Sheila resigns Kalmadi to be Delhi CM
Sheila resigns Kalmadi to be Delhi CM
Delhi , Aug 07.
Congress spokesperson Dwivedi today finally clarified that Sheila Dixit has agreed to put in her papers as a result of the ongoing CAG report on the commonwealth Games Scam. Though Ms.Dixit earlier tried to downplay the issue, stating that CAG was not the final authority, reliable congress sources have informed that Sheila has to go as the Congress high command made it quite clear to her. Congress also likes to use this as an opportunity to get back at BJP which had taken a week to convince former Karnataka CM Yeddiyurappa to resign based on the Lok Ayukta report. Mr.Dwivedi also clarified that the next Delhi CM would be Mr.Suresh Kalmadi. Hailing from Pune, and a veteran himself in Commonwealth scam, Mr. Suresh kalmadi was a surprise choice for the Delhi CM post. However, the Congress high command has democratically decided that Whatever the high command says, so shall it be. When the high command was approached at the United States, just out of the ICU , Ms.Sonia Gandhi is sadi to have said a cryptic "Kal" . The junior high command, Mr. Rahul Gandhi also was not in a mood to spend time in chosing the next Delhi CM. So, he too is said to have told "Kal". The Congress senior party members in India did a quick google search among notable Congress men with the letters "KAL" and Suresh Kalmadi easily got a page 1 ranking owing to the popularity he got in Common Wealth Games.
As Mr.Kalmadi is from Pune, when quizzed how he would suit the Delhi CM post, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh quipped, "Mr.Kalmadi is as much a Delhiiite as I am an Assammese" thereby putting rest to speculations of regionalism coming in the way of high commands decision.
Mr.Dwivedi clarified that "Unlike the BJP, the Congress would always like to take accountability seriously and since Ms,Sheila Dixit is indicted , She has to go! In her place Mr.Kalmadi would take over!"
It remains to be seen whether Mr.Kalmadi would be granted bail soon in view of the swearing in ceremony.
