India’s Political Debris of 2004-2013 Congress Rule |
||||
by Dr. Subhash Kapila |

With General Elections due in May 2014 and widespread political speculation that the Congress Party might call them before the end of 2013, it would be timely to gaze on the political debris that has heaped over in nine years of Congress rule. India’s national security, foreign policy, internal security management and deterrent counter-terrorism strategies lie tattered. Grandiose populist social welfare schemes costing lakhs of crores of rupees have drained the national exchequer. The picture is dismal and the Indian public must ask questions if it was politically worth it to vote the Congress Party into power in 2004 and 2009.
Foreign policy mismanagement debris lies pitiably strewn all over the Indian Sub-Continent. In the Indian Sub-Continent where India as the dominant power in terms of power attributes should have prevailed, India stands reduced to a powerless and dwarfed entity. India’s external image stands severely dented by India’s timid policy postures against Pakistan and China by nine years of ‘appeasement policies’.
Economic management which should have been the spectacular ‘Star-Show’ of the Congress Party with a Congress Party President nominated economist Prime Minister is in utter shambles. Economic mismanagement has resulted in economic growth rates dipping sharply, inflation at an all-time high and prices of essential commodities necessary for the survival of the ‘Aam Admi’ making his survival back-breaking. Foreign direct investment in India is no longer an attractive proposition. |
