While everyone in the corrupt media keep harping on the corruption stemming from the elections (which is true), they conveniently leave untouched the other perpetually ongoing corruption from rent seeking IAS, IPS, IRS and others in the babudom. The reasons are quite obvious – media houses would be shut down in the blink of an eye if the babudom goes after it given the fake, twisted news these presstitutes spew 24/7.
But Narendra Modi has an ace up his sleeve. The impact of DeMo.
Now the cynics will say babus are collecting new notes now. True. But that’s being shortsighted in this fight against black money and parallel economy.
Lots of babus have used the Jan Dhan accounts to launder their ill gotten wealth. Data shows that in UP it is the highest.
But, for the first time, this money has come into the “net” even if it was taken out (by now). The deep big data mining will leave a clear trail to follow. Surely, the big ones will be the first to be picked up for investigation.
True, this massive hunt will take time, but if Modi stays the course, it’ll be a daily media expose before very long. Definately before the 2019 General Elections! The slackness in the IT and IB investigations, not to mention the Banks & RBI scans, will become increasingly difficult if the PMO sets up systems to spot “leaks” or “cover ups”…. which, no doubt, are bound to arise. After all, the same babudom has to carry out this work. But there are honest babus too, and this is their chance to claim their rightful fame!
It’ll all depend on Modi follows though. With sustained vigour and include the corrupt politicians – in the BJP too – or he will rue the fact that the electorate will “get even” for the trauma they suffered, and show their ire by 2019.
The buck stops with Modi. He will either be India’s all time PM Hero or as the cliche goes, a zero.
