Would you ask questions to a bandicoot if it is walking right away into your well laid trap?
One: It does not seem to be the case outside of Delhi since in AP some CONgoon was also caught trying to embezzle his (or some looted) BM along with a cop. If it was open season., he would have gone straight to his political HQ.
Two: After the political party launders the money., simple accounting will paint a huge target on its back by ECI., all political parties have to provide to the ECI expenditure reports and I believe it has to be certified by CA. A sudden surfeit of 'expense receipts' from October and November 2016 will leave a paper trail. And each of that paper is a minefield that can be exploded at opportune time.
Three: If political party are indeed exchanging huge sums including their stash - then why are they reacting as if their bank is looted? They should be happy - since they can skim off other's BM too!
For example you are a sarkaari babu from octroi with say 10 Cr. Rs. in demonetized notes. You approach the CONgoons and ask them to launder 10 Cr. Rs. First this will expose you to them for future ransom. But for now., they say yes they will return say 8 Cr. Rs in new notes to you. And they hire you as a 'political consultant' or 'ad man' or 'transport provider' or 'goods and service facilitator' and give you a receipt (back-dated) of the goods and services you provided. You think you are happy now., you go and deposit it in bank - it is white already so no declaration other than state that you opened a business. But - the first question is that when did you start the business and how come you made a sudden sale of say 8 Cr. Rs. And if you are the only 'transport provider' then as a sarkaari babu you are toast. Well you may have a benaami business but that falls into the benaami act. And IT has even bigger draconian danda there already!
Now CONgoons go and deposit 10 Cr. in the bank. And they can claim 'donations'. And they withdraw 8 Cr from the bank and gave it to you the sarkaari babu skimming out from octroi. On record., CONgoons have deposited 10 Cr and withdrew 8 Cr for 'bonafide' expenses at a time when there is no major election going on anywhere. You cannot say that the 8 Cr. was paid to 'transport provider' for a earth shattering speech of #Pappu - since #Pappu was caught napping in LS. One lie will lead to another till it ties you up. Further., an investigation from ECI means that CONgoons will run around to clean up the paper trail. Imagine if you are the #Pappu and you visit the CONgoon HQ and say let us start a campaign and the answer comes that nobody is free since everybody is involved in 'Swach Paper campaign for CONgoon' - what is your reaction?
In effect, at the opportune time - your poll machinery is gummed up. While that is happening, NaMo goes one rally after another and you are shivering in your dhotis hoping that the ECI does not create further troubles.
PS: 'you' is third party 'you'.
