The Congress party has once again proved that it's commitment to weeding out corruption from it's very root is at best selective and only applicable if the same serves it's self interest and furthers it's one point agenda of clinging onto the reins of power at any cost......
Shedding further light on this contentious matter party spokesperson and general secretary in charge of Delhi Shakeel Ahmed said, "the Congress party had categorically said that we will oppose any legislation that contravenes or goes against the provisions laid down by the centre in it's own version of the Lokpal BIll".........
"We had categorically said this in reply to the letter sent to us by the Aam Aadmi Party listing 18 demands even before we decided to extend unconditional support to it, we had then said that the 16 demands that were purely administrative in nature, but also steadfastly opposed the provisions pertaining to the demand for complete statehood to Delhi and the seemingly draconian Jan Lokpal Bill that the Aam Aadmi Party propagated"...........
"Our opposition to this bill however does not mean that we will pull down this minority government, we will oppose it tooth and nail on this issue as we are of the informed opinion that the draft of the bill passed by the cabinet contains many provisions that are contrarian to the measures laid down by the centre's version of the Lokpal Bill, hence our opposition to the same", he concludes........
One really wonders how Mr. Arvind Kejriwal will now get his "pet" bill passed in a specially convened assembly session at the national capital's Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium as the Bharatiya Janata Party is also bound to oppose the same tooth and nail.........
To compound his miseries, Mr. Kejriwal is also burdened by the sceptre of an internal revolt by the expelled Aam Aadmi party legislator Vinod Kumar Binny and the five other Aam Aadmi Party legislators who are surreptitiously extending their support to him..........
According to Aam Aadmi Party sources the bill could be presented before the assembly within the next week or ten days and there is no question whatsoever of diluting it's allegedly draconian provisions as the party is committed to nipping out corruption from it's very root not co-existing with it as the central government had done..........
Maybe, the legendary magician Houdini or then our very own P.C. Sorcar could lend/teach Messrs Arvind Kejriwal and company a trick or two about turning a hostile tide in their favour.........
