UPA: A stumbling block to India's progress: Article by MV Kamath

What can one possibly say about the UPA Government that has not been said in the past, time and time again? It has been a total failure. It has been a major disaster. It has no leadership worth the name. It has no vision. It is a family concern. The Congress certainly is. It is moving along like a blind elephant, doing untold damage on its way to nowhere and has become a sickening joke. No one knows who is running it. The moment Pranab Mukherjee resigned from his Finance Ministry, an effort was made to change some of his budget proposals. It was as if the UPA was only waiting for Mukherjee to quit – a poor tribute to his alleged talents.

Suddenly we are seeing the news about Violence in Assam. Visual and Social media are feasting over it, especially for first time news followers.

Poor Assamese have been going through this, almost every day, for decades. There were even attempts like making Assamese language as compulsory (in education) in 1961 or Assam agitation in 1980’s to send back Bangladeshi infiltrators.But there hasn’t been a single successful solution for this issue. The use of North Eastern border by Pakistani infiltrators is also no news to us.
