                   CHIDAMBARAM'S  SILENCE  ON CORRUPTION RIDDEN  GOVERNANCE

 Replying to the debate in parliament on  27^th August , P.Chidambaram   blamed  several external factors   as well as the judiciary's  "interference"  for the country's  economic mess  , as if  he has no  responsibility .   He  made  empty promises  like curtailing current account deficit,  boosting manufacturing sector  etc.  without really explaining  why he has not done this all these years and how he would do it now which  the UPA  has not done during its governance.

The real grim fact which he conveniently ignored  is the widespread corruption in the governance by UPA government, resulting in siphoning of thousands of crores of rupees  by unscrupulous ministers ,  politicians  and bureaucrats and associated business men , which resulted in coal scam , 2G scam, Commonwealth scam  etc. etc. Money meant for development  projects  are now largely in the pockets of unscrupulous people forming part of this government  and Finance Minister has nothing to say about this as this will amount to blaming himself.

He   indulged in empty  rhetoric  asking  why should we import  coal . The country  is forced to import coal because of the coal scam of the government.   Are we not paying a huge price  for the corruption  ridden  governance led by Manmohan Singh ?
