A Devil's Advocate's Babble ... Hope it makes sense...


Surprise Surprise !!! Yeah!! U heard it right …. We also have an empowered group of ministers on corruption. Going by the log books of North Block, little bird says that this GoM is the most active among all “sundry and all” committees of “Aaam admi” government busy in “Bharat Nirman”. Thanks to CWG, 2G, Adarsha Housing, ISRO, CVC, Black money scams, this committee got full 100 days work on a trot in last three months… “Jai ho” for the National Employment Guarantee Scheme of Respected Prime Minister, like other millions of poorest, these ministers are also getting their daily per diem without any delay and off course without any CUT to attend these committees. In the mean time, PM is so assured with this GoM that he just closed his eyes from all wordly pittance like accountability, self respect, morality and doing his deep meditation burying his head into deep shit…proverbial sand seems to be not enough for testing his perseverance or save him from the blushes…After all ,Sonia Jee is so happy at her protégé superlative performance …India has arrived on world stage.... Its no mean feat that the Swiss bank accounts are flush with Indian rupees only…Even,Italy is celebrating their daugheter's great achievement with Bunga Bunga parties. The whiff of pride is just everywhere..



N what did this empowered group of ministers on corruption did in last three months: They bullied , they flexed their muscles and they tore apart any reasonable page from rule books of running government ( read constitution)….They shut the Parliament and made sure that disgruntled opposition does not get opportunity to heckle their high performing ministers , they questioned CAG saying that its calculation on 2G is blatantly erroneous and speculative , they raised eye brows on Supreme Court’s decision to directly supervise CBI and last but not the least : it was the master stroke among all - they put an experienced “ Charge sheeted” CVC with an impeccable track record in public service to fight the battle of corruption to each nook and cranny of country . Yes, Off course, whenever Rahul Baba returns to 10 Janpath from his sojourns after having his dinner at Dalit, Kisan or a Majdoor’s Jhopdis , they even did have to flock together for Rahul Baba’s philosophical discourse on Nation building …


Isn’t harsh if this empowered group of ministers is working so hard on multifarious issues of corruption , how can we expect the Foreign minister not dozing off at UN summit and then innocently read some one’s else speech, Agriculture Minister having no clue why onion and milk prices are sky rocketing. Forget about them, one should actually pity ministers like our environment minister … poor fellow did not know when did they construct that 33 story building without his clearance. He could have also got one flat allotted on his grand son’s name. The home minister just having a memory loss that we did have 26 11 some time back and Kasab is still enjoying his “pink health” with Incredible India’s hospitality ….Examples are galore...These are just few shining examples to drive home the point...

On a serious note, let us not poke fun on our already hard-pressed but untiring and conscientious leaders …. Believe me we are at the safe hands … Countries like .Egypt, Yeman and Tunisia come and go…India would continue to shine with such unassuming and selfless leadership …. Thank God!! We hardly need any Tahrir Squares in India…

All is well here ...
