Parliament Session Two days of special session of Lok Sabha brought many surprises that even the ‘main’ politicians had not expected. Day one offered nothing special except allegations and counter allegations by both of the groups and adjournment of the house. But on day two whole of the country was stunned to see the behavior of most of the MPs and the sudden development when three BJP MPs stood up showing wads of Indian currency alleging that they were bribed by a leader on one of the main allies of the UPA to abstain from confidence motion.

Bribery All the three BJP MPs, elected from Madhya Pradesh, Ashok Argal and Fagan Singh Kulaste (Madhya Pradesh) and Mahavir Bhagora (Rajasthan) showed the wads and tabled in front of the secretary-general. They told that it was 1 crore given to Mr. Argal as in advance. They alleged that each of them was promised three crores. And remaining amount was scheduled to be paid after the voting. They also claimed of having recorded whole of the ‘drama’ with the help of CNN-IBN that is enough evidence to prove the allegations. They told that it was Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh’s assistant Sanjeev Saxena who had given them the money at Argal’s house.

Shame for Democracy Though Lok Sabha Speaker Som Nath Chaterjee has ordered the enquiry and the UPA government has survived the trust motion; the people of the nation are shell-shocked. For the last month public was seeing the politicians changing their sides and it was being expected that as for as the issue of n-deal is concerned there will be a serious discussion followed by voting in the special session of Lok Sabha. Most of the population of the nation is unaware even of the meaning of the word ‘n-energy’. And it can not be expected that these ignorant people will give their opinion on the issue. In such circumstance it is the duty of the leaders to act, keeping in view the future of the country. It is the necessity that India should be independent in the field of energy and n-energy is the best available option. Instead of discussing the issue most of the opposition as well as ruling coalition leaders remained focused the prove each other ‘more corrupt’. This is a shame for the country and for the democracy.
