Who is more communal ? Sonias Corrupt Congress or NaMos BJP ? Sonia Gandhi’s Communal Award a poisonous gambit - Sandhya Jain By issuing a Communal Award promising reservations to religious minorities (read Christians and Muslims, since Parsis and Jains are too negligible to count) on the day of the sixth phase of voting, when two-thirds of the election is over, Congress president Sonia Gandhi has effectively conceded defeat. She took the next morning’s newspaper headlines away from the spectacular road show of the BJP numero uno in Varanasi on Thursday, but also exposed the fact that the Congress has realised that it no longer commands popular support and is hurtling towards irrelevance. Injecting lethal communal poison into the remaining portion of the parliamentary election, the sub-manifesto promises that future delimitation of constituencies will be done in a manner that ensures ‘weightage’ to minorities, and promises to set up an Equal Opportunity Commission to ensure that minorities are adequately represented in “all public positions” and academic institutions (where much of the venom against the BJP is concentrated). niticentral/2014/04/25/sonia-gandhis-communal-award-a-poisonous-gambit-216511.html
