Quote:Thereââ¬â¢s a lesson in this for the Congress which has come to believe that trickery and deceit, coupled with gross abuse of power, can help dislodge State Governments over which it has no control. The level to which the Congress can stoop is as evident from its chicanery in Karnataka as its misuse of agencies of the state in Gujarat. That the Congress is bereft of all vestiges of morality and ethics is demonstrated by its crude attempts to topple the elected Government of Karnataka, an evil enterprise in which the Governor is complicit. Similarly, in Gujarat the Congress stands denuded of all values that are integral to democracy: The people have given a fitting reply to the shameful manner in which a compromised CBI has been unleashed on Mr Modi, his colleagues and upright senior police officers to harass and intimidate them and tarnish the image of the BJP. Ironically, the ill-conceived ââ¬Ëstrategyââ¬â¢ of the Congressââ¬â¢s ââ¬Ëhigh commandââ¬â¢ has not only horribly misfired, but also exposed the partyââ¬â¢s publicists in sections of the media: Both deserve no more than ridicule. Having said that, Mr Modiââ¬â¢s spectacular victory in Gujarat is not without a lesson for his colleagues elsewhere in the country ââ¬â they could learn a thing or two from him on political management and good governance. For example, had Mr BS Yeddyurappa emulated Mr Modi, the Congress would not have succeeded in destabilising his Government.
