It is intriguing fact that practically every major scam in the UPA regime has been discovered outside India and then UPA government is forced to order a domestic investigation. The latest in the series is the Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engine scam. Serious Fraud Office UK arrested arms dealer Mr. Sudhir Chaudhary and his son Mr. Bhanu, initiating investigation probing allegations which pointed that both the son and the father acted as intermediaries of Rolls-Royce. After this development Congress led UPA government was forced to institute a CBI enquiry as Indian Defence Procurement System does not allow middlemen or advisors/consultants. The earlier VVIP chopper scam also was pursued by the Italian authorities and arrested the two middlemen Mr. Gerosa and Mr. Haschke. The Italian courts started hearing and startling revelations were made before it there. It was revealed through the documents that bribes were paid to the officials and two politicians for whom abbreviations like FAM and AP were used and it was further revealed that they were paid more than Rs. 200 crores. The Government of India was forced to cancel the deal thereafter. The Tetra Truck scam, Navy war room leak scams were also exposed by external agencies. The Bofors scam came to light because of one radio station in Sweden blowing the lead. Many other scams also came to light not because of Indian Govt. oversight but because of vigilance of some individuals and more transparent systems in many other countries. The Congress regime always tried to hide the scam in the first place. Deny the existence of the scam afterwards. It instituted investigation only when cornered by the circumstances. The investigation makes progress only if it is monitored by the courts, otherwise it becomes a cover of operation.
