Can people compare scams like Electoral Bonds vs 2g scam?
Current scams came to light only after SC’s intervention. Currently all our media houses are busy bootlicking and not doing any investigative work.
Also consider the fact that most corrupt politicians have moved to BJP in past few years. It’s safe to say BJP is the party with most corrupt politicians.
Correct. But doesn't mean that once Congress comes to power it won't be as corrupt
100% right, as a citizen keep pressure on party in power.
Serious question as I want to understand this - how is Electoral Bond a scam?
Today we know who funded which party and how much because of Electoral Bonds. True, SC made that data public, but that data existed in the first place due to electoral bonds. Earlier this info was not available - no body knew which party is getting funds from which source. So how is that a scam?
If by scam you mean to say that BJP got the most donations, I don’t think the act of getting donations qualifies for a scam no matter the amount.
What should be considered a scam is BJP arm twisted corporations / individuals to get funds. BJP should be called out for that, but we are able to do that because of the existence of Electoral Bonds in the first place.
So back to my question - why are we calling Electoral Bonds a scam and wouldn’t the scrapping of this make the donation system opaque like it used to be earlier? What am I missing?
That’s what I am trying to say - today we know this because of electoral bonds. Had that not been there, these firms would have still paid but there wouldn’t have been any record of that. So, electoral bond - the scheme - is not a scam , no? It actually helped us figure out these things. The scam here is the fact that firms paid money to get licenses. But with SC striking down Electoral Bonds we will not get to know of such deals in the future.
Dunno about this, but DMK is, by far, the worst when it comes to corruption and gundaism. Karunanidhi dynasty literally owns every major businesses in TN from Cauvery hospitals to real estate (G-Square) to film industry (Red giant movies) to even IPL team ("Sunrisers" which is their party symbol).
If you think media is friendly to BJP, you should check out the media in Tamil, they are literally owned by the family!
BJP. the way amounts for scams are calculated has changed. If the amount for electoral bonds is calculated the same way as it was calculated for 2g scam, then the electoral bonds scam might be 100x the size of 2g scam. Pm cares - imagine a scam which has been designed to be be untraceable.
Money wise, it’s always whoever is in power because they have more opportunity, so it’s BJP for now. Morals wise, it’s their neck and neck. There may only be some random individual party member who isn’t.
Correct
Honest taxpayers bearing the brunt Black economy flourishing Supreme Court took a good first step, revealing identities of donors Hopefully soon, someone will close doors for the shitty charities as well
Modi is not good for India
I have been having some crazy discussions on this platform about the current political scenario of our country right now. And this post by Dr. Anand Ranganathan pretty much summaries everything I had to say. There is no doubt that both...
