Who got the mileage? Naidu or Dr.Singh? - Bhandaru Srinivas Rao (I.I.S.)
Telugu Desam party chief and former chief minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu’s alleged remarks against none other than Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh is reprehensible.
That too a person, who held highest office (Chief Minister) and played a key role in installing as many as two to three non-Congress Prime Ministers at the Centre, indulging in passing such uncharitable remarks against Dr Manmohan Singh, indeed uncalled for.
I for one, for a second wondered how come Naidu can make such a remark like ‘sadist’. Does Naidu aware of meaning of the word ‘sadist’? A ‘sadist’ is a person who tries to derive pleasure from causing physical or mental pain to people or animals.
Naidu’s grouse against Dr Singh was that the latter had not given him appointment. As an Opposition leader he had every reason to feel hurt for not getting audience from a Prime Minister. It is understandable. But, had Naidu followed the protocols to get appointment with the Prime Minister during his whirlwind visit to the state?
If one has to believe the septuagenarian Chief Minister K Rosaiah, Naidu had only sent a letter drafted by his secretary seeking appointment, that too in the last minute. Rosaiah, who had been maintaining his ‘cool’ ever since he took over the reins in trying times, in spite of provocation from the Opposition leader calling him ‘incompetent’ and ‘inefficient’ Chief Minister, appears lost ‘patience’ and burst out his ire against Naidu. Yet with greater restrain! . “I never reacted to Naidu’s provocative statements in the past against me. Simply, because I accept I am old, inefficient and incompetent CM,” he said and added; “What about Naidu, who claims to have held office for nine long years and gained notoriety as “king maker’ at the Centre, besides meticulously lobbying to play host for none other than American President Bill Clinton. Doesn’t he aware of protocols? If Naidu had intention to meet Prime Minister and submit a memorandum, he could have as well accepted our invite and attended to ceremonial see off of Prime Minister.”
Naidu’s every political act, in the recent past, ironically getting misfired. If the ‘maha dharna’ in Maharashtra over construction of projects illegally over river Krishna on the eve of bypolls in 12 constituencies of Telangana, drew a flak as his party lost miserably, then his latest near the Begumpet airport, protesting against the PMO’s refusal to give him time during PM’s recent Hyderabad visit, also ended in yet another fiasco with Naidu’s slip of tongue ‘language’.
Undoubtedly, Naidu and his party’s ‘think tank’ running out of ideas and hence many feel deliberately indulging in cheap political gimmicks to derive some political mileage of it. It may be true every political party today look for political mileage and the word ‘mileage’ no more confines to ‘automobile industry’ to boast off. Every political party in the country strives for this ‘political mileage’ and Naidu’s recent act during Prime Minister is one such. And finally, who got the ‘mileage’? Naidu or Dr Singh?

Kudos to Sonia, Singh - Bhandaru Srinivasrao (I.I.S)
Kudos to Sonia, Singh - Bhandaru Srinivasrao (I.I.S)
Last week, the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre has announced a 14-member National Advisory Council. Significantly, for the first time, the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh and the UPA Chairperson, Sonia Gandhi, seems to have taken utmost care to ensure nominating only apolitical personalities with excellent professional and academic track records.
Does the ‘realization’ have come among the political parties, especially the Indian National Congress, while choosing people for such an important panel? Has the ‘mind set’ of Congress leadership changed for good?
The members of the high-profile NAC include eminent scientists, academics, intellectuals and civil society activists. While four members of the previous NAC -- Aruna Roy, Jean Dreze, N.C. Saxena and A.K. Shiva Kumar - have been re-nominated to the panel, the rest are new faces.
The new names include agriculture scientist M.S. Swaminathan, technocrat V. Krishnamurthy, also a member of Planning Commission, economist Narendra Jadhav, Mirai Chatterjee, coordinator of social security at NGO SEWA, civil rights activist Farah Naqvi, vice-chancellor of North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong, Pramod Tandon, and former IAS officer and social activist Harsh Mander.
Ram Dayal Munda, MP, entrepreneur Anu Aga of Thermax Ltd and Madhav Gadgil of Agharkar Research Institute, Pune, have also been nominated to the new NAC that is expected to push for inclusive growth and social justice.
In its last incarnation during the first tenure of the United Progressive Alliance, the NAC became identified with signature social sector reforms such as introduction of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and the Right to Information Act.
It is no secret that it is a brainchild of Congress party president, Sonia Gandhi Sonia. It is also informally called as UPA's Planning Commission for social agenda. On 23 March 2006, Sonia Gandhi had resigned from the post of chairmanship of the NAC after Office of profit controversy. On 29 March 2010, she was back as the chairperson of NAC.
Though it was initially meant to guide and implement in the Common Minimum Programme of the UPA-I, now it was asked to play its role to foster the social agenda of UPA-II. The NAC serves as an interface between the government and the Congress party.
That the other members of this council are nominated by the Prime Minister in consultation with the Chairperson, give credence to my argument – that’s change in the ‘mind set of the party leadership.” The funds for the functioning of this council are provided from the budgetary allocation for the Prime Minister's Office.
I wish to join those millions, who wish to hail Sonia and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, for overlooking claimants among political parties. Indeed, a good sign, as those who nominated not only high-profile and eminent personalities, but can guide the country impartially in designing and implementing the social agenda of the UPA-II to benefit those who need the help most.(22-06-2010)
