The recent elections in Goa and in many other states in India, saw the Congress
Party take a beating....Mr. Rahul Gandhi took 'responsibility' for the UP
debacle but Digvijay Singh decided to say Rahul was not at fault, and that he
shoulders responsibility for it!!...Isn't it amazing?? Perhaps this is the 1st
time in the history of India, people are vying for a piece of the
responsibility at a loss !!...For Digvijay Singh, it is like a deposit in the
bank.. Should Rahul Gandhi become PM, he could be handsomely rewarded for being
a 'loyal servant'!!.....After all, Digvijay has been an attack dog for the
Gandhis...
In Goa, on the other hand, responsibility has turned into a blame game. Nobody
from Delhi has shown up, to take any blame or responsibility!!...Sonia Gandhi
and PM Manmohan Singh showed up to campaign, but have not taken any part in the
responsibility or the blame game.....Mr. Digambar Kamat blamed Mr. Oscar
Fernandes!! Mr. Vijay Sardessai on the other hand thanked Mr. Fernandes for
having denied him the Congress ticket in Fatorda, which led to his being
elected as an independent....Mr. Vishwajeet Rane, got blamed by his
Congressmen, for the 5 losing candidates he supported in North Goa....The
elected BJP MLAs from North Goa on the other hand, thanked Vishwajeet!....Mr.
Dayanand Narvenkar went to take a nap in the middle of the counting, hoping to
wake up thinking that it was only a dream !!...
The most hilarious part of the elections have undoubtedly been The Alemaos, who
have blamed everybody ---Digambar Kamat, the Church priests and even the
EVMs!....Perhaps they forgot their own constituents, who were unhappy with
them...Down the road, there might some conspiracy theories too!!
