Hell hath no scorn than a government cornered

Govt to consider multi-member CAG:
Battered by various CAG reports on alleged scams, government says it is “actively” considering a proposal to make the official auditor a multi-member body.

Why?
Minister of State in Prime Minister’s Office V.Narayanasamy says Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) has become “more impatient”
Well, Now here is a 'patient' government with no convictions so far in any of the major scams: 2G,CWG,Adarsh, Coal mining scam.

An interesting suggestion
"If we go just by the CAG report being made final, no chief minister will continue" Mr.Narayanasamy said.

What does this mean for CAG?
Now a committee would be taking a decision in CAG. It is meant to hinder the decision making process in CAG.

Like they say
If you want to kill any idea in the world today, get a committee working on it. 
-Charles Franklin Kettering
Or in this case
If you want to kill an effective CAG , get a committee in it.

With all due respect, we are seeing the farce Public Accounts Committee has become. :)
