Birthdays: Anna Hazare’s vrs Rajiv Gandhi’s

Birthdays: Anna Hazare’s vrs Rajiv Gandhi’s !!

So, Anna Hazare spent Rs 2 lakh on his birthday!! Corruption!! Poor boy Anna! Only Rs 2 lakh? Wait people for 4 more days- August 20- when the Congress and UPA Government will be commemorating Rajiv Gandhi’s birthday with ads in the media alone worth several crores!! I think Government will assign Justice Sawant to find out now volume of public money spent in remembering our late PM and if that amounts to corruption!! Or may be Government will find out some other Justice, like Justice Ramaswamy who was defended by Kapil Sibal in the Parliament against impeachment for his noble conduct!! We already have reports about ‘land grab’ in Gurgaon by a foundation!!

I remember how on November 19, 2010 the media ads were remembering Indira Gandhi….The Times of India on page 2 had on its top a wailing woman, victim of Lalita Park house collapse in Delhi and the bottom half was a Government ad remembering Mrs Gandhi!! That was not corruption!! We have to remember our leaders on public money!! I wondered if the money spent on ads for Indira Gandhi could have been spent on rehabilitation of house collapse victims, then perhaps Indira’s soul would have also smiled!!!

So people, listen to the Government!! Understand corruption!! And how dare I compare a citizens birthday bash with a leader’s? I should know leaders are superior human beings…It is not corruption to spend public money on their birthday!!
