Scams and NEWS

Well, what a weekend it was after Diwali has come and gone, by the way happy Diwali to one and all, of my readers and to all my fellow brother and sisters of my brothers,


After Obama came and conquered every bit of Mumbai for 3 days and while everyone was still captivated by him and his lovely elbow partner, Michelle, no offense, 


The first in a series of shockers comes in the form of axes on Mr. Chavan (refrain from using his first name well because I have a point to make further on,  which if you continue reading you will find out yourself) and his partner from the north Mr. Kalmadi, who deservedly so also got chopped down to size. One involved in a shameless usurping of property reserved for the Kargil Widows and allowing such acts to take place during his reign when he was in power as the Finance Minister, and the other who inspite of making India proud during the Commonwealth Games, brought nothing but shame before them. I am sure they could have said that they were mere scapegoats in the entire mix, because my opinion which I stand by is that all the money aint going only into the pockets of these "harshmen" but also finding itself back into the coffers of the ruling party as well. The reason for the title btw is that NEWS as we all know stands for North, East, West and well South, so the west man, is Mr. Chavan, the North stands for Kalmadi the East Stands for Mr. Sen. Who is Mr. Sen , obviously anybody from the East, but to be more precise could be anyone from WB and no that aint Warner Bros, it is West Bengal, and the role of a High Court Judge Mr. Sen where he was found Guilty of Misappropriation  of funds, can you believe it the men supposed to uphold the justice in our country are guilty of such acts.


And then before I inevitably come to end of this never ending saga of Scams and Whams, with the S factor, let me just give you some stats and facts to make it more $$$


The CWG Scam, 70000 Cr.+ Adarsh Scam, a Building full of politicians and a state in shame, + Some few Lakhs + and the big daddy of them all, the telecom 2g scam, I know 3G has come to India now but when 2G was launched the minister incharge of allocating the spectrum a fairly inconspicuous  sounding name such as  A Raja has amassed a scam worth ....drum rolls please, ladies and gentlemen, a whopping Rs. 1,40,000 Crore budget, that is more than our Agriculture overlay and equates to our entire Defence Budget. 


And oh Yes before I forget Mr. Chavan is the only way I guess for one to be the Chief Minister of Maharashtra coz yet another Mr. Chavan has taken over the hot seat.


So what do we learn from all this well, nothing unless we use our voices to do something about it and the last the ES have still to be taken to task, we say that our rural households are impoverished well now we know why, four men just four men, have taken away a huge chunk of the common man's hard earned tax money, and what do we do about it , nothing apart from write a blog in obscurity which a few people will read and do nothing about, the indian Saga continues! 


Carpe Diem people, Seize the day, Just Some food for thought! ( I think my blogs can do wonder for any insomniac instant therapy for blissful slumber....)


Till de next time, 


Goodnight  and God Speed....
