<b>Jokers in the UPA pack</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->During the polls, the performance of a Government is judged more on the basis of its failures than successes. There are a large number of unsuccessful Ministers in the Manmohan Singh Government; however, this particular notebook seeks to do an analysis of the jokers in the UPA pack.<b> Before I name the jokers let me tell you what does dictionary say what a joker is? âAny method, trick, or expedient for getting the better of another,â says the dictionary."</b>
There are three such obvious choices in the Manmohan Singh Ministry involving three very prominent faces handling three prominent portfolios.<b> The obvious first is Railway Minister Lalu Prasad.</b> He is now talking about starting Bullet Train between Patna and New Delhi .
The Bullet Train can wait. Yadav should be asked to first take a ride in the Patna-New Delhi Rajdhani and realise for himself what he has done to the hospitality service provided by the Indian Railway. Reels of newsprint have now been spent on Yadavâs misdeeds even by those media houses which were initially bought over by his account book jugglery declaring that the Railways were running into profit.
The next of course is the <b>psychopath destroyer of institutions â Anbumani Ramadoss</b>. In the five years that he handled the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, he only courted controversy. He did not conceive or visualize anything new, did not allow the plans sanctioned by the NDA Government to take off and destroyed institutions of excellence with his parochial outlook.
To allow him a free hand has been the biggest folly of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. But the <b>Prime Minister doesnât hold himself responsible for any of the misdeeds of his Cabinet colleagues</b>.
<b>The third person of course is Minister for Woman and Child Development Renuka Chowdhary. </b>
This television savvy Minister with her each appearance on the TV comes across as a cantankerous person given to only quarrels and no work. Can a responsible Minister ever give a call like âPub Bharo ?â It would be appropriate to bring the charge of encouraging alcoholism against her. I do not know if the Minister, who projects herself as an educated and progressive person, is aware that encouraging alcoholism is against the Directive Principles of State Policy as enshrined in our constitution.
Her contribution in effective functioning of her socially crucial Ministry has been negligible. She has been only visible whenever there has been a ruckus created by the saffron renegades matching their misplaced machismo with her equally misplaced uttering.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
