While everyone involved in this affair must be brought under the long arms of law, the party men involved must be politically punished and swiftly. The role of the party leaders involved must be thoroughly and swiftly probed and marching orders served on them. The views expressed are the author’s own and have nothing to do with OTV’s charter or views. The reported involvement of quite a few of the ruling party legislators in the sordid saga of sleaze, however, runs counter to the Achar Samhita (Code of Conduct) prescribed by the Party’s Supremo. "Righteousness," Bhisma answered, is the watch word of a King. Her facile success points to wilting of righteousness and the viscous emerging winner. This poignant impression is indicative of the pervading state of melancholy in an unjust society where the guilty is not necessarily punished. She is supposed to have friends in right number and at right place. If Government is committed to reversing this widely-held perception, it must walk the talk, come down heavily on ‘Archanas’, their patrons and accomplices irrespective of their parentage, social and political connections. Her story is one of rags to riches. While her fast journey to the world of affluence and luxury could be a case of ease of doing business in Bhubaneswar, it also reveals the underbelly of the capital city of a poor state of 45 million people most of whom are fed with one rupee rice even after 22 years of rule by the regional party. One feels convinced that in the present state of decay of societal values, it’s the sleazeball that has the highest chance of entrepreneurial success.
