At the doorsteps of the PM

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 ….
