Here's more on who is "Compromised" ?? :::: "People expected Indira Gandhi's party to be more honest and cleaner .... But this turned out to be a vain hope"

In a series of tweets, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi highlights the Corruption era of Congress party.

"Indira & Congress took money from both CIA and KGB. Mitrokhin Archives confirm the rot:

KGB suitcases full of cash were delivered straight to the Prime Minister’s house. 40% of her Congress MPs were on Soviet payroll.

They used foreign gold to crush Indian opponents. Pure Treason," he writes in micro blogging site X. 

Some of the old documents/publications as posted on the X by the BJP leader says:

-- 'CIA agents... were to be found according to Madame Gandhi, beneath every charpoy and behind every neem tree. 

Equally, as one of Nixon's ambassadors to India, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, pointed out, Gandhi had few qualms about cooperating with foreign intelli-gence agencies, including those of the United States, when it suited her interests to do so. 

The British High Commission in India kept a close watch on the political drama surrounding A Dangerous Place. 

Its officials noted that Gandhi had 'not very convincingly' denied receiving covert funds from the United States while president of the Congress Party. In citing Washington's satisfaction at her electoral defeat in 1977 as evidence that she could not have benefited from CIA.

The KGB, in Kalugin's view, was more successful than the CIA, partly because of its skill in exploiting the corruption which became endemic under Indira Gandhi's regime. As Inder Malhotra noted, though corruption was not new in India:

People expected Indira Gandhi's party, committed to bringing socialism to the country, to be more honest and cleaner than the old undivided Congress. But this turned out to be a vain hope. 

On the contrary, compared with the amassing of wealth by some of her close associates, the misdeeds of the discarded Syndicate leaders, once looked upon as godfathers of corrupt Congressmen, began to appear trivial.

Suitcases full of banknotes were said to be routinely taken to the Prime Minister's house. Former Syndicate member S. K. Patil is reported to have said that Mrs Gandhi did not even return the suitcases. 

The Prime Minister (Indira) is unlikely to have paid close attention to the dubious origins of some of the funds which went into Congress's coffers. That was a matter which she left largely to her principal fundraiser, Lalit Narayan Mishra, who though she doubtless did not realize it also accepted Soviet money. 

On at least one occasion a secret gift of 2 million rupees from the Politburo to Congress (R) was personally delivered after midnight by the head of Line PR in New Delhi, Leonid Shebarshin. Another million rupees were given on the same occasion to a newspaper which supported Mrs Gandhi.

Dr Trivedi also tweeted:

"In 1976, the Soviets even forced a rupee-rouble rate change .. This means India’s economy weaponised by foreign spies.

This was “Nehruvian socialism.” This was “Indira’s India.” 

A compromised, betrayed nation. Never forget. #CompromisedCongress".
