cash for vote
by Prahlad Sutwala on Aug 04, 2008 03:23 PM   Permalink

Why are there charges and countercharges being made and pretense being put up by all political parties.

Would it not be safe for a common man to assume that a lot of money has exchanged hands among all the MP's, even those who have willingly voted in favour of their own parties. None of the common citizens can prove anything, but are we to believe that even congress MP'sor BJP MP's or similarly from all the parties across the board have received some form of inducement to keep themseleves in line with the party. Have not the parties thyemselves and the powers that control the purse strings in respective parties opened their coffers for their own kith and kin.

The only difference is that those who have dared to rebel have crossed the line of theor conscience also and sold themselves to a higher bidder.

Were this not a fact, then BJP would not have underplayed this matter to the extent to which it is trying to underplay it and the congress would not have chosen to ignore it the way it is trying to do right now.
