When the left withdrew support on the nuclear issue, MMS deftly managed support and pushed through a Confidence motion. Whether it was money power or ideology, Singh became the King. This status he acquried after prolonged meekness and remaining in the shadow of the saree.
But he flipped again on the Sri Lanka issue when he meekly surrendered to the threats of the Southern Supremo.
Yesterday's newspapers report that Indian High Commissioner in Colombo will coordinate relief action. This is not acceptable, if true.
It was a wily Julius Jayawardane who manipulated an immature Rajiv Gandhi in committing Indian Army in Srilanka's internal strife with disastrous consequences. If India is worried about Tamils in Srilanka, what is wrong if Pakistan's ISI, Jehadis, etc are worried about Muslims in India in general and in Kashmir in particular?
Now Lalu is threatening to withdraw support on MNS issue. He threatens to stop trains in Maharashtra when trains and stations in Bihar are burning. Now it is his turn to be cajoled and appeased. Praful Patel sees merit in 'Son of Soil' theory. Is UPA working under a "UNCOMMOM MAXIMUM PROGRAMME:?
Elections are nearing. The UPA is no more a coalition but a bunch of mercenaries hanging together but fighting to usurp the same space. What about the country? The principal opposition party is silent. Why?
We have already burnt our fingers in helping create Bangladesh.
