From Businessline editorial page essay by RASHEEDA BHAGAT (See how they decide about ruling India-reasons for decisions) ..........Meanwhile, the Congress is pulling out all the stops to upset the BJP’s aspirations, in general, and Modi’s, in particular, to force a change in Government in Delhi. The announcement of a Telangana State was an effort to save Andhra Pradesh, which is slipping out of the Party’s grasp. The Congress High Command will do all it can to make a deal with Jagan Reddy who has resigned as MP over the Telangana issue, and bring his faction back. With the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and the Jagan faction back, the Congress has a good chance of repeating the YSR magic/feat of 2009................................. ...........................It is now reported that the Congress had indeed played a role in the suspension of the young IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal in UP. Within an hour or two of the demolition of the masjid wall in Kadalpur, the Congress MLA had appeared on the scene, issued press statements and there were plans of some senior leaders descending on the spot from Delhi the next morning. They would have “exposed” the Samajwadi Party’s claim to be a saviour of Muslims, and promised the villagers to fight for their right to worship. But, apparently, the SP leadership got wind of this and acted at midnight to suspend the IAS officer and reiterate its image as a “champion” of Muslims. Small wonder that Congress chief Sonia Gandhi so touchingly asked the Prime Minister to intervene in this matter!But in this unholy political war, the career of a young woman has been sacrificed. thehindubusinessline/todays-paper/tp-oncampus/modi-in-makeover-mode/article5016930.ece
