Cash for Vote Scandal in Parliament
Ultimately
Truth Revealed
The UPA-I govt. almost spend 2000 million rupees in managing the required numbers of members and protecting their govt. it was a well planned move of political corruption which was much more bigger than Jharkhand bribery scandal.
It was ten days long market where numbers of political worker, political brokers and even some political journo were wandering around Raisina hills and trying to manage and bargain those parliamentarians who were finding themselves some bit vulnerable because of delimitation of their Loksabha constituencies. They all were thinking if they manage even a single MP in favor of UPA, their political managers will give them 10 crores rupees, the amount which they will never earn in their whole life. Same way MPs were of the view, they can not get such hefty offer of 50 crores in their life. These MP get about 10 crores under MPLAD scheme in their 5 year terms, if they take 25 percent commission, they will earn maximum 2.5 crore in whole term. If a broker takes 10 crore, they will be getting 40 crore which can easily manage the expenses of more than 10 elections.
This was such a big show of political corruption in the country and the whole countrymen were just watching it. Where was the great watchdog of democracy, the media? One organization claimed that it can not remain observer of these things anymore, so we will sting it.
But ultimately what happened we all know, on 25th of July the money power almost seized the political power of this country. The whole sting operation was proved to be worthless. It seemed as if that media organization was working on deputation on behalf of Loksabha speaker, so it handed over the whole sting material to him. The question is, this was the same speaker who had ruled those 11 MPs who were trapped in the plot made by the cobra post dot com and despite the Supreme Court's order in their favor, this speaker had expelled all those MPs form Loksabha. On contrast to that this was the sting operation of real events, despite of this; only a committee was framed to look into these affairs. Now 3 years have passed away , that committee prooved futile. but ultimately wikileaks exposed that scandal.
Leakages of Wikileaks made a great help for who fights to the cause of public rights in the whole world. It exposed the reality hidden in the secrecy of the many governments of world. After US, it unfolded the coffin of vote for cash scam which occured in the Indian paliament in year 2008.
Very surprisingly at that time even no any political party took this issue on a serious note. Perhaps they think if they were in power, they may have also done this. Many expressed wavering of bundles of notes in the Loksabha have made their head down. The question is until the whole episode was behind the curtain then there was no any shame kind of thing, the moment it was revealed before the public through the TV channels, it made many people's head down. What is the meaning of it? I think all 3 MPs who showed the bundles of note in the parliament, in a way they served the nation a lot. At least people of India were able to know what happens in the corridor of Indian politics. Even a fraction of these things comes before public, people can made up their mind that MPs might have not shown these bundles if they have been paid 50 crores or more. In India everyday numbers of scandal are happening, but it does n't become scandal, because it does not have any proof so that it does not come under the scanner of either media or judiciary. Many things are not talked about because it does not have proof.
Now we come to that central point to all these things, the nuclear deal, in the 2 day long sitting of house, members expressed their chants in favor of this deal, some termed it blockade of our freedom, but in true sense both these issue have nothing to do with the concern of common public, the way thing were being managed, that became the main issue, that was the revealing of political corruption. At time ruling party thought that after a period of six months general election is due and main opposition party is not willing to form govt. Despite withdrawal of support by the left parties, on the one side it was the UPA who was ready to spent billions of rupees for protecting their govt., on the other side it was Ms. Mayavati who with the support of left parties also had opened her treasury to purchase the MPs to form the new govt at centre even for a period of six months time.
UPA could have easily protect their govt., but what it did ? It was her great defeat in her so called win because it was the greatest exhibition of political bribery in the country. Govt. survived technically but morally it displayed the worst kind of thing in the political history of India. It was the height of political corruption when one MP was given fifty crore,. knowing this fact that Jharkhand bribery scandal had already busted in this country when Narsimha Rao govt. was formed with the help of some purchased MPs.
If institution like CBI and CVC were not in the control of ruling party, these events would have been come to the forefront.Whenever one becomes prime minister of this country, he regards corruption as big blockade in the way of country's development, gives many ideal speeches on it, but in the course of time he also becomes integeral part of this system. Not only that later on, he becomes great advocates of this very system. Perhaps Man Mohan Singh is also one of this kind of Primeminister. Now he is saying his government did not bribe any MP which was already endorsed by the mandate which his party got in thereafter elections.
A great thanks to the wikileaks. Now, it is amply proved that politics in India has become a big business. It is legally allowed to spent 40 lakh in a Loksabha election, if you desire more, you can even spent 4 crore and then you can make 40 crore by misusing this position. On the other side it was also proved that formation of govt. is the biggest business in this country. That is why if the formation of a government require a billion rupee, many come to finance it, because these all money gets returned back in less than six months period, so The UPA government did it for the sake of protecting its govt. and on the other side Ms. Mayavati was also ready to spend billions of rupees for purchasing MPs in order to becoming Prime minister of this country for merely six months.
The conclusion is that the whole structure of system has knitted in such a way, where we are not in position to pinpoint anyone particularly for the corruption. But surely we have to start cleansing this corruption from some point. It requires great willpower. The same will power what we have been seeing in our polio eradication campaign, what we have witnessed in the implementation of our new economic policy, which enabled the economy to become more competitive and consumer friendly, the policy which brought the Indian telecom market to open in a big way and it was mobile which reached door to door of even rural areas of country. So far corruption is concerned, it is much bigger issue, and it has to start from some point.There is nothing better than the parliament, the prime center of the power for starting any crusade against corruption. But ironically what we saw how the parliamentarians were bought and sold during the vote of confidence. n

RAJ ARTHA
The whole country is almost burning in a galloping price-rise situation. This is a statement neither made by the political parties nor the mass media. In fact this is the real ooh aah ouch of 110 crore population of the country. In fact there have been numbers of price rise situation erupted in the country but this is perhaps the first time when the pocket rich middle class, (the class which have become more affluent after the arrival of new economy policy) have been heated hard by the present price-rise situation, as reported by our electronic media. SO one could easily imagine the condition of that two-third population of the country who is poor, leaves either in remote rural areas or in the city slums and belongs to lower income group or a daily wage earner. In these circumstances, this major chunk of population is left with inadequate and insufficient income for its survival.
We have been witnessed of many situations when massive spurt in the prices of one, two or three commodities like onion, potato, mustard oil or sugar have almost changed the government both at the centre and state level. But now, there is not a one or two or three commodities which are burning in the flame of price rise, almost every daily uses items are witnessing tremendous upheavals in their prices. And these prices are increasing day by day, whether it is Atta(flour), pulses ,rice ,potato ,onion, almost all green vegetables, sugar, tea leaf, turmeric and many more. These items’ prices have been grown by 50 percent to even by 500 percent. The most amazing thing is that this unprecedented galloping price-rise have made the ruling Congress party rather more secure, stable and on a winning note. The result of the last three assembly election clearly approves this perception.
The second most amazing things what we get that despite the mammoth price-rise situation, the rate of inflation is still stagnant and is reeling under 5 percent. Perhaps this is the reason that government of India in general and finance minister in particular is not over worried about this situation. The version of two important dignitaries of this UPA government , Sharad Pawar , the union agriculture & consumer affairs minister and M S Ahluwalia (Deputy chairman, planning commission) both had given their statement in the recently held economic editor conference at New Delhi .Sharad Pawar said ,there is no immediate hope of falling down of prices until the Rabi crops come. He openly said that the government can not resist this present price rise situation. Now we come to the second statement which was made by MS Ahluwallia he says why middle class is worried about the price rise. Are they not happy to delegate some part of there income to the farming community. He was meant that this price rise has enabled the farming community’s income to grow further.
When we analyze the statements of the both the ministers, we find that both are far-far away from the actual facts and ground reality of the country .One thing is absolutely clear that while talking about the price rises, both statements were centered around the agriculture and agriculturist (farmers).Sharad Pawar wanted to say, that the supply of the agricultural commodities is not sufficient enough to meet out the demand of the country. So we are waiting the next crop to come. Meanwhile we have to depend on costlier imports.
Not to mention here that the price is always determined by the demand and supply forces of the concerned items. Firstly we should know that our country is quite capable to produce each an every agriculture commodity. Secondly it is not only self reliant rather it is a surplus producer on many counts whether it is wheat, rice, sugar, tea, potato, onion etc. We do not have petroleum kind of situation on the front of agriculture. It is true we can not produce fuel as per our needs but we can produce the food items even beyond our needs. It means on the petroleum front we are not a surplus state like the gulf countries and on the food front we are not a deficient state like the European countries. That is why we import about two-third of our petroleum needs from the foreign countries. In the same way European countries import about fifty percent of their foods needs. Now a question arises why the country is presently facing supply deficit of almost all agricultural commodities viz. wheat, rice, pulses, oilseeds, milk, potato, onion, tea, sugar. Out of these items, India has been the largest producer of milk &sugar in the world. Under these circumstances what we see that the supply mechanism of most of the agricultural commodities have been badly hampered by its pricing policies .The pricing policy of government of India which is generally reflected by the MSP( minimum support price) ,procurement price , PDS price and open market operations, these all mechanisms have been totally failed. These pricing systems have made the different produces of farmers under-priced and thus made their life miserable. For the last 60 years in India, the farming communities have never got a reasonable return on their input costs and labor employed. It never gives stimulus to produce more and more so that regular and timely supply of the different foods items can be ensured in the market. In spite of tall claims made by the government that she has been very friendly to the farmers in terms of providing input facilities like seed, fertilizer, loan, irrigation network )technical know how etc. These all measures have been managed very badly and have been crippled with corruptions. There has been complete misuse of this money allocated in the name of input subsidy. It has nothing to do with the lot of farmers. Factor like providing better remunerative prices to the farmers, has been always negligent. The agriculture cost and price commission have never measured accurately the input cost of cultivation. It resulted in huge deterrence to the farming community of the country. Generally govt. says, it doesn’t want to make agriculture as an industry because agriculturist will have to pay taxes as industry does. But the fact is that despite paying number of taxes persons involved in industry and organized services are becoming richer day by day, whenever persons involved in agriculture, even without paying taxes becoming poorer and poorer. So only one option is left that is providing better prices to the farmer, not only for the raising their income, but also for maintaining the regular and adequate supply chain of the agricultural items. Though it requires many other things also like ensuring storage facilities, better farmer- trader link and strict implementation of MSP during the harvesting season. So the post harvest management becomes very crucial in this regard. There should be always a minimum and maximum price cap for all the agricultural produces. If the rising prices of agricultural commodities are a problem, the steep falling down prices of the agriculture commodities is not the lesser one. Rather it is a bigger problem which is mainly attributed to the present crisis of supply management. The irony is that wheat is sold at Rs. 7-8 per kg during the harvesting season, is now being sold at Rs. 16 per kg. The potato one time was sold at Rs 2 per kg is now Rs. 20 per kg. The onion which was one time sold at Rs10 per quintal is now being sold at Rs. 2000 per quintal. Now the million dollar question is per kg wheat at Rs. 7-8, per kg potato at Rs. 2. Can it meet the cost of farmers? No never. This is the reason, if a farmer gets the prices of his produces under priced in one crop season whether due to non implementation of MSP or due to non- availability of procurement agencies, he does not get impetus to make cultivation for the next crop season, ultimately resulted in lesser supply.
So Mr. M S Ahluwalia is totally wrong when he says that the present price rise is benefiting the farmers. Actually it is benefiting the traders, hoarders. Farmers are made for the distress; traders are made for the prosperity. If farmers get their due prices they will always get incentives to produce more and more and thus the consumers will be left with adequate supply of food supply, resulting in stabled prices. MS Ahluwalia must know this that 95 percent of the farmers have no any surplus food grain particularly during the off season. Neither they have storage facilities, nor they have alternative source of income so that they are not in a situation to preserve their produces for more than two months after the harvesting time. So the price incentive is a key to the several agricultural problems. If govt. wants to avail permanent demand- supply equilibrium, it should fix the maximum gap of 50 percent between the prices at what farmers sold their produces and the prices which the consumer is purchasing at. But before this, govt. should strictly ensure a reasonable and cost plus prices mechanism, for all their agricultural produces which the farmer produce and also make an environment ,so that prices can’t falling down further. Off- course, there may be some exception of this situation. In condition like war, drought, floods, strikes, price increases up not just because of the supply- restraints.
Our farmers have to be always given handsome prices for their commodities like wheat, rice, sugarcane, oilseed, pulses, potato, onion, milk, and fruits etc. The both under pricing and over priced selling of these items must be made a criminal offence.
Apart from the agricultural items the whole term of UPA has been badly renowned for the price- rise of many items starting from steel to cement, from petroleum products to gold. The stock market, the money market, the bullion market, the real estate market, these all have been on a very high note during this tenure. This govt. had patronized the boom kind of situation in the economy, so it always had a double digit rate of inflation. Now for last one year the global recession has made the country’s economy on a down slide note, resulted in lower rate of inflation but very surprisingly the prices of essential commodity are increasing skyrocketing high ,but who will care it ? We are a democracy and perhaps public has mandated this price rise considering this facts that this is a non treated disease.
