Scams have become norm of the day. It started with with Mrs, Sushma Swaraj, CM of Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Chattisgarh. Fews days ago we heard the story of Air India reduced to being a personal carrier of VVIPs completely subservient to the whims and fancies of Ministers and senior bureaucrats. It was Mr Fadnavis the CM of Maharashtra who got the flight delayed while Mr Rijiju got the regular passengers to vacate the seats for him and we have also heard that MK Stalin, the DMK leader in Chennai slapped a man standing close to him, in local train for refusing to move ahead. Our leaders are earning great disrepute for demanding preferential treatment and in showing utter disregard for rules that normal citizens have to abide by.
Now it VYAPAM SCAM that has superseded all other scams because it is recorded that the scam is about Rs 2000/ crores,but internally it is being discussed and agreed that it is 20 times more than 2000/ crores,which is the biggest in independent India.
The sudden and mysterious deaths of witnesses and people associated with it is most alarming while it is fact that the prominent BJP members claim that the NDA Govt's biggest achievement is No scam on one year of its rule. Such a virtuous self praise has now been squarely eclipsed with the repots of one major disparaging story every other day.
The VYAPAM to me it appears like a plot in a spicy novel of Agatha Christie wherein the people associated with the probe will get eliminated one after the other and the stony silence of the PM and BJP as such will certainly erode the credibility of the party/Govt in the centre and the people who voted and wanted to have a change must be disillusioned as this also looks to be equally corrupt.
Having seen such big scams, I fail to understand as to where are the high decibel NGOs and and so called activists and where are the constitutional provisions for the safety of the whistle blowers against the might of such corrupt people?
As all of us know this scandal has come to light only after some years of continuous rigging of eligibility tests and different recruitment drives and this itself speaks the absence of any vigilance machinery in MP. As we all know the NDA led BJP came to power by fanning the dreams of glorious vision of the future. However nothing seems to be happening. After Lalit Gate, this VYAPAM Scam and the way it being dealt with is greatly eroding the credibility of the Govt and the party.
But the yesterday's move of Mr Chouhan in approaching the High Court, for a CBI probe is to preempt an order by Supreme Court to that effect .The sad part of it the CM's family members, Governor and his son etc are all said to be either directly or indirectly involved. The CBI now has to do a comprehensive investigation into the coverup and the conspiracy behind the series of deaths and to find out whether these were engineered to protect some one and to stop this outrageous chapter.
