although just a blog, I am somewhat surprised that IBN has allowed the criticism.
Is Sonia Gandhi a dictator?
----
But why do I ask if the Congress is a dictatorial party? The question is what is dictatorship. In simple terms something that someone wants to do not giving a damn about the realities or the consequences. That's exactly what the Congress wants to do in UP. Or should I say Sonia Gandhi wants to do with Mulayam Singh Yadav. The Congress president wants Mulayam ejected out of his chief ministers chair in UP. Whatever be the cost.
It's a rivalry that is almost a decade old. Circa 1998. Lok Sabha elections over. Sonia Gandhi goes to Rashtrapati Bhavan with her team of advisors. She is beaming. She thinks she has kept the Gandhi tradition alive of ruling India. On her way out of Rashtrapati Bhavan, reporters ask her, " Madam are you confident of becoming the Prime Minister?" Pat comes the reply, " Of course, we have 272, and we expect more." It's a dialogue, which she has lived to regret. Because in exactly 24 hours since she claimed that she had the majority in Lok Sabha to become the Prime Minister, Mulayam Singh Yadav had thrown a spanner in her attempts. Having promised to support her initially, he realised he couldn't be seen to supporting a Videshi Bahu. From then on, the Samajwadi Party and the Congress have been sworn enemies.
