[1] This thread started with Rahul blaming (veiled) Pawar for the prolonged and excessive price rise in food items. [2] Manmohan, Sonia, Pawar, Montek were blamed. [3] But now I feel that they are less to be blamed. Because when they meet to discuss the issue, they probably de-tour Cuba, Gandhi, Birla, NAM, North Korea, Real Estate enjoying the intellectual mast**bation. Only after they come out of the meeting and reporters question them, that they remember food inflation!, [4] Jeers! COMMENT: re #1: While "revisionism" is the forte of the extreme right and left, I make no judgment call on this statement by Rajendra or the one he (possibly) refers to (by Soter). Have you heard what Rahul Gandhi stated? What was the meeting about? With whom was the meeting held? Was it an open-door or a closed door meeting? Have you verified the details? re# 2: By whom? Was the blame justifiable, if at all they were blamed? re# 3: It is possible that the discussion moved to 'global discussion' when some of the original posters realised that they may not have had ALL the facts when they reacted. Soter, of all the folks, surely realises how frightfully accurate our alleged-journos are. Does he not? re# 4: Your Jeers having been noted, I end this post (after the PS) with the best of wishes to those who agree and also to those who disagree. Passionate party (or communal) loyalty should never blind us from doing the right thing. As far as I am concerned, the BJP under Manohar Parrikar should have been in charge of running the affairs of Goa instead of the BJP outfit under Digu kaka (also known as Kangress). It is the kind of 'blind communal passion' displayed by Parrikar supporters (even in cyberspace -facebook included) which have prevented the better man from leading Goa. One see's it in the statement attributed to Manohar Parrikar who (in the Life size Jack Sequeira statue issue is quoted as saying (and I paraphrase) "I have not come here looking for votes". Isn't it a shame that the better person to lead Goa is placed in this sorry position because of some of his sorrier supporters who IMHO are as blind as they are communal..I hope these sorry chaps stop and work genuinely with Goans (perhaps of another communal background) to effect a beneficial change - NOT only pre-election but also here on after. jc PS: re: IANS [ Jan 12, 2011 ] BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said Gandhi's statement "shows his lack of knowledge. What has coalition government to do with price control" COMMENT: I imagine some opposition politician (UK).....(say) from the BNP will say: The Conservatives have a lack of knowledge, What has coalition government to do with closing only (say) 10% of NHS hospitals instead of (say) 30%?
