The recent press conference held by the Congress party spokesperson, Randeep Surjewala, has sent shock waves through the political world and the national capital has since been rife with speculation about how this could be the beginning of the so-called “Clean” NDA government’s downfall. Our correspondents have learnt that the grand old party has been buoyed by its success in raking up this issue and is planning to step up its attacks on the Modi led government.

A Congress insider informed The UnReal Times that the fireworks have just begun and that the party was very pleased with Surjewala for an awesome job of accusing the government of the Rs. 46,000 crore Telecom scam. When our correspondent pointed out that the period it pertained to was 2006 – 2010, the insider dismissed it as irrelevant. “Frankly boss, it really doesn’t matter – don’t talk like a Bhakt. We congratulate India’s free media on how they have taken up this issue. Now our high-credibility leaders like Kapil Sibal and P. Chidambaram will step in to demand that the NDA government answer for every scam since 1947.”

According to this source, the Congress is working out a scam a month calendar, so that each scam would be allowed enough airtime before the next one hits. Also, this way, they would be able to raise corruption-related issues during each parliament session all the way through to 2019. The plan is apparently to start proceedings with Bofors, in August. “This government needs to answer for Bofors. Crony capitalism is on the increase ever since Modi came to power. Bofors is only a manifestation of the same,” said our source. “We will follow this up with a brief but intense guerilla attack on the land scams allegedly being perpetrated by Skylight Hospitality and demand Venkaiah Naidu’s resignation, before moving on to the big Diwali release – the 2G scam. Modi won’t know what hit him. I can just visualize Rajdeep Sardesai, in his best impersonation of Larry King, face down, looking up sternly from under his eyebrows, asking GVL Narasimha Rao to come clean. I can see Karan Thapar hissing through clenched teeth. This is going to be so much fun,” our source chuckled.

Congress is not taking any chances with this initiative. Word has apparently gone out to the remaining Congress state governments in Karnataka and Uttaranchal amongst others, to ensure a continuous pipeline of scams just in case, so that the Congress-led opposition does not run out of scams to confront the NDA government with.
