Some of these Ministers and MLAs of the Congress party are interesting to watch. Some others are boring. Many of them cannot assert. They wait for the Chief Minister to dictate on what they should do. Chief Minister O. Ibobi might be having troubled time in convincing them the the path they should adopt at par witrh the policies and programmes of the Government. The speech made by Ibobi the other day at the Congress Bhavan was heart warming to hear. Hearing the speech one feels we have a Government that cares one and all. He opened his heart that day and said “ I weep when I win election and laugh out when I lose. I know how much people expect from the Government. I also know the little a Government can perform, which cannot fulfil the dwsire of the masses.” He also said when Congress party swept the polls last year he immersed his face in the pillow and cried profusely. How will the Government reciprocate the love and confidence showered on the party by the voters, that haunts the mind of the ruling party. Large number of mega projects had been taken up in the past one decade since Ibobi led Government was installed. Congress party created a record when it won the election for the three consecutive terms. The other non Congress parties will find it an uphill task in attempting to emulate this record. Why it happens Congress continues to sweep the poll. Opposititon parties as they attempt to snatch power from Congress must attempt to realise where lies the weakness of the non Congress parties. Congress party centres on a family that has maximum sacrifice for keeping a united nation. Jawaharlal Nehru set a record ;eading the party to a straight victory forming the Government continuously for three terms since then no party has been able to emulate the record. Then came Indira Gandhi, who was killed by terrorists. Her son Rajiv Gandhi also former prime Minister was killed by terrorists belonging to LTTE. If they had made sacrifices by dying Sonia Gandhi who was given mandate by the people of the country to rule also made sacrifices by refusing to be the Prime Minister of the country. Does any of these political parties have the leader of theire stature. Non Congress parties can rule, no doubt about that. But their probem is their inability to groom up a leader who can pull the masses. This is a lesson that must be learnt by all.
