Is it possible that human beings can sink below the level of the cesspit? Yes, Indians have already reached that level. One retired Lt. General S. K. Sahni will be facing court martial for procuring poor quality rations for troops serving at high altitudes in Jammu and Kashmir. These are troops facing treacherous Pakistanis across a hostile border. The ministry of defence bought six helicopters from the US Navy for over Rs. 1.82 billion. These had been manufactured between 1961 and 1965 and decommissioned in 2005. Naturally they were totally defective and spare parts are not available so one chopper has already been cannibalized to supply parts to repair others. Then there is the mother of all scams, the Commonwealth Games. Originally thought to be held for Rs. 70 billion they are now going to cost over Rs. 350 billion and counting. Everyday brings a new revelation of blatant theft. Roads and pavements have been dug up and laid several times and are still uneven. Perfectly good lampposts were removed and replaced with ones leaning to one side. Stadiums are leaking and wire are left exposed. Playing areas are poorly surfaced. Treadmills are being rented for 1000 times the going rate. Tennis court surfacing is being done by an Australian firm employing the son of one of the officials who has resigned today. Mr. Kalmadi is constituting a panel to investigate the charges which is like asking robbers to investigate thieves. Delhi has a state government and the central government. What were the politicians doing? Without doubt taking a large chunk of the pie. Will they be hanged? What a joke! Both have Congress gangs in power and the Congress is the most successful syndicate in the world.
