State of Indian Politics

For once, in my opinion, Vinod Mehta of Outlook has had a change of heart and decided to call a spade a spade when it comes to the Congress and its strongest ally Sarvshri Lalu Prasad Yadav. It was nice of him to acknowledge that he has been a great supporter of LPY when he says this about Lalu

“When he made his simple-minded wife the chief minister, we said, "Poor man, who else can he trust?" Meanwhile, Bihar fell off the map of India and its galloping anarchy did not merit discussion because, in a sense, Bihar was not part of India. Bihar was Bihar. I don't absolve myself or Outlook from spreading the aforementioned logic. In the last 15 years, consequently, we have allowed Laloo a very easy ride.”

Now that Lalu is a Central Minister and responsible for the budget of a mammoth organization such as the Railways who is going to ensure that the kind of incidents that took place during his regime in Bihar are not replicated in the Centre - specially the Railways ? In case our leaders keep on citing “compulsions of coalition politics” and continue in the same vain – GOD Bless Us !
