It is quite surprising that TV has the audacity to talk about bribes. Hardly a month has passed since the BJP was installed in Karnataka and they have been buying MLAs from the JD(s) and Congress. Tell me did these elected members suddenly fall in love with the BJP or where there pecuniary benefits at work here? Is this really the difference in the party with the difference? You may say they resigned their seats but is that not horse trading when an elected member opts out and moves to an opposing party. This entire piece is an attempt to show PM Manmohan Singh as a lackey of the Congress President. The entire effort of the Sangh Parivar be it in politics or those commenting on these columns in readers views - some barely literate people who spew venom on the PM and as a whole they are 'Gobbelsian' in repeating the same rubbish. Manmohan Singh has repeatedly resigned when he has felt offended or slighted. Don't take my word for it by look into his life and see. Why then should this proud Sikh continue in office when his track record shows something else.
The currency notes so dramatically produced in the house have their own story to tell and a proper investigation will prove its veracity if any. If not those guilty of this drama will be punished. I was also surprised to note the tough on terrorism stamp accorded to the NDA government where the Foreign Minister chaperoned a few terrorists safely to Kandahar and the Home Minister did not know what was happening!
