Why blame Anna Hazare when it is the Congress party itself that outsourced law-making to its darbari jholawallahs? This is not a team of modern-day Ambedkars, but mostly IAS drop-outs and retirees who approach law-making with the “wisdom” of sincere undergrads. You need the NAC to make sure power does not go even to his head, and also to keep him off-balance by attacking his government and policies, and continuing to throw one idiotic law after another in his court. All we do not know is if Sonia’s civil society dudes are also as contemptuous of elections as Anna’s. This consists of people never elected, and incapable of ever being elected. It invented a totally subversive and extra-constitutional idea of the NAC consisting of “civil society” activists and functioning as a super cabinet. The original blunder of outsourcing law-making and governance is the UPA’s or, more precisely, the Congress party’s. Time has also come now to face the truth. On whose mandate, nobody dares to ask, least of all the UPA. They all claim to have no political ambition, all love “democracy”, but just want to change the “system”. What is even more dangerous, they have ceded this to just about five characters in fancy dress, in shades of white to saffron, representing Left, Right and Centre. But never in India’s history has a government with a genuine majority and a strong political core surrendered the state’s sovereign authority and responsibility as this one has.

Morarji’s Janata in its very first year and Narasimha Rao’s in its second, with the Babri demolition. We have seen past governments losing authority faster than this. Or the fact that the same “wizard” in saffron promises that if his prescription is followed, all black money will return and the exchange rate will be fifty dollars to a rupee.

Just how ludicrous that figure is can be seen even by a class five child, once you remember that India’s current GDP is just Rs 59 lakh crore.
