Congress-NCP views and methods criticised
Opposition Shiv Sena-BJP decided not to attend the customary tea party hosted by chief minister Ashok Chavan on the eve of the budget session of Maharashtra legislature. "The law and order situation in the state is in a shambles...there has been no headway in last month's Pune blast and innocents have been thrashed in Vasai by police," leader of opposition in Legislative Assembly Eknath Khadse said, saying Sena-BJP would boycott the tea party.
IMO: This matter was referred to earlier in this blog, when MLA Vivek Pandit was himself made a victim of police brutality.
Gulf News, hardly a supporter of MNS-Sena, even pointed out as well that the shortage of power and drinking water has become a matter of concern across Maharashtra where drought has been declared in more than 20,000 villages. The opposition plans to demand a detailed report on the relief packages for the scarcity-hit areas.
IMO: All this is true, and is an unfortunate further example of Delhi ignoring the requirements of the manoos. Congress have been lucky to retain existence in India. This has been partly because of clever politics involving coalitions and partly because of a probably correct feeling that moderate policies and not empty biased rhetoric are what the Indian voters want. But this situation may not continue after they have started to beat up MLAs because Congress seems currently opposed to positive change and opposed to a non-mafia regime in Mumbai. A backward looking Govt and a Mafia regime are not what Indian voters want anywhere in India, and whilst Trinamool congress have up to a point tried to ease the Maharashtra situation for Congress, Congress party and the Sonia regime need to pull up their socks.
