NDA's prime ministerial candidate Advani wants to fight corruption and wants to bring back Indian black money lying in swiss bank accounts. The decisive leader made a press statement in this regard with lot of fanfare. When asked about the action plan, he replied that a taskforce was being appointed by BJP to look into all issues. Well and good. Everyone thought that the decisive leader to fight corruption has at last arrived on Indian political stage. It made all those having illegal money in swiss bank accounts restive. For their comfort an SMS is doing rounds. It goes like:
“Nishikant Dube is the Lok Sabha candidate from Godda (jharkhand), Sudhanshu Mittal made in-charge of north-east, Neera Yadav joins BJP to garner votes in Ghaziabad, and L K Advani fights against black money and corruption. Bhay Ho, BJP se Bhay Ho!’’
There is more to this SMS campaign. Last Decemeber, 2.6 crore rupees went missing from BJP's HQs. BJP was pushed into a peculiar dilemma.
The amount was taken, clean as a whistle, from a "tijori" (safe) in a small room to the back of the party headquarters, not far from BJP president Rajnath Singh's office. The theft came to light on Friday, when the office reopened after Christmas holiday, causing consternation in BJP circles. The money was deposited on December 24 and apparently stolen on December 25, when the office was closed. The premises, however, have a fairly large resident population of staffers and party office bearers who live in the office building and the next bungalow — 9, Ashoka Road. As a red-faced BJP brass mulled what had happened, it found itself wrestling with a peculiar dilemma — the money had possibly been collected for elections and was not accounted for and hence the police could not be called in. After consultations, the party called in a private detective agency to investigate into the theft.http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Rs26cr_goes_missing_from_BJP_office/articleshow/3911144.cms
Even BJP's presidential candidate, Bhairon Singh Shekhawat made a public call asking BJP to come clean on the issue. The following SMS was doing rounds then
"Na Taala Toota na tijori, Phirbhi BJP Mukhyalaya se dhai karod chori"
Coming back to Advani, his stand on corruption confuses many minds. He draws a fine line between being dishonest and being stupid. When 6 MPs of his party along with four others were disqualified from the parliament on cash for question scam, he walked out in protest terming the action disproportionate!
"What we are subjecting them to is capital punishment in parliamentary parlance. They were being stupid. But the punishment is not commensurate with their crime"
Bhay Ho!Advani se Bhay ho!!
