Mr. India and Augean Stables

The moment I tuned in to “Times Now”, however, I was brought down to earth at the sight of the BJP and Congress spokespersons defending their errant “Netajis”. Congress’ Jayanati Natarajan seemed totally miffed by Anil Dharkar’s comment that politicians are shameless. She wanted to know how he can say such a thing. You are right, Ms. Natarajan. Not “all” politicians are shameless, but about 99.99999999% of them are.

And BTW, Mr. Dharkar was right on the spot when he said that they don’t give a damn about being caught on the camera!

Hercules might have cleaned up the Augean Stables but I am pretty sure that to clean up the mess in Indian politics, we will need our very own home-grown Mr. India!
