Correct portrayal of the situation
by Tathagata Mukherjee on Aug 22, 2007 12:18 AM   Permalink | Hide replies


Well done Mr Shenoy. Many others like Sekhar Gupta of IE also wrote in detail about viscious divisiveness in Indian Politics.

This deal was easy for Congress if they engaged with BJP. But Sonia and MMS did NOT do that.

Its because, Sonia/MMS is in power today because of "BJP is untouchable" syndrome. They cannot show sagacity of PV Narshima Rao.

Its highly naive for Congress to think, they can push normalization, deal with China, Pakistan or USA WITHOUT BJP.

So, expect huge turmoil for next few years.

well said. shenoy has done a great job that was much needed with this article. he puts to rest the media created stupidity that lets mm singh hog the limelight for 91 reforms which squarely belongs to late pm pvn.rao. the bjp started the deal, for god's sakes. do you think congress even capable of starting something like this? and yet. congress wouldn't team up with the bjp. the sonia-das congress scorns bjp like it scorned pvn rao. if this agreement falss apart, it's all because of mms's and congressi bungling.

Its very easy to say that the PM should have taken theBJP in confidence but unlike the early 1990's were the BJP was listening to its leaders like Vajpayee and Advani today its not the same their leaders are all loud mouthed who belive that to win a debate you have to talk/shout at the top of your voice like Sushma and Arun Jaitely they all believe in just opposing and not in Nation Building you can talk to mature leaders and not to immature fools full of their ego.
