Bruised, battered and buffetted in the recent election with voters opting for stability, Nationalist Congress Party having been reduced to naught is on the lookout for a way to get the root for survival. The root was just beginning to sprout out but it had been truncated with the mudslinging charges thrown against each other among the party leaders. S. Ibomcha held Radhabinod Koijam former Chief Minister responsible for misappropriation of party fund. No wonder the same charge had been hurled against Ibomcha by Radhabinod. Does not it sound funny? It is amazing political leaders of their stature are locking horns over such petty matter like election expenditure. Perhaps they do not see shumang leela. If they watch shumang leela they will know that there is a powerful dialogue uttered in one of the shumang leelas. “Wa du pangngangda ngangnarabadi dora huranbagasu yaorakkani” if you continue to throw abusive language unnecessarily against each other you may disclose about the petty thieving also. Advani and Sonia Gandhi can pose together in group photograph. They even exchange words whenever they find the occasion to be at the public domain. Will Ibomcha and Radhabinod be able to do that? The degree of accusation and the manner of the fight they take up will make it very difficult for the two leaders to sit together and chat freely just as these great leaders are doing. The image of the NCP in Manipur had been dragged down to such a low level that none takes them seriously. But a political party, which exists to serve people of the state, cannot be run like this. If they cannot keep the house in order how will they be able to look after the need of other people? One prominent thing that is conspicuous by its absence in the running of small parties like the one in the news is discipline. Such news of one leader claiming I am the real President to be countered by another as the genuine president of the same party exposes the system that controls political parties in the greatest democracy of the world. In Karnataka when Yedyurappa could not become president of the state unit of BJP he dared challenge the central leadership of the party with the threat of going out enmasse. He had given time for doing that precisely in December this year. We will see what comes out after the issuance of the threat by the Karnataka strongman. Cowards fight for political posts. It must come with honour. If it is not coming you are worn out in the eyes of the central leadership. Try to regain their confidence. After all politics is game of patience. If you cannot wait nothing wrong with launching a regional party so that you can remain as president till the end of your life. It is time the central leadership of the NCP prevail upon the two leaders now locked horns over the leadership issue and declare in one sentence who is the president of the NCP Manipur unit. As usual central leaders will not intervene immediately. The fight may continue for some time more.
