The Great Indian Political Debate - 3

[ravish]

All those who saw the swering in ceremony at Rastrapati Bhawan last evening on the TV or on being present may not have missed the sad face of our Leader of Opposition- as if it was the end of the world.It is perhaps the reflection of the state of affairs within the BJP after its defeat in the elections.

The spanner in the wheel by the DMK took away the smile in the face of the Ruling Party to some extent. It is the direct result of the Prime Minister’s effort to prevent the arm twisting by the DMK. How long the Congress will be able to resist the pressure and to what extent , it is only the time that will tell us. The Congress’s move to keep the key development oriented portfolios with itself is a very correct move. It may result in speedy implementation of the developmental programmes aimed to improve the lot of the poorer section of the society. The only exception has been the expected induction of Tirnomool Congress members as MOS in various key Ministries that can directly intervene in West Bengal to contain the Communists.
Let us hope lots of younger blood is inducted in the next round of Ministry making on Tuesday. Hopefully by that time the DMK will take a decision and we may see Shri Maran once again as IT Minister.
