The Congress Party on Monday emphatically said there was no change in its position adopted at the Shimla conclave and party president Ms Sonia Gandhi would continue to be its candidate for the post of the Prime Minister. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well if NDA can choose Vajpayee who has difficulty explaining what he was really up to during Quit India movement and who as Morarjee's External Affairs Minster was the only one of the Cabinet along with the PM ji to vote to de-nuclearize India, shouldn't we be checking and debating the past records of our leaders US style before we fall in love with the images that their PRs create or be eternally mesmerized by their gabbing around. Would any one in US give the nuclear trigger in the hand of person with such a record, except may be the Greens?
Isn't it a matter of much needed national debate to dicuss their practised past records and the motives, as compared to eulogizing people on professed ideology, non issues and for doing the daily routine. In the process knowingly adding more sycophantic praise to their tons of self praise, bloating their already huge self image even further .
After all there are 1 billion honest , patriotic Indians to choose from who may even give this country the much needed good governance. Why do we need to rely of shifty geriatric professional politicians who mostly win elections by the help of criminal elements ?
