hi rahul, the reason i also felt why she was crying was because of these statements. "When everyone knew that the BJP was consolidating itself in Karnataka, why in January-February 2006 did 10, Janpath not do everything possible to maintain the alliance with the Janata Dal-Secular? When H D Kumaraswamy, Deve Gowda's son, was blackmailing the party to become chief minister the Congress high command should have been flexible.
The Congress's debacle in Karnataka began on February 9, 2006, the day Kumaraswamy won the confidence vote in the state assembly with the BJP's help. "
i thought/felt she was bemoaning the fall of Congress-JDS govt. i felt there was an undercurrent of sadness. but her advice though is spot on. hope congress acts upon that, because in democracy, it is very good to have strong 2 National parties. though not saying this out of love for Congress...:) i voted for the first time and lo... in my constituency my vote has really counted(travelled from hyd to blore). the candidate has trounced a very 3-times sitting MLA who was not that bad..(but i think was in a wrong party...:))
