Not long ago the Indian political scene seemed have few examples of mutual admiration. Although, the on going tussles between regional parties had really heated up one major development broke all the clutter and made headlines among political circles. Narendra Modi, the very popular Chief Minister of Gujarat had praised Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram and his gang at the center for being very prompt in their actions and for being on their toes regarding security of the country and co-operating with the state governments.
I couldn't believe my ears that a senior as well as influential party leader of the BJP has showered praise on the way Congress has been running the Sarkar. How I wish Narendra Modi was without his Hindutva Agenda. He is a figure whom I immensely get attracted to, but when he opens his trap about Hindutva the entire effect vanishes. Someday I really want to see whether the tall claims he makes about progressive development in Gujarat is really very true. Nonetheless, it was indeed very heartening to see for once that opposition party leaders weren't fighting with each other and abandoning meetings like small children.
Today, Narendra Modi is back at Congress lashing. This time the Gandhi-Nehru Khandaan is the target yet again. NM has targeted Rajiv Gandhi's statement which was made years back regarding the leakage of money provided by the centre to the state into corrupt hands. Rajiv Gandhi had complained that only 15% percent of the money goes into the deserving pockets in those days, to which Narendra Modi has pointed out the 100% flawless allocation of funds to the people by his government. Rightly so pointed, if his government is indeed doing it, and he deserves a pat on the back for it, if completely true. With the BJP senior party leaders' meeting coming up, may be he wanted to rub off the niceness shown by him.
