It is absolutely foolish and irrational for the Government to have had the nerve to compare Taj Mahal with our Goa’s Kala Academy (KA). Nothing could be more outrageous, laughable or further from the Truth!
The whole world knows that the former was built during a monarchy. The King who called himself “Ruler of the World” – “Shah Jahan”, built a memorial and burial place doubtlessly, a beautiful masterpiece for his beloved wife. But no thought was given to the deceased kin of lakhs of citizens who had equally loved their departed.
KA is being repaired in a democracy. Not in memory of any Politician’s kin, but for the people and with the taxpayers money. Propriety and more so the Government Rules of business required, that as mandated, the job should certainly have been allotted in a very clear & transparent manner by a fair tendering process.
Under the BJP, the outlandish becomes routine overnight. Outlandish claims and comparisons are designed to help them to deflect from the truth and fool the gullible. The BJP has mastered the art of distorting facts and even history. They have excelled in the business of spreading lies and rumour mongering.
Instead of properly governing the country, the BJP has been wanting to dictate and control as to what we should eat, drink, wear, read and speak. Narendra Modi may have conveniently forgotten but we have not, that in 2014 he had publicly promised that all black money stacked overseas would be brought back and Rs 15 lakhs would be deposited in everyone’s account. For the common man that promised ‘Acche din’ has been a dream shattered.
All these lies and deceit never happened when the Statesman figure that he was Atal Bihari Vajpayee was at the helm.
