Congress deserves it
by madhu on Jul 21, 2008 11:11 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

I see a lot of people complaining about bringing down the government and putting personal gains ahead of national benefit.Is that not what politics is all about, what is new here. Has not the congress done this so many times in so many states like Andhra, Tamil Nadu etc. Did it not bring down the Chandrasekhar govt. giving a very flimsy reason that a police constable was spying on Rajiv Gandhi. If it is OK to bring down a govt. for such a trivial issue, it is OK to bring down a govt. over a questionable deal. Politics is about coming to power, whether congress or BJP. Can Congress survive without being in power for two terms. Had Congress not managed to stitch up some alliance and come to power in 2004, they would have been decimated. It is self preservation. BJP desperately needs to come back to power to preserve itself and this is the most opportune time to do that. Inflation is rising, people are completely disenchanted with the policies of the government. If they dont capitalize on this chance, who knows what will happen - inflation may subside, P Chidambaram will come up populist measures such as a free colour TV to every family in India. He may raise the income tax ceiling to 15 laksh per year or something so that no one pays tax. His logic is simple, if congress wins the elections, he will add riders to these promises or even take these back citing financial hardship or national security or some such crap. If congress loses, the NDA will have to hold good on thes
