Vijay Mallya’s claim

more-in

Vijay Mallya has become yet another reason for the Congress and the BJP to indulge in a blame game (“Row as Mallya says he met Arun Jaitley”, Sept. 13). While the Congress is seeking an explanation from the Finance Minister on his meeting with Mr. Mallya, the BJP is blaming the Congress, for it was during the UPA time that loans were sanctioned to Mr. Mallya. All of this only distracts people from real issues such as rising fuel prices. It keeps their attention away from the BJP’s unfulfilled promises, while for the Congress, this is a way of gaining sympathy before the Lok Sabha election. Both parties are only making us, the people, look like fools.

For Vijay Mallya to simply make the sensational claim of meeting the Finance Minister without divulging what conspired between them is pointless.
