With the possibility of general elections taking place sooner than expected, the recent spate of scams and venality is giving many politicos sleepless nights. No party can rest easy, as it’s not just Congress that’s in trouble over corruption charges –NCP, BJP, SP, BSP and DMK too have problems of their own.

In the state, while Congress and NCP are concerned over allegations against their prominent leaders, BJP and Shiv Sena too have been maintaining perceptible silence. Except Kirit Somaiya, no voice from the Opposition is audible on scams and involvement of ruling party leaders. That’s perhaps because of the fact that a few faces from these parties too have been tarnished in corruption related to Adarsh Society, coalgate, irrigation and PWD.
