Missing Realism

This is my response to an article published online in the Business Standard. The original article is Here.

The singular misfortune of India, political pandering by unworthy politicians including those elevated to the highest post has manifested again. Without a shred of regret the PM attempted vainly to justify all misdeeds of his Govt and pass the buck to others. There was nothing new or true in what he said.

Whatever was new was not true and what was true was not new.

How unfortunate that one golden opportunity he had to connect with an expectant nation and give direction to bring things on even keel was squandered in an attempt to decry Modi and propagate Pappu. Calling Modi a disaster was the most disingenuous and unkind way of combating a man who is emerging as a leader of the masses. With this he has forfeited the only undiluted and genuine credentials of being a gentleman that had somehow survived. His uncompromising bid to praise and propagate the cause of the most unworthy, "the Family", especially the scion have left ash in the mouths of all indians endowed with average intelligence.How conveniently he overlooks the antecedents of Pappu whose past generations starting with Nehru to Indira Gandhi to his father only wrecked havoc on national growth and international standing amongst the comity of nations. That the Congress has repeatedly chosen to mock the average Indian is lost on him as for some strange reasons he has bartered every other quality of a good leader and a well meaning man, of any worth, at the altar of hanging on to power irrespective of how the history judges him. India certainly deserves better.

Hopefully this lame conference that lacked any conviction and was held to promote the one,"Pappu",has woken up India, to the real worth of the Congress and its leaders, to seek the change it deserves.
