What is the direction ?
by MuraliKrishna Vemuri on Apr 14, 2008 09:20 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

If I remember correctly, it was the agenda of "We cannot support a foreign lady as prime minister of India" that apparently made Sharad Pawar to split Congress and start a "Nationalist" Congress Party.
Today NCP says it is ready to support Sonia Gandhi for prime minister's position. I am confused if Sonia all-of-a-sudden became "non-foreign" origin lady in the eyes of NCP? If so, can they explain their stand with proper logic?
I think our politicians better watch out the direction in which they are giving statements.

Then there is no need to have a seperate party now. Even if it happens regularly, it doesn't mean opportunism and shameless behaviour can be justified.
