Black Money Issue

The recent developments in the matter of tracing the black money has brought out some thoughts in my mind.

Most of us are aware that all the Swiss Bank is one of the most talked about destination for Black Money. It includes the money earned from corruption and the genuine money also but to avoid Taxation. Now, for last 4 decades this is happening and for last 4 years only , this issue is being taken seriously by the politicians and activists.. The amount as per one of the most reputed Not for Profit organisation: Global Financial Integrity is around 34 Lac Crore !!.. Well, this is just an estimation..The amount could be much more.. However, even this amount reflects that how many people and how much magnitude of corruption is taking place in our daily lives. And this is no doubt directly correlated with our financial and economic well being.

The trace of the black money is possible, but there is no intention by the political parties and or power centers as most of the high end corruption is a chain effect and takes place with the help of all such people involved in the machinery. If some people are traced, the whole chain will start getting unfold,, and this involves all sides of political arena and hence their own mutual interests are to be protected by them mutually... Hence, take for granted that Black Money will never come back.. At the best, just to fool and pacify we Indians, there will be some scapegoats and some few grains will be thrown to our thinking to be cool !!

The results of the General Elections 2014 are out. BJP's huge victory is a reflection of various things and a setback to Congress ( obviously) and shockingly Aam Aadmi Party which won only 4 seats.
BJP has come in power with full majority at 283 seats. Now, what led to this level of performance of BJP and AAP.. Most of people agreed along with Arvind Kejriwal that their sudden exit from the Delhi led to distrust and which led country to vote for BJP instead of AAP or other. Especially, in delhi where in Legislative Elections, AAP won 28 seats, couldn't get a single seat in General Elections.

AAP must admit ( though they have started confessing and apologizing too) that they should not have resigned from the Delhi Govt. Their stand was the Lokpal Bill. However there would have been thousand more things other than Delhi Lokpal bill on which they could have performed and win the hearts and trust of not only Delhi but could have set an excellent example and PROOF of their capability. Though being filled with good intentions, no body will be able to believe them again so soon. AAP's task becomes more challenging now when BJP is in full power at Center..
