How to get a 'Padma Bhushan' Award from Government of India?
If you thought the Padma awards were given to people who have had a long and distinguished career and service to the nation, you are mistaken.
All you have to do is facilitate the survival of the Congress led Government in Delhi during a Vote of Confidence by bribing MP's from the opposition.
If you are still in doubt, just ask the NRI Hotelier Sant Singh Chatwal!
He used his influence and his war chest to lure Akali MP's to support the UPA during the Vote of Confidence in the Parliament in 2008. And hey presto! He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in Jan 2010!! Mind you, not just Padma Sri, but Padma Bhushan itself!!!
How demeaning it must be to all the other worthy winners of the Padma Awards to see their life long accomplishments branded with a scum like Sant Singh Chatwal.
