A Nightmare that will not be
Sensing defeat the Defence Minister A.K. Antony cautioned the left front that ‘Secular’ forces may have to team up again to keep the BJP out. It is clear that the Congress will be restricted to a two digit figure. It’s only hope is to prop up the third front and support it from outside.
Third front is a failed Idea. It’s government that won’t last beyond a few months. In terms of governance quality it is a Nightmare. Is the Congress party hoping to repeat this “failed Idea”?
Antony’s statement emphasizes the need for voters to realize that for political stability and in National interest, it is necessary to give to the front runner NDA a last minute push so that NDA has a clear majority on its own.
The Majitha Rally
Punjab Minister and Akali Dal leader Bikramjeet Singh Majithia organized a massive Akali-BJP rally in my support today. The rally was addressed by Shri Prakash Singh Badal, Kamal Sharma, Bikram and myself. In the rally it was mentioned that Punjab and Chandhigarh had given five Ministers in the central government. I started counting who these five minister were.
Ashwani Kumar had to resign under dubious circumstances. Pawan Bansal resigned along with Ashwani Kumar under equally shameful circumstances. Manish Tiwari has chosen to keep out of elections due to ‘Medical’ reasons. Mrs. Santosh Choudhary has been denied a party ticket. Not a great Showing.
