With P Chidambaram backing out of the Sivaganga Lok Sabha constituency and his lawyer son Karti stepping in, no amount of spin doctoring will save the day for the FM. The man who famously called Namo derogatory names and equated Namos exposure of economics that will fit the backside of a postage stamp has turned to be a prime turkey now and exposed his Achilles heel and fear of the voter in his own backyard. Its one thing to tom-tom your Harvard background against the tea vendor tag of Namo and another to abandon the sinking fortunes of a rudderless party in TN and save face by pushing his son into the political cess pool of Dravidian proportions. Chidambaram stands exposed for his feet of clay and Sonia stands exposed in accepting this situation of eventual defeat and decline. Congress in the South is experiencing sunset at noon and would well be the case up north ad well. Digvijaya Singh pitted against Namo in Varanasi is a clear cut case of lambs to the slaughter and the proverbial scape goat. A regional satrap from MP masquerading as a National Leader due to his avowed proximity with Rahul Baba is a lost cause even before the battle of the ballot has commenced. It is not without reason that almost all stalwarts in UPA II are choosing safe seats rather than face a bleak future , when not in contention. All this leads us to one unmistakable fact. The Congress and the fortunes of the first family can no longer claim the magic legacy and heritage associated with Brand Gandhi. I mean the MAHATMA and not the - your guess is as good as any one elses. I rest my case.
