Various politicians and political parties claim to speak in the name of Gandhi: the Congress because he was in that party for a very long time, Narendra Modi because he was also a Gujarati, the Aam Admi Party because its main leaders were, like Gandhi, professionals who became social activists. All these claims are dubious. The cronyism and corruption of the Congress is worlds removed from Gandhi or Gandhism; as is the megalomania and sectarianism of Mr Modi. As for the AAP, their claims to be Gandhian in inspiration are nullified by the negative nature of their politics, which is based so completely on carping attacks on other parties” said Ramachandra Guha, one of the foremost Indian historians of this era, in a recent interview. (In his latest book Gandhi Before India (Allen Lane, Rs 899) he chronicles the early life of Mahatma Gandhi). But why this historian did not mention Lok Satta Party, which always stood for reconciling the conflicting interests in the society in every issue as in the case of state division in AP and brought positive politics in the second freedom movement of India.
IF NOT CONGRESS JAGIR, IS IT YOUR Krishna, GUNTUR ,PRAKASAM DT'S 'kamma' jagir?. BETTER HOLD YOUR TONGUE. JAGIRDARS ARE BETTER THAN 'FUEDAL KAMMAS' OF COASTAL ANDHRA.
