Baba Ramdev keeps saying that he does not want to politicise his “fast unto death” campaign to eradicate corruption. He suggests that his is a special movement but not a political movement. Why is he so averse to being political? I hate politicians not because they are politicians but because most of them do not work for the good of the people of this country who are the real owners. Now if Baba was elected and he takes actions honestly and for the good of the people of this country, I will not hate him. I will vote for him.
I have not heard anybody say that please do not support Baba Ramdev’s fast. I think in the current scenario it would be foolish to say so. However, let me be the first one to say, “Support Baba Ramdev in his cause but not his “fast unto death” method. Ask Baba Ramdev to fight elections and tell him that all of you will support him to win so that he can implement whatever action plan he chooses but please do not support his “fast unto death.”
It seems that we have found a new management method to manage the affairs of our country, that is, “fast into death” to get what you want. So, if any citizen of the country who has some following like yoga gurus, film stars, cricketers and so on have an idea that they feel the government should implement, all they have to do is go on “fast unto death” to force the government to do what he wants. And the worst part is that the government is willing to do so.
Today, early in the morning I received an email from Jago party declaring their support for the People’s Law of Corruption. Even the government is thinking of establishing newer laws. Is this what is required? Is this the solution to the problem of corruption plaguing our country?
I am afraid that people do not understand waht is the root cause of corruption. Obviously, since people do not know the root cause of the problem, the remedies that they propose to eradicate corruption are ineffective.

Now it seems that there seems to illegality involved in the telecom licenses issued previously. A single man committee appointed by Kapil Sibal has suggested that there irregularities involved while issuing licences right from the start. Where is this country going? It seems that we are obsessed with illegality. There was no need to involve any kind of illegality while issuing telecom licences but we did.
Governor Bhardwaj of Karnataka has stated that he has given sanctioned prosecution of BSY because, ” . . . there are documented acts of corruptions which have cost the state nearly Rs. 500 crores.”
I would like to thank our PM Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi and Karunanidhi for being so gracious as to allow for the arrest of former telecom minister A Raja. I think the citizens of this country will remain forever grateful for doing what they did. They listened to the voice of their praja.
Yesterday, I had posted a blog on the same subject and estimated a conservative loss of Rs. 1 lakh crores from 3 recent scams. I intend keep totaling the loss to show you what an astronomical problem we have at hand.
You know I keep hearing that we are a poor country and that we do not have resources. The government does not funds to build power plants, roads, airports and other infrastructure. I on the other hand believe that India is one of the richest countries. No I am not crazy. Also, I am writing this blog early in the morning so you can’t blame it on the one drink I have in the evening. Just look at the following numbers and do let me know if we are poor:
