One is almost certain that Congress is allowing its alliance partners to indulge in unlimited corruption as a leverage to sustain its government, in the Centre and in the States.
The Congress strategy is simple. Allow Alliance partners to hold plum portfolios like Railways, Food, Airlines, Telecom, Highways etc where there is tremendous potential to indulge in massive corruption. While the Ministers are looting their Ministries, the 'honest' PM condones the action by being a silent spectator, irrespective of the fact that, as per Indian constitution the Cabinet has collective responsibility, and the individual ministers basically put up the proposal to the cabinet, and implements the Cabinet decision. So there is no way Raja could have taken a decision on allocation of 2G spectrum without the knowledge of all, including the Cabinet and the Prime Minister. Being 'led' by a nominated weak Prime Minister, who cannot even say 'boo' to his personal assistant, let alone a minister, the Ministers run riot.
The fun starts when the media, most of whom are in the payroll of Congress (Is there any logical reason why Times of India, which bends over backwards to please Congress and the Sonia, should embarass them by running a relentless campaign against Raja and DMK?), are encouraged to leak selective documents exposing the alliance partner. Then ,after much noise has been made, a deal is struck with the alliance partner and the threat of a CBI (Congress Bureau of Investigation these days) enquiry is used to get the best possible deal for the Congress in the seat allocation to the oncoming elections. For example, it is an open secret the Congress has manipulated the CBI cases to keep Mayavati, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Laloo Prasad Yadav et al to support the government at various stages. It is also clear as a daylight that Congress used the telecom scandal to strike a deal with Karunanidhi in the Assembly elections due in Tamil Nadu in 2012.
The strategy is to give a long rope, and praying to the God that the Allies will hang themselves.
What a fall for a Party that was built on honesty, ethics and moral values by Mahatma Gandhi, Tilak, Bose......
