SCAMS - DR. MANMOHAN SINGH AT THE हेल्म Dr Tirath Garg on Jan 8 2009

It is an intrigue whether it is a coincidence or a deep rooted pathology that whenevevr Dr. Manmohan Singh is at the helm, country is plagued with historical scams. Dr. Manmohan took charge of Finance Ministry in 1991 and was there till 1996 and became Prime Minister in 2004 and is still holding the office and presently holding the portfolio of finance as well. Following are few of the biggest and historical scams of India:1- Latest in the news is Satyam Scam which is touted to be the biggest corporate scam of India when Dr. Manmohan Singh is Prime Minister as well as finance Minister. Though the CEO Mr. Raju has confessed the scam in his resignation but Dr. Singh's agencies are playing for time so that necessary home work is done so that the disclosure does not hurt the VIP's.2- Harshad Mehta Scam of 1992 which was touted to be the first ever scam of this magnitude and in fact aam aadmi of India came to know about this great word SCAM only after that.3- Ketan Parikh Scam of 1992.4- C. R. Bhansali Scam between 1992 to 1996.5- Cobbler Scam of 1995 where Shiv Daya was the main player.6- I.P.O. Scam of 2004-05 which is considered to be the biggest scam of its type.7- Dinesh Dalmia of DSQ Scam in 2000-01.8- A. K. Telgi's Stamp Paper Scam considered to be the biggest and most widely spread scam. The scam started in 1994 and was unearthed in 2000.9- Virender Rastogi Sacm in the year 1995-96.10- UTI Scam in year 2000.11- Uday Goyal's Plantation Scam started in 1995 and was revealed in 1998.With the exception of Dinesh Dalmia and UTI scams all other has the unique distinction of being committed when Dr. Manmohan Singh was at the helm. Not only this bribes were allegedly given to Honourable Members of Lok Sabha to save the P. V. Narasimah Rao government when Dr. Manmohan Singh was Finance Minister. At that time also the recipients were headed by darling of UPA none other than Guruji alias Shibu Soren who was Cabinet Minister in Dr. Singh's cabinet and was convicted and jailed for murder charges and had to quit.Then came the crisis in July 2008 to save Dr. Manmohan Singh government and allegedly bribes were given to honourable Members of Lok Sabha popularly known as Vote for Cash Scam and currency packets were tossed in sanctum Sanctorum of the country. Shibu Soren was made Chief Minister of Jharkhad is the bargain. And people have given a befitting reply to the UPA and its Chair-person and Prime Minister by defeating him convincigly in a by-poll for an assembly seat. Whether all this is a coincidence or a gift to the country by a great statesman called Dr. Manmohan Singh who has given new dirction to the polity of the country is any body's guess. So I leave it to readers to draw their own conclusions. Here I wanted to share the grounds on which I predicted in 2004 that neither it will be Vajpayee nor Sonia Gandhi but Manmohan Singh as Prime Minister but am redraining from doing so.
