How Arvind Kejriwal can save himself


Narendra Modi and Amit Shah have a clear vision. Eliminate all opposition. Decimate them or absorb them. My previous post [link below] showed a few people decimated by them. Today let’s look at the others: those who are saved by joining the Bharatiya Janata Party [BJP].

1. Himanta Biswa Sarma 


This guy was in Congress and faced serious charges related to the multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam. He also faced corruption charges related to drinking water supply in Guwahati. His house was raided by the Central Bureau of Investigation [CBI]. Then he switched over to BJP and all his crimes just vanished. It’s as simple as taking a dip in the Ganga and all your sins are forgiven. Today he is the chief minister of Assam. Nothing is heard of all the charges that were levelled against him.

2. Amarinder Singh 


This former Captain in the Indian Army was a Congressman until Modi’s Enforcement Directorate [ED] started raiding him, his son and his son-in-law. He put an end to all those raids simply by joining the BJP.

3. Pema Khandu 


This is another Congressman who washed all his sins in the Ganga of BJP. Many corruption cases that existed against him just vaporised when he joined the BJP in 2016. Today he is the chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh.

4. Suvendu Adhikari


Yet another Congressman who shifted allegiance to the Trinamul Congress and then saved himself from jail by joining the BJP. All the people who lost their money in the Ponzi scheme that he was part of were made fools by Modi’s party which exonerated Adhikari all too easily when he agreed to join the BJP.

5. Ashok Chavan


Another Congressman who was the chief minister of Maharashtra until the Adarsh Housing Society Scam hit him hard. The CBI was after him for years until he joined the BJP. All his sins melted away as naturally as a dewdrop vanishing on the touch of the morning sun. 

6. Digambar Kamat


When the CBI started questioning him on certain irregularities related to water supply in his state of Goa, he just joined the BJP and all investigations ended altogether.

7. Ajit Pawar


This man and his wife were accused of corruption related to cooperative banks of Maharashtra. He then abandoned his party, NCP, and joined the BJP. All charges of corruption vanished.

8. Chhagan Bhujbal 


He was arrested in connection with the construction of Maharashtra Sadan in Delhi. He too found the easiest solution by joining the BJP. Now he is a free man.

9. Narayan Rane


He abandoned the Shiva Sena and joined the Congress. And then charges of corruption came up. He joined the BJP and resolved all problems.

10. Praful Patel


Another guy who abandoned his party NCP and flocked to the BJP along with Ajit Pawar just to save himself from corruption charges.

11. Bhavana Gawali


Yet another of the Shiva Sainiks who jumped the boat to save herself from prison. And the redeemer was again the BJP.

Conclusion

During the ten years of Narendra Modi’s rule, 95% of cases filed by the Enforcement Directorate were against opposition leaders. During Manmohan Singh’s period, there were only 26 such cases and only half of them were against politicians from opposition parties. Modi’s first 8 years (up to 2022) witnessed 121 raids on politicians out of which 115 were against people from opposition parties. Many of these opposition people saved themselves by joining Modi’s party. Arvind Kejriwal can save himself too. Let all politicians save themselves at least. The country has become irredeemable anyway.

    There is no disputing that corruption has been and is a major issue, at lower levels and higher levels. But the way our political establishment -- comprising all parties in different states -- has gone about addressing it is totally disappointing, to the say the least.
    Never has there been a ray of hope.
    Every single party is guilty of acquiescing corruption, in one way or the other.
    Parties point fingers at one another, akin to pot calling the kettle black.
    Not a single party has acted decisively -- in a manner that will set an example -- against its members who have been charged with or convicted of corruption.
    One can go on and on regarding this. But suffice to say that the way things are going in different parts of the country is extremely depressing.

      The very notion of morality, let alone dharma, has been brought down into a quagmire of filrh. That's the biggest catastrophe.

    Bingo! The list is endless, and there are more migrants from other parties than the original cadre for sure. Their way of centralising corruption..

      We're getting the opposite of what we were promised, worse than what we were getting earlier.

    Among all those listed here, I think Biswa Sarma stands out loud and clear as the most. corrupt.

The Adventures of Toto as a comic strip

  'The Adventures of Toto' is an amusing story by Ruskin Bond. It is prescribed as a lesson in CBSE's English course for class 9. Maggie asked her students to do a project on some of the lessons and Femi George's work is what I would like to present here. Femi converted the story into a beautiful comic strip.

Two Nuns and two questions

The nuns kept in custody  Two Catholic nuns were arrested on 25 July 2025 at Durg railway station for allegedly trafficking tribal women from Narayanpur in Chhattisgarh to Agra in UP. Today’s newspapers in Kerala have expressed their contempt of the act more vehemently than I had expected. It seems secularism has hope yet in this country. For those who are not aware of the incident, two nuns were arrested because some criminals of a depraved organisation called Bajrang Dal in Chhattisgarh chose to conclude that the nuns were committing the crime of human-trafficking. Since that charge wouldn’t stick, because the women confessed that they were going voluntarily to take up jobs with the help of the nuns in order to raise their families from miserable poverty in a country that claims to be a $5-tillion-economy, another charge was fabricated that the nuns had indulged in religious conversion. Now let us look at certain facts. Though I keep questioning the Christian churches for...

Missing Women of Dharmasthala

The entrance to the temple Dharmasthala:  The Shadows Behind the Sanctum Ananya Bhatt, a young medical student from Manipal, visited the Dharmasthala Temple and she never returned to her hostel. She vanished without a trace. That was in 2003. Her mother, Sujata Bhatt, a stenographer working with the CBI, rushed to the temple town in search of her daughter. Some residents told her that they had seen Ananya walking with the temple officials. The local police refused to help in any way. Soon Sujata was abducted by three men, assaulted, and rendered unconscious. She woke up months later in a hospital in Bangalore (Bengaluru). Now more than two decades later, she is back in the temple premises to find her daughter’s remains and perform her last rites. Because a former sanitation worker of the temple came to the local court a few days back with a human skeleton and the confession that he had buried countless schoolgirls in uniform and other young women in the temple premises. This ma...

The Chhattisgarh Story

Deforestation in Chhattisgarh Kerala’s Catholic Church is teeming with rage these days because of the arrest of two nuns in Chhattisgarh on false charges. No one seems to understand the real politics behind the Modi government’s enmity towards Christian missionaries in Chhattisgarh as well as other backward states in its neighbourhood. Modi is selling the tribal areas and forestlands to the corporate sector part by part, his friend Adani being the chief benefactor. The Christian missionaries are a severe hindrance in that commerce. Let us get some facts right, at least. The Adivasi villagers allege that Gram Sabhas (local governing bodies) were forged or manipulated under pressure from Adani and the BJP government officials in order to take away their lands. In Hasdeo Aranya, minutes of the local body meetings were altered to show the villagers’ consent for land transfers. Also, the Chhattisgarh Scheduled Tribes Commission found that Panchayat secretaries were detained and coerc...

The Little Girl

The Little Girl is a short story by Katherine Mansfield given in the class 9 English course of NCERT. Maggie gave an assignment to her students based on the story and one of her students, Athena Baby Sabu, presented a brilliant job. She converted the story into a delightful comic strip. Mansfield tells the story of Kezia who is the eponymous little girl. Kezia is scared of her father who wields a lot of control on the entire family. She is punished severely for an unwitting mistake which makes her even more scared of her father. Her grandmother is fond of her and is her emotional succour. The grandmother is away from home one day with Kezia's mother who is hospitalised. Kezia gets her usual nightmare and is terrified. There is no one at home to console her except her father from whom she does not expect any consolation. But the father rises to the occasion and lets the little girl sleep beside him that night. She rests her head on her father's chest and can feel his heart...
