What happened to our leaders?

I was laughing silently when I read the following in the newspapers. See how you felt about them.

Chidambaram countering BJP allegations
I believe our home minister is a capable person. I also believe he is capable of delivering as home minister. However, his statement countering BJP's allegations of his involvement in the 2G scam (in his capacity as former finance minister) looked childish and silly.
He said he is being targeted (he had bracketed himself with the prime minister of course) by the saffron brigade because he had initative probe into suspected 'saffron' terror links. I felt this statement very silly. It reminded me of my childhood when I used to tell my furious parents that I kicked my younger brother because he, who is many years younger to me, pinched me.

Congress asking Hazare to contest against Kapil Sibal
What a funny and childish statement from a grand old partyI Anyone in the country knows Anna cannot win an election against Sibal (or against any politicians) from anywhere in the country. Our old poor Gandhian does not understand the permutations and combinations of our politicians' strategic calculations. (or he knows them better!) Why Hazare! Even our real Gandhi (I mean Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi) cannot win an election now even if he is fielded against R Raja. (You have to see the caste factor)

Yeddyurappa's Karnataka comedy!
I know this man cries for everything. Poor chap, he is very sentimental. The BJP should have considered this before asking him to quit as CM. I read he cried that loudly in a meeting after his return from Delhi. Interestingly, all his men cried with him. Alas! I missed that great comic scene. (Yeddy had reportedly asked his MLAs to switch off the mobile phone before his action.)

The comedy I missed
I was expecting another comedy last month. Sadly, that was not the right time to expect a comedy. It was during the Mumbai bomb blasts! I was expecting a statement from senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh accusing saffron brigade for the terror attack. He came very close, though. Wonder he did not say that he received a call from one of the victims (most probably a diamond vendor from Zaveri Bazar) that he was under saffron threat.

Very true and I wd like to recall what Rahul Gandhi said --I'm ashamed to be called as an Indian.... Actually, this govt(central) has done nothing to Corruption,inflation,terrorism!!! three most important factors that deteriorates Indian progress as a developed nation... What is more frustrating is that they have started accusing RSS as a terror group thereby dismantling the very base/foundation of modern India - Secularism. BJP-on the other hand has succumbed to BSY's drama and hence an ineffective opposition. I pity Anna Hazare, and his acts will eventually end without any result.
