A Dirty Political Story.

The ethics being practised by the Political Parties in India stooped to a new low during the vote of confidence by the Indian government in the Parliament on 22nd July 2008. There were rumors that money was being offered by certain politicians to MLAs from the opposition to vote for them or, abstain from voting. These news were denied by various sources and the entire nation prayed that these refutals were true.

But that was not to be.

People who watched the live telecast of the vote of confidence in the Parliament witnessed the above picture of one of our Member of Parliament flashing bundles of notes that he claims were offered as "Bribes".

From the next day onwards started balming and counter blaming by the party in power and the opposition parties. Along with it came a few tapes and recordings, whiche were claimed to be spy-videos (which later proved to be fake ones) of people offering and yet others receiving bribes. This went on to such an extent that a few people even started blaming certain political parties to have masterminded a few bomb blasts in the country to distract the attention from the investigations about this cash-for-vote scam. It is a pity that the politicians of a nation, who ideally are the ones responsible for the country, did not have time to weep or, express their condolences to the hundreds who died in these blasts, but found time to gain mileage out of it. Waht a dirty political story is this?
