Advani's Nuclear Shenanigans

Lal Lishan Advani, leader of the opposition Bharatya Janta Party has picked up the battered nuclear baton dumped by Karat, the Mao Zedong of India after their resounding defeat in the Indian Parliament. The ruling UPA coalition has given Advani some burning issues on a platter: its softness towards terrorists, spending more on vote-banks (subsidies for Hajjis, etc.) than fighting terrorism, abrogating all anti-terrorist laws like POTA while Indians get bombed and killed regularly.Terrorism is the biggest challenge and issue in India. Instead of enlightening Indians about the shenanigans of the most incompetent Home Minister and President in India's history (S. Patil and P. Patil) in not even enforcing the Supreme Court directive on Afzal, a convicted terrorist, Advani is obsessed with an issue of diminishing returns, the "nuclear bogey". While this could be sign of dementia in this octogenarian politician, it is sheer political hubris. Has Advani forgotten that under Vajpayee, India was about to sign the discriminatory Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) when they lost the election? Now that they have their cake and they want to eat it too, Advani is moaning about India's right to explode nuclear bombs, in stead of worrying about bombs exploding at his rear.With sky-high oil prices, India desperately needs nuclear energy to develop. Under orders from his communist-turned-capitalist masters in Beijing, Karat deliberately delayed the nuclear deal for years. He has gone back to the black holes of Kolkata with his Red Brigade, licking their wounds. What is Lal Advani's excuse as now he sounds more "Lal" (Red) than Karat himself? And let us not forget the corrupt Caste Queen ruling Utter Pradesh, who is busy enriching herself and building expensive grandiose white elephants in stead of promoting development and helping those who voted for her. With politicians like this, one can see why India cannot make real progress like China.Advani has taken India's politics to a new low. When will such Indian politicians, with their soiled dhotis, chewing betel nut, tobacco and then spitting on the side walks, think of and promote India's interest first instead of their own narrow egotistic personal agendas? The best message for Advani is: "Get a life and get over your nuclear shenanigans, unless you want to become the Permanent Prime Minister-in-waiting".
