At the doorsteps of the PM

image The country has witnessed a lot of large scale scams in the recent years especially the ones during the UPA government. The UPA has been defending itself with PM as the shield. The UPA government has made some very wrong moves when it comes to prevention or curbing of legal protest by ordinary citizens against the corruption. The UPA  led government  has been projecting Prime Minister as the man of impeccable integrity.  may be he is a honest person but  is he a responsible Prime minister and doesn't he hold any moral responsibility for the scam that took place under his tenure as the prime minister or head of the government.

 

Appointment of Chief Vigilance commissioner:

The prime minister and the home minister went ahead to appoint Mr.P.J.Thomas as the Chief Vigilance commissioner of central vigilance Commission despite opposition from the leader of opposition. The matter was then taken to court and the court held that the appointment as null and void since there was a corruption case pending against Mr.P.J.Thomas. The Government first claim that there was no information provide to prime minister office and home ministry regarding the pending corruption case and claimed innocent but later in the parliament PM accept the responsibility for appointment.

 

2G Scam:

The 2G scam is a well know scam in the country, did the Prime minister act responsibly enough to prevent the loss of revenue to the government though he acted prudently during the issue of  3G licensing. The PM had several time defended Mr.Raja the then telecom minister. PM also act imprudently by not making a decision on sanction for the crime prosecution of Mr.A.Raja the then minister of his cabinet. PM could have denied sanction but his failure to take decision is what makes it be foul play. The PM has sought legal opinion and upon obtaining legal opinion he should have made a decision and should have communicated it to the petitioner/applicant.The whole story in nut shell is he failed to prevent the scam, later defended the licensing decision and Mr.Raja, failed decide on sanction for prosecution application  and no action was taken against the telecom company which benefitted from 2G licensing scam-

 

Devas – Antrix S-Band spectrum Contract:

Antrix , the marketing wing of ISRO gave way a rare spectrum at throw away price for a company called devas for a period of 20 year. What transpired this contract and who were all behind the deal is still under probe.  It’s to be noted that the Antrix is under the control of the PMO office  and murky deal right under the Prime ministers office  is yet an another failure of Prime minister.

 

Lack of leadership:

The Prime minster in case of the Lokpal protest by Shri.Anna hazare and anticorruption protest by Shri. Baba ram dev has show lack leadership. he has allowed other legally qualified ministers of his cabinet to handle such sensitive issue. Those ministers tried to tackle the issue insensitively by adopting legal solution to a political problem there by the country was brought to stand still for few days. The prime minister then promised to introduce and pass the bill during the winter session (2012) but failed to pass the bill. He clearly lacked the leadership in this particular case of Lokpal and anticorruption protest.

 

All the above mentioned scams and issue straight away lead to the doorsteps of the PM’s office. How can a prudent man after all these scams and incidents still believe that he is a responsible prime minister though Dr.Manmohan singh has very good personal record as an honest, hard working, straight forward and simple person but as prime minister of the country has he delivered, i leave it to you to decide ….

AIADMK heading for a disastrous 2014 Elections

image AIADMK  had won the 2011 state election by a huge and an unexpected margin. Thereafter coming to power with lot of promises and hopes, has so far let down the people of Tamilnadu. Some of  the  acts  and behaviours which is unpleasing and will certainly reduce the chance of winning the 2014 Parliament elections.  below are the list of unpleasing acts and behaviour,

Important issues that will affect the electoral prospects of AIADMK:

  1. Electricity cuts : The electoral promise of providing uninterrupted electricity supply has so far not been met. In fact in recent past the electricity cuts as long as 6 to 7 hrs a day.
  2. Hike in Bus fare and milk cost: This has hit very hard on the lower income and middle income class very badly. This single factor could led to very disastrous 2014 election results for AIADMK.
  3. Lacks a clear stand on Kudamkulam nuclear power plant: The state government is not clear with its stand on the power plant. it neither opposes or

Important issues which has brought down the image of AIADMK:

  1. Samacheer Kalvi: To start with The AIADMK’s stand on samacheer kalvi and legal battle will caused delay  in re-opening of the schools, especially class 10. The students and parents had lot of odd / unpleasant times due this.
  2. Land crabbing cases – All most all ex-ministers of DMK has been arrested under the land grabbing charges. This is certainly an act of vengeance which certainly casts a bad shadow on the party.
  3. Suspension of leader of opposition: Ugly spat with the leader of opposition and the former ally of AIADMK has certainly brought down the image and certainly makes AIADMK an unreliable ally. To make matters worst the leader of opposition was suspended for 10 days in a very hasty manner probably to the power of the AIADMK

One may still argue that 2014 election are quite a long time from now to predict the possible out comes, yes it’s quite little long from now but the recent activities show us that it’s quite very imminent that a marginal or huge defeat is waiting on AIADMK’S way unless there is a drastic change in it’s approach.

Can Chidambaram escape the 2G trial

image Today the Supreme court has pronounced a very important judgement in the 2G spectrum allocation case. It’s has given some sort for breathing time for Mr.Chidambaram. The supreme court in it’s order has cancelled 121 licenses issued to telecom companies under the UPA-1 regime. This is a big blow to the UPA and to Congress and DMK in particular. Now the question is will UPA yet again face another embarrassment, defending Mr.Raja back fired at them and now defending Mr.Chidambaram  may back fire at the UPA government. The supreme court has decided not decide on inclusion of Mr.Chidambaram in the 2G trial and left it to the CBI court to decide upon the matter. February 4th is the day on which CBI trial court is expected to deliver it’s judgement on Mr.Chidambaram inclusion in the 2G trial.

What are the possible scenario:

Scenario – I : Inclusion on Mr. P.Chidambaram: 

In this case the Mr.Chidambaram will be left with very few choice. He will for sure will appeal against the decision but there will be lot more chances of the appeal being dismissed rather than being allowed in the high court or in the supreme court.

Scenario – 2 : Non- Inclusion on Mr. P.Chidambaram: (Most likely scenario)

Well in this case there will be an appeal as against non inclusion of Mr.P.Chidambaram and the appeal will be most probably be allowed. The chances of succeeding the appeal is predicated based on today’s judgement on 2G case by supreme court. This scenario is the mostly likely because this would allow time to Mr.Chidambaram and lower court may try to put the ball in the superior courts to decide on this critical matter. It’s seems form today’s judgement that Mr.P.Chidambaram is most likely to face trial and likely to lose the Home Ministry.
