Upset over denial of tickets to his children, Congress veteran Arjun Singh on Monday hit out at his party by saying that he was "shocked" at the treatment being meted out for his "loyalty". "Honour and humiliation have ceased to be concepts in Congress party," Singh said when asked whether he was being humiliated by the party. (Mr.Singh, Honour has ceased to be something Congress party was associated with way back in 1947, as if you dont know. A guy like you who swindled millions of rupees through the infamous Churhat lottery case in 1980's would have been kicked out of Congress and convicted if the Party had an iota of honour. You have survived all these years and prospered because of lack of these very same quality in the party. So why crib?)
Singh had said he cannot say he was not unhappy over the denial of party tickets for the Lok Sabha polls to his daughter Veena Singh from Sidhi and son Ajeya Singh from Satna. When asked whether he felt slighted by Congress, the Union minister said he did not feel slighted but shocked. "I am shocked by what is in store for loyalty," he said. (Do you remember walking out of Congress, then returning with tail tucked between your legs and enjoyed being Governon and Cabinet minister? If Congress had stuck to the loyalty clause, you will be playing with great grand children in your palatial house. Well, you are not fit even for that)
In response Congress today dismissed senior leader Arjun Singh's charge that the party had not accorded proper treatment to him for his loyalty, saying working for the party is a "reward in itself" (So true, so true. Only thing is that if you 'work' for Congress Party, the 'Reward' will be through a few million dollars stashed in Swiss Banks in your name)
"The philosophy of the party has its own rewards. I believe (that) working for the party and believing in its philosophy and principles has its own rewards," Congress spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan told reporters (This has even me fully baffled. 'Philosophy' and 'Principles' of Congress party? That must be the biggest joke of our times. Other than licking Sonias, Rahuls and Priyankas a**es, pray tell me what is the philosophy and principle of Congress party)
(Anyway, Arjun Singh doesnt deserve anything. The guy is a crook and the worst education minister India has seen. During the last five years, he tried to stiffle the IITs and IIMs, prevented world class universities from coming to India, didnt do a damn thing to improve education at any levels in India, played mischief with textbooks and reservations, consistently took potshots at his own PM and Government and thus in short was an unmitigated disaster. If Congress has any sense of honour and principles, then it should call him and give him the boot)
