( I started writing this on the evening when AAP won Delhi, As such it has now become out dated as a news analysis .Nevertheless , facts and truth is everlasting !!!)
Congress Leadership in huddle to discuss reasons for the loss in recent Assembly Elections.Decides to introspect .
Rahul says we need to change the party
Sonia says we need to review " what we did " or " what we did not do " .
They seem to be like actors in a play when , the " asides " are heard / also seen by the whole of audience but the actors do not see or hear any thing and so are supposed to remain ignorant of what is happening .
They seem to be like three monkeys of Gandhi .
They see no evil , speak no evil hear no evil . In this case they speak no bad about congress , these hear no bad about congress , these see no bad about congress party .
They do not see any thing wrong with their party .
The writing has been an the wall and message has been getting clearer and clearer for the last couple of Years . It is ironic that most of that writing was written by the congressmen themselves. It started with Suresh Kalmidi and CWG scam . Then there was 2 G scam , then the coal gate scam , then the Adarsh and irrigation scams in Maharashtra though scams at state level , still ruled by the same congress and NCP. The scams kept tumbling out of the cupboard of congress led UPA government .
The public saw all about the scams and did not like it .
Still, what mattered most was not the scams by themselves but what caught and was noticed and noted by the public was, that in each and every case the govt tried to downplay the scope and the gravity of the scam .In fact the govt refused to accept that any wrong was done by the accused persons and strongly defended them . Those tactics were stopped only when accused persons position had become indefensible.
Congressmen did not see any thing wrong in it .The public saw and did not like it .
The Congressmen knew of how CBI investigations were remote controlled by the Govt . They saw saw it but believed others are fools and will not see any thing. But the public saw it . The Supreme Court saw it and called CBI a caged parrot. The public witnessed it all and did not like it .
The public saw how all the relevant files containing evidence about the scam conveniently kept getting lost and could not be traced . Maharashtra Govt claimed files related to irrigation department were burnt in accidental fire in Mantralaya . Files related to scams and solid evidence getting lost or destroyed in " accidental " fire was a fact which.The public did not like it.
They do not hear any thing wrong about the party .
Onion prices touched ₹ 100 / Kg . Vegetables became costly . Inflation remained in double digits for ages with no sign of coming down . Public cried out in anguish . Congress leadership did not hear that anguished cry . As if to rub salt in injuries ,on the prices of onions , No less a person then the Union Agriculture Minister said there is no likelihood of onion prices coming down for 4-6 weeks for ......blah...... blah..... blah..........reasons.
The public did not like it .
Anna Hazare gave a clarion call against corruption and enactment of strong Lokpal bill . congress heard but did not heed the call . On the contrary they ensured by hook or crook that the movement fizzled out and nothing was done about enactment of Lokpal bill
People did not like it .
After SC order on convicted MPs and MLAs UPA Govt led by congress introduced a bill and in an added measure issued ordinance to ensure immediate relief to convicted MPs and MLAs . There was an out cry from public against such a protection being proposed . The congressmen did not hear it. It is a different matter that eventually this move was withdrawn.
The public did not like it.
The reactions , actions ,responses of Ministers , spokesman for congress party after Pakistan returned the body of Saurabh Kalia bearing clear indications of torture marks
was not liked by the people .
The reactions , actions ,responses of Ministers , spokesman for congress party after Pakistan returned beheaded bodies of two Indian soldiers
was not liked by the people .
The reactions , actions ,responses of the Government , the Ministers , spokesman for congress party ,after Pakistan soldiers attacked our troops and killed four of our jawans and our Defence Minister gave a statement that they were terrorists in army uniforms and later retracting the statement
was not liked by the people .
The reactions , actions ,responses of the Government , the Ministers , spokesman for congress party , after Pakistan for almost more than a month , every day violated the cease fire agreement , shelled Indian positions and villages causing loss of life and property was not liked by the people .
The reactions , actions ,responses of the Government , the Ministers , spokesman for congress party after Chinese troops intruded a kilometer and half in Indian territory , wrote " China" on rock surfaces before withdrawing was not liked by the people.
The reactions , actions ,responses of the Government , the Ministers , spokesman for congress party after Chinese troops intruded moer than 14 KMs , established camp and remained within Indian territory before withdrawing
this was not liked by the people.
They do not speak the truth about the party or its leadership. Take for example Sharad Pawar ,now that he is almost certain that congress ship is going to sink , he boldly states that " strong leadership is required, public has rejected " weak " leaders . What was Mr Pawar doing all these years being a Cabinet Minister and kowtowing the policies of the same " weak " leaders .
this was not liked by the people.
The truth was that there was total paralysis in decision making process by the Government . So much so that this truth made head lines even in foreign media .Congress led UPA government refused to acknowledge this truth .
this was not liked by the people.
The congress led Govenment machinery had gone to sleep . There was poor or no governance at all a thruth recognised even by foreign media and Governments.
this was not liked by the people.
The acts of commission , omission and simply no action at all was not liked by the people.
Is it any wonder that the monkeys of Gandhaji were relegated to third Place .
Even bigger wonder is that Sonia Gandhi et all are trying to analyse reasons for the loss .
PM Velankar
