Third Front: Story of Incompetence and Betrayal
Third Front has come together with the likes of Dewe Gowda, Mayawati, Communists and Chandrababu Naidu sharing bed with each other. The regional satraps have joined hands with the Communists with the hope that they will get their chance of lifetime to become the PM of India.
If in modern times there was a Jaichand in India - then IK Gujral may well stake a claim for the top candidate of that genre of traitors.
Mayawati, unashamed fool as she is, has even gone ahead and staked the claim to be the PM candidate from the Third Front. We have seen THREE thoroughly undeserving and shameless people become Prime Ministers from this bunch of people - VP Singh (Dec 1989 - Nov 1990), Dewe Gowda (1996-97), and IK Gujral (21 April 1997 - 28 November 1997). The first two were certified goons, but the third guy was supposed to be an intellectual - but even he couldn't get away from this lure and staked a claim to mess the country up at that time and finally made one decision for which India may well rue for years and decades to come![1]
It has come out in Indian news that I K Gujral during his tenure as PM, as part of his doctrine, wound up the Research and Analysis Wing's - India's external intelligence agency - covert operations in Pakistan. Acting in the belief of earning 'goodwill' of Pakistan, gave details of R&AW assets in Pakistan. It has been alleged that this led to physical elimination of R&AW human assets through extra-judicial means by Pakistan's intelligence agencies. This has been severevly critized in the light of the November 2008 Mumbai attacks and signifies the final futility of his doctrine - belief in the 'inherent goodwill' of openly hostile neighbors. This is his defining legacy.
The first one - VP Singh, became the PM with the backing of BJP and the last two through the backing of Congress. read more »
A Dream Manifesto for Indian General Elections 2009
Dear, dear fellow countrymen!
No day could be more auspicious to share with you certain concernes regarding the coming elections which I and a few of my friends have in our minds keeping in view the future of our great country.
On the one hand, recalling our mastery in the software designing field in the last few years, our economic surge on the world scale, our winning the first-time gold and other medals at the last olympics and to top it all our taking the Hollywood world by storm today by winning 9 straight Oscars one is left in no doubt that the time of India to regain its ancient glory and be one of the leading countries of the world has arrived.
While on the other hand, from clouds of anarchy and instability in our neighbourhood made more monstrous by the possibility of nuclear weapons slipping into wrong hands leading even to the possibility of making the area an arena for a third world war, to the possibility of more and more Mumbai-like terrorist attacks as a consequence, to the almost uneducated, self-centered and criminal-like behaviour of most of our politicians sends a shiver down one's spine as to whether this country can remain even united not to talk of its becoming great.
