Bangalore: When they accuse BJP of corruption in Karnataka or Gujarat or New Delhi (Under Vajpayee) the Congress conveniently forgets what is lying on its food plate. It is like calling the kettle ‘black’ by a dark pot. Jesus would say to Sonia Gandhi, a Christian, that a dead donkey is on her lunch leaf while she may be pointing to a dead fly on the neighbor’s plate. Why this allegory? The Wikileaks has revealed the weakness of Indian politicians reaching foolish and frantic proportions, when to win for extra votes in a ‘Confidence’ voting process, Congress has served out Rs.40 crores as pay-off to buy Ajith Singh’s votes. Two chests containing lots of cash, as in pots, were part of a bigger bribe fund of Rs.50 to 60 crores to winning majority for PM Manamohan Singh in 2008. The story needs no proof, it is an open secret now, that a clean man like PM had been spoilt by political tangles several times, as in 2G Spectrum sales.
BJP never carried two chests containing cash as pay-off” to win supports of some MPs ahead of a crucial vote of confidence in UPA govt. when PM Manmohan Singh was about to lose but for the bribes. The Congress Party worked “overtime” on 22nd July, 2008, the US cables from Wikileaks exposure claimed, to win the vote from Left Front saboteurs in Parliament.
The RLD chief Ajith Singh whose 4 MPs were stated to have been paid Rs.10 crores each from a chest containing Rs.50 to 60 crores, flatly denied the pay offs for face saving reasons of a thief caught red-handed at night.
The Congress aide of leader Satish Sharma showed all the money lying around the house to US embassy employee to win his confidence first, before Lok Saba vote for PM Singh in 2008.
