If politicians, Ministers, MPs & MLAs all included, shout at each other, wash dirty linens in public, walk to the well of the house, break assets of the house, throw shoes / chappals at each other, shovel paper locket etc, they are all pardoned, because they are elected members of the society so they are above law. Oh sorry. they are above the law because they are the law makers.
They earn corers of rupees in between each election - yes their declared assets tell the story of at least what they declare if not what they do not, but no law can touch them. Charges are levelled against them by their opponents, CBI inquiry is instituted, but not a single politician gets punished or jailed, because they are above law.
They fight with each other during the day or during the elections, but they are all together in the evenings over a couple of drinks ( understatement ). They all no that no one can touch them. They are so united that they wage a war against anyone trying to upstage their party.
only a decade or so ago the the level of scams, be it stamp paper scam, Chara Ghotala, Bofors etc, used to be in crore of rupees only. Well those days we used to hear about " Ek Peti or Khoka ", probably because the politicians of those days had only that much capacity to digest. Now with globalization and Tax Heavens such levels have become stone age and too middle class ideas. Such people whose level is only this much, are called chicken hearted. Today the levels of greed and corruption have gone many notches higher. Like they say version 7, 8 , 9 etc or 2 G - 3 G to signify the next generation of up gradation of technology, today's scams run in to multi - million or thousands of crore. Signs of living in 21st century, you know.
we all speak about it in hush - hush voices and that too only in the comfort zones of our drawing rooms. If some one speaks or blows the whistle, he is terminated. If terminating such a person may cause danger to them, then they are dealt with in a different way. CBI / Enforcement directorate / IT hounds are marshalled in to service against such people almost instantly. Such is their defence mechanism.
So how could baba Ramdev succeed? How could Anna or any member of Team Anna be allowed to raise their voices? These politicians have also a knack of buying time by engaging such people in discussions and then dividing them in due course of time. Britishers have taught us well, and the politicians the best. Britishers did that to Tilak, Gandhi, Savarkar and many more who spoke against the establishment. Today since the government in rule can not afford to put them behind bars or send them to Andman, they use the CBI / IT / ED route to finish such voices.
If Kejrival or Prashant Bhushan spoke some thing in public, they all unite and move a privilege motion against them. How dare can anyone speak like that and about them? And why speak? Dare to caricature them and face the wrath. They have hired people for each occasion.
Today team Anna & Ramdev appear direction less, because the politicians have created such an impression. After all the media is in their pocket too.
It is really unfortunate that we can hardly do any thing about it, except being muted spectators.

जहां डाल डाल पर करती थी सोने कि चिडिया बसेरा .. वहां अब स्केम करते बसेरा
