Indian politics
What a time the last 2 weeks has been in India! While Vajpayee govt's fall was unexpected, the drama that unfolded after that was all the more tuff to believe. Finally, Sonia Gandhi decided not to become PM.....and in turn received comparisions with the Mahatma! How pathetic newspapers like TOI, Hindu can get.
I had alwayz felt that for a person to be a effective PM he needs to have a strong public base. Haradanahalli Dodde Gowda Deve Gowda did not have it, neither did IKGujral. And no surprise their govt fell in no time. I see no reaon why Manmohan Singh's govt will not suffer the same fate. However, the optimist that I'm, I wud definitely hope for Sigh's govt to do well, inspite of the likes of Laloo, Paswan, Surjeet, etc. The biggest advantage for India is the return of the dream team of Singh and Chidambaram.
Here'z wishing the new govt, India's new PM and India good luck!
As you sow, so you reap.
