Congress Plotting Dumping of Dr. Manmohan as Escape Goat

Naobi Ningthoujam *

Of late, under the protective coverage provided by the supreme court, CBI could muster enough guts to tell the truth on oath. Due to the affidavit filed by the CBI Director, Mr. Ranjeet Sinha to the supreme court, a series of Scams and scandals revolving around the UPA-Govt has been exposed.

Today, everybody knows that UPA-Govt has been shamelessly abusing the CBI to cover up it's misdeeds. Now the Congress Caucus becomes more and more jittery because a section of the society has already started saying "Congress is much more communal comparatively".

Compared to the 1984 Anti-Sikh Riot instigated by popular Congress Leaders, Godhra-Riot, 2002 is a negligible micro incident. In addition to the unfavourable consequences of the recent expose by the Supreme Court that "the heart of the CBI's Coalgate investigation report had been changed as per the instruction of UPA- Govt", Congress has a chronic problem of Leadership.

The very fact that the acceptability of Rahul Gandhi across India is just 18% (As per the various independant survey reports ) is compelling Sonia led Congress to have sleepless nights. Rahul's once favourite Kalabati has also eaten up a good chunk of his integrity.

On second thought, reviewing the recent remarks made by the supreme court and seeing the subsequent writings on the walls, Sonia led Congress believes that retaining Dr. Manmohan Singh as a faithful Night Watch Dog till Rahul is ready for the supreme post, is becoming increasingly liable for the party.

Hence a plot has already been hatched to dump Dr. Manmohan Singh as a Scape-Goat and systematically started transferring all the credits to Madam Sonia for dismissing the corrupted ministers viz Ashwani Kumar ( Coalgate ) and P.K. Bansal ( Railgate ). The search for a new clean Manmohan is going on.

The poor Manmohan, having no idea of the deep rooted strategy against him, is going to Guwahati tomorrow with his Mama Sakuni for filing his nomination papers. First of all, the rift between Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi had been intentionally leaked out by the Congress General Secretary, Digvijay Singh, stating that the Dual Power Centre System shared by Dr. Manmohan Singh and Party President Sonia Gandhi has failed.

It is also Digvijay Singh who said that the post of Prime Minister should go to someone who has the authority to take the decision. It is a different issue that under the instruction of the so called "High-Command", the party spokesperson Janardan Dwivedi had lately rectified the intended damage done by the leak.

Now, the extreme nervousness of the Congress Think-Tank is quite apparent from the way how Digvijay Singh had criticised the Supreme Court's "Caged Parrot" remark and a Central Administrative Bench in Bangalore calling the IB a Chicken.

CBI has already happily accepted the Supreme Court's remark of it's being a "caged parrot'' with many masters. Then who is Mr. Digvijay to find fault the Supreme Court's remarks? It would have been much better, had he introspected the root causes of the scams and with the help of the ultimate authority tried to

rectify the UPA-Govt's misdeeds/anti-people activities in public interest. Of course, as usual, this time also Dwivedi had said that Digvijay's criticism of the Supreme Court's remark was his personal view and absolutely not of the party.

Well! It is because of the Supreme Court's scathing observation on CBI & it's master that today the UPA-Govt has formed a group of Ministers (GoM) headed by FM, P. Chidambaram to draft a Law to insulate the investigating agency from External Influences. Today Dr Manmohon Singh is presiding over a highly corrupted regime and so his image and credibility has been tarnished irreparably.

At present, the popular Anti-Congress wave across the nation is picking it's crest. Unfortunately, this wave will not have the required energy to break through the nine layers of hills surrounding Manipur. Therefore, for the time-being O. Ibobi led puppet Govt is safe as long as the UPA-Govt is in Delhi.

Anyway, under any circumstances, it would not be an exaggeration if we say "Ibobi Govt's reverse Count-Down has been started".
