Congress alone is not UPA
  • Congress alone is not UPA March 22, 2009

    What a great statement!

    It is not just a statement;
    It is the TRUTH.

    Only Leaders can speak the truth; Lalu did it.

    What a great expression, Lalu is making in this picture? If you know how to milk the cow, then you can effectively run any organization or the country.

    If Congress alone is not UPA, then who is UPA?

    The truth is, Pawar is UPA; Karunanithi is UPA; Lalu is UPA; Pawan is UPA; Sibu Seran is UPA; Ramdas is(was) UPA; once Vaiko was UPA; Congress is also part of UPA.

    So, certainly Congress alone is not UPA.

    It is the truth; but it demands a leader to tell the truth with total freedom and courage. In fact, Lalu did a good thing to both UPA and Congress. That is what Tiruvalluvar also said: Tell the truth to your friends; Help them to understand their strength and weakness; That is true friendship.

    Truth may be of bitter taste. But it is good for the health of the UPA; in fact, it is good for the health of the Congress itself. At present, the leaders of Congress may not like Lalu's truth; but if they look at the truth in that statement; and not looking at the person who made that statement; then they can see the value of it. Perhaps they can save the Congress itself.

    If the leaders of Congress extend Lalu's truth, that will help them to see the truth more clearly. Then they will ask the very important question. In fact, asking the right question is very important. When you ask the right question, getting the right answer will not be difficult. So, it is very important to ask the right question.

    Ask the question. It is good for the health of the organization.

    Who is Congress?

    Is Sonia alone Congress or Sonia is also part of Congress?

    What is the great and unique leadership qualities Sonia has and others don't have?

    Is Sonia indispensable? Does Congress have no one else for the Leadership position?

    The leaders of Congress have to ask these questions, if they care to save the organization. Nothing wrong in talking about or exploring the options. That is Freedom; Freedom to talk; to discuss; to imagine. How about Manmohan Singh as the President of the Congress and Chidambaram as the Prime Minister candidate; or Pawar; or Lalu from UPA.

    Why always it has to be Sonia or any one from the Nehru family?

    As far as Tamilnadu is concerned, the people are not against the Congress. In fact Congress can still emerge out as a very strong force, if they go to the polls with totally a new leadership, instead of Sonia as their leader.
