It is said ,
" When a
ship is about to sink , the rats desert it
"
Is Congress , a sinking ship ?
Here are some reasons to believe so :
> Some years
back , TMC deserted it
> Ever since
A Raja / Kanimozi episode , DMK was threatening to leave it .
This finally
happened last week
> On issue
of Telengana , TSR left sometime back.
Now Kiran Reddy is
about to
leave
> Last week
, Prafull Patel gave a hint that NCP is getting ready to leave ,
when he he
asked Congress to own up all of its past mistakes , starting
with 2G Scam
Earlier ,
Sharad Powar had made it amply clear that he won't work under
Rahul Gandhi
as a PM
> Having got
a " Clean Chit " from CBI in the dis-proportionate assets case
Mulayam has started distancing himself from
Congress
> Having got
special status for Bihar , Nitish has ceased to cozy-up
And now , to top it all , Congress workers ( motivated
by Sheila Dikshit / JP Agarwal ? ) , are
demanding that Congress withdraw its " Outside Support " to AAP
For a " Re-born Reformist " Rahul , it is a classical case of ,
" Dammed if
I do , dammed if I don't "
If he agrees to withdraw support BEFORE the swearing -
in ceremony scheduled tomorrow , he will
stand exposed as a fickle-minded and a foolish leader , who cannot be trusted ,
even by friends !
If he decides to withdraw support AFTER the swearing-in
, ( by voting against the confidence vote , mandatory for a minority government
), people of Delhi would hold HIM responsible for bringing down AAP government
And that would make Arvind Kejriwal , a martyr !
And further ensure that in a re-poll , AAP returns to
power with a thumping majority and Congress loses , even those 8 seats !
From the view-point of 2014 elections , such a total
rout of Congress in Delhi , would be a dream-come-true for BJP !
But I hope , Arvind - and his party men - realize that :
> Sinking of
the Congress-Ship , is neither their objective , nor a priority
Leave that
job to BJP !
> Delivering
on pro-poor reforms is their priority No ONE
> To be able
to deliver these reforms , it is necessary for AAP to assume
power -
then survive Confidence Vote to retain that power
> To remain
in power , they need continued support of Congress
> For Rahul
to quell his internal mutiny ( engineered by the sitting
Congress
MLAs who suffered at the hands of AAP candidates ) , AAP
must not push
him to the wall !
> If AAP
goes after the past corruption cases of defeated Congressmen
( - and
women ? ) with vengeance , Rahul will be
left with no option
but to
withdraw support
DEAR ARVIND
In a game of chess , you don't try to checkmate your
opponent in the very first move !
It has to be your FINAL / WINNING move !
If need be , please re-read your Chanakya !
