Games Politicians Play!

This has reference to the news reports regarding the fall of J&K Government (July 8), poaching of MLAs by ruling BJP in Karnataka to safeguard its throne and crown and the Left parties’ decision to withdraw support to the UPA Government at the centre are indicating that the people’s representatives are busy in keeping each other at tenterhooks. Instead of finding solutions to the pressing problems of the people and to provide good governance at the time of crisis, they are making mockery of democracy and insulting their constituents who have elected them to power assuming that they will work towards betterment of their respective constituency and its people. We, the voters have to learn lesson from this expensive (spent crores of taxpayers’ money in conducting elections) political drama and show the place to the “camp changers” in the ensuing assembly bye-election in Karnataka (due to the resignation of MLAs elected 40 days back!).

Lett is Left Out! - Letter to Deccan Chronicle

This has reference to the ongoing imbroglio on N-Deal. The`US bashing and China praising’ communists are left out with no choice now. They have been telling their major partner (Congress) in UPA that toe the line, else face the consequence. But they are getting back the same from their partners (Buddha, Basu slam Karat – July 7). Over a period of time, whether it is at the national level or at regional level (for example, in Tamil Nadu they always ride on one of the two Dravidian parties depending on the situation), the Indian Leftists’ ideology is getting eroded. They are always indecisive and becoming opportunists. Considering the hue and cry on N-Deal, it seems that their main motive is to bring down the Central Government or put them under check rather focusing on their favourite subjects – inflation, price hike etc. concerning the common man. The dissent within Left parties may shatter Comrade Karat and his sycophants’ dream. The myth of Left Unity is getting exposed and The `Counter Point’ (July 7) was superb!

N-Deal and UPA!

This has reference to the ongoing confrontation on N-Deal amongst all political parties. If Mulayam Ji and his party colleagues believe that the deal is in the interest of the Nation then why they are cunning for the heads of Finance Minister and the Petroleum Minister. At the time of economic crisis (inflation, price rise etc) the coalition partners, must extend their fullest support to their major partner, Congress party, to overcome the crisis and prove the world that `Unity is Strength’ and UPA means `Uninterrupted Power Alliance”. This will help them to put up brave face when they approach people during election time. The Chief Minister of UP, Ms. Mayawati, uttered a pearl of wisdom that the N-Deal is “anti-Muslim”. In that case, what about Muslim countries who have the Nuclear arsenals? Are they anti-minorities of their countries, according to her?
