Two auctions

Two auctions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
One is for the coal blocks. The allocation done by the then UPA government was cancelled last year and SC ordered to auction them. The auction is going on and the bidding amounts proves that the coal blocks were indeed allocated at under rates. So the revenue loss for the exchequer is about to get compensated after the auctions are over.

The next auction is for designer coat suit with name printed worth 10 lakhs. The fund collected through auction is going to be invested to clean ganga. 
Does the ends justify the means?? With 75% of countrymen barely sustaining themselves with $2 per day, was it necessary for the executive head of such a country to wear such an expensive suit at first place. 

If auctioning the suit and investing the amount to clean ganga will purify the sins, then auctioning the coal blocks and compensating the exchequer too must absolve one of the crime committed. Can a theft or corruption be undone just by recovering the assets without any other punishment?? Doesn't make any sense at all.
