Parliament Logjam on National Herald Case - A Political Vendetta or Frictional Politics

Vendetta, an English word, now politically recognized. Cambridge Dictionary define as – A long and violent argument between people or families in which, one group tries to harm the other in order to punish them for things that happened in the past. Looking to the meaning of Vendetta, from no angle it seems like a political but it is in use in Indian Society by top brass leaders of India, describing their positions. Some are recognizing himself as victim – innocent, alleging to other brands for misappropriate uses of such.

November 27 2015, Suddenly social media started smiling, when they heard about a distinguish Chai session, Chai- Pe-Charch, very extraordinary word – Chai, I guess- it was  biggest nightmare of UPA during Lok sabha polls. People were astonished but considered as mood of nation. Astonished, why because, PM Modi had invited Madam Sonia along with Ex-PM Dr Manmohan Singh for bilateral dialogues and to find a mid way over GST.

GST Bill was introduced during UPA regime in 2013 but after oppose of few states rolled back. NDA efficiently suggested many changes and re-introduced this year with an addition of four components as per oppose of States. Petrol and Liquor are kept out from the list. Entry tax also excluded. A bonus benefit is suggested as 1% tax levy for maximum of 2 years. Means all 4 demands, which were in oppose during UPA regime, considered logically.

Movie was playing very nicely. All actors of UPA and NDA were performing their characters efficiently. People from every section were hopeful for GST-DJ and were asking each other about the consequences. BJP was very happy, was expecting a major breakthrough after Bihar defeats. One Bhajan song in the movie also ended gently when Chai wala PM offered tea to Madam Sonia and old owner Dr Manmohan singh of the same place at 7 RCR. Chai-pe-charcha completed successfully. Parliamentarians were in healthy mood. SP and JDU specially cleared their stand on GST in favor of govt. BJP was busy in calculating required numbers to pass GST in Rajya Sabha.

Suddenly a political asteroid landed among Parliamentarians and everything changed. Ghost of National Herald damaged entire calculations.  The Delhi High Court dismissed plea of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi to quash the summons issued by trial court in the National Herald case. A festive mood circled the Modi fannisters and Dr Swamy camp. Saffron social media started celebrating the moment. Dr Swamy claimed the victory of justice. Anxious on GST, Modi Govt immediately sidelined himself and declare it words between Court and Dr Swamy. BJP cleared, they have nothing to do with National Herald in political terms.

UPA realized the fatal position and declared it as nothing but a Political Vendetta. Madam Sonia and RG also declared it as Vendetta, questioned on intensions and interventions of Govt over National Herald.

Entire political scene suddenly changed within an hour of rejection of plea over National Herald. Congress intensified his attacks in Parliament also. BJP completely denied any involvement and declared it as whims and fancies of a particular family. Rack-suck continued for many hours first in Parliament and later-on Parliament postponed for full day. Next day also similar attacks are carried out by Congress and counter parts of UPA. Anxious BJP questioned the intensions of congress and UPA and stated the fear of Winter session washout similar as Monsoon session due to continuous Parliament logjams. Finance minister Mr Jaitley reminded the legacy of first Parliamentarian of India, Mr J L Nehru  and his words in the first meeting of Parliament and encouraged for bilateral talks and requested to settle the issue through debate – the  healthy culture.

First try to Understand, What is the case of National Herald. The National Herald Case is the ongoing case filed by Indian economist and politician Dr. Subramanium Swamy against politicians Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, their companies and associated persons in a court in Delhi. As per the complaint filed in the court of the Metropolitan Magistrate, Indian National Congress granted an interest-free loan of 90.25 crore (US$13 million) to The Associated Journals Limited (AJL), owner of National Herald Newspaper. It was alleged that the loan was either not repaid or repaid in cash which is in violation of Section 269T of the Income Tax Act, 1961. A closely held company Young Indian was incorporated in November 2010 with a capital of 5 lakh (US$7,500) and it acquired almost all the shareholding of AJL and all its properties (alleged to be worth 50 billion (US$750 million)). Dr. Swamy alleged criminal misappropriation by Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi in this matter.

Prima facie, It persist like Parliament logjam is aiming to put pressure on running Govt to minimize their interventions in the National Herald case, if any or Congress and UPA is confronting himself for further proceedings of Parliament to to bring Govt in a compromising position.

In this matter, Modi Govt is simply trying to encash opportunity in two modes. First –  Trying to ride over Social Media trials in their favor and simultaneously they want to encash the popularity of Dr Swamy in their own favor. Second – after a big setback in Bihar, BJP has received an opportunity to harness their anti-corruption image and want to make up all losses of Delhi and Bihar defeats, for that BJP is involving himself in more and more Main Stream Media trails to clear and reflect their stands on corruption.

Govt has three major challenges. First they want to pass Bills in parliament where UPA is enjoying majority in Upper House (Rajya Sabha). Second, Govt wants to give a clear indications to his supporters that their stand is very clear on corruption. Third, Govt knows very well that so far they have not implemented a single big plan, which may touch the grass root level of Indian voters and Govt is very much hopeful in mode of financial touch with GST.

Rahul ji and his team has major three challenges. They want to gear another Bihar in Assam, West Bengal and UP. The National Herald may be a big damage to Rahul’s clean image irrespective of his party. Social Media expert – Mr Prashant Kishor has also suggested the same to Rahul ji to create an image of BECHARA. Means Rahul ji is a nice guy, irrespective of party and politics, means he will not do the same as previous leaders of Congress has done if he voted to power. Second – Rahul ji knows very well, Social Media is power of Modiji. A wrong message is coming to ground that Congress is saving his bad deeds by logjams of parliament. And again he is realizing that his all tourism to common man and ground people will go in vain if traced in national Herald. Third, This is holy truth that BJP is continuously losing grounds as so far they fail to reach the poor common man, hence if they will not create a tussle then they will be under tremendous pressure to run the parliament and pass the bill in wake up of country progress. Then entire credit will reach to Modi ji accounts automatically.

Each Parliament logjams is extra burden on every common man, which leads to a loss of Rs 2 crore per day. Apart from this, sometimes this may lead to more than 100 crores in a week due to late implementation of financial activities or obstruction in delay in decision-making. Economy of country also effects from it,  which finally kills human emotions and expectations of crores of citizens/voters of India and they feel like direct dacoity in the pockets of every tax payers.
Recent Parliament logjams are also reflecting, one type of Friction Politics in India. Congress and UPA is obstructing Parliament houses but fail to give a clear message to common people of India.


Not scared, I am Indira’s Daughter-In-Law, says Sonia Ghandhi.

Congress  claimed that disruptions in RS were a protest against BJP’s inaction in Vyapam and Lalitgate Scam.

Democracy has two threats – Mantantra and Dhantantra, says Modi ji.

We oppose Polavaram - BJD

Democracy cannot be restricted to elections and Govt alone, says Modi ji.

Modi teri tanasahi nahi chalegi – Chant of Opposition during Logjam inside houses.

Modi, Amit Shah fought legal battles with dignity, BJP never disrupted Parliament – M. Venkaiya Naidu

Looking to entire wordings of parliamentarians, it is quite clear that these people are not very clear on their stands. Simultaneously Modi Govt is giving a helpless message to Indian people, which are expecting a Macho -   56 inch after giving them clear mandate. Modi Govt is fail to run both houses, which is the sole responsibility of ruling party.

End of this Story is, A clear message is coming to us that Indian Politics is riding on Personal intensions, welfare and country is secondary. We want development, best facilities and welfare of every last men of society  and in return we are paying our duties in form of tax and civil liabilities. This is a highest disappointment to every voter of India, who feels that leader is working or in feel of Political Vendetta, ignoring their problems. Also this is a biggest setback that Parties are not clear on their stands and they are not aiming the final goal means progress of every last common man. These days voters are also amid confuse over Frictional Politics of various parties. In recent development, In Bihar Assembly Polls,  the victory margin of winning  Candidate was less than NOTA votes in 23 assemblies. Means many people had casted  NOTA which cannot be considered, good for democracy in any aspects. This is leading to a national shame for all us that even parties are failed to provide a single suitable candidate.

We do appreciate our Parliamentarians efforts. Please settle your disputes among each other and work jointly for the welfare of your own people. We request continuous running of both houses. We urge for proper dialogues, Parliament Logjams can never be a true practice of sensitive leader. This is the duty of ruling party to convince opposition at any cost, which reflects the beauty of democracy. Let us work together, Let Parliament work.
