With due respect to George Fernandez for all his past contributions, I wonder why he is contesting at all instead of retiring. The guy I understand is very sick. Do these politicians ever know that they have to yield to the yonger ones gracefully at some time in their life. Take Vajpayee for example, he never resigned his seat when he knew he is sick and cannot carry on. Neither did he attend the parliament nor did he do any work for his constituents. You then have the criminal MPs too who spent most of their time in airconditioned jails. This kind of dog in the manger politics is most vexatious in India.
