Is Congress leadership has conceded General Election 2014

16 03 2014 DSCN3738
Many Congress central leaders fear lower house election and their fear is out from their  private halls to public domain but the scion of Gandhi-Nehru family put on brave face and said after  ten years in power “there is a certain amount of anti-incumbency against us”, the Congress campaign chief, nevertheless, disagreed with senior party leader and Finance Minister P Chidambaram’s view that the party was an underdog and faced an uphill task.
Ghulam Nabi Azad Federal minister too has shown his discomfort to contest the elections.Most of the ministers in private feel that Anti Congress wave exists but wait for BJP and its PM candidate Modi to make judgmental errors on their performance of selection of candidate to contest strategy but om the contrary BJP election plan  appears to be design by well known thinkers not necessary from the party but from the corporate Groups and are bent in scoring against the oldest party of the nation.
People perception before thirty days of ensuing elections feel the Congress will make record of its lowest number of parliamentarians and put the figure of half of the worst it fared  114 during 1999 General election  thus putting the number around 60-90 candidates as their image of governance in last three years has reached lowest ebb.

In such scenario will the loss of Congress be a gain of BJP is moot Q. Former CEC Dr SY Qurashi said that our awareness campaign for large chunk of voters to exercise their fundamental rights of vote is getting its valued effect as experience in last assembly election. He was addressing  media queries during a launch of Book titled, “India in shambles only Judiciary can save us”. Further political  experts are in the opinion that in the national interest people are being educated by various political and non political group by use of  social sites is putting great efforts to make 16th General election an interesting event. Many businessmen feel that in this economy cycle of stagflation which can continue for another three- four years until some sort of catalyst prevail to ease chronic recession, people going to vote, to sought clear verdict can bring optimism in day to day affairs of the nation.
Thus mood of public at large as on 1999, is if worst than Congress may suffer at center but its solace is that is has fourteen state in its kitty.
Many leaders in Congress thus find better to follow RS route rather than General elections and are making statement of Congress as under dogs.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
