Will Narendra Modi allow Indian Politics to prevail over his own ethical standards ?

Usually I avoid writing on politics and would prefer to discuss anything good other than the subjects revolving around politics. No doubt, politics happens to be the most preferred choice of discussion in any gathering or in the mass media but most of you readers would agree that it is often just so futile.

However, this is not to deny the fact that politics happens to have the most significant impact on the fate, the lives and the histories of the individuals as well as the communities and the nations. Besides, it is also to be noted that all those known and revered as great statesmen were essentially politicians. 

In the past few days, the hot political topic is the controversy involving the link between few politicos and one self exiled sports administrator. The events suggest that he used his proximity to the politicos to make things easy for himself in the nation of his present domicile. Here, we may skip the details.

In this backdrop, it is seen that the single point agenda of the opposition happens to be to embarrass the top leadership of the ruling party and to besmirch the reputation of the present rulers. We can not expect them to be in any way bothered about the thing called corruption. After all, politicians are expected to be corrupt and if someone is not, then either he lacks courage to exploit the situation or may be that he just did not have an opportunity. Remember, this equally applies to all human beings.  

It remains a fact that the opposition should have no face to face the people in this case or in any such case since it is the same ruling clique which first gatecrashed the sports bodies, then made situations which allowed corruption to permeate the nooks and corners of sports arena and has since created such stranglehold over the sports bodies that even a superhero would not be able to untangle the grip.

Here, I see no use in discussing it further since any amount of discussion, with the best of intentions, will do precariously little to throw out the politicians from the various sports bodies. And yes, please do not expect one CWG or a Lalitgate to usher in a new era of cleaner and more ethical sports bodies.

My worry is simple, and that is centred around the man at the helm, Mr. Narendra Modi, the PM. The moot question is whether he will act and get rid of the persons with questionable integrity or that he too will allow himself to fall prey to the political games and will get dwarfed like any other politico.

I am watching keenly and expect him to cleanse the party and the government, and all sports bodies, of all the corrupt elements. Otherwise, he too would be facing the same risks and the fate that befell his predecessor, who was seen as an educated, honest, sincere, and well intentioned person, but who, ironically presided over the most corrupt administration for a full decade, as is proven in court cases.

I do not want Narendra Modi to face any similiar ridiculous situation and wish he begins to act now.
