Moral Decadence, Congress sinking faster than the Titanic

Celebration time for India as it’s for the first time that the country is voting with its head and conscience to elect a workable Govt. Major Upheaval in voting pattern, driven by ruffled sentiments, was seen on two earlier occasions. Once after the emergency in 1977 and later due to the sympathy wave generated by the assassination of Indira Gandhi in 1984. Willy nilly the Congress was in the eye of the storm on both occasions. This time again the Congress is responsible for generating a tsunami of people’s anger due to its malfeasance, malgovernance, stupefying misinterpretation of reality, partisan delusion and apathy for the common man.  The self inflicted injury has generated the” Modi wave”, which has galvanized the youth and the educated to get over their stupor and use their right to vote for a workable Govt led by someone  who will be firm, live by his word and honest deeds. Development, accountability and all else that comes with good governance will follow.

  I really wonder where to start with the sorry state in which the Congress leaves the nation. Suffice to sum up that it was Opera bouffe, of the tainted UPA 2, led by the Congress steeped from head to toe in the self generated swirling currents of rampant corruption. Blatantly they unleashed unviable and unworkable Schemes like MNREGA, NREGA, JNNURM, and Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana etc that debilitated the nation by squandering billions and denuded the exchequer engendering Mass unemployment, abject poverty, lack of education, health care and basic infrastructure. Over 700 million people live an impoverished life in this country.  

 Unfortunately for the 1.3 billion Indians their Govt, as revealed by Sanjaya Baru, was led by a stooge, mercilessly driven by the Machiavellian manoeuvering of a wily lady chasing the chimera of a single point agenda to elevate the heir apparent to his rightful position. The consequences to by borne by hapless billions who placed their faith in this group of baboons, the Congress.

Despite the Herculean efforts made by Diggy and his acolytes to hide RaGa under the veneer of a Vice President of the party, his ineptness, naivety, incompetence and disconnect from reality are so vivid that even a blind can sense them from miles. So why is the entire Party treating him with a deference that borders on obsequiousness? What happened to the scores of intellectuals and highly experienced politicians like Shashi Tharoor, Mani Shankar Iyer, Jairam Ramesh and Abhishek M Singhvi? Why were they hesitant to call a spade a spade (a dud, an underachiever an underwhelming over pampered and ignorant brat) and allowed the anchorless ship drift towards obscurity.  All that one heard, 24/7, from the likes of Jayanti Natrajan, Renuka Choudhary, Oza (empowered group of women; the favourite tag line of RaGa) was “Rahul Jeeeeee” has great ideas, is very hardworking etc etc.

Writing is clear on the wall .There is no place, in the Congress, for leaders with a foresight, vision and integrity. They belong to a distant past. It is proposed to be a one man show irrespective whether the ship sails or sinks. Given the outstanding antecedents of the Shehzada, the Congress has already hit the depths of despair? Post elections it will achieve obscurity much faster than the Titanic did in 1912.
