Bad Time For Congress

JAMMU, Nov 17: The Congress would lose the next general elections across the country. It may not win even hundred Lok Sabha seats. AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi is unlikely to click. He has no control over his tongue. He courts controversy whenever he opens his mouth. AICC president Sonia Gandhi is not keeping well and, hence, she would not be able to play any role. She is unlikely to campaign in the coming assembly elections. The Prime Minister has failed to deliver and maintain price situation at a reasonable level. He is not asserting. He seldom interacts with media persons and whenever he meets them he says he could not live up to the people's expectations because of compulsions of coalition. He is not a vote-catcher because he is not a man with experience even at district level. He has bungled as far as tackling Pakistan and eliminating the scourge of terrorism is concerned. He has been bungling ever since his Havana visit and enacted Sharm-el-Sheikh after Sharm-el-Sheikh and further complicated the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. He has outraged the nation saying dialogue and terror could go hand-in-hand, as also saying that Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani "is a man of peace". In other words, the Prime Minister, like the AICC president, cannot come to the rescue of the Congress party.
The 2G spectrum scam, the CWG scam, the Adrash Society scam and so on have all dented the Congress image. It's all corruption. Over 90 out of every hundred rupees are going into the pockets of those controlling the establishment and other institutions. The nation is getting just crumbs. Swami Ramdev, Anna Hazare and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar are after the Congress and they have the ability and capacity to harm the Congress party across the country. Their fight against corruption has already electrified the situation in the country.
The Congress-led UPA Government has no foreign policy of its own and it is the United States which is guiding and influencing the Indian foreign policy. The internal security is in a shambles and no one really knows when and where Pakistan-sponsored, abetted and trained terrorists would strike and bloody and convulse the Indian political scene. The Home Minister, who is in-charge of internal security, is in the dock. He could be charge-sheeted like former Telecom Minister A Raja. Subramanian Swamy is after him and he has with him certain documents which could make the Supreme Court to bring him to justice. The Foreign Minister is not really competent to lead the foreign office. He has become a laughing stock. The Finance Minister is helpless and he consistently says that he has no readymade formula to control prices. The Agriculture Minister is simply interested both in money and cricket. He doesn't care even if hundred starving farmers die and commit suicide in one day itself alone. The corporate houses are running a parallel government and the Prime Minister, the Finance Minister, the Petroleum Minister and Deputy Chairman Planning Commission say that they have no control on the oil companies and it is for them to increase or decrease the oil prices. The Congress and the UPA are interested in saving the collapsing Kingfisher and not in public welfare. Over 80 per cent of the Indian population lives from hand to mouth and the Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission, says that those who earn Rs 32 daily are not poor. He, like others at the helm, is so insensitive. The Defence Minister is quite competent and exceptionally honest. But what could he do to save the sinking Congress barrage. Besides, there is the language problem. He can play role only in his parent state as well as a couple of Southern states. But, again, his problem is that the Congress is in a very bad shape in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and even Karnataka.
Then, the Congress has spokespersons and general secretaries like Digvijaya Singh, Rashid Alvi, Renuka Choudhary, Shakeel Ahmad and Manish Tiwari. They irritate even the most patient listeners. They are so arrogant and uncouth. They have no argument. Since they try to defend the indefencible, they miserably fail and become objects of contempt and ridicule. Instead of protecting and advancing further the Congress interests, they only cause more harm to the party.
One can go on cataloguing the factors which are working against the Congress party across the country, but it is neither possible nor desirable to catalogue all those factors in one short story. Suffice it to say that a very strong wind is blowing in the country against the Congress. It is obvious that the BJP and a few regional parties would gain substantially, with the Congress biting dust. The outcome of the forth coming assembly elections in five states, including Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, would determine who would dislodge the Congress-led UPA government and rule the country. Still, however, one can say that the Congress has outlived its utility.
