Mission impossible-May be not

The Congress VP is on a desperate mission of resurrecting his party fortunes. An economist PM heading the UPA-I had largely delivered .There were dissensions within but the need to prove a point to the ousted NDA  kept the egos in Congress in check. The  unexpected windfall of 206 seats for Congress in  2009 proved to be the end of these inhibitions within and it was every one to himself thereafter ,and that included the allies.The liberal and inclusive policies put in motion by the Congress had shut out the regular Left which was packed off into political hibernation.  Pranab Da was  not exactly a success as the FM and then,the scams going viral. That the  UPA-II  could last for two long years since late 2011,ought to be ranked as a political miracle that a coalition government alone can perform ,of course aided by a sulking BJP, itself in  disarray.It is because of all this that  Rahul Gandhi  does not need much nerve today on the threshold of national elections,to  castigate corruption !. That too when AAP is already center stage and thriving , on the issue. To cap all this the Congress goes to town  supporting the AAP government in Delhi. Rahul and his party may well hit it off ,given that  BJP  is left with the  singleton Modi card, that is not infallible to rapid paced changes in the national scene leading up to 2014 ,as also its own uncertain internal equations .
