It is painfully amusing when people like our dear Pappu and her mother claim the legacy of the stalwarts like Subhash Bose, Ballabhbhai Patel, Tilak, Ambedkar, Lala lajpat, Surya Sen or Lalbahadur Shashtri – just because Gandhi was brutally ignored when he wanted that the name of Congress be changed after independence and one family took it upon their shoulder to claim all credits of independence struggle minus the blames for the partition, which Nehru had mishandled in every way in his hurry and greed for power, ignoring the pathetic plight of cores of hapless Bengalis and Punjabis – the two main pillars of the whole struggle. But it becomes a cruel joke when some people, all the opportunistic and the corrupt who had a field day in the times of the family and are feeling the heat after the change, are trying to convince us the gullible people of the same.
A family that has always been in the
forefront of a regal living minus all the responsibility of the cruel blunders that
borders on sedition, the Kashmir question to the much too much sacrifice for
China which gave a fitting gift in reply in 1962, the dirty womanizer can also
be credited to the murders of the nation’s two of the biggest jewels !! We have
seen the absolute pains the party has taken for more than half a century to
cover up the death issues of Subhash Bose and Shyamaprasad – while all the
needles pointed to the dirty man who not only sacrificed the country’s
interests in many major issues, but also ignored the most important and logical
advices of leaders like Abmedkar and Patel to stop the atrocities of the crores
of the hapless hindus at the time of the hasty and maneuvered partition –
exchange of people and property could have helped crores of people from the
murder and rapes and forced conversions and being a complete penniless paupers
suddenly on one fine night – for no fault of theirs.
Later on, Indira, with all due credit
for being a very good administrator and the iron will showed in 1971, can also be
credited with the murder of Lalbahadur, continued cover-up of the previous
wrong-doings, keeping the economy on a tight leash that erupted a volcano of
the all-round corruption and nepotism where Sanjay Gandhi had much more power
than the RBI Governor or the ministers or anybody else for that matter, the “Talwar
amendment “ or “Kissa kursi ka” give us a valuable insight behind many other
incidents like Maruti or Kuo Oil affairs. After Indira, Rajiv Gandhi, with much
more modern vision and intent, also went in the line of the family in Bofors
and other cronies deals. Then with a welcome exception of the Narsimha Rao
regime, the party has always hurt the nation’s interests in their governance,
with a long long list of the big scams and corruption cases where the family
treated the country as their virtual zamindary.
Today Pappu is at it again. Is it his
inherited property (what by the way, his forefathers do to amass such huge
property anyway, we must ask) that he is trying to entice the voters with a
giveaway for about 4 lac crore rupees if they come to power ? It is even much
more than the entire defense budget, times of the education or health budget. Whom is he kidding when he says that there
will not be a single poor in the country ? Has he thought of the needed tax
structure from this kind of cash dole and the effect on the economic indicators
including the inflationary effect of the
largesse that will make the poor people beggers on one hand, crush the honest
taxpayers with higher tax and inflationary effect and close down the small
enterprises with worker problem simply because the workers will try to become
beggers !!
Thank you Pappu, this is what is expected
from a devilish family hell-bent on their own interest above the country !!
