If there is vendetta, why not seek political asylum elsewhere?

In the event it turned out to be more of a whimper than a roar. Mother and son turned up in court yesterday with posse of lawyers and were freed on bail of Rs 50,000 each and someone to stand as surety. Ms Sonia Gandhi is reputed to be worth $2 billion, although no one knows for sure because it is well hidden. Almost on the same day Martin Shkreli, CEO of Turin Pharmaceuticals, had to post a bond of $5 million on a charge of running a Ponzi scheme, so Rs 50,000, which is less than $1000, is a joke for someone worth a fortune. As expected the Congress resorted to insulting the Prime Minister, accusing him of " politics of vendetta ". Politicians are accomplished liars but even by their standards this is pretty pathetic because the case has nothing to do with the government, the Prime Minister or the BJP. It was filed by Mr Subramaniam Swamy in January 2013 when the Congress was in power and Modi was still the Chief Minister of Gujarat and had no way of knowing that he will win in a landslide in May 2014. In fact BJP supporters are astonished and disappointed at how restrained Mr Modi has been, considering the culture of corruption created by the Congress. The Gandhi family is not accustomed to anyone daring to question them so they were naturally furious at this audacity. At first they thought that they would refuse bail, daring the judge to jail them which would bring out millions of people on to the streets in protest and weaken the government. Comparisons were drawn with Mrs Indira Gandhi whose arrest in 1977 brought down the Morarji Desai government. That is probably why Ms Sonia Gandhi defiantly declared," I am the daughter-in-law of Indira Gandhi. I am not scared of anyone. I am not disturbed." It must have donned pretty swiftly on wiser heads in the Congress that Ms Sonia Gandhi is no Indira. Indira Gandhi was Indian, she was the only daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru, while there is another daughter-in-law of Indira Gandhi, named Maneka Gandhi, a minister in Modi's government, and Indira Gandhi won the war of 1971, which created Bangladesh. Also Morarji Desai was a Congressman and had been a minister in Nehru's government, so was seen as a traitor. Modi is no Morarji. The Gandhis can always seek political asylum in another country. The problem is that the Congress needs the Gandhis because without the family all the others will fight each other for power which will fulfill Modi's promise of making India free of the Congress. Their rage is born out of fear because Modi has no interest in collecting wealth, because he has no heirs to leave it to. If he dismantles the entire rotten structure built up over 67 years it will be impossible to build it up again. Hence the hatred.
