The congress party's refusal to learn lessons

The editorial in The Hindu recently  “On putting dynasty before party,” rightly  echoes the feeling of lacks of traditional congress voters who  are still in a state of shock with the  poorest performance of the Congress party in this election. But what is surprising, is the utter lack of genuine effort to analyse and understand on the part of Congress leaders about  the real reasons for the anger of their voters who were forced to vote for other parties. Now it is clear, that as long as sycophancy dominate in the  working committee discussions , the voice of it’s  genuine members who want to revive the glory of the party by all costs  would be stifled. any body who dares to talk about the performance of Rahul Gandhi are severely condemned and action is to be taken against them so that dissenting voice will not be heard . This type of undemocratic functioning will not help if they want to bounce back to their past glory . Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi should realise that, the people who have been repeatedly voting for the congress party for their secular credential and pro poor image so far,  voted for other parties  this time because, they could not  digest and accept Rahul  Gandhi as future PM  because , he nether has the charisma and leadership  quality of Nehru or Indira Gandhi or even Rajiv Gandhi to a certain extent nor has he demonstrated so far ,  his political maturity , wisdom and capacity to lead this nation of 1.2 billion .Local party leaders are to be consulted in the selection of candidates for general and state elections and grass root party worker's hard labour has to recognised. Everything will be decided by "High Command " means discouragement to all the other layers of party leaders and workers . By interacting with few Dalit families and staying in  their huts overnight and sharing food and tea with them   means nothing and will not bring in votes to congress party .  These acts are childish but, praised by  sycophants. These people mislead the leaders and they should become cautious of these elements who will help in burying the Congress party .

The Hindu editorail on Man Mohan singh

I appreciate the  neutral and justifiable analysis of the PM Man Mohan Singh’s performance during the two terms of the high office in the Hindu editorial last week . The high editorial standard of the Hindu is proved once again in listing out his achievements in the fields not generally covered by the media particularly in foreign relation. It is very sad that a man of impeccable integrity , scholarship and dignity in political and personal conduct should be attacked so very crudely by the BJP on every occasion of  conflicts of interest between them and the congress party. The electronic media is  the main culprit  in not highlighting his achievements in international relationships ,  concrete performance in international forums and  his ability to  command respect   among world leaders by his patient and sagacious ways of dealing with contentious issues . They played the role of media partners in shaming the PM mercilessly even on matters not connected with him. They have totally forgotten that silence also is a powerful weapon sometimes when bombarding  goes  beyond a limit . He is constantly blamed for policy paralysis of his government by the BJP, conveniently forgetting  that the total non cooperation of the principal opposition party, the alliance partners and  the state governments headed by leaders  of the regional parties has also contributed significantly for policy and progressive reforms paralysis . Regarding the mystery over his tolerance of the second and third power centers blocking the exercise of his assertive leadership actions and bearing the blame of the “protector of corrupt”, he alone can explain may be through an a autobiography in the near future
