For once Rediff havw brought out a very exhaustive insight into the P-election.It ia inded very informative as also analytical.RK is right that BJP could have taken early initiative to back APLKalam in more forthright manner and worked on a serious fight.Perhaps Sonia outsmarted BJP who as usual seem to have missed the Bus and now are trying some salvage operation by supporting Sangma to team up with Patnaik,Jaya etc.But Sangma has limitations when it comes to attracting cross-voting.Even now they can think of some strong candidate ,if not Kalam some other prominent persons like say ...Ela Bhatt...Narayan Murthy...MS Swaminathan.....
AFTER ANSWERS LIKE THESE,HOW CAN ANYBODY TAKE THIS RASHEED SERIOUSLY???
How do you see the future of Sonia Gandhi? Rasheed Kidwai: she has once again shown her calibre. when it comes to dealing with alliances and allies, sonia is one step ahead of atal bihari vajpayee. she is a first class graduate from the university of life, i say
Kabeer asked: How can Congress ever hope to win 2014 elections with Manmohan as PM with all these scams badly ruining his name, though he is not personally involved? Dont you think a fresh face will help Congress? Rasheed Kidwai: i think congress 2014 script is now ready. they will tell the voters how economist prime minister (who did not belong to political dynasty) ran the country when rest of the world was passing through difficult time. on the plank of secularism, sonia-rahul will mobilize secular forces like mulayam and even share power with likes of nitish if situation demands just to keep narendra modi away.
so aam aadmi will forget price rise, gigantic corruption, criminalisation of politics, bad policies of goverment, etc.. and simply vote for congress again !!!
