Lalu Prasad's conviction & A. Raja's acquittal

Lalu Prasad's conviction & A. Raja's acquittal 

With the acquittal of Spectrum Raja and Kannimozhi, there was a sudden resurgence in the forces that subverted all systems of Governance in India since Independence. 

Not withstanding the fact that A.Raja was arrested on 2 February 2011, when the UPA was in power and was in fact in prison for 15 months, DMK and Congress are doing their best to pass this whole episode off as a BJP's conspiracy. 

The same narrative is being peddled by Lalu's gang right now-accusing BJP for sending Lalu to Jail. Other caste and local issues will be clubbed together to make it seem as though grave injustice is being done to the "accused" for political reasons.

In Tamilnadu, in addition to the above, the popular Tamil card will also be used-as though this whole episode was a drama enacted by the BJP against Tamils. 

People in Tamilnadu generally dont believe that A.Raja was an honest Minister. Even the judgement says that evidence is lacking for prosecution. This 2G case has to be revived and taken up to ensure that the right judgement is served, as in the case of Sashikala. 

There has been ample evidence to show that the entire system of allocation of licenses was deliberately flawed. This was the basis for the original conviction and cancellation of Licenses.

Subverting existing systems is an even bigger crime than the "presumed" figure of financial loss in the 2G spectrum allocation. Once the systems are compromised, the very role of the Minister is reversed dangerously. 

A Minister is appointed solely to ensure proper Governance. The Minister has to ensure that the current systems and procedures are followed perfectly and meticulously. The Minister should also ensure the systems in place are transparent and can not be manipulated in the future.

One judgement has vitalized and galvanized the corrupt forces who have already united to taken on the BJP. This is dangerous for India.

It is clear that the BJP government has to do more on corruption and prosecution of the corrupt, as this was the main reason for the 2014 election victory. Like Dr.Subramanian Swamy said - Finance Ministry needs a purge and we must now fight corruption on a "war footing."
