Power is Poison....

“Sonia Gandhi has told Rahul that power is poison. Who has been in power for most of the time during the last 60 years?.. In whose stomach has this poison gone? Who is spewing this poison? Who is harvesting the poison? They (Congress) are the ones who sow the seeds of poison,” Modi retaliated while addressing rally in Meerut. Modi’s counter-attack came a day after Sonia Gandhi at a rally in Karnataka accused Modi and BJP of indulging in divisive politics by “sowing seeds of poison” (zeher ki kheti) and instigating violence in their “hunger” for power.

Let us just review the role Congress towards integration of India. But for Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel’s sterling role in integrating more than six hundred princely states into Indian Union, there had been no Congress role in this regard.

(1) Why did not Congress pass Common Civil Law?

(2) Why did not Congress made Hindu Code Bill applicable to all other religious minorities?

(3) Why did Nehru voluntarily agree to plebiscite for J&K State?

(4) Why did not Congress revoke provisions about “Reservations for SC, ST, OBC” after first fifteen years as agreed to originally, thereafter another ten years extension.

(5) Why did not Congress agree to make reservation for economically backward segment of Indian Society as a whole?

Congress had sown poisonous seed of Communal divide just to maintain their self acclaimed title of Mentor of Muslims all along and never wanted Muslims to integrate with rest of citizens. Nehru no doubt gave us a stable political democratic system but his successors be it Indra Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, PV Narsimha Rao and de-facto rule of Madam Sonia Gandhi all exploited “minorities” as their VOTE BANK COMMODITY. Congress in fact mother of all evils in our governing system including Corruption and divisive politics.
