In a particularly disgusting case, 3 BJP ministers have been made to hand in their resignations after they were caught watching porn in the Karnataka assembly. One of them was the Minister for Child Development. It seems like anybody can get into the BJP nowadays, as the so-called opposition party has largely lost its way. It's as if they've allowed themselves to be purchased and are simply play-acting at being an opposition. They no longer even have any drive or direction.
Update: Now one of the dismissed creeps and his minions have ordered a blackout to block people in his district from receiving news of his transgressions. What a pack of worthless sand-n*ggers. What kind of crap is this?

CAG Publishes Report On Devas Wrongdoing
The Comptroller-Auditor-General's office has come out with its report on the wrongdoing in the Devas-Antrix deal. I have to admit, Nair's conduct looks less than stellar. At minimum, Nair appears to have committed a lot of negligence. Maybe that's an occupational hazard for high-flying self-absorbed scientists. Nair himself is now admitting to lapses. I'm really hoping he didn't pocket money from this deal. But it's hard to believe that politicians weren't involved in the wrongdoing, especially since the Indian system always spares politicians from indictment.

Devas the Next Enron Dhabol?
The cancellation of the Antrix deal with Devas is then unravelling not just the credibility of the Manmohan Singh govt, but exposing the web of cronyist relationships that extend worldwide.
We can perhaps remember back to the cancellation of another backroom deal around the Dhabol power project, involving a then lesser-known corporation called Enron. The snapping of the Dhabol deal soon triggered a massive domino effect that led to the collapse of the Enron energy empire and the fragile house of cards it was built upon. If Afghanistan is the historic graveyard of ambitious international imperialist adventures, then perhaps India is proving to be a similar burial ground for transnational crony capitalist schemers.
This time, instead of Bush, Cheney, Baker, et al, we have the likes of Madeleine Albright and her buddy Sandy Burglar - excuse me, Berger. This time the Atlanticist clan have to come drink deeply at the Indian watering hole. After trying to marginalize India on the nuclear and diplomatic front, they have the gall to try to profit off it. It'll be nice to see their tribe get a kick in the teeth for a change.
With the precedent of Enron in mind, could somebody recommend me a stock to short because of l'affaire Devas?
The host of the newslaxative program asks whether the opposition shouldn't be tarnished for performing its proper role as an opposition in highlighting the govt's impropriety, because then somehow it means the opposition has pushed the govt into an abrupt cancellation.
Sorry, but the role of an opposition is to draw attention to the wrongdoing by the govt, and not to shut up about it. With the Dalal Media all being corporate cronies, it's no surprise that the newslaxative program host is pushing that angle.
