Rajiv Gandhi

1984 Sikh Riots (jab bada pedh girtha hai tho dharti hilti hai), even Bigger bully syndrome Sri lanka Mess - IPKF (what for), that stage managed hit on the head by Sri lankan Guard of Honour Solider, Nepal mess (at one time he blocked all Land supply routes to Nepal – creating the worst possible mess in India – Nepal relations), Pakistan mess (ISI launched OP Topac – policy of 1000 cuts against India – we had no answer to the same, sorry we had an answer “Mein unki nani yaad dila dunga”), Giani Zail Singh Years, Ram Janam Bhoomi mess, Satish Sharma (Mr. 10%) – achraya sushil muni (Holy mess) - , Press defamation Bill, Bofors, India in a mess and on a standstill – Bharat Bandhs every second day, Huge rallies at Boat Club, Strikes by different sections of workers (banks, railways, airports etc). What a period it was.

To be fair to him, when he was appointed P.M (nominated – as this was another hoax on the people and Indian democracy, rajiv was called to head the government even when he was not the leader of the house or deputy leader or the president of the congress party nor was any resolution passed nominating him as the P.M by the congress party), he came with a whiff of hope but he was swallowed into the cess pool called congress. I am always been astonished by a certain group coteries who have been around since 1966 and they have been the ones who made Indira Gandhi promulgate emergency, who got rajiv to do the Ram Janam Bhoomi Mess, who got rajiv to get the Press defamation bill, who got rajiv into bofors? I will not name anyone but just look at a picture of Sonia Gandhi’s Aides and just look at the aides of indira Gandhi and rajiv Gandhi also. These are the very people who have got these leaders into trouble. These are self serving bunch of people who have no love for the party or its leader but they are just serving their own purpose. I can challenge it in any court of law the wealth of these people would have risen sharply when all of Gandhi’s were in power but dipped when they were out of it. It does not mean that Gandhi’s were partners in crime but show the self serving interest of these people. I am saving this with conviction that these people would use Sonia Gandhi till they feel she can deliver and then start creating a next generation of gandhi’s to hang on to. These people have only one thing against them and that is their age. They are now in their 70-80’s but ask any of them to go and become a governor or leave politics, they will starting doing push ups to prove that they have still a lot of energy left in them.

If I have one piece of advise for the Gandhi clan, you know who these people are - just move out of their shadows. Look at a P.M like rajiv, clean family man and with what a majority he came into the parliament and what happened to him in just 5 years. He was a typical case of hero to zero. Why did it happen? Does any one think rajiv was corrupt – ask any one in the bureaucracy or the intelligence agencies who worked under him, they can vouch for his honesty even after the bofors scam but ask them about his family and friends and they all seem to have different opinions then? Mr Satish Sharma, Mr Q, Acharya Sushil Muni – all of them were handling assignments that gave them access to top businessmen, slush funds, state secrets. Who were they and why were they hanging around in the P.M.O? Why did they try their hands in different issues like trying to solve Punjab issue, fertiliser contracts, Airbus contract, HBJ pipeline contracts, etc? Why it was that most of the mega contracts went to Italian companies only during that period and then these companies got none when the gandhi’s were out of office? Was satish sharma, his wife and Mr Q involved? Can the list of maruti dealerships doled out in 1983/84/85 be checked again to find out how many of these were given to congress leadership (friends of the Gandhi’s)?
