Chidambaram and his entire family are a bunch of amoral kleptocrats. He laid the roots of the current Indian security state before Modi was elected. He is now being prosecuted for arm twisting and even blackmailing corporates into giving him money, shares etc. If there were any justice in this world, that man would die in a jail cell along with his son. Now your comment is implying that he is some persecuted liberal rights activist. This is either pretty clueless or a malicious attempt to sway opinions of people, who being outsiders, know nothing.
- intended 7y agoWell, the current govt introduced black box, unlimited size, electoral bonds. So pretty much anyone can spend billions to buy a bond, and then have it anonymously sent to their party of choice. The party which has been spending the past several years building a rock solid link to corporate India is the BJP. They're earnings the last year was greater than the other top 3 parties combined, if not top 4. Think it was nearly 400% growth. For Chidambaram and his ilk, it seems his greatest fault was not thinking big enough. I do agree that they are no saints. Its just the scale at which the BJP functions is so many step function increments higher, that its laughable to compare the two.
