<b>Politics reeks of vendetta</b> --Arun Nehru
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The institutional systems are being destabilised in order to settle personal scores. (Ms Sonia Gandhi and Ms Jaya Bachchan were best of friends at one point of time.) I think it is time both these ladies enlightened us about the reason for the break-up of their friendship. <b>Tax payers' money is being squandered on fresh byelections and crores of rupees will be spent on re-electing both to Parliament in the coming months</b>. In its panic to save Ms Sonia Gandhi from disqualification from the Lok Sabha, the Congress adjourned Parliament which was in session. This was done to clear the ground for issuing an ordinance. We must be grateful to the Left and the other allies of the UPA, besides the NDA, who forced her and the Congress to back track. In any case she had little option but to resign to maintain personal credibility.
Dual and triple power centres create chaos and confusion and even to people with limited political intelligence it is obvious that to invoke memories of the Emergency would be suicidal and result in terrible Opposition reprisals. The politics reeks of vendetta and violence. This is neither good for the party nor any individual.<b> What is more, things are deteriorating by the day. The Congress president who faces dwindling crowds at 10, Janpath will soon come to terms with this reality. In fact, I doubt whether she will go beyond Rae Bareli to campaign for her party.</b>Â <!--emo&:o--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ohmy.gif' /><!--endemo-->
