    Mr.Jimmy Noronha, Bellore,Kulshekar,Lucknow
    The question here is about corruption not about the quality of weapons. You would have got he same weapons with out paying bribes from the same supplier. But Rajeev Gandhi was involved in taking bribe. you will come to know soon once the name of swiss account holders are announced. Do you agree with people who sell the country in the name of development to fool you ? its been happening during congress rule and some BJP ministers are following that tradition now.

    The corruption is not limited to any one party. Not only the political parties are corrupt but the whole society. The corrupt society elects corrupt leaders.

    Mr. M. Bhat, the weapons bought from Bofors are world class and came very handy against the enemy attack. Please remember, whenever there is a big deal, there is always a middleman without whom transactions hardly ever take place. I don’t think you will ever find any proof against Gandhi family when SC lawyer, Ram Jethmalani failed miserably in 1987 despite his loud talk about bring proof against Gandhi family, I think you stand no chance at all.

    One of the staunch supporter of Yeddy,X-CM of Karnataka.There could be material in private complaint.This BJP MLA always tried to defend Yeddy/BJP in the media very often.If the prevention of corruption act applied in this pace then I am sure 50% Ministers and MLAs mostly from BJP will land in jails.Good to see the LAW OF PREVENTION OF CORRUPTION spreads it's wings widely which may caution and attention such(CORRUPT) politicians.
