  1. As usual a balanced view of politics, SG. India definitely needs the Congress. A new congress. Or old congress with new leadership. Anybody, except a handful (literally) can see that. Yes, politics and its discussion are part of a democracy as long as the discussion includes the benefits to the electorate, mostly in its united functioning to improve the lot of its people and in the progress of the Nation to compete with developing and developed economies of the World. Frankly, winning elections and defeating a party (in this case the BJP?) as the declared aim is an affront to democracy. Mamta, P. Kishore, Sharad Pawar, the Yadavs and Patnaiks are all passe’. May be an odd Patnaik or a Stalin may work for a while at local levels. We do need two strong political outfits at the National level, each with a 40% voter base for a strong Government at the Centre always and every time – without that India will forever remain a laggard democracy. Tail piece. Coalitions are no answer. You can’t expect to consistently win test matches with T20 specialists. Like IPL, the best coalitions in India can offer only some excitement. An aside: It is time we stop talking about defeating the BJP and talk of a political environment best suited for progress. A nation ca't make progress by just praying any which way.
