Paul Volcker is worse than Advani after the revelations about the Oil For Natwar Scam. External Affairs Minister K Natwar Singh has, as everyone and their pet Chihuahua know, been named among those who took delivery of thousands of barrels of oil. That doesn’t make the party happy. Here’s a typical conversation at the party headquarters: Congress A: He got so many barrels, what did we get? Congress B: Nothing at all. We always knew he was slick, we didn’t know he was an oil slick. That explains why most Congressmen want Natwar out of the Foreign Ministry and where he belongs, in the Petroleum Ministry. That doesn’t make Mani Shankar Iyer very happy either. Also, his ire is raised about the money Natwar may have made. There are dark muttering in the Oil Ministry: “Here we are trying to get a natural gas deal with Iran, and here’s Natwar who is a natural gasbag and got that deal with Saddam Hussein.” Natwar Singh has certainly explained his case in his meetings with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi. Here’s what they discussed: PM: What did you do with all that oil? NS: We needed it to grease all those palms to win the election. SPM (or Super Pm aka Sonia Gandhi): Di che cosa stanno parlando? PM: Since Soniaji doesn’t understand what the problem was, we’ll choose to ignore it. Natwar gushes his thanks and leaves and mutters: “Oil’s well that ends well.” Of course, the Left partners of the Congress in the UPA Government are feeling more like Left Out Partners because they never saw as much as a drop of oil forget about a barrel or two. So, they are screaming hoarse for an enquiry…to look into why the Communist parties did not get to partake of the liquid wealth. They can’t take a final stand till their Chinese comrades tell them what to do. The BJP is also angry and wants Natwar out. More importantly, the party wants Jaswant Singh and Yashwant Sinha out because while they were Foreign Ministers, the BJP didn’t get to see any Iraqi oil either. Worse, they feel bested by the Congress. The complaint at the BJP headquarters is that “We only had a petrol pump scam with Ram Naik, here you have an international scam for the Congress. Why, oh, why are we so neglected? But they can’t take a final stand till the RSS tells them what to do. Meanwhile, the Congress has also announced that it will sue the United Nations. Of course, given the UN charter, it cannot be sued, but that doesn’t stop the Congress because it never did pay much attention to legal niceties anyway. No one really knows where the oil finally went and Natwar isn’t telling. However, there may be clues as to its use. Just take a look at Natwar Singh’s slicked back white hairdo.
