Even i saw the detailed report by NDTV, it's a shame for our country. We suffered a loss of about Rs 1,76,645 crore. Why blaming Congress alone? Coz they have looted more money than the other party?

Well!! This is the list which became public, where, I guess, some problem came in distributing the looted money.

Gods knows how many more scams has been enjoyed even without noticed and how many more in pipe line :)

Ab to haalat ye ho gayee hai ki eek aatee hai aur eek jaate hai.. Aur Jab tak iska Koi effective treatment nahi hota , tab tak scams ka Aana Jana Laga Rahega..Aur hum saab sirf cout karenge :)

May be in future GK/GS ka question hoga .. Sabse Jayda scam kab aur kis neta ne kiya :)

Shri Ratan TATA chairman of TATA Group many times had communicated his apprehensions regarding some unwarranted dealings in spectrum allocation but it went unheard - Congress means corruption and the party is surviving only due to Gandhi Surname else it wil go to the pages of Indian History.

DMK means "Daily Money for Karunanidhi"

Congress means corruption haath to haath.

I don't see any accountability. Kalmadi seems unshaken and goes around doing his daily jobs. A Raja resigns and thats about it. Chavan is replaced but nothing really happens. The stolen money is still with the culprits. This is all we get. They looted and they resigned. Wah bhai wah, what a country. All you need to do is win an election, do a mega scam and ensure your generations to come can live in prosperity.

The scamsters are greater mortal and professional. Ek lakshya ki sadhna hum unse sikhein. Hum unki duhaii kyon de rahe hain ? Had they been up for morality, they would not have done it all in the first place!
Everything aside, they have served and achieved their goal. That's it. Let enquiries happen, let the court announce punishments, let people turn their eyes in disdain, it doesn't matter. They are rich for generations to come. That's it.

When has the courts punished anyone on scams. The courts in India are in the pockets of the politicians. Nothing has ever happened, nothing will ever happen.
