JD(U) betrayal or joining hands with arch rival Congress in the JPC on 2G scam proves, one idiom for sure that "in politics there is no permanent friends or foes" or what you had opposed rigorously for years, one nice morning you may start praising that .
Only yesterday in the press conference Congress media chief Maken was proving hard of the benefit of the ordinance,and ll on sudden the next moment phone call from the boss made him finding so many faults in that. This makes it clear that "changing gears ideology" suits both the JD(U) and the Congress best.
JPC chairman PC Chacko managed to win the show with last minute addition of support from outside allies BSP and SP and absence of JD(U) members.
Eleven opposition members, including BJP, BJD, TMC, CPI, CPI(M), AIADMK and DMK voted against the Joint Parliamentary Committee report, that accused former telecoms minister A Raja of “misleading” the PM and “belying” the assurances given to him.
Senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad warned that he will be putting in a “strong dissent note”. He called the adoption of report as a “black day in the annals of parliamentary democracy” and described it as a “bail out report”.
JPC chairman PC Chacko said he had requested the members to adopt the report, in which the JPC panel approved clean chit to prime minister Manmohan Singh and finance minister P Chidambaram unanimously and to give their dissent notes which will be made part of the bound report.
