Let me have the immense displeasure to introduce all my readers with some of the facts of this festival which unlike other festivals,belongs to any particular religion or even better to say ,it actually belongs to all the religions. Furthermore, There is No Specific interval after which this festival arrives. Neither does it actually allow its visitors and spectators to have a glory of robbing,as the title says, 'LOOT'. In fact this festival comes by the choice of the people who are its victims later on. And I am Sorry to say, majority of us fall under this lament category. May be some of You have already made a right guess, yes I am talking about the 'CONGRESS RAJ' which declared in its manifesto, a slogan that gained a popularity not less than that of 'HAMARA BAJAJ' claiming its 'reign' to upgrade the life of The Common Citizen and of the Nation as a whole. It says, "Aam Admi Ke Badhte Kadam. Har Kadam Par Bharat Buland"
And at the same time When the Congressians were shouting their lungs out that country has witnessed immense growth under their Rule, the 'AAM JANTA' (the common people) were merely the spectators to the Country's Biggest Inflation ever on same food prices a major part of which was rotting due to either lack of storage facilities or poor maintenance of stocks in the existing facilities.
As on January 1 this year, 10,688 lakh tonnes of foodgrains were found damaged in the depots of the Food Corporation of India (FCI), enough to feed over six lakh people for over 10 years.The storage losses of foodgrains in 2009-10 amounted to Rs 228.39 crore and transit losses another Rs 182.46 crore.
The Glory continues with COMMONWEALTH SCANDAL going parallel with the 2G SPECTRUM SCAM wherein Country Lost or better to say, 'Invested' Lakhs of Crore (a 13 digit figure) in the teams led by Mr Suresh Kalmadi and A. Raja respectively.
Not that I have Forgot the 'ADARSH SOCIETY' scam, it is just that Congress have had a Long list of Corruption cases that makes me baffle of what sequence to follow.
The list does not stop here. Congress has a Bright Historical record of with some of India's Biggest Corruption scandals like The famous V.P.Malhotra (Chief Cashier of State Bank of India) case in which he got a telephone call believing from Indira Gandhi to pay Rs,60 lakhs to one Nagarwal remained a mystery. Corruption cases like Fairfax, HBJ Pipeline, and HDW Submarine deal came up since then. The famous Bofor’s deal is well known. Narsimha Rao was the first Prime Minister being prosecuted in corruption charges. Cases like Rs.2500 crore -Airbus A-320 deal with France involving kickback (1990), Harshad Mehta security scam (1992), Gold Star Steel and Alloys controversy (1992), JMM bribery case, Hawala scam of Rs. 65 crore and Urea scam (1996) also came up during the period of Narsimha Rao Government.
Having read the above facts, No Wonder,We might still hand over the Steering Wheel to the the current drivers of Country's lame political scenario in the next General Elections because, as Paulo Coelho rightly puts,
"Election is the art of chosing the candidate you hate least"
