Couldn't find any thread on the current UPA govt. So posting in this thread...
Carry on Doctor, but not this way
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->...
If the UPA, led by Manmohan Singh, cannot function as it should, the Prime Minister has two options before him: either he should state his agenda and deliver the goods or he should step down and let someone else deal with the outside force of 60.
The Congress Party has two options as well: either run India, energise it with the opportunities and vitality it deserves, or sit in the Opposition. This present wishy-washy governance is corrosive in this day and age. We can all see the Left trying desperately to work an alliance with some UPA partners, Mulayam Singh, Chandrababu Naidu and other such players who are masters at the political jig rather than good governance, and who will do anything to sit in the treasury benches for however short a while.
The Congress should encourage this predictable and rather silly political game. They should sit in the Opposition, gear the party at the grassroots, and when the possible, motley coalition that seems to be on the cards disintegrates some months into their tenure, force an election. They may well score 200 plus. If they carry on this way, diluting themselves and losing their self-respect and, therefore, the respect of the public, they could well descend to double digits.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
