"The CBI has never been as misused ever before"

COUNTERVIEW Weak PM lived in denial

The CBI was misused to get Mayawati's vote for presidential elections but when it was over the noose tightened around her. When Mulayam went with the UPA, his trail went cold according to the CBI. When he moved away from the UPA, the CBI was back on his trail. The entire Quattrocchi episode showed how the government lost the case by colluding with the crown prosecution authorities in London to defreeze his account. A weak prime minister was compelled to offer infrastructural ministries like surface transport involving national highways construction to tainted ministers.
