"CONGRESS STANDS CORRODED"
Regional parties are making full use of the mess surrounding the UPA Government, especially the Congress, to strengthen their position and base.
The entire nation is familiar with how the UPA allies and regional parties are flexing their muscle because of the weak leadership of UPA-II. It is not only annoying but also a scary situation for the ordinary man. Since day one, the UPA-II Government has been rocked with scams involving its allies.
The telecom and other scams happened right under the nose of the Congress leadership. The row between the Army chief and the Government has not set a good precedent. It is the first time that the Army has had a verbal duel with the Government. For the aam aadmi, the Army is above everything. They are a class apart and politicians are no match when the question of integrity arises in the Forces. A soldier dies for the country’s honour. For the common man, it is not just the soldier who commands respect, even his family is worthy of respect. People salute those who are in the Forces.
The fact that the Forces have been in the news for all the wrong reasons is a shame. The Shimla Annandale land being grabbed from the Army for sporting activities by the Himachal Pradesh Government is unfortunate. Why could the Government not let the land be used to build family quarters for soldiers? What is the reason for constant attack against the Forces? They are the backbone of the nation. It is sad that the Army is being pulled into scams and controversies.
UPA-II has spoilt the reputation of the Congress. The MCD polls held in the Capital last week have also showed how the party has lost direction. The results of the Assembly elections held in Bihar, UP and Punjab have shown the preference of aam aadmi. It’s the silent frustration which the public was feeling that came out in the elections. UPA-II’s main gainers are regional parties and allies. Riding high on the Congress, they have made full use of strengthening their roots and weakening the Congress leadership. It’s a win-win situation for them. They are taking full advantage of the platform in Delhi and fight tooth and nail in the States to demolish the Congress from its roots. Price rise, inflation and corruption are corroding the Congress.
The Congress needs to stay in power at the Centre at all cost. One reason is that it is not used to sitting in the Opposition and most of decision makers are Rajya Sabha members who are used to power. After Anna Hazare’s anti-corruption movement, the public has concluded that the Government has no scruples and is corrupt from top to bottom.
The youth, today, is aware of what is happening due to the messages that are being spread by Anna and Baba Ramdev’s teams. They have exposed the Government’s double standards. Anna and Baba Ramdev have highlighted an issue that binds everybody in the country under one umbrella — the issue of corruption.
Strangely, the leaders are targeting those who have spread awareness rather than finding a solution to the problem. This is making the Government unpopular and the public angry. The regional parties are taking advantage of this. They are proving their mettle by working fast and delivering what they have promised. They are in touch with reality and know what sells. They don’t have any self-importance.
Under such a scenario, hats-off to the likes of Naveen Patnaik and Nitish Kumar. They are honest and humble and rule with a no-nonsense attitude.
