Kapil Sibal and UPA II

The new year has started with a shocker, which could turn out to be the biggest shocker of the millennium. Yes, it has that potential. The new Telecom Minister, Sh. Kapil Sibal, called press conference to declare that there had been zero loss in 2G spectrum distribution. He was not acting on his own but his statement had the full backing of the ruling party and the Government in power. Everyone, including those making and backing this statement, knows that there couldn't be a greater nonsense ever uttered. This would mean

1. UPA II, the govt of the day as popularly called, has not only lost its credibility but also its head.

2. And/or that they are least bothered since they know how short public memory is and next general elections are still three long years away.

3. The word 'accountability' should now be struck off dictionaries in India.

4. Last but not the least, one must learn to close one's mind to survive in this great country.
