It is very interesting to notice the way events have shapped in the last few days. The Congress-led UPA government was not very certain about the safe passage of the Nuclear Civil Liability Bill in the Parliament. BJP support was a must. What do we do then?
In steps Pranab Mukherji, the crisis man for the Congress. He calls for a breakfast meeting. The Opposition led by BJP, which had been stalling the proceedings in the Lok Sabha and causing huge losses to the ex-chequer, very ironically attends the breakfast meeting. And the deal is struck. The civil no-fault liability is increased from Rs. 500 Crore to Rs. 1500 Crore. The BJP demand of not letting private players in is also acceeded to by the Congress. WHAT MORE DOES THE BJP WANT? NATIONAL INTERESTS ARE PROTECTED. And now the Congress is sure of safe passage of the Bill.
Now, on the other hand, Sohrabuddin Ghost has been haunting the BJP for quite some time. And the CBI steps up its effort. CBI gets Amit Shah Arrested and manages to keep him in custody for quite some time. Just when it was looking as if the the CBI was gaining substantial ground in implicating the accused, comes a rude set back..
CHARGES AGAINST MODI DROPPED FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE and ONE PRIME WITNESS IN AMIT SHAH CASE TRUNS HOSTILE.
I wonder what went wrong with the CBI or what went right with the BJP overnight. . .
