Now, after the verdicts of OP Saini – CBI Special Court Judge acquitting Raja – then Telecom Minister of 2G Scam Fame, Nation was again shocked. Due to the shock, some remarked: This verdict is a bigger scam than the scam.  Others were this to say: justice is blind; pity those in her sway, shocked to discover she is also deaf. Whatever may the nation’s mood and shock, judgement is a judgement and all should respect the judgement till it is changed by a higher court. Satyameva Jayathe – though  delayed – will never be denied, if what we want is really  Satyam.  Nation believes that a  lie can travel halfway around the worl

Apart from Modi and Amit Shaw, many Central Ministers are camping and campaigning at Gujarat to counter ‘one man army’ – Rahul. For BJP, not only winning Gujarat election which is almost certain, its’ winning goal of 150+ seats is equally gaining momentum and also its vote share. This is because anything short of 150 seats by BJP may be projected as ‘victory’ for Rahul’s one man army’s impact which will be carried forward for forthcoming elections making BJP on the defensive.
