presidentsBy: yohan | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 11:55:48 AM Reply | Forward Presidnet's rule means rule by center, means rule by congress and UPA. In maharashtra, the governor should act according to his constitutional protocol and authority. today being the last day for forming a govt, the congress-ncp alliance failed and there is no sign of a patch up between these parties. hence as per provisions of the constitution, the governor should invite the next group (bjp-ss) for formation of the govt. we feel the bjp-ss comibine should be supportd by left-RP combine and also by ncp. in todays environment, the congress is becoming a dictator party both at center and states. hence they are becoming worst than their situation during emergency. even EC being influenced and back seat driven by congress leaders. the constitutional provisions are not being adhered to by anyone. defense ministry is misusing their power and resources for party/personal purposes. the country is going to a disaster situation.

sign of weaknessBy: arun kumar | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 11:26:03 AM Reply | Forward Congress Party's strength is its belief in personality cult. Sonia, Rahul are very powerful as on today but how? Selective character assassination of opposition leaders, and by raising disputes and fight within opposition parties. While doing so all ills of Congress has been neglected and a blank cheque of secularism, unity, and patriotism has been attributed to them. Congress backed MNS to defeat Shiva Sena - what is the result - Fatwa - speak Marathi only, PC speaks against riots but not a word against Fatwa - and what is Fatwa is it a democratic tool? It is whim of a select group of people who want to impose on others what they think is right. Where are socially elite ladies who jump on the road against moral policing? Basically the principle is - "NEHRU DYNASTY" is always right and those who oppose are against secularism, and against the country. I saw the celebration after Congress NCP alliance but what happened then? The victors have not been able to form Govt.

state elections should not disrupt good governanceBy: V.Seshadri | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 9:17:28 AM Reply | Forward Perhaps, president’s rule should be proclaimed in each state, for six months, along with the announcement of elections. It will give the state politicians full freedom to fight the election and the post-election fights for govt-formations also. People could, in the mean time, continue to have a responsive governance under experienced administrators.
