Corruption Indian style

You must have read not long ago that the budget provision for the Commonwealth Games to be held in Delhi has been enhanced by 1600 crores.

Now read this:

The work on the present building of the Bombay High Court was commenced in April 1871 and completed in November 1878 and is situated between the University Building and the Public Work Secretariat and is 562 feet in length by 187 in breadth. It general height to the east is 90 feet, and the Central feature is 178 ½ feet in height. The building which is early English-Gothic was designed by Colonel J.A.Fuller, R.E. and was completed at a cost of Rs. 16,44,528 which was about Rs. 3000, less then the sanctioned estimate.

Rs.3000 less? There must be basically something wrong with people of that age. How could they not be corrupt?

Every public sector undertaking has had cost over run by hundreds of crores. I have yet to come across a project completed before time and within budgeted amount. Isn't it extraordinary that the so-called freedom fighters, at the first opportunity in 1948, indulged in Jeep Scandal and continue unabated by the second and third generation of our politicians, the most recent being the 3-G scam estimated to be of the order of 60,000 crores. Remember the drama of formation of UPA Government after results were announced on 16/5/2009 when Karunanidhi moved heavens and earth to get for Raja the Communications Ministry. CBI raids is an eyewash - it conducts raids after giving the opportunity to scamsters to destroy all the evidence.

That is why Churchill is reported to have said :

Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low caliber and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight among themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles.

If the Communication Minister Raja did scam of 60,000 crores what the Governament official they are doing. The top to bottem in CBI are corrup officials. One person told CBI stands for CONGRESS BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION don't allow any type of investigationon there supporters.

It came from ages before independence. Imported from the Great Briton. And it is the style of Brit.

The Britishers are the masters how to corrupt people. Now also we can see the Ministers they claim false bills from the Government. Like Gorden Brown.

If RR Patil, after being sacked, makes a comeback as Home Minister of Maharashtra, not even God, if there be one, can save us.

Sack Vilasrao Deshmukh. Make him Heavy Industry Minister at the Centre.

Shivaji Patil loses Lok Sabha election in 2004. Make him dress changing Home Minister in Delhi.

Mumbai is under attack. Home Minister is groping in the dark in Delhi. Where are my commandos? Oh! they are guarding my fortress. Where is my perfume?

Is there any greater shame?

However, they stated that former Union home minister and Lok Sabha speaker Congressman Shivraj Patil was most likely to get the appointments due to his good equation with All India Congress Committee president Sonia Gandhi
