Tharoor ka Suroor
It is a well known fact that money, fame, and beauty, not one but three, are the root causes for all the scams and scandals, but the passion for them remains undiminished, to say, rather appreciates over time (look at the recent case of Ranjitha and Nithyananda); and the proofs are innumerous, and every time a scam surfaces, this is the first thought that passes through our quirky mind. With the recent Cochi franchisee issue and Mr. Modi’s statement on this, there only remains a stand to be taken by the government in this regard. Whatever may be the outcome, we should appreciate the fact that Shashi Tharoor has remained on his stand that ‘He has done nothing wrong,’ I am reminded of Shoaib’s disclaimer of his marriage to Maha. But the similarity ends there itself.
What sets both the cases apart is the fact that there was a counter-allegement that Modi tried to buy out the consortium’s stake in the IPL. Since we would anyhow not be aware of the truth, there is no reason for us to worry on who outwits whom. Shashi Tharoor, to maintain his stand, tried to bring in two big bosses (Jay Mehta and Shahrukh Khan) into the loop, unfortunately, both immediately tweeted their denials making it one problem less for the Prime Minister. At any rate, every man has his own quirks and twists!
