Sonia playing queen?


Sonia Gandhi's sacrificial denial of crown no longer appear sacrifice to many people, including myself, thanks to true/false analysis of situation by various newspapers. Actually, it is no bad either, for this is politics, and one can be considered downright fool to expect ethical things by Indian politicians. For example, this excuse of BJP and allies to stalemate LokSabha over 'tainted' ministers issue while Vajpayee so proudly defining the definition of 'tainted' just enough to exclude George Fernandes and L K Advani. What about this latest statement over Narendra Modi being cause of debacle all over now? So when Sonia deserted the seat, even ignoring those political moves behind this decision, one would have expected her to leave the path. But, oh, no! She continues to be king (or queen) herself. Why did Pervej Musharaf have to call her to discuss India-Pak talks? Why do international leaders have to visit 10 Janpath instead of 7 Race Course Road?
