GRAND CORRUPT ALLIANCE AIMING TO SHIELD THE CORRUPT

 

The recent decision of of the Government of Andhra Pradesh to withdraw General Consent to the CBI for investigating various cases under the central acts is a malafide exercise of its executive power to protect acts of corruption, financial embezzlement and other acts of criminality.

 

The state government has cited recent happenings in the CBI as a lame excuse and a ruse to brazenly save the corrupt and extend political patronage to people and organisations involved in acts of corruption and criminality.

 

That Ms. Mamta Banerjee has wholeheartedly supported such a brazen action to protect the corrupt is not surprising as a new COALITION OF THE CORRUPT PARTIES is taking shape in the country. It is not surprising that Narada-Sharada tainted Trinamool Congress Government sees great relief in blocking any investigations and probes by the CBI.

 

Chandrababu Naidu, the new entrant to the "Club of the Corrupt Parties" seems to be enjoying the company of Lalu Prasad in jail, Rahul-Sonia Gandhi on bail and others being probed for tax evasion, misappropriation and financial embezzlement.

 

Whatever may be the designs of the corrupt alliance, the Central Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will continue to pursue its policy of Zero Tolerance against corruption and will frustrate attempts of the corrupt alliance in shielding the corrupt.

 

Exercise of executive power should be for larger public good. When a new political alliance makes shielding the corrupt its primary political agenda, people will severely punish such self-serving political parties. Crude attempts at blocking investigations may give temporary relief to the corrupt  but the public will hand a resounding defeat to such parties even before courts deliver them punishment.

 

Ahead of election season, attempts at restricting the CBI scrutiny will cost these parties dearly. The BJP will raise this issue in all political platforms to expose the corrupt deeds of the newly minted "Grand Corrupt Alliance" (GCA).
