As You Remain Silent Rahul!

The range of questions is expanding

And the murmurs are turning into clamours

The central hall echoed with the thundering claps when you spoke about Kalavati

And indeed, Kalavati received her alms too…

But, as the great powers of Delhi kept a watch

An unimaginable amount of money of the likes of Kalavati got looted – just in a game
And you remained silent as usual Rahul…

Perhaps purposefully so!

Do we label it as your inexperience or do we call it your intent (?)

Please do not ask us to believe,

That this was all about bureaucratic mess,

Or that you were just unaware!

In the telecom corruption saga,

Alas, we had no choice but to stand and watch helplessly from a distance,

Our very own money was being looted as your ministers kept a watch,

Now insisting on an endless enquiry, the government is teaching us patience immense.

Just do not tell us

This is all about Manmohan ji dear

The reins in the hands of  Sonia ji are strong enough to control all known to be the powers of the day

We know all this and much more, even though, we are just Kalavati and Natthulal in the fray.

The range of questions is expanding

And the clamours are turning into slogans

Under the foundation of the Kargil building, you lost the probity to be there at the helms in Delhi

But you remain silent as usual Rahul!

The merciless whipping by the inflationary policies has left the tongues of the masses numb

And lo behold! You walk into the scene with a ‘tasla’ to move some mud, as if attempting a cruel joke

We would have had some respite if the pulses were a bit cheaper and if we could afford a bit of onion...

We could have carried our 'tasla' happily on our own and you would have been spared the glare of the cameras.

The range of questions is expanding

And the slogans are leading to mass movements…

The Corrupt Politics of Common Wealth Games - Delhi 2010

Finally common Indian citizen has been spared the ignominy of a possibility of failed Common Wealth Games... the games got over and the medals tally was good enough, rather excellent, as compared to all our past performances. Imagine the situation, the Indians across the globe kept feeling the gloomy scenarios for so many weeks!

Ah, who invited this trouble in the first place! That must be quite a botheration for many.

The other day Sheila Dikshit, the honourable chief minister of Delhi was heard on a TV show stating something to the effect that so far as the work got over and the games could start, how did it matter whether the work got over early or just in time...! Imagine the sense of responsibility from our famous politician. She was presumably the most accountable person in Delhi to ensure that the games could be planned and played well keeping the pride of Delhi intact. And now that the games are over she is putting the onus of responsibility on Kalmadi.

Then there is the Congress President Mrs. Sonia Gandhi who is discreetly keeping from Suresh Kalmadi. Rahul Gandhi, the young Congress MP could also be seen interacting with the players and officers recently while Kalmadi was missing from the scene.

So, who is Suresh Kalmadi and how come everybody is being made to believe that he is the only one responsible.

First of all, Suresh Kalmadi is a member of parliament (Lok Sabha) belonging to none other but the Congress of Mrs. Sonia Gandhi. He has been associated with Congress in various capacities since as early as 1978 when he was president of Maharashtra Pradesh Youth Congress. He has been an active politician and currently is a sitting MP from Pune in Maharashtra. He is well known and could not be someone who could be operating in the dark alleys of politics without being seen by the watchful eyes of Congress supremo. In fact no one from Congress could lead such important gaming events and could hold such critical prtfolios without being in the good books of Congress supremo.

It is impossible for Kalmadi and his associates being the only ones responsible for the corrupt and inefficient handling of the preparations for the Common Wealth Games. He is only the scapegoat. The entire episode of singling out Kalmadi and his associates is meant to hide the bigger players behind the dust and smoke.
