The truth behind their tall claims

A B&E analysis of the various failings of the UPA and the truth behind their tall claims

As recently as March 2009, Manmohan Singh’s government has bludgeoned a government out of power in Meghalaya. Such brazen trampling of constitutional niceties is reason enough to believe that the Congress should never get a majority in the Lok Sabha.

The really sad thing is the manner in which investigative agencies have been used often in a crass and petty manner to settle scores. Jog your memory folks and recall how Amitabh Bachchan was hounded by the tax guys even when he was hospitalised. And do you remember how Jaya Bachchan was thrown out of the Rajya Sabha by petty Congress plotters who actually ended up embarrassing their own leader Sonia Gandhi? And look at how the CBI has been made to contradict itself case after case to suit the political ends of the UPA government. The CBI says that there is no case against Mayawati when the UPA is wooing it. It says there is no case against Mulayam Singh Yadav when it supports the government. First, the CBI is OK with Sanjay Dutt getting bail. Then it is vehemently opposed to the man being allowed to contest elections.

The tragedy is not that Manmohan Singh has allowed all this to happen. The tragedy is how he and UPA strategists expect you and me to believe that he is the ultimate Mr. Clean. Surely, even media pundits with short memories can’t be so naïve. The other and even more dangerous failure is the manner in which the UPA government has hopelessly entangled the problem of terror with the problems faced by Muslims in India. There has not been a single honest attempt to create opportunities for the Muslim community to leverage on education, healthcare and the rapidly growing economy to make a better life for their children. Rather, it has been a repeat of the monumental Shah Bano fiasco when the UPA government has tacitly encouraged Muslims to feel that they get a raw deal in India. It was grotesque and bizarre watching senior Congress leaders tacitly encouraging the theory that the Batla House encounter in which Inspector M.C Sharma was martyred was actually a staged and ‘fake’ encounter to kill innocent Muslims. Equally shameful was the manner in which the Malegaon bomb blasts were leveraged to ‘prove’ that Hindu terrorism is as much a problem as ‘Muslim’ terrorism. Ask yourself an honest question: why else would Manmohan Singh agree to nominate a tainted cricketer like Mohhamad Azharuddin to contest Lok Sabha elections from Moradabad in UP when the man has lived all his life in Hyderabad?
