UPA government, which has been at receiving end for surfacing series of scams during the last one year has again struck with Augusta Choppers scam, that involves Rs.320 crores bribes. Although, the UPA wore an innocent face in this case, the main opposition party BJP does not want to let it go off its hook. It demands for Joint parliamentary Committee for which UPA initially refused. But, unable to sustain the growing pressures finally UPA has agreed for a JPC inquiry into the case. Union Minister Kamalnath has announced this to media at New Delhi today.

However, the frequency of scams surfacing in the ruling UPA government has reached to an alarming level. Each new scam replaces the older one from the probing list and finally ends up with scrapping the matter. The special committees, CBI investigations and their reports have virtually turned into a big farce, proved to be waste of time and public money as none of the activities could nab a single culprit in any of the cases until now. Whoever brought to book is roaming free availing bail facility.

While, the opposition mainly grabs it to gain political mileage out of it, the media sticks to it until it finds another such hot topic of public interest. Hence, even the government is also understood and accustomed to this typical system and boldly faces the media and opposition without feeling any guilty. BJP leader Venkayya Naidu has said ever since the UPA takes charge of the country, there was no interval for scams. He said one scam replaces the older one.
