On backfoot, Cong looks for way out
As the 'prescient' Central agencies and 'all-knowing' Home Ministry wave the time-worn HuJI-SIMI placard and claim to provide prior intelligence inputs to State Governments about the designs of terror outfits, the country has been presented with a murky spectacle of blame game over Tuesday's serial blasts in Jaipur. 

Reeling under fierce attack from the BJP for scrapping the anti-terror law, POTA, and blocking moves by Gujarat and Rajasthan to introduce their State-specific Acts to crack down on jihadis and anti-nationals, the Congress has virtually washed its hands of the Centre's role in tackling the issue of national security and blamed the State Governments for not acting on the 'specific' intelligence inputs about impending terror attacks.

<b>The Congress leadership has reason to be worried about the political implications of the Jaipur blasts as they have come in the midst of electioneering for the Karnataka Assembly poll</b>. With Karnataka witnessing an unprecedented rise in terror incidents during the UPA regime, the Congress has been forced to shift the blame on the BJP for the blasts.
