WARREN BUFFET HIRES SONIA GANDHIô SON-IN-LAW robert-4_0822120857171.jpg In news that has relieved lovers of money everywhere, legendary investment guru Warren Buffet has announced that the search for his successor is finally over. New Delhi-based entrepreneur Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Indian Supremo Sonia Gandhi, will soon be taking over as head of Berkshire Hathaway. Å¥espite an extremely rigorous gym schedule, this extraordinary young man has become a billionaire in just four years, said the Sage of Omaha. ůot only did he convince real estate giant DLF to give him an entire suburb of Delhi at throwaway prices, he also got them to lend him the money, interest free. My sources inform me that he is also acquiring two or three other Indian states, but heÃÔ too modest to talk about these things. Members of Sonia GandhiÃÔ domestic staff have welcomed the move. Ū kiss his boots on a regular basis, said Law Minister Salman Khurshid, ŪtÃÔ amazing how smooth he keeps the leather. Å©eÃÔ extremely dynamic, said baggage-handler Manish Tewari. Ÿhen I carry his bags at the airport, I can barely keep up. And itÃÔ not just because he doesnÃÕ have to go through security. DLF has rubbished allegations of corruption, and maintains that all dealings have been completely transparent. Ÿe did everything very openly, said a spokesperson for DLF. ŵhere is no question of favouritism. We are committed to providing the same benefits to anyone who marries Priyanka Gandhi. Others have also earmarked Vadra for international glory. Å*et me just get through this election, said US President Barack Obama. Ūf I win, IÃÎ going to use this manÃÔ help to revive the US economy. http://shovonc.wordpress.com/2012/10/06/warren-buffet-hires-sonia-gandhis-son-in-law/ lol

I know this news is not related to this thread but another example of our shameless politicians

Chennai: M Karunanidhi, the 88-year-old chief of the DMK, has said he does not know why his grand-son Durai Dayanidhi is hiding. A court in Madurai in Tamil Nadu today issued a non-bailable warrant for Mr Durai Dayanithi who has been underground for two months. A company owned by him has been accused of illegal mining and theft. "The government and judiciary should proceed legally. I'm not worried," Mr Karunanidhi said. He added, "the AIADMK government is indiscriminately filing cases against DMK cadre and already I had asked for a CBI probe into the whole issue of granite mining from the earlier AIADMK regime onwards". His elder son and Mr Dayanidhi's father, M K Alagiri is a union minister; the DMK is the second-largest member of the Prime Minister's coalition. The DMK was voted out of power in Tamil Nadu last year. The party accuses chief minister Jayalalithaa and her AIADMK of persecuting its leaders with fake legal cases. The police had a few weeks ago alerted immigration authorities to help them in preventing Mr Dayanidhi from leaving the country. However police say they have strong evidence that the controversial Olympus Granites, the company in which Durai is Director had indulged in illegal mining and theft.

IAS officer Ashok Khemka transferred three days after he asked for Robert Vadra-DLF inquiry

Speaking to NDTV, Dr Khemka, who has had 40 transfers in his 20-year-career, says," If these problems are brought in sunshine, probably my decisions would appear to be normal correct. But what happens is, inside, you are guided and directed that behave differently. If you do take an action which you call strong but I would call as correct, and then action is taken against you, it's very demoralising, dehumanising and you feel ashamed of yourself that look, there must be something wrong with you that these things are happening. You get words like 'you don't get along well with others, 'there are shades of grey in life' etc. These kinds of euphemism are created to deviate you from the correct path," Mr Khemka told NDTV.

These powerful victims by Pratap Bhanu Mehta IndiaÃÔ political elites present a dismal spectacle. Like elites in denial, they pity the plumage, but forget the dying bird, to borrow Thomas PaineÃÔ immortal words. They fret at the symptoms, but do not address the causes; they blame the messenger but do not go after the culprits; they worry about being declared guilty without a fair hearing, without introspection on why their credibility is so low. It is an elite now so estranged from reality, that it simply does not recognise how the world has changed. It is not a world that can be managed by old rules. India is on an astonishing cusp; the tragedy is that politicians, for the most part, are not running with the winds of change. But they still complain about the dust that is blinding them. DelhiÃÔ corridors of power are now echo chambers of whining. Arvind Kejriwal is running a lynch mob, the CAG is taking over the country, environmental NGOs have stopped all development, the RTI is vexatious and so forth. It is as if a vast conspiracy of non-political actors has hamstrung a virtuous political class. But the truth is the opposite: it serves the interest of this political class to present itself as victim, now that it has no authority to do business as usual. Arvind KejriwalÃÔ methods should cause disquiet. He does give the impression of a closed circle of certitude: guilt is pronounced with unbreachable confidence. Sometimes the lines between political accountability and an inquisition are blurred, and often the attacks seem too personalised. But whatever the infirmities of the movement, we should not be blindsided by the fact that this mode of seeking accountability is an inevitable consequence of the decimation of institutions. You have to feel for Salman Khurshid. In a functioning democracy he should not have been subject to a public inquisition. Khurshid is a victim. But he is not a victim of Kejriwal; he is a victim of his own governmentÃÔ decimation of institutions. It is very difficult to trust any institution at the moment. The credibility of most commissions of inquiry is low; the CBI does not inspire public confidence. In a functioning democracy, Salman Khurshid would not have had to answer charges in the way he did. The grant was made by a ministry; it should have been up to that ministry to assure Parliament that due diligence was being exercised. When institutions are decimated, the lines between innocence and guilt will be blurred. But has any party given the slightest hint it wants to restore credibility to institutions? But the myopia does not stop at the decimation of institutions. Even competitive politics is proving weaker than the forces of collusion between political parties. You can accuse Arvind Kejriwal of personalising the anti-corruption crusade. But can you name a single political party that is willing to run on an imaginative anti-corruption platform that promises institutional change? Forget Robert Vadra for a minute. The structural issue is this: will any political party raise the issue of how land has been allotted to real estate companies over the years? Expecting Om Prakash Chautala to hold Bhupinder Singh Hooda accountable for real estate allocations would be wishful thinking of the highest order. The irrigation scam in Maharashtra is absolutely unconscionable. Is any political party serious about forcing accountability for the scam? The BJP did make a song and dance about Ťoalgate? but it was all done through methods that amounted to a large pantomime, where no truth could be discovered because no institution could be allowed to function. The public is not clamouring for a witch hunt. But this is a moment where an imaginative political movement could transform the underlying shift in sentiment towards institutional regeneration. Has one party stood up and said: we will do real estate regulation differently? Or restore credibility to institutions? In other countries, the crisis of corruption leads at least some political party to put out a forward-looking agenda of institutional reform. During the progressive movement, it led to the dismantling of party machines at the municipal level, greater intra party-democracy, creation of new institutions and so forth. In Brazil recently, successive presidents have run on anti-corruption platforms, but then translated them into proper institutional channels: LulaÃÔ closest aides were recently indicted for corruption. The danger to Indian democracy is not KejriwalÃÔ closed circle of certitude; it is the closed circle of institutional complicity that makes it so hard to embed anti-corruption in any political setting. This closed circle is compounded by the fact that the other locations of institutional regeneration are quite ambiguous. The media has proved to be a double-edged sword. It is fomenting passion, but it is not exactly a reliable ally in producing the whole truth. Sections of the media are politically motivated; it too has perfected the art of trial by anecdote. In addition to political parties and the media, the third site of a progressive shift would be pressure from the top, where IndiaÃÔ rich and powerful decide that it is in their long-term interest to have a regime of rules rather than a regime of deals. But Indian capital does not have that imagination yet; nor does it have a broader vision, like Henry Ford did, of being able to align its prosperity with the flourishing of IndiaÃÔ rising classes from the bottom. As a result, it insecurely latches on to to the coat-tails of a political class whose fortunes are fast fading. KejriwalÃÔ politics is not to be understood in personalised terms; his limitations are beside the point. He is a symptom of a suffocating system, not the cause of its decline. The danger is that Kejriwal might forget three things. First, his spectacle still does not have wide traction. His movement is still very much a Delhi-based spectacle. His economic message is still quite obscurantist, although his readiness to put decentralisation on the agenda is tantalising. The politics of spectacle threatens to obscure these underlying issues, and may unleash the clamour for an authoritarian form of cleansing no one may be able to control. But the political class has to recognise that no one has tied its hands. It has tied itself into so many knots that the only card it knows how to play is the card of victimhood. Kejriwal did not destroy the CBI, he did not destroy Parliament, and he has not prevented parliamentary committees from functioning. And he is not preventing anyone else from taking on the mantle of progressive reform. When a countrys power elite plays victim, it is a sure sign that they have truly lost it.
