IRON LEG

IRON LEG
Dr K Prabhakar Rao

UP elections have blown up the myth that members of Gandhi family only can turn tables and do miracles and take things out of an hat.They also assume that they are the most sought after and popular souls in India. Thus they expected that their young prince Rahul assisted by his sister well dressed Priyanka mixing up with villagers and waving hands like her grand mother would draw all votes of the masses into their basket. Probably, they were over confident that the tricks would do and also under esitmated the intelligence of rural folk.. Sadly, it was not to be. People of UP have shown their place to them. By eating with few Dalits here and there and squatting on ground for a show and photo session and getting the snap printed in leading dailies and news papers and wearing turbans will not influence the electorate.They are least impressed. They can see the naked truth. Mismanagement of Congress led government at center trapped in neck deep scams unable to extract itself is well understood at all levels. Result is clear in verdict of people. Congress party got few seats here and there and got good beting in their own place, while Mulayam singh Yadav’s party hoisted its flag with absolute majority dethroning CM Mayawathi who has been pushed down along with her chubby elephant. Yadavs need not depend on any body’s favor and are not any ones mercy who would habe blackmailed them for next five years. Rahul has to learn hard lessons.Will he ? The result probably is not surprise for him. In heart and heart, he probably knew that he had no base in UP and would surely loose and has to cut a sorry figure too. But outside and in open, he boasted that they would get majority and would form the government. Last time, he goofed up Bihar polls and cut sorry figure. Some time ago, in Telugu cinemas generally a character called iron leg was seen. He was the guy who brought bad luck wherever he went. Similarly, Is Rahul an iron leg for congress party? Whenever he took up charge of party in elections, the party lost badly. Now he is in thick soup in UP. His flunkies in congress party keep singing that he is the only beacon of light to guide India ( if not world) as a PM fully knowing that they were speaking absolute and brazen lies and they imagined that they would win hands down. . But they had to do the job for their survival. Otherwise who will throw crumbs and pieces of bones at them? What a sad story? How foolish they are! They are running after a mirage. Congress party will be soon sunk into million fathoms deep creek with Rahul at the helm of affairs. One should not think that just because he is from Nehru family, he can do a magic and win hands down wherever he goes. In fact, no one can do a magic. The days of magic are over. Congress party will be soon wiped out, the way things are moving in India and one day it has to satisfy itself with single digit numbers. Rahul will soon play swan song for congress while his flunkies would play brass band.Fire is already on in the party with higher ups screaming at full throat that heads would roll for the tragedy.We have to see which head would roll first for the loss of face of the party in UP elections and at some other places too.But UP is most important.It has already been declared that Dr Man mohan singh will continue. They have to find some other scape goats now for the sacrifice.
