Indian or not?

Ever since the Prime Minister has taken over the Finance portfolio, following the elevation of the Finance Minister to be candidate for President the Sensex has jumped by 500 points or so. Freeloading journalists have built up the Prime Minister's credentials as a World Famous Economist who was responsible for the reforms in 1991 although there is considerable evidence that this is incorrect. If he is such a hotshot economist why has he allowed mindless social schemes to be started encouraging fiscal deficit, roaring inflation and a diving rupee? Since yesterday tax has been imposed on every service including hospitals and postage. This combination of extortionate taxes and uncontrolled inflation is reducing the middle class to poverty, reducing demand and will result in depression. For 6 years journalists have been complaining that the Dear Leader does not say anything preferring to answer all queries with a Rathore smirk. The reason maybe that he does not have a clue or that, not having a power base of his own, he prefers to hang on to his kursi by genuflecting to Ms Sonia Gandhi and agreeing to her every whim however suicidal it maybe for the country. That entitles us, as citizens, to ask is Ms Gandhi an Indian? Has she formally renounced Italian citizenship and has a paper to prove it? This is not being nationalistic or anti foreigners. President Obama showed his long birth certificate to prove that he was born in the US and thus entitled to stand for president. But this is more important than a question about constitutional propriety. A commercial pilot is not allowed to carry a parachute so that he will try his best to save his passengers in an effort to preserve his own life. If Ms Gandhi has indeed renounced her Italian citizenship then her fate is bound with that of this country and her insistence on social schemes maybe construed as altruistic, even if misguided. But if she still retains her Italian citizenship then we would be entitled to question whether her actions are motivated purely by the selfish wish of making her son the prime minister at all costs, never mind the cost to the people of India. The Congress has very cleverly managed to sidetrack any questions regarding Ms Gandhi's nationality by packaging her as the nation's Bahu ( daughter-in-law ) but when the very future of the nation is at stake this sentimental bilge will not wash. We do not want Craxi or an Andreotti to be our prime minister and definitely not a Berlusconi even if our politicians may desire bunga bunga parties. We want proper answers. Let Ms Gandhi show an official document from the Italian government that they have accepted her renunciation of citizenship. Or else she must stand down.
