By exhibiting a sense of propriety and taking a high moral ground, Mrs G has taken the winds out of BJP’s sails. A little late in the day, but effective for sure, at least for now!
A general election is supposedly fought on tangibles and promises. How it plays out in 2014, is a anybody’s guess – a matter of conjecture. Well nobody could second guess the mood of us electorate in 2009 and the hustling’s in the coming months can yet again throw-up the unexpected.
Am sure the fear of unknown stalks both the BJP and Congress, alike!
The Congress knows that the consistent taint smeared on its fabric by incessant scams and scandals will bog them down. And the BJP thinks it will waltz into Delhi because of the volume of people’s anger.
Well well …..
· For sure there will be a default vote caste against the Congress and obviously in favor of BJP
· For sure the BJP remains fractious and divided and undecided on who will lead in 2014. Just about everyone worth his or her salt in the BJP nurses ambition to lead the party into the coveted seat of power in Delhi. But our great leaders forget that Delhi cannot be conquered so easily now-a-days!
· For sure there is a high possibility of the great Indian middle class gravitating towards NaMo. But is he really the chosen one? But ‘dilli door ast’ for him right now
· For sure there is huge amount of anger against the ruling dispensation
· For sure corruption, economic deceleration and mis-governance are huge issues for the educated middle class
· For sure there is a massive unbridgeable divide between ‘India’ and ‘Bharat’, which is what the Congress still hopes to exploit
Ordinary folks like me are venting their spleen against the Congress misrule and but I am equally upset with the BJP because of its failed role as a responsible opposition – responsible to us the ordinary folks of this great country. I wanted to see a mature opposition pin down the government in parliament but also simultaneously be part of the legislative process in parliament so that the lives of ordinary folks of India and Bharat can be uplifted.
The choice for me the voter is between a fatigued treasury and an increasingly defocused opposition. It’s a messy “take it or leave it” scenario and either way it’s the aam adami of the India and Bharat who will loose out and continue struggling !
