It's shame and embarrassing to know, when on one side the whole world trying hardly to find out the secret behind the enormous economic growth in India, the other side how the so called political leaders tied up with business tycoons in corruption.
The issue is how a minister allied with the party sold cellphone operators the airwaves to provide their service in 2008. But the amounts involved, and subsequent revelations of how some of India’s richest men sought to exercise influence over political appointments and regulatory decisions, have surprised a nation seemingly inured to reports of corruption in politics.In one of the largest democratic country, anyone has their own right to do anything and to hide anything, I guess. No one is there to question who did or how did it because the people involved in this have links to the ruling party directly or indirectly, and billions of dollars involved.
For the Congress Party, the scandal has even tarnished Mr. Singh, considered the most upright and squeaky clean politician in India. He has not been linked to any wrongdoing, but his image as a capable administrator has been damaged as more allegations emerge about members of his cabinet.India is the world’s second-largest cellphone market, with nearly 700 million subscribers, so you can imagine how much money we are talking about , a rough estimate says around $40 billion dollars involved in the scam....
The telecom minister, Andimuthu Raja, has already resigned. On Monday, the focus expanded to India’s minister of highways, Kamal Nath , and who knows what we going to hear in the near future....who involved and how much involved....
