BJP, despite its wish to think otherwise, has been very soft on 2 G scam, when compared to its vociferous soundbites on CWG and vote -for-money scam.
Earlier Advani declared that the DMK is being made a scapegoat in the 2G issue.
At best he could have said that Congress is more accountable in 2G scam than DMK.
Now Gadkari says,,with his legal acumen that Kanimozhi should be granted bail because the charge sheet has been framed.
He does not seem to have read the reasons cited by the Magistrate O.P.Saini that Kanimozhi is being denied bail on the ground that
-Kanimozhi is not being discriminated against her being a woman(Kanimozhi in her bail application has stated that she is a woman!) as she is an MP and she is influential.
-She holds political power and as such can tamper with the evidence) which is a correct observation considering the fact that her father Karunanidhi, who never found time to meet up with Sonia Gandhi on the State’s problems or on the issue of Tamils being killed in Sri Lanka,met up with Sonia Gandhi and revealed that he got her assurance in this case;predictably the CBI leaked out the information that it will not oppose Kanimozhi’s bail.
-She could tamper with the evidence,(One might recall that Sadiq Pasha was murdered -he was reportedly close to SUN group and was expected to spill the beans and the case has been closed as suicide!)
-Why the CBI wants to apply different yardsticks on bail applications for different people?
One can not, under the circumstances , as the BJP is expecting a break of ties between Congress and DMK , BJP is not getting the response as it should form Advani’s Rath Yatra,BJP does not have an agenda to fight the elections right now,and that too many squabbles with in the BJP, escape the conclusion that the BJP is cozying up with the DMK to bring into its fold to fight the election.
But the Corruption ties of the DMK and the Congress are too intricate and intertwined to allow either the Congress or the DMK to leave the other.
New Delhi, Nov 12: BJP president Nitin Gadkari has said that DMK leader M Karunanidhi‘s daughter Kanimozhi should now be released on bail.
Replying to questions on Rajat Sharma‘s Aap Ki Adalat show, Gadkari said now that a chargesheet has been filed in the 2G scam, Kanimozhi surely deserved bail.
“I am not making a political point. But as far as my legal knowledge goes, once a chargesheet has been filed, the accused should have been granted bail.
“I can assure you even our party would not allege that the Congress connived to get Kanimozhi bail.”
The BJP president went on to allege that the Congress was targeting its alliance partners and political opponents by misusing the CBI.
“Except Suresh Kalmadi, not a single Congress leader has been indicted so far. Don’t you think Chidambaram is responsible for the 2G scam? The Congress is targeting its alliance partners like DMK, NCP and other political opponents.
“I have seen the Commonwealth Games files. There were signatures of the PM, Cabinet Secretary, Group of Ministers and pre-qualification norms were changed. Is Kalmadi alone responsible?
“Why was no action taken on V K Shunglu Committee report against Sheila Dikshit? Why was the Lokayukta report against the Delhi minister rejected?”, asked Gadkari.
