Can Indian politics be cured by homeopathy.

Homeopathy depends on the supposition that a poison, that produces the same symptoms that the patient is suffering from, if given in dilution, will cure the patient. In other words, if you use a poison, similar to the one causing the illness, they cancel each other out. Many of our politicians seem to believe in this hypothesis. For instance, Raja Bhaiya was made Minister in charge of prisons in UP by the Samajwadi Party. Now the Law Minister of Delhi, Jitender Singh Tomar has been arrested for using a fake degree in law.  This is being done to tarnish the image of the AAP. This is political harassment," fumed the esteemed minister. " This is illegal and has been done as revenge. We are contemplating our future course of action," thundered the Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia." The Delhi government has been elected to serve the people and has a mandate like no other in the country." He should be thankful. Having won the election with fake promises that they cannot keep this is a nice diversion, fake degree to hide fake promises. For us Indians it is great entertainment. There will be a fake investigation of the alleged fake degree of the allegedly fake minister, followed by a fake court case in which nothing will be proved and the case will be closed after spending billions of taxpayer money. Just as happened in the Augusta-Westland helicopter scam, the Bofors scam, the submarine scam,the Tatra trucks scam, the Barak missile scam, the Denel arms scam, the Taj corridor case and the Mulayam Singh Yadav case. Our valiant investigating officers can never find sufficient evidence to nail the culprits. To make absolutely sure that politicians and their broods are totally safe there are not enough police personnel in India. Large numbers are assigned to protect the very politicians who are never found guilty so the remaining police are made to work extra hours without any relief. When the poor fellows manage to find sufficient evidence to convict murderers they serve their time in ' day out, night in ' prisons where they are allowed to go out to work during the day and have a safe, comfortable cell to sleep in at night. These fellows are in great demand in the marriage market. Wonder if they have air conditioners and televisions for comfort. Manu Sharma, was let out on furlough to get married. Furlough is normally leave given to soldiers, who risk their lives for the nation, and not to scum who kill an innocent woman because she would not give him a drink. Whether Nestle's Maggi noodles contain an excess of MSG and lead remains to be established but when a journalist wrote about it in 2011 she was bullied into silence by Nestle threatening to stop all advertising in the newspaper she worked for. The same arrogance was visible when Nestle CEO insisted that Maggi is safe without any hint of apology. Perhaps we should appoint an expert in adulterating to catch fellows who sell dangerous goods. A crook to catch a crook. Like in homeopathy.
