Shocking – is a milder term if we consider the just
delivered 2G verdict. Here after we can use the term ‘2G-ised’ when we come
across the kind of verdict we got on 2G corruption case. And it is doubtful
whether we will ever come across a repeat of 2G corruption – because such
cases, even if they are far greater (or worse) than 2G corruption, would never
see the light of day given the kind of nexus in which the political hand is a
big suspect.
The biggest gainer is not even the DMK, it is the
Congress! Congress has been acquitted of any corruption image as 2G was made
out to be face of corruption of all times perhaps. Now we see everything so so
good of Congress. It is a corrupt free party. It is secular embracing all
religions, Christian, Muslim and now Hindus also. Look at how Rahulji is making
temple visits. How Rahulji is younger than Modiji in age and maturity. How
Rahulji has not even married for the sake of service to the country. How
Rahulji is caring about his mother and women and everyone. Is there anything that
is not in Rahulji that you find in Modiji?
What a wonderful template has been handed over to
Rahul to help his baby steps make giant leaps! Is the BJP aware of image
make-over that Congress has got from this verdict? No one would believe the
theory that the court has delivered this verdict without a remote control
behind it. If in the coming days BJP sings paeans on the DMK, if Dr Swamy opens
his mouth praising the DMK as a Hindu party with which BJP can align and if
corruption cases are filed against ADMK leaders, know that a remote control has
indeed worked.
Elections are fought in this country on ‘anti’
platforms. BJP gained in the last elections due to anti-Congress vote. Congress
was perceived as a corrupt party (thanks to 2G case) and also an anti-Hindu
party. Rahul had taken care of latter as was seen in the just concluded Gujarat
elections. Now the 2G verdict has wiped out the corrupt image of the congress
as a zero- corrupt party. On what plank the BJP is going take on the Congress
in 2019?
Food
for Thought from Mahabharata:6-9.
Sanjaya to Dhritharashtra:-
“Brave kings conversant with virtue and profit have
become covetous of Earth. Endued with
activity, they would even cast away their lives in battle, from hunger of
wealth...Desirous of enjoying Earth, the kings, O chief of the Bharatas,
have become like dogs that snatch meat from one
another. Their ambition is unbounded,
knowing no gratification”.
This is the state of Bharat 5000 years ago, and
continues to be so even after monarchy has given way to democracy.
