Consolidated relationship
Ms Seema Chishti has suggested (‘The Next Big idea’, July
19) that the Congress should now shift into fourth gear. Having
failed in agriculture, PM Manmohan Singh is taking a direct interest
in this sector. The Big Idea of the UPA was the SEZ. Make it successful.
One woman’s confidence and courage brought the UPA to power,
and for the relationship of that with electoral success to endure,
the government must not only deliver on its promise, but think afresh.

Loss of touch
Sonia Gandhi has clamped the country with an undeserving candidate
as President, and the Congress will not
be able to live down the ignominy of depriving Dr Kalam of a second
term. The President’s office was also buffaloed in 1969, when
Indira Gandhi advocated a “vote by conscience” to manipulate
the election of VV Giri. We’ve always loved Sonia Gandhi. When
a bomb killed Rajiv, we wept and consoled her. When she entered politics,
we buoyed her. Now, she has lost touch. Like Indira Gandhi, she has
stopped listening to India’s people.

Thorns do prick
Thanks for publishing my KPO letter, but must it be shortened
so much? Also, my name is JS Broca, not JS Brocha. This has happened
for the second time. Shakepeare said, “What’s in a name?”,
a rose et al. But thorns do prick.
