Mr.A.Rasheed, I have provided the link and following that you can read the full text. I have no problem with your analysis. And I am least interested to prove contrary to your argument. There are several interpretations available in the market. One can choose what one prefers to. And the voters will swing or do a googly or or do medium paced cutter as the demands of the time. One can be satisfied with one's own analysis till another elections are due..
