Aaj Ki Aawaz

'DMK has backed Raja so CBI will treat him with 'kid's gloves'!!!

So during custodial interrogation CBI will not be like 'hawks' but like doves'!!

So Raja will continue to give CBI 'the run around'!!!

What will CBI get out of him...... a big fat 'round' (zero)!!

Karuna has said Raja tried to benefit the poor!!!

Karuna's sense of propriety and probity has always been extremely poor!!

Raja flouted every rule in the book not to help the poor but to rake in moolah!!!

And now Karuna siding with Raja will force CBI to treat Raja like a 'Doolah'!!

Kanimozhi is being protected and Karuna has made it abs clear!!!!

That away from Kanimozhi the investigation CBI should steer!!

Again..... Raja could not have done what he did alone!!

And this will be clear when Kanimozhi's role and Karuna's tacit okay are blown!!

I says ' will be blown' because truth has an uncanny knack of 'appearing'!!!

And some truth will appear as voting date in TN is nearing!!

Mohna says India needs to change the delivery rate .....which is estimated at 8%!!

Which means only 8 paisa reaches the cause of every Rupee sent!!

Nowadays Sonia wants be seen as the Queen of Compassion!!

It's like a passing fashion!!!

For her passion Mohna cannot increase the 'dole'!!!!

That is why he wants delivery rate to go up and narrow the pilferage hole!!

The system is rotten and I feel Mohna will be fighting a loosing battle!!

Either he gets more money or he should now itself conjure up for Sonia a 'rattle'!

Because as general elections near Sonia's appeasement will rocket!!

Even the majority minority now want 'the goods' and do not get taken in by the fez cap and locket!!

Why do you think come elections and you see Mulayam and Laloo in fez caps????

And 'taweezes' are to be found on both these chaps!!

As elections near Sonia's compassion fashion would have become a 'need'!!!

Purely out of 'power ki greed'!!

Yes Diggy will in the meantime continue his 'Muslim vote bank appeasement mission'!

Next .....'on Hassan Ali who is a Muslim being tormented he'll demand a Commission'!!!!

Mubarak says ' I'm fed up but there will be total chaos if now I go'!!!

Egyptians says ' there is chaos because to go Mubarak is saying no'!!

They say Mubarak has got 40 Billion stashed away!!!!

A major part of Egypt's National debt Mubarak himself can pay!!

Obama has the Israelis on his back and they are worried about Mubarak going!

Because in Egypt now 'Muslim brotherhood wind is blowing'!!

Israel does not want a fundamentalist regime in the Land of the Nile!!!

Obama's advice cum order to Mubarak 'go now' Israelis ko sure did rile!!

Yeddy says to ward of 'black magic' he will be doing surya namsakar in the buff!!!!

And now he's also used Netaon ka oft used bluff!!

He says if the corruption charges are proved he'll take sanyaas... what about Madam Shobha?????

Because of his fondness for her and her 'power' there is a lot of 'hai tauba'!!

If charges are proved Yeddy will blame it on 'jaadoo toona'!!

And fib 'because of jaadu toona lagaa diya maine Karnataka ko crores ka choona'!!!

If BJP has to gain ground Advani, Ghadkari and Yeddy must go...order is immaterial!

Advani is definitely not PM material!!

Confucius says........ Advani is seeking reemployment and that to at the top!

Rule of reemployment is 'at a lower rank/post and certain perks stop'!!!

Flash...... SC and Sarkaar on Thomas are playing ping-pong!!!

The issue karr raha hai ding-dong (to and fro)!!

SC smashes the ball and Sarkaar returns smash with a high lob!!!

Fact of the matter is Thomas is 'unfit' for this job!!

Winner will be the one joh nahi hotha tire!!

Or will the game continue till it is time for Thomas to retire?????

Behura had limited options

Finally Telecom Raja is arrested alongwith two of his aides. Though I don't blame ex Secretary Behura much as he had limited options. He had to bow to the whims of Ex- Minister A. Raja. Other option before him could have been either to move out of DOT or seek VRS. Neither of the two was easy specially so when you are at the peak of your career. However, he still compromised his integrity and as a consequence he was destined to suffer this way....Nevertheless these people should have been put behind bars long ago... I wish, we could reward courageous CAG people who unearthed this scam of whopping magnitude...CAG people you are the actual Bharat Ratnas of India...Anyway, Even these arrest could be the handiwork of some secret understanding between Congress and DMK. A day before they had secret parleys. After Raja's arrest DMK promptly disowned Raja as a face saving measure. This can be an eyewash for public or may be election plank or may be they want to wash their hands off Raja. Perhaps, Govt. is compelled to do so as Apex Court is monitoring the case. Still, it seems that Government have given Raja time so that he can suitably hide his ill gotten money. Now, how his protectors would react especially present Communication Minister, PC and Pranav da. They all were trying to put blame on CAG that they have got it all wrong... A. Raja should be grilled to the core and why only him, probe his patrons ie. DMK headed by Karunanidhi and allies as well. They must be held accountable and entire money should be recovered from them. I repeat entire sum should be recovered from them. It can't be said that they might have favoured some companies without monetary considerations....I find entire cabinet responsible for this mess. Head of the Govt. can't escape his responsibility. Mr. Prime Minister, you and your cabinet will have to explain a lot in the ensuing session of parliament if opposition allow it to function. Your Mr. Clean image is fast catching dirt...I foresee even your Government's stability at stake.... I don't understand what is the hitch in setting up JPC. If you are innocent, you would come out flawlessly. This will enhance your reputation and improve your standing in public eye. you can reap rich harvest in next elections and if, God forbade, found guilty, you will get chance to repent at leisure and you can redo your strategy... Your rigidness is baffling... Ruling party or opposition one of you will have to relent. Please have mercy on the nation, let the parliament work in budget session.

RADIA Tapes

I came across a news item that the Radia Tapes will be destroyed by Government. This is not a good decision. The entire conversation with different people - Tatas, Gandhis, etc. should be made public.
