Time to Celebrate or to Look Out for the Trojan Horse?

Anna has done it! He was pursuant enough for the government for it to give written assurance to him and his team that all variants of the bill will be discussed. Now that the BJP has opened its big mouth supporting Anna and the aam admi(considering that it allows daylight robbery of national resources by its party-men in Karnataka), it is an acid-test for the party where everybody will be watching which side it will tilt. If for any reason the BJP does not vote in favour of Anna's Bill Draft, the public will open its 'Trinetra' on them and it will be very difficult for the party to explain its anti-Anna stand at every election be it Panchayat election or Parliamentary elections. If BJP and the Congress (and also SP, BSP et al) vote in favour of the bill, it will be the first time in the history that the Chicken has agreed for the Masala to be made for the Chicken Curry. My apologies to all Vegans and Vegetarians if I have hurt their sentiments for exemplifying the chicken (actually this statement is a disclaimer in disguise so that in future Manish Tiwari will not malign me for being insensitive to the sentiments of Vegetarians, Vegans and other non-eaters of chicken!!). But could this olive branch extended to Team-Anna be a Trojan Horse where wounded tigers of the Congress are planning an ambush? The other thing could be that Congress has somehow over the last few hours have learnt the trick of making the impossible (given the fact that they were rubbing the technical reasons for not accepting Team-Anna's demands into the wound of the public) possible.

All Anna is asking is accountability in the areas of The Judiciary, The Executive and The Legislature, even if it is brought about by bills other than Lokpal. Is it too much to ask for? Is The Congress doing us any favour by bringing in accountability? I think not. Anybody who draws a salary from the treasury of Public Money must and should be made accountable. Is it not the correct approach? Is it not the right of every tax-payer who is only asking 'Please tell me on what did you spend my money?'?

The Government should understand this:
1. Team- Anna who may or may not be representing the larger population are asking for accountability.
2. That the people have lost faith in the political will of all parties to pass the stronger version of the bill and is dilly-dallying with the passing of the bill for the last 22 years. How much longer?
3. That it took 10 days of fasting by a 74 year old Gandhian and the mammoth support that he today commands for the Ruling Party to even acknowledge the angst of the common man and his futile attempts at eliminating corruption.
4. It took our Prime-Minister to make his first statement only after things became very serious and this is not becoming of a Prime-Minister. As I said earlier, he should have called Anna for a private meeting, even before the fast began, in which both could share their personal thoughts about the matter and come to a via-media settlement. No. He chose to remain silent like a man who has no control over his subordinate ministers with Kapil Sibal and P Chidambaram holding the reigns. One question. Who is the actual head of the Government? Does not seem like it is the Prime Minister.
Ram Bharose Bharat Shaasan Ki Jai!!
