MUNI THE BOSS

Caesar's wife" reference seems a favourite with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. He used it on Monday to make his pitch that he had nothing to hide in the 2G scam and that the PM should be above suspicion. Soon after the defeat of the P V Narasimha Rao-led Congress in the 1996 election, Singh had used the phrase at a meeting of the parliamentary party and was then seen as a bid to distance himself from Rao and the JMM scandal enveloping the late leader. It is somewhat ironic that Singh chose to use the same phrase to defend himself at the Congress plenary. While his move to reduce the proximity between his mentor and himself in 1996 was perhaps prompted by sleaze allegations, Singh has since not failed to acknowledge his debt to Rao. While Rao remained persona non grata even after his death, Singh has attended commemorative functions and spoken highly of the late leader's vision and commitment.

"The associates of public figures must not even be suspected of wrongdoing. Julius Caesar is supposed to have said this when asked why he divorced his wife, Pompeia. Because she was suspected of some wrongdoing, he could not associate with her anymore. Now that the entire UPA is suspected of cheating the nation, they all should tender their resignation.Re
