The shocking saga of Navjot Singh Siddhu once again highlights the depths to which our leaders will fall into just to hold on to the chair. Convicted in a road rage case of 1988 Siddhu instead of feeling remorse or repenting for his actions and lying all along for the last 18 years that he was not even present at the scene of the crime, is seen smiling and celebrating on camera. This after he has been incarcerated in the Patiala jail for a period of 3 days.
He now proposes to move the court for annulment of his sentence to contest an election to the highest law making body of the country! In the absence of his making it to the election, the party with a difference (BJP) proposes to field his wife, amply proving to all and sundry that when it comes to politics, it is no different than the RJD of Lallu Yadav.
And in the Local Body Elections to Mumbai Municipal Corporation, Shiv Sena, the incumbent party sacks 52 of its sitting corporators telling them that they have made enough money, now they should give a chance to others. This coming from the mouth of firebrand but aging tiger Balasaheb Thakerey.
What else can one say, this is indeed the era of shameless politics and shameless politicians.
