'Sonia-Ben’s Politics' – An Appraisal
I had been slightly despondent at not seeing till yesterday “Sonia Ben” move herself into action. In fact, I had already concluded that perhaps the 2014 parliamentary polls will have to be fought in the absence of her stellar political manoeuvres and not-so well thought out but “attractive” homilies and war cries. My depths of despondency started becoming shallow yesterday when “madam” went on a whirlwind good-will shopping spree to the ideological malls of a group of Muslim clerics, some of whom, after “madam” had left, came out in full public glare of the television crews to say how they had entreated “Sonia ben” to save India from impending disaster and disintegration.
