For a decade and more Shiela Dixit had the trappings of a Chief Minister of Delhi with no authority over its law and order machinery, nor the freedom to enact laws through her " Legislative assembly " without approval of Union Home Ministry. She was in fact a glorified mayor of the city whose municipal revenues were comparable to Mumbai Corporation !.It took a dharna by Kejriwal on the Delhi streets in a shivering wintry night, to expose the hollowness of the CM's position. She nevertheless did little to elevate either herself or her chair through her entire tenure.She lost to Kejriwal in the polls.
Dr Singh on the other hand had no such constitutional restraints to function.And yet he has led UPA-II to a dismal end .Had he quit a year and half earlier at the peak of the scams ,he would not only have saved his personal standing but in the process saved the the Congress too from the ignominy of such a pitiable LS tally.In trying to save few remaining months of UPA-II ,Congress has perhaps lost an entire decade now.
