After Sibu Soren’s disgraceful exit from the parliament and his deserved entry behind bars, it looks like it’s now Chandrashekar Rao’s turn.
Yet another minister in the Manmohan Singh government appeared to be in trouble after a local court today issued a non-bailable warrant against Telangana Rashtra Samithi Chief K Chandrasekhar Rao in a case of alleged cheating.
After the ex-Coal Minister’s image was painted black, Rao stands in line next, waiting for his sins to be washed away by the Krishna river.
The important point to note here is that both these men are partners in the Congress-led UPA government. Sibu Soren is the head honcho of JMM and Rao, the supremo of the TRS. The timing of this–two people in a span of little over a month, being issued non bailable arrest warrants.
Is the Congress getting rid of inconvenient/trivial/useless allies? If indeed this is proven true, I wouldn’t be surprised, knowing the Congress’ ways.
Update: TVR Shenoy looks at the Sibu Soren affair from quite another perspective. He lauds (?) Lalu’s deceptive brains; and I’ll dare add that if the Congress keeps buckling the way it is at present, Lalu may live up to the promise he had to a visiting Japanese delegation: give me three months, I’ll make Japan another Bihar.

Without JMM and RJD Cong can forget winning the Jarkhand elections.
even scarier was Laloo’s comment after the election ” ek din mein Pradhan Mantri banoonga”. It propelled me from inertia and got me to renew a passport that had lapsed 5 years ago:)
Harini,
True. However, leaving India is hardly any good. It’ll only help ensure that goons like Lalu will one day become the PM.
