[ad_1]
The Congress, which is within the opposition on the nationwide degree, has turned “feeble and disintegrated”, Shiv Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ stated on Saturday, and steered that each one anti-BJP parties, together with the Sena, should come collectively under the UPA banner to offer a formidable different.
It stated that these in energy on the Centre had been detached in the direction of the continued farmers’ protest, and “ineffective” opposition is probably the most distinguished purpose behind the federal government’s apathy.
The ‘Saamana’ additionally stated that as a substitute of blaming the central authorities, the principle opposition get together should introspect about its management concern.
“Farmers are protesting on the national capital borders. But the rulers in Delhi are completely indifferent towards this agitation. Disintegrated and feeble opposition party is the main reason behind the government’s indifference.
Ineffective opposition is leading to this disintegration of democracy,” it stated.
“Instead of blaming the government, the opposition party should introspect. There has to be a mass appeal to the opposition leadership. But on this front, that party is standing on the brink,” it stated.
“Rahul Gandhi individually is putting up a strong fight, but something is lacking…The present condition of the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) is like an NG0.”
“Even the UPA constituents do not seem to have taken the farmers’ protest seriously. There is no clarity about what these constituents exactly do,” the Marathi day by day stated.
“NCP chief Sharad Pawar is an independent personality at the national level. In West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee is waging a lonely battle. The country’s opposition party should stand by her at this time. Mamata Banerjee has contacted only Pawar and he is going to Bengal. But this should have been done under the leadership of the Congress,” it stated.
“Trinamool Congress, Shiv Sena, Akali Dal, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), Akhilesh Yadav, Jaganmohan Reddy’s YSR Congress, K. Chandrasekhar Rao from Telangana, Odisha”s Naveen Patnaik, Karnataka’s H D Kumaraswamy are all against the BJP, but they are not part of the Congress-led UPA. Unless all of them join the UPA, the opposition cannot provide a formidable alternative,” it added.
“Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was arrested in Delhi (during a protest march over farm laws); Rahul Gandhi was publicly ridiculed by the BJP; the Thackeray government in Maharashtra is not allowed to function; BJP leaders are on record saying that the prime minister was instrumental in toppling the Kamal Nath government in Madhya Pradesh. All this is not good for democracy,” it stated.
The onus of making certain that the scenario doesn’t deteriorate additional is on the Congress get together, ‘Saamana’ stated.
“Senior Congress leaders like Ahmed Patel, Motilal Vora are no more. There is no clarity on who will lead the Congress and what the future of the UPA is. Just like there is no party other than the BJP in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), there is no one else in the UPA. But the BJP is in complete power and they have powerful leadership in Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. The UPA has none,” it stated.
“Alarm bells are ringing that if the Congress does not give a serious thought to these issues, then future looks difficult for everyone,” it added.
