Husssshhh… Don’t say anything about it. It isn’t mother of all scams but with all kinds of allegations flying thick and fast, I truly believe that it is a “manufactured” dissent. The culpable media is the biggest culprit because we have had scams before or the ones that have not been unearthed as yet. Or is out of public scrutiny or knowledge. Anything goes in the country with right “connections” and will to roughshod over the established procedures.
It the The Pioneer that has been after Raja for over a year now and they have permalinks on their homepage detailing the nitty gritty of the telecom auction. Rules were changed at last minute and it only goes on to say and prove the massive clout that these companies have.
Even though Raja is the face of great Indian Telecom scandal (more than Sukh Ram, if the readers care to remember who had no place to stash his ill gotten wealth), the nameless faceless wheelers dealers and fixers are not known. They would NEVER be known.
Pioneer interestingly had an editorial imploring Man-Moron Singh to sack the wily minister ( in interests on keeping the discussion clean, no one calls him a bastard). It is a scary thought. Companies have access to the corridors of power. At beck and call. They practically own the nation. They RUN the nation. Democracy is notional and till the time we don’t wake up to change the system, it would feed on you and me.
The ill gotten wealth is lost in a black hole. We wouldn’t know the quantum of it because it’s hard to believe the media. Yet, the money gifted away would be recovered from you and me. We would have to pay these buggers in way of “surcharges” or whatever they fancy.
TRAI, as usual, would look the other way. They are in any case, ahem….you know what.
Pioneer breaks the “scandal” causing a ruckus in Parliament.
