'Nothing to do with Sonia'
Dr.Vijaya Rajiva(Haindava Keralam,08/08/2010)
Thus spake Vinod Mehta, editor of one of the leading liberal papers
in Bharat, called Outlookindia. He was speaking at the end of an NDTV
program on whether the UPA 2 Government was losing its grip.
Indeed, all the participants (including Mr.Mehta), except the Congress
member from the Rajya Sabha, expressed bewilderment that the
Congress Party had shot itself in the foot, to use Vinod Mehta's
expression. They have made a mess of their first year of an overwhelming
mandate.
Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad of the BJP spoke in his customary forceful and
forthright manner : the Congress is not only a sinking ship but also a
stinking one ! This was a reference not only to the corruption of the
Commonwealth games but also the of the Telecom Minister Raja's
mammoth scam.
Domestic issues of price rise and the economic downturn have hit both
the aam admi and the middle class. Foreign policy is in total disarray . . .
All participants, including Mr. Mehta expressed dismay at the Prime
Minister's silence. Shri Prasad concluded that it was baffling. He went
on to say that the silence may have something to do with the fact that
the PM had no political legitimacy, since he was nominated by the Congress,
and not elected by the people of India. That this technicality is allowed
in the Indian parliamentary procedure does not take away from the fact
that the PM is increasingly being seen as the silent figurehead of the
Congress Party.
It was at this juncture during the debate that Mr. Mehta made his
intervention saying: Nothing to do with Sonia.
What did he mean ?
Was he being 'gallant', was he expressing Bharat's age old tendency
to be hospitable to foreign born comers to India, was he protecting
Sonia from what he perceived to be the coming storm ?
Indeed, the storm clouds are gathering. The once glorious party of
the freedom struggle is floundering in an unprecedented fashion. Where
the Indian National Congress could boast of hundreds of luminaries in
the freedom struggle, the present day Congress has been reduced to
less than a handful of stalwarts, and reduced ignominously to have
resort to bringing in the widow of Rajeev Gandhi to bolster their
fortunes.
That act was one of desperation and has brought short term gain.
How long will that last ?
The once glorious party of the freedom struggle will not regain its
past prestige and may well go down once and for all from the national
stage. Careerists, opportunists, sycophants, corrupt adventurers, all
these have proliferated in the party and they will quickly leave the
sinking ship in due time.
And what about the albatross around their neck ? . . . . . . .
