Think Modi is dictatorial? Rahul’s totalitarianism is dangerous

by Rishi Sun Sep 29, 2013 3:13 pm

This idea of totalitarianism applies directly on the Congress party, with Rahul’s voice being an invisible command, irrespective of its merit. Or timing. If Rahul were so concerned about this issue, there was adequate time to debate it within the party, before allowing the Cabinet to translate it into an Ordinance. Were he sincere about the idea, he wouldn’t have humiliated the Prime Minister of India, hours before he would meet the US President Barack Obama. Even if it struck him as an afterthought, he would have done well to wait for Singh to return and find a face-save. By his actions, Rahul has humiliated the office of the Prime Minister, the glow of which was already waning due to Singh’s doormat-like attitude. Clearly, the mark of a man who knows and lives by the dictum that his word is law. Critics accuse the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi of this sort of totalitarianism. But within the BJP, dissent is open (LK Advani’s letters, for instance), it is discussed (behind closed doors, leading to tremendous speculations) and when found to stand against the majority views, it and its rigid author are discarded. What we are seeing in the Congress, instead, is a reversal of that dissent, showing how just one man, one voice, one opinion — and ironically, its leader — can change the party line. And with it, the national agenda. Nothing could be more dangerous.

Funny...not a whimper or disagreement/rebuttal to Rahul Baba's diktat.

Who is correct? MMS or Rahul ?

I will let the PiSS Group members to comment (but, don't hold your breath).
