Dr APJ Abdul kalam saab is leaving behind him a Gap in Rashtrapati Bhavan which he alone could fill. Certainly NOT Mrs Patil.
Sonia's gamble to label PPatil's candidature as a new Era heralded by her in the Indian polity has fooled none, since this name came up only as a compromise & LAST RESORT. "Fissal padey toh Har Har gangey !"
Being an alien, Sonia wont be familiar with the ageold Maratha strategy of 'Guerilla Warfare', which was adopted successfully by Shivaji & subsequent maratha Generals.They wont fight face to face, but would attack from behind or the side @ unexpected places & times.None of Sonia's advisors (?) are marathas & hence they know little about these Strategies.A few recent examples--
Sharad Pawar was leading the first delegation which went to request Sonia to accept the PM's post . She declined @ that time & PV Narasimha Rao became the PM. Next time when the issue of selecting the PM arose, Pawar questioned publically as to how a foreignor could lead the nation .Sonia expelled him from the Congress Party .He founded his "Rashtravadi" party to oppose her rise . Another somersault & he joins her Ministry shamelessly. But no Maratha has forgotten , much less forgiven that Sonia has kicked their supreme maratha leader out of Congress. Another maratha,late shri YB Chavan was initially just a stooge of Morarji Desai . The moment he acquired stability @ Delhi, he openly defied his Mentor.Guerilla Tech again !
