These people talk more like op-ed writers not politicians. Obviously any such politicians are bound to suffer where it matters.<BR/><BR/>Dosabandit, <BR/>I don't know much about Rajni. Manmohan may have been a bureaucrat but one gotta step into the shoes one is handed over. He hasn't matured much as a politician; he shouldn't be occupying that seat because it's feckless without someone who knows how to utilize the bully pulpit.socalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327883033805273953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469659744675541243.post-63480193342795027242008-05-20T11:31:00.000-04:002008-05-20T11:31:00.000-04:00You forgot 'Political Saint' (bah!) by Rajnikanth....You forgot 'Political Saint' (bah!) by Rajnikanth.<BR/><BR/>Most people forget that Manmohan is only a bureaucrat (and a loyal one at that) who was smuggled into the parliament via Assam falsely claiming his residence there.<BR/><BR/>Lip service has been his hallmark. Sermons is all we get from him. You did a better job in this post than my own previous attempts on the same.

The Congress (and the media persons who are blatant Congress sympathisers) do not want the opposition to raise any issues - saying that they are politicising them! Now, if a "politician" raises any issue, it is bound to be "politicised". <BR/><BR/>So what is the Opposition supposed to do? Keep quiet? Will they be doing their duty?<BR/><BR/>The other pet argument that the Congress has is to counter any point by the "They did it too" factor. For e.g. they lost the Delhi elections due to onion price rise, the foreign minister escorted the terrorists to Kandahar, there were many terrorist attacks in NDA regime, the BJP chief was caught taking bribes on camera... blah blah... so they have no moral right to raise these issues!<BR/><BR/>Arre baba, as an "aam aadmi" how do I care if the earlier govt too had shortcomings. Do two wrongs make right?Ravindrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870408087886941417noreply@blogger.com
