Political jostling and jockeying to try and go one up and a peculiar dependence on bureacrats has badly hobbled the administration of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. This can spell bad news for the Congress in 2014 and for India right now
Consider the following instances that will dispel any doubts you had about coherence and cohesiveness of the current regime of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh:
• One of the most senior leaders of the Congress Digvijay Singh writes a column slamming the Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram for his strategy to tackle the naxalites. This triggers a virtual war of words. The first among equals remains silent
• The Foreign Minister of the country S.M Krishna-after being humiliated and hectored by his Pakistani counterpart in Islamabad-openly criticizes the Union Home Secretary for accusing the Pakistani establishment of complicity in the 26/11 attack. The first among equals remains silent.
• The Union Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh uses an international platform to openly criticize P. Chidambaram because the Home Ministry is putting restrictions on the import of telecom equipment from China. The first among equals remains silent.
• After being accused of corruption in the 2G spectrum allocation scandal, the Telecom Minister A. Raja claims that he had the consent of the Prime Minister to allocate spectrum in the manner he did. The first among equals remains silent.
• The Union Surface Transport Minister Kamal Nath ridicules and mocks top members of the Planning Commission-headed by the Prime Minister-as arm chair economists who have no connection with reality. The first among equals remains silent.
• The ever acerbic Minister Mani Shankar Aiyer tells all and sundry that he will be happy if the Commonwealth Games are a flop. In the process, he openly accuses organizers of widespread corruption and worse. India becomes a laughing stock even as the first among equals remains silent.
• The Union Minister of Railways Mamata Bannerjee makes it crystal clear that her first priority is not the Railways but the looming assembly elections in West Bengal. The first among equals remains silent.
• Union Minister Azhagiri of DMK hardly ever bothers to attend to his ministry or even cabinet meetings. The first among equals remains silent.
• For close to two months, Kashmir continues to burn even as the government of Omar Abdullah seems to lose control. The first among equals remains silent.
• Union Agriculture and Food Minister Sharad Pawar openly says after becoming the President of International Cricket Council that he would prefer less responsibilities. This, even as persistently high inflation ravages the common man. The first among equals remains silent.
• The American President Barack Obama is due to come to India on a ‘historic’ visit in November. Yet, both he and his Secretary of State continue to openly molly coddle the Pakistani military establishment whose sole strategy seems to be the destruction of India. The first among equals remains eloquently silent.
