Anna Hazare and Civil society has only one option left to fight it out in Public. The matter should be brought to streets and Public domain. It is only public whose support is necessary to pass the JLP bill.Congress,NCP,TMC.DMK UPA would not get going the bill as they fear that their corruption would be exposed. Anna should not wait for 15th August for fasting, but start nationwide agitation/movement all over the country by protest march by IAC and CS.We lost all hopes on this corrupt govt and our hope is only people.UPA govt has lost all public support but the constitutional propriety of 5 years term has kept it in office. But it has lost all public support and it must be ousted. Anna Hazare is the binding factor for anti corruption people, but he must be taking political supports from all opposition parties and non congress parties which would give them credence in passing their bill in LS.By such rhetoric in open they would not win the war on corruption. It is not a movement for them or their coterie but for all the people of India.They must be aware that congress would not allow them to get the JLP bill passed. They were victimized by the congress givt all along they started the movement by exposing of bhusans in fake CD,Anna in his home village ,and may more vendetta measures. Anna Hazare should not be a tool in the hands of people like Agnivesh, Medha Patkar,Mallika sarabhai who are agents of congress in the CS.We urge Anna to keep distance from such characters who are agents of Congress and wants demoralize them and also frustrate their good intentions.

True to its habit, the Congress party will attempt some drastic actions to regain its lost credibility. It will unleash vendetta against opposition leaders and attempt to show that all those arraigned against the Congress are corrupt. It will create and exploit every opportunity to rake up non-issues to divert public attention. It may even resort to dividing the electorate on caste, communal or some other lines to minimize the electoral damage. This may actually backfire on the Congress party that traditionally has had a wide appeal across various caste and other groups. Yet, a desperate Congress party may make some cynical moves to get out of the corruption rut. Attempts to link activists like Anna Hazare with the RSS are a part of this cynical strategy.
Take my word: nothing will help restore the present government’s credibility. Let me explain this from my experience as a poll analyst for two decades. When a government enjoys public trust, all its actions are generally seen from a positive perspective. And, when a government is seen to be inherently untrustworthy, all its actions become suspect. All actions of the Manmohan Singh government will henceforth be viewed from a negative perspective due to the credibility crisis that envelopes it.
The Manmohan Singh government, despite enjoying a parliamentary majority is a lame duck government. Whether it lasts the full term or dies a premature death will depend on its political survival strategies. For sure, in the public mind, it has already lost its mandate. Its defeat at polls, whenever they are held, is an inevitability that stares it in its face. GVL Narasimha Rao is a noted poll analyst

Full scale war between MMS and rahul has errupted. earlier CBI under MMS started investigating KG basin gas deal indicting deora, and indirectly rahul. Now Chidambaram is the target. Diggis statement on rahul should be PM is part of larger war. The criticism on government over talks with ramdev has enhanced the war.

Is the days of MMS government over with new election on horizon?

 I agree Nagraj. Its the Chrisian Missionary conspiracy very much behind Sonia Gandhi.Her apprehension is that once a remote controlled primeminster is now increasingly becoming powerful and must be hence controlled and thus using idiots like Digvijay singh to embarass him.

Sonia Gandhi is a curse on this country.Every evil act under this UPA government is carried out only on her orders.It can be bugging of the finance ministry or resorting to brutal attack on a peaceful agitation by Baba Ramdev.Her arrogance stems from the fact that the Hindu soceity can be easily broken into pieces,by separating the Dalits and tribals from the main body.With Sonia wielding supreme power,Christian organisations are going allout in large scale conversion activities.A supposedly senior minister like Pranab Mukhrjee is damn scared even to strongly protest against this bugging,because he knows that this was done at the orders of Sonia Gandhi.She is using a gutter fellow like Digvijay Singh to threaten Anna Hazare,that he will also get a Ramdev treatment.

There is an ethical and trust deficit in the present UPA government with everyone spying on everyone else.FM is suspicious of HM and the PM mistrusts Sonia. The CBDT trusts private detectives more than the IB.
No wonder, such bugging must have been going on for long, turning the entire secret policy decision making into a farce. Who says there is no transparency in governance?
According to one school of thought,the needle of suspicion clearly points towards P Chidambaram having engineered the bugging of FM's chamber and those of his aides.But, he won't risk his career by being the stand- alone conspirator.He must have had the blessings of Sonia Gandhi &Co.No wonder,if the investigation reveals snooping on all union ministers, their aides and other key functionaries in GOI.The studied silence of Sonia Gandhi and HM,reinforces the suspicion.

One more theory.The 'watergate' could not have been possible without the collusion of the staff of night duty section, personal section of FMO, housekeeping section of MOF and ,last but not the least, the maintenance staff of CPWD . The mole needs to be identified. FM's denial of country’s economic espionage is a simplistic explanation and the same may be rubbished once the secret tapes of conversations in FM’s chamber (and those of his aides) are leaked by the Wikileaks. The possibility of a nexus between the insiders with the Corporate world or political rivals could also not be ruled out.
What happens in government buildings after ‘office hours’ and at odd hours during ‘holidays, is an open secret. There are incidents galore of merry-making, drinking and other unmentionable activities within the precincts of government offices .The hiring of safai karamcharis and others on contractual basis under the scheme of “outsourcing” ironically introduced by MOF ,is a major irritant. The contractors’ staff of CPWD who work mostly during holidays for renovation and repairs could cause embarrassment to GOI as army of such staff is allowed access into office buildings through temporary passes and without security verifications. These pose direct threats to office secrecy.
Let the Security agencies take pro-active measures against recurrence of similar security breaches in future. Let them start scanning the offices of all sensitive functionaries of GOI including Ministers, Secretaries and Officers upto the level of Directors and their personal staff in all ministries for ‘de-bugging'.Let there be no chewing gums at strategic places
