THE BUCK STOPS HERE

Actually I have no idea where the buck stops. Once upon a time Rajiv Gandhi's 64cr scam which by the way is still being probed looked huge but now Raja ji beats all .The uncrowned king of scamsters has made India poorer by just 170,000 Cr.

Is corruption synonymous to the political infrastructure of our motherland? Recently a CWG official who is neck deep in the scam involving the most uncommon wealth games said"Thoda bahut to chalta hai".Do you have an idea how much this so called Thoda has cost the common Indian taxpayer's pocket? A whooping 70,000cr by the official figures. If this is Thoda ,I hope to live to see what is bahut?
Irony lies in the fact that same common man forgot all about the loot of his hard earned money after the eye wash provided by the opening and closing ceremony of the games. Just today the newspaper reads about an IAS official who demanded sex or money as bribe to clear files which came to him for consideration.
Every week a new scam is unearthed. Like the Friday movie release the breaking news débuts a fresh skeleton from the cuboard.And believe me the more I read the more I feel that it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Even god may not have the exact figures about the amount of money these tainted politicians may have stacked in their Swiss bank lockers.
Thus the million dollar question is when this chalta hai attitude will will evolve into bas bahut ho gaya.
So is the situation grim?
YES
Is the law of the land strong enough to bring these khadi clad culprits to book?
YES
When and how that’s a conclusion Ill love to pen down someday.
