| Yes, I am a sycophant, says Shinde | | Congress Or… | | Rustam
JAMMU, Aug 5: The overwhelmed and jubilant Sushil Kumar Shinde yesterday evening catalogued the reasons for his elevation in the Union Council of Ministers. He was given the sensitive portfolio of home affairs. He was made Home Minister the day half of the country and over 60 crore of its population, including people of Jammu & Kashmir, witnessed the worst-ever power crisis. That day not one but three grids became dysfunctional at the same time. Two days before his elevation, almost half of the country had witnessed a similar situation. That day the northern grid had become dysfunctional. It took the engineers more than 12 hours to restore power supply. He did not regret. On the contrary, he snubbed the countrymen and the media and patted his back. He said, unlike the United States which takes four days to overcome such a crisis, his ministry surmounted the problem in no time. Had it been a country other than India, he would have been sacked and shown the door. But India is India where such a failure is considered a qualification. In Sonia Gandhi's India it is not merit that matters; it is sycophancy that matters and the sycophants publicly and shamelessly acknowledge that they are indeed sycophants. Shinde is just one such sycophant.
"Yes, I am a sycophant," Shinde said in an interview to a news channel. "I am very pleased to acknowledge that I am a sycophant; I am loyal to Soniaji," he also said. "We have to be loyal to Sonia Gandhi, AICC president and UPA chairperson because she made me the country's home minister considering the fact that I am a Dalit," he also said. "It was Rajivji who was the first Indian Prime Minister to appoint Dalit Buta Singh as Home Minister and I am the second Dalit who has been appointed as Home Minister," he also said. "We are loyal to Soniaji because she takes care of Dalits, backward classes, minorities and marginalized groups," he also said.
Did he not lower the dignity of the office? He not only lowered the dignity of his office, but also lowered the position of India in the eyes of international community. He did not leave anyone in any doubt that it was not the merit but the sycophancy that helped him to occupy the office which once Sardar Patel occupied. Remember, sycophants never perform; they only mess up things. |
