Like all roads lead to Rome, all scams in India lead to ??????

The scam of Nirav Modi resulting in looting several thousand crore Indian rupee mainly from Punjab National Bank and the subsequent revelations of the whistleblower alerting the then UPA government about the fraudulent activity clearly indicates the role of someone in the then UPA regime in the above scam. Otherwise, the UPA would have done something to stop the loot. Definitely, a blue whale or killer shark like the stature of a person in UPA only would have pulled the string from behind the scene.

The trail of all the scams in the last 10 years (before NDA government under Modiji) clearly goes to the den of UPA 1 and 2. Although some scams could not be properly investigated and could not punish the culprits mostly due to weak evidence presented in the court by the investigating agencies possibly due to all such investigations were also initiated by the UPA regime where the distortion of facts might have happened purposefully to defeat the investigation.

Although many Indian electorates are angry with Modiji for his inaction against the agenda of some Hindu patriots attempting to pollute our higher education and the effort of the government to harm the health delivery system by legalizing cross pathy by AYUSH vaidyas, all those people have not shifted their support to Congress. Such possibility is quite unlikely primarily due to its great dynastic leader who has shown least political maturity or respectable leadership quality. Further, the tone and language of the Congress spokesperson defaming Modiji, the most respected and honest Prime Minister of India by referring the scamsters Nirav as ‘Chotta Modi’. This derogatory language of Congress, the people of India will never forgive and forget.

The need of the day is not blamed game but recovery of the looted money. The attempts of Congress to link the PNB scam with BJP looks not only silly but funny as well. More than using the above opportunity to settle a political score, people see Congress to be restlessness, nervousness and it fears losing its identity due to the recent scam and may be due to its link. Such nervousness of Congress is quite obvious and vividly, therefore, it looks like it wants to hide something, wants to divert the attention and wants to overstate its attack of BJP and Modiji.

The personal integrity of Modiji, no one in India would ever suspect or question but on the contrary, no one would easily accept or admit the dynast as their leader. It would be like a glow worm tries to outshine the sun.

If BJP or Modiji were ever involved in the scam, then the scam itself would not have surfaced now. The people of India has enough common sense to understand such distinction. Therefore the Congress attempting to showcase the photograph of Modiji along with Nirav have been made to lick own boot by Sheshad Poonawala by exposing how the dynast has attended the dinner of Nirav very recently.

Modiji was on a global business meet and Nirav was one of the participants. But the dinner meet was something different and it indicates the personal relationship between the two. But without verifying the facts and doing proper homework, Congress has levelled allegations against Modiji by thinking that people of India would believe the cock and bull story of Congress.

People of India, especially the youths are unhappy with Modiji only with reference to the intent of the Government to infect our educational system with Hindutwa agenda and harming our health care delivery system by legalizing cross pathy by AYUSH vaidyas.

The need of the hour is the punishment of the culprits in the bank scam.

Before 2019, all those looters and those who catalyzed such loots by misusing their power and position must be put behind the bars. If Modiji acts quickly by putting all those culprits who are otherwise politically big fishes, certainly people will see Modiji is truly a leader of the action and not rhetoric. More than the recovery of the money, people want the corrupt politicians to be punished like Afzal Guru and Ajmal Kasab. People are angry and violent internally and are biting their fate helplessly.

People are violet not at the loss of money from the Exchequer why no one is getting punished in spite of the fact that s someone has facilitated all such scams. Along with politicians, those bureaucrats who are involved in such scams also need to be punished.

2019 election is done a deal for Modiji if all those corrupt politicians and bureaucrats are quickly brought to book and put behind bars.

Modiji has done nothing to middle-class voters who stood with him; at least, punish all those corrupt politicians and babus who looted our country. Let this be the thanksgiving gesture of Modiji to people of India who elected him.
