Politicians in India are unique lot in themselves. They not only defy established norms of governance, decency and society, they also defy old adage like "Chorawa Chorawa Mausiaut Bhai" (All thieves are maternal cousins). In fact no rule of nature, society, nation applies to them. Otherwise what would you say about loud voices raised by a party when other party is caught red handed but keep mum when their own men are caught. BJP and other parties have been shouting from roof top against UPA government, Manmohan Singh and others , accusing them of abetting scam after scam - 2G, CWG to name a few. But very same parties are quite when All top ministers, including chief Minister of Karnataka, have been indicted by Lokayukta in illegal mining cases. It's not that illegal mining issue have been raised by Lokayukta suddenly. Like 2G , CWG etc, this epitome of corruption has also been known to public , including BJP, since ages (in today's fast world a year is more than a decade as public memory fades fast !). Had BJP and UPA shown respect to rules of game - social, political, decency... they would have kept mum and refrained from attacking each other irrespective of magnitude of corruption.That way less noise would have been generated and probably their brethren would have not been tasting pakora and chai in Tihar and other such designated and respectable Jails. This would have also, probably, delayed arrival of likes of Anna Hazare , Ramdev on political scene of nation. Unfortunately politics , it seems, is self annihilating process partuclarly when your objective is to fill your coffers at the expense of poor men. They become so arrogant that they forget that public too have some intelligence and is capable of making them lick the dust. Let's hope smart among politicians realise that respect for rule and age old customs is important and start internalising at least "Chorawa Chorawa Mausiaut Bhai" at least. That way there is , thou remote. but hope for nation !
