on the Raja corruption issue by retributions here
The same equation may be at play here. The case the Congress party is making to the middle class voter is simple: “Look, we are against corruption. We are ready to act against the corrupt in our own party. We would have acted against A Raja only if we did not need his party’s support. Next time, make sure we don’t need the support of such elements.” It won’t be surprising that instances like A Raja may actually result in Congress emerging with a larger majority in 2014. The Congress party deserves praise for transforming weakness and victim hood in to a successful political formula. Now, it is possible that a relentless opposition, constant media spotlight, and legal compulsions force the resignation of Mr. Raja but it is hard to see any political downside to his continuation in the cabinet.
