Mr Shenoy's article most certainly makes sense though it is indeed a little out of focus. The present Congress Government, with its sharp and solemn leader, Mr Manmohan Singh has been taking very good initiaives in better governance. The party too is being given good direction by a committed person, SoniaGandhi. The party is also giving opportunites to young and individualistic minds like Sachin Pilot or Milind Deora, and is certainly on to proactive progress. In this scenario, it is the Left, while professing that they safeguard the poor man's interest, is stuck in its old thinking and is needlessly causing obstacles in the Government's action-plans.
But the real harm comes from virus like Ram Vilas Paswan who try every trick in the book to get to power. In comparison, Laloo Prasad Yadav certainly has shown political maturity and will not be the reason for Mr Manmohan Singh's problems. But why are we, Indians, so naive that we do not gauge the machinations of people like a Ram Vilas Paswan or a Mayawati, whose sole role in Indian politics is to grab power at any cost ?
