Undoubtedly, Sonia Gandhi launched the most aggressive election campaign for selling her prime ministerial choice....Five years ago, the Italy lady, born there but married to Rajiv, from India, listened to her 'Inner voice' and refused to accept the prime ministership of India, but by no means was that a renunication of power. It turned out to be her first act in delegating duties. With the appointment of former finance minister Manmohan Singh as prime minister, what India had was a party leader who was more powerful than the head of government....Something that happened for the first time in our history...
Manmohan always acted as the congress CEO in the enterprise called the UPA but Sonia always called the shots. People have shown again, their acceptance, to Manmohan an economist and policy-maker an acceptable and unthreatening prime minister. Sonia the popular politician, working public rallies and talking about the needs of the aam aadmi....
Dont know why, I words of Rajiv echoes my ears...'Humey Dekhna hey key....' 'Humey Karna hey.....', pur, ve tho...ldekhthey hey dekthey, karney se pehley chal base....
And with all the family feuds, there is now four Gandhis, one mother and son in one part, the other mother and son in another.....With the arrest before the election, lossing in the first count and winning in the next count....Some are born great, some have greatness thrust upon them, some achieve greatness.....
My only sorrow at the time of counting was on knowing that Chidambaram lost, but then again he got through in recounting....
Indeed they are not just sitting still and wishing, taking up responsibilites, working....
The congress's odd couple tandem-team shared mutual faith, and the voters in the words largest democracy had the final say on the kind of shared leadership India needs....
Wanna know when did the general elections start in India??? It was in 1952.
I dream one day Rahul or Priyanka will come to the position. Like Obama we need a young & dynamic person to head our nation. seeing Ms.Pratibha Patil & Mr.Manmohan Singh, I feel shame on our country.
ReplyDeleteHow could Antony become a cabinet minister? and Why is Lalu not the railway minister?
ReplyDeleteHow could Antony become a cabinet minister? Because he was a member of the Rajya Sabha.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Lalu not the railway minister? Their pary did not get sufficient seat, was willing to give congress only 3 seats in their state. So congress went to election without their support. And now has taken the support of the Trinamool congress..
