New Delhi: Sonia Defends PM, Targets BJP on Yeddyurappa

New Delhi, Nov 24: After the Congress was decimated in the Bihar elections, Sonia Gandhi congratulated the Nitish Kumar-BJP alliance for its clean sweep. She said her party "will start from scratch" in the state. "We did not have much hope. We took a deliberate decision not to work in alliance with other parties," she said.

For the first time, she also spoke about the 2G spectrum scam. Gandhi defended the PM vehemently, describing him as 100% above board" and said it was "shameful" for the Opposition to attack the Prime Minister over the controversy.

She said she wanted to remind the Opposition that they targeted the PM in 2009, and that the PM won the election.

The Opposition has been demanding that the PM explain his role in the 2G scam, which cost A Raja his job as Telecom Minister. The Supreme Court had asked the government to explain why the PM's office took close to a year to decide on a request by Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy, asking for sanction to prosecute Raja while he was in office.

Gandhi also took on the BJP for deciding that BS Yeddyurappa will continue as Chief Minister of Karnataka despite the allegations of corruption confronting him. Gandhi said that her party has acted swiftly against members accused of corruption - she cited the examples of Shashi Tharoor, Ashok Chavan and Natwar Singh.

Chavan was removed as Maharashtra Chief Minister last month after it was revealed that three of his family members were given flats in a Mumbai building intended to house war widows and defence veterans. Gandhi said Chavan would have been removed even sooner, but the party wanted to wait till US President Barack Obama completed his trip to Mumbai.

    Hi Nagesh Nayak, you might watched the children who cry, role on floor, and do all stupid things to get their demand. Your Yeddi is the same charector. Remember such child will destroy whole family if NOT corrected and your Yeddi will do the same thing. Now you can not expect any good from BJP because high command proved that corruption, rape, murders, and all criminal activities is accepted by BJP.[Bharathada Jagali Paksha].

    In INC Sonia is a leader without brain and she would listen to her coteries. Ultimately that would become a dicission. In BJP there is collective leadership. If majority speaks then that would become a dicission. In INC nobody can become president. ONly Sonia or Priyanaka or Rahul or their childern. But in BJP any party worked like Nitin Gadkari can become a president. Congress follwos dynastic rule. BJP follows democracy.

Just one Question to Mr.Nayak and other supporters of Shriman Yeddyurappa, He has made hundred of crores and probably purchased hundred of acers of land for the price of peanuts for his sons and son-in-laws, it is enough for his 100 generations, what will you get by supporting him, atleast one 60*40 site.......no way!

    In Bihar Congress was not in power for last several years, hence one cannot call it routed. I don’t even remember if at all congress was in power in that state. I feel that could be the reason for no development. No doubt Nithish Kumar has done a good job and people recognised his work and I liked his humble speech after the victory. May God bless him to rule the state with harmony.

    TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CRORES FROM C.I.A. TO SWAMY & SUPREME COURT JUDGES TO CLEAR MANMOHAN SINGH-II :

    I am India's expert in strategic defence and the father of India's strategic program, including the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program. In my blog titled 'Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.', which can be found by a Yahoo search with the title, I have described how the C.I.A. keeps India poor, weak and enslaved: "India's greatest scientist and greatest living Indian publicly tortured in Harvard seminar, systematically and totally starved for up to 3 weeks at a time, made semi-starved and homeless and even blind for years, kept under 24-hour audio and video surveillance as well as surveillance of communications and electrical typewriter and computer use, document creation and photocopying, etc., by satellite for more than past 3 decades, systematically harassed and in poverty and neutralised and robbed of his work at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars per year, robbed of crores in his money and property in India by C.I.A.-RAW, forced back into exile in the U.S., all with full cooperation and participation of India's RAW and India's C.I.A.-RAW-controlled prime ministers, politicians and media to keep India poor, weak and enslaved" and how this means the nuclear destruction of New Delhi and then the coast-to-coast destruction of the United States.

    Dear nagesh talk some sence man.... yediyurappa is brave in what sense???
    He is openly threatening his own party by saying “that he will resign only if others facing corruption charges, including the controversial mining barons Reddy brothers who stoked dissidence against him, are also made to go" it syas that he is guilty and he know that even Reddy brothers are gyilty.
    And what does he prove or mean by saying this “"I can't be replaced. If I am asked to step down I can destabilize the government as I have the support of all the BJP MLAs. I have no successor in the state except me,"

    Overall your so called High command are scared no body has guts enough to take any decision… Nagesh think before you comment….

    Nagesh,
    Dont bring Bihar while discussing Karnataka. Congress didnt had any presence in Bihar (just 9 MLA out of 243)so no question of getting routed.
    Nitish has changed Law & Order situation in Bihar so he deserves to be re-elected. His election with a very high majority may bring revolutionary change in backward Bihar.
    Contrary to that we hear only about scams from present Puesdo-Nationalist Karnataka Government.

Whether there are fools or the people are fools is to be questioned now. Anyways Yes it is shame on BJP high command they gave in for YEDDI. Yeddi will crumble Karnataka BJP for sure when they are gaining strength in other states.

    Now the time has come to clean our political system and the Law & Order system. The Election Commission should bar the dirty politicians with criminal records from active politics. Most of the so-called clean politicians and bureaucrats too are making money either for the party or for themselves or for both, through nepotism, kickbacks, land-scams, by putting pressures, by threatening and what not.
    If we fail to make the political system clean and check on our population growth, than only the rich will become richer and the poor will become poorer.

    It is nice on your part to congratulate to the opposition’s election victory, i.e Bihar
    By soul searching, Congress is fortifying its every routes to the next general election victory.
