Modi:- Will not eat will not let eat


Modi:- Will not eat, will not let eat. 

When a chief politician whose election promises that he will not eat nor will he let eat, (greed being a euphemism for corruption), finally achieves his goal of becoming head of Government it does not behoove him to forget that not so long ago avowed promise.  When a close colleague has a son who has suddenly found himself in great wealth the father's proximity to the boss becomes an embarrassment not only to the politician but also to the party he belongs to and undoubtedly to the boss-man who had boasted of his penchant for ascetic fasting. Why then is the P M who is prone to  to spout homilies on each and every occasion not saying anything relating even obliquely to this sudden disclosure?

We tend to believe that the threat to take the web magazine, which brought this exceptionable amassing of wealth to light, to court for defamation is an infantile response and will keep this cloud on the government's keepers in the public gaze for much longer than it deserves. The coincidence and concurrence of fortune smiling with the paternal rise to power is too blatant to be accidental. 

There are enough precedents to follow and if Amit Shah has the moral fibre which the BJP always publicly professes to possess, it is only correct for him to bow to his sense of propriety and resign after initiating a process to investigate the reasons for the sudden prosperity of his son.  Then will the sins of the son be visited upon the father?
