ONCE BITTEN, TWICE SHY
After UPA got a thumping victory at the polls and Congress emerged as the single largest party, it is time for formation of a new government. With the people's faith restored in the Congress, the party seems to have an aura of strength and confidence which was absent in 2004 elections. The seemingly weak PM is all set to return to power and has already started picking ministers for his cabinet from his party and also Congress's pre-poll allies. But the big question here is that where does it leave RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav? Lalu had left Congress led UPA in midway alongwith LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan and joined hands with Mulayam Singh's SP to form the fourth front. After running heavy losses in the elections, Lalu is now regretting his estrangement with Congress, sulking over some comments made by a few Congress leaders and eyeing a cabinet berth. But will the Congress take RJD's chief betrayal in its stride and include him in the Congress? The answer might be no, but if it is yes it is going to be a reluctant one.

Well certainly very fabulously described. Peeking into the pool of reality, political affairs and criminal mentality have to create doldrums around some negatively criticising person to maintain an equilibrium in the society. Isn't it ?
ReplyDeleteyes i think so arnav.....n i find ur blog about music extremely fascinating!!!!
ReplyDeleteWith due respect to the above comments, I would love to supplement and add a new dimension to the abovementioned discussion.India's basic structure is a conglomeration of unitary and federal with a multi party system not a bye party system. The credit for the elections and the comprehensive victory for the UPA Government goes more to the regional parties that congress party.People had three choices (a)a secular party(b)communal party(c)unholy alliance.The reasons for loss of BJP-(1)Advani is not Mr Vajpayee (2)Too many Prime-ministrial candidates(3)Lack of intellectual sense and loads of EGO of Rajnath Singh(4) Projection of Mr Modi in betwwn as PM which was a tactful shrude step taken by insiders so that he will also be considered as a scapegoat along with Varun Gandhi after elections.(5)with such a vast number of muslims and minorities yo cant afford to play the old tricks (6)Arun Jaitleys and Sudhansu Mittals mid rift (7)Over confidence (8)Key advisors ditching party and secretly forming alliance with Trinamool in Bengal and loads of other factots. The unholy alliance is a complete mismatch Mayawati with Left Parties along with Deva Gowda, Chandrababu naidu doestnt gell well. Its like having spanish cuisine with desi golgappa. Most of the so called partners of 3rd front were with the NDA during their regime and statistically they lacked the numbers which defies logic.Prakash Karat and Brinda Karat never moved out of JNU. They lack the basics of Indian politics. They were the chief architects who created an instability and projected Mayawati as their PM candidate. At any given point of time Manmohan vs Mayawati is like an Aus-ireland tie. So the instability created by them left people with no choice but to vote for congress and the entire credit was been given to Rahul Gandhi. But I ask this question to myshelf What about those workers who have been toiling hard for tickets and working as bonded laboures of the party? Dont they deserve any bit of Credit? What about those guys without background or any foreign qualifications having strong credentials as compared to some Desi Babus sons and Daughters?Almost, 7 out of 10 Young MP's Son or Daughter are in Parliament and thats a cake walk for them. India needs leaders!People have voted for a change and in Todays time we dnt have a choice other that Congress party but I pray God that BJP party revive and get back their old charm so that Country can have an opposition who can be a watchdog of the democracy and always keep the Government on its toes. Every power needs a sanction and somebody to remind of their duties or else it becomes dictatorial or abusive. My final Comments people have not voted for Rahul Gandhi, people have voted for Manmohan Singh, His credibility, his personality, his guts and gusto and his rock solid stand on the Nuclear deal. Truely, SINGH IS KING.!
