Congress runs out of Tricks.... Decides to boycott the Prime Minister

It seems business is not running as usual for the Congress party at least; after losing to BJP in the national elections; Congress seems to have run out of tricks in their bag of political wits. All along they have tried to mock the BJP led NDA's "acche din aane waale hai" "Good days are about to come" slogan, coined by Mr. Modi, who is now the Prime Minister. The tricks have led to further deterioration in Congress's position it seems, Congress tried to cement themselves, when finally Mr. Rahul Gandhi woke up in the parliament and created disruptions without any concrete reasons. They even tried playing the communal card against the BJP, but all in vain.

They finally understood that nothing much can be done, at least for now and they will have to bite the bullet and stay silent for a while. Mr. Modi's speech on 15th of August, came as a further blow and a few Congress veterans also praised the same, Mr. Jairam Ramesh, posted on his website that, "I have been saying that making India open defecation free should be a national junoon, a national obsession. When I was Minister of Drinking Water and Sanitation, we had launched the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyaan and now Mr. Modi is taking that forward with his Swachh Bharat Mission"

Finally it seems Congress has found a way to avoid the Prime Minister in public at large, after the incident in Haryana where Mr. Modi and Mr. Hooda (CM of Haryana) were sharing the dais, the public that was cheering for Mr. Modi wooed Mr. Hooda and the same was taken very well by the Congress Party, instead of doing an analysis of why such a thing took place they decided to boycott Mr. Modi during state functions, by asking Congress Chief Ministers not to share dais with Mr. Narendra Modi.


Congress seems to have forgotten that, Mr. Modi is not a mere Politician but the representative of 1/6th population of the world, that he has been elected  by a democratic process and not by force or anything. By boycotting the Prime Minister isn't the Congress sidelining the democratic process that was mainly constituted by the founders of the Congress itself. The congress party needs to understand that as a nation to grow all states need to work in unison and not in seclusion.

Here it seems like a repeat of the history at the end of Congress, when NDA came into power under Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, he started a program where all state CM's were to meet on a common forum and discuss the growth agenda for the nation. I remember reading about the same and a lot of Congress chief ministers also welcomed the idea, but after the first meeting Congress CM's were instructed not to attend any such forum held by the than Prime Minister Mr. A B Vajpayee. A Congress CM was quoted in the a prominent current affairs magazine on condition of anonymity that, "Madam Ji has instructed us not to attend the meetings any more"

It seems that the Congress party does not want India to come out of the loop of Political Agendas which only revolve around Roti, Kapda aur Makan (Food, Clothing and housing); as people of the nation we need to analyse what is happening and what is right or wrong, it is us the people of the nation who can bring about the change, a few steps in the right direction can result in tremendous growth. As people we need to ask our politicians to give up on party based differences and work towards a common goal of a developed India, a India which will shine bright, India whose future generations will be free from the tag of a developing nation and an India which will be united at every front when it comes to national integration....
