What does Congress want really?

I am confused and am having a really hard time trying to figure out what the Congress wants for itself. I mean, of course every party in the end would want its never-ending rule over the country, but I think the Congress has a very muddled plan to go about doing so.

They say the ends justify the means, and it is not hard to see the Congress come up with all sorts of circus tricks involving biased policies focused on specific vote banks time and time again. Ideally, for the Congress leaders, it would be very fortunate if the people of India simply believed what the Congress told them, but much to their chagrin, it does not look like its happening. For this reason the Congress keeps changing skins after every failed or backfired trick and keep coming back with a new plan.

Congress got caught red-handed in the Office of Profit fiasco and then tried to turn it their way by bringing a bill to save their asses and of their Chinese puppet allies. Now they had hoped that the OBC quota would be accepted by the people of India with a smile, but alas, that too didnt happen. Now it seems that the Con'gress is trying to distance itself from the one-man destruction team that Arjun Singh has become.

I feel sorry for Sonia Gandhi. A woman with such considerable power would do better to have better strategists to implement her plans of establishing Prince Rahul as the next ruler of India, the latest in the Gandhi dynasty. She has millions of Indians worshipping her and yet it would be safe to assume her vote-bank appeasement policies haven't really gone as planned. Although the training of the future King has started already. Rahul is going to Singapore soon, he met His Holiness The Dalai Lama last month, and he is just stepping up his vocal campaign in Uttar Pradesh, that unfortunate state ruined by reckless politics. In fact, Rahul has come up with a middle path to deal with this quota issue! wow, cool na? The PM wants to induct Rahul as a minister, and he was with the PM on his recent visit to Afghanistan. Word is that Mrs. Gandhi wants him to work with the party first, and then roll the rest of the mortels head over heels.

Coming back to vote banks, the Con'gress is afraid it will alienate the middle class with its quota BS. Thats unheard of, don't you think, considering our middle class has been one of the most docile voting groups ever. Well, the rich still don't seem to fall anywhere in the picture, they don't vote and have never been a part of the election equation. But the ever increasing middle class is a rising force.

One thing the Governments of India, future and present, will realize is that the private sector of India is a strong force that has the power to change things. And while much of this private sector is in the hands of the rich, its headcount comes from the middle class, that seems to increasingly shunning government jobs for a more professional, competitive environ. Thus when Congress is bent on pushing the quota wagon, it is threatening this usually quiet middle class, because if you look at this the other way, much of middle class is also the, I am sorry I have to use this word, castes that are unfortunate enough to not be 'backward' in the eyes of the Government.

The assumptions here are clear, as has been said before, the 'upper' castes are always better off, and the 'lower' castes, have been given the worse deal. I think its becoming increasingly clear to me that this is a fight for Uttar Pradesh. Mulayam is the self-proclaimed messiah of the Muslims and the OBC's, and the Congress wants to take the fight back to him. I am a firm believer of this theory that this is the main reason for this whole quota push. Both these entities have been going overboard trying to woo the respective vote-banks. Mulayam refuses to ban a terrorist organization, SIMI because he doesn't want to hurt the sentiments of Muslims. Did i mention it ever that it is unfortunate that this unscrupulous politician equates minority appeasement to activities against the state. So why is it taking so long for our minorities to realize that all these years they have been used by these politicians for their own ends?

As for Arjun Singh, I think he's reduced to a joke now, a very expensive and dangerous joke though. I saw his interview with Karan Thapar. I wish I could pop a bullet in that senile head of his. It was clear he was lying through his teeth, and wasn't forthcoming at all with any of his (and his masters') agendas.

Cong takes dim view of Arjun's new quota salvo

With the threat of an exodus of urban middle-class votes from its kitty over the OBC quota issue, Congress has taken a dim view of HRD minister Arjun Singh's additional list of 100 "deemed universities" for the 27% quota.

Responding with unease to reports about Singh's note to the cabinet to enforce Centre's control over such institutions to regulate their affairs, the party on Sunday left no doubts that its first priority was to douse the passions flared by the reservation issue. Congress, in fact, sought to dismiss Singh's proposal as speculative.

With government heaving a sigh of relief after it succeeded in persuading the medicos to call off their strike, the Congress leadership is clearly in no mood to see revival of the agitation over any provocation.
