Dear PM,
2G scam is the mother of all scams. Apparently Raja over ruled everyone who came in the way. PMO gave clear instruction to him to go for the auction and as expected he didn’t bother to listen to PM. Yesterday there is a new twist in the scam. It is revealed that Raja's predecessor Maran demanded to keep telecom pricing out of GoM and you conceded to that demand to save your PM's chair. It is now established beyond reasonable doubt that you are weak prime minister. People respect you but they don't listen to you. Your integrity is in question.
Supreme Court rapped you on the knuckle for your too long inaction. DoT refuted all charges in the CAG report. Congress spokespersons are desperate to deflect the issue by dragging BJP which is as corrupt as any other political parties or challenging the amount of loss in the CAG report or hiding behind ‘the matter is subjudice’ / ‘Coalition Dharma’. Other day Manish Tewari repeatedly requested Arnab Goswami of Times Now to count the word ‘presumptuous’ in CAG report as if no scam has happened (It is a punishment to be a spokesperson of a political party nowadays. Because party will ask you to defend indefensible). Under extreme media pressure you finally forced Raja to resign.
The most painful part of the whole drama is your irritating silence. As a PM we expect you to lead the country from front like Sourav Ganguly. Instead you decided to withdraw yourself from the controversy and went into delegation mode. You are still an honest man. But what’s the point of being honest if you cannot take action against corrupt people as pointed out by Suheel Seth. I don’t understand whose interest you are trying to protect by your silence? Is it congress or Gandhi family or both?
Let’s do some root cause analysis why we are hit by scam after scam.
• Our investigating agencies are crippled by political influence both at state and central level regardless of parties.
• Our top politicians are either corrupt or protect corrupt people to save their leadership. They are not able to set a good example to young politicians. Advani, Vajpayee, Sonia Gandhi, Jaylalita, Karunanidhi, Jyoti Basu, Prakash Karat, Manmohan Singh and many others all belong to either of these categories or both.
• Election reform is overdue. It is not very difficult to devise a reasonably effective system to block corrupt people from entering into parliament/assembly
• Judiciary system is extremely slow and corrupt people take full advantage of that.
• As politicians are corrupt so are police and civil servants.
It takes one honest and courageous prime minister to change the system. Unfortunately you are not the man we are looking for. Raja’s resignation does not mean anything. Huge amount of money has just vanished. Can you recover that money? Can you prosecute Raja and his associates no matter how powerful they are? Can you cancel the licenses of 2G spectrum and re-auction it?
Can you say 'Yes I can' eliminate corruption from our country? If not, I will urge you to resign from the post of prime minister, you still can be finance minister, if you want.
