The leaking out of the report indicting the Karnataka CM and his coterie in the mining scam and the resultant tamasha in the media has made me wary of the political class has a whole, though it has only confirmed my misgivings about the nature of our political animals and made believing in their words henceforth a case of immense leap in Faith.
Look at the BJP for instance.. .. after almost a year of crying hoarse over the corruption issue, which also included dancing in a 'mujra' sans 'Shoukins' at the tomb of the father-of-the-nation, today when it comes to the point of making a clear statement to the electorate by putting it's own house in order, the venerable leaders of the sham opposition have decided to choose the easy path, the Narsimha Rao path of silence.
Yedurappa will not go, Yedurappa cannot go... Electoral Mathematics will not allow it... and what's more Mr. Gadkari, has also gone all the way, stating that the electoral victory of the BJP in the recent bye-elections is enough proof of the fact that the populace does not think of him in bad light and so the topic is an non-issue! Well... if this be the case, then even the Congress has won the Assembly election in 3 out of 4 states and so the sword of Corruption that hangs over it's head should also be thrown aside.... Sadly for both you and your adversary, that's not the case and that cannot be the case
Corruption has to be rooted out and the dark faces of both the Congress and the BJP need to be scrubbed clean of it or both need to be thrown in the dustbin of history.
And now look at the Civil Society... the harbingers of change, the all-in-white crusaders against a men-in-black government have suddenly decided to close ranks behind an imaginary wall rather than condemn the government of Karnataka.... where is the famous Anna and his righteous comment on the subject?
It only goes to show that the so called Crusaders need a generous wallop of Surf Excel to wash off their own clean linen that has now been exposed to be as dirty as the other ones......
