With the elections over, and the mukhota being rejected – the raving right has decided that the only way it will grab power is by moving further right of a scale that most people already thought was fairly extreme.
The enfant terrible of the Sangh Parivar Govindacharya has objected to Sonia becoming PM. Sushma Swaraj is threating to leave Parliament rather than address Sonia Gandhi as Madam Prime Minister. Uma Bharati has threatened a national movement to prevent her from taking over.
Never mind the fact that the voters had no issues with her leading the country. They have the gall to object to Sonia Gandhi’s origins but behave in a way that flouts the wishes of the people. I would rather a foreign born person who follows our ways than a bunch born here and out of touch with our customs.
With Vajpayee being put out to pasture, Venkaih Naidu likely to lose his job – the vultures are flocking to take his place. The three most likely candidates have put their hat in the ring.
Other lunatics include Sanjay Nirupam -who said that they had “extended the hand” of friendship to Muslims who rejected it. and now it is time to revive the Hindutva Agenda.
As i blogged a few days ago in Kaun Banega Pradhan Mantri (before the results) – the pro’s and con’s of various political leaders becoming PM. Here is Sonia’s
Sonia Gandhi: the leader of the Congress, a woman, relgious minority and foreign born to the boot. We can shut up all against outsourcing by electing her as PM:). Pro’s Would have one the elections against all odds. If she can manage Congress infighting, managing an alliance would be a cake walk Con‘s: The RSS, the Bajrang Dal and others in the raving right would.spill onto the streets and prevent governance.
It will be truly interesting to see how this game is played out.
