Today, I read in the newspapers about ...Thank you.<br /><br />Today, I read in the newspapers about the Report of the Anthony Committee on reasons for the debacle of Congress Party in the last General Elections. The report has praised the "painstaking campaign" by Sonia and Rahul and predictably given both a clean chit about the defeat. It has blamed the Government led by Dr. Manamohan Singh for the defeat!!! The poor scapegoat!<br /><br />It may be recalled here that after the death of Jawaharlal and Lal Bahadur Shastri, the senior-most Minister in the Cabinet, Guljarilal Nanda, on both the occasions, was sworn in as the Acting Prime Minister. Later, elections were conducted in Congress Parliamentary Party and Lal Bahadur Shastri and Indira Gandhi, respectively, were elected as Leader and then sworn in as P M. However, after the assassination of Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi was strait away sworn in as the P M. Pranab Mukherjee was then the senior-most Minister. <br /><br />.The Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412404735122453896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455656556299603460.post-38900567978458598532014-08-14T17:37:15.903+05:302014-08-14T17:37:15.903+05:30A nice take on the dynastic politics, Sir. I am no...A nice take on the dynastic politics, Sir. I am not sure whether we can imagine any benefit of dynastic politics, and that too, of the likes of Congress. A man of the "caliber" of Mr. Rahul Gandhi is fit to run a playschool, not a country. However, the surprising guts of the Congress men and women to portray him as the Prime Ministerial candidate, tells us a lot about whats going inside the party. There is Female Ringmaster inside the party, and she is the one running the circus.<br /><br />Nicely written sir. You got a new follower! :)Nikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510652394892409625noreply@blogger.com
