What is behind the Rathore smirk?

Answering questions about whether Mr Rahul Gandhi will become the leader of the Lok Sabha our most revered Home Minister has said," Why not? Mr Gandhi can accept an office in government or in the party or in the House. I am sure he will do very well in any of these places." TOI, 29 July. TOI does not mention what position the minister was in when he made these comments. Was he standing straight in attention mode or sitting in a chair or lying flat prone on the ground in what is known as the saashtaang position. He continued," But whoever would be appointed to this or that post is the decision that only the Congress President in consultation with the Prime Minister can take but I think we will welcome him in any post." The revered minister should not have given the game away. He has proved that it is Ms Sonia Gandhi who is running the country which explains why our Prime Minister has spent 8 years answering every question with a Rathore smirk. The poor man has no power or any clue as to what is going on. It is therefore imperative that we have proof that Ms Gandhi has renounced citizenship of Italy and has an official paper from the Italian government saying that she has no rights on that country. It also means that the Prime Minister, who has never been elected, is hanging onto his chair by kowtowing to the ground and can do bugger all to improve the economy. This explains why 100 protesters, including 8 women, protested outside the Prime Minister's official residence at 7 Race Course Road yesterday and managed to write " Manmohan chor hai or Manmohan is a thief " on the gate of the house. They threw pieces of coal to highlight the scam involving granting of licenses for mining coal at a time when the Prime Minister was in charge of the coal ministry. The protesters threw coins at the Prime Minister's house as symbolic bribes to encourage the Prime Minister to set up a Special Investigation Team to probe charges of corruption against 15 ministers. This is highly unlikely as the Prime Minister is one of the 15 ministers that have been alleged to be corrupt. The Prime Minister is visiting Assam where the Congress state government was unable to prevent riots between Bodos, who are Christians, and illegal immigrants from Bangladesh who have been allowed to swamp parts of the state. Had Hindus been involved the anti Hindu Congress would have happily taken them out but this being between 2 " minorities " they have been paralysed into inaction. The more the criminals the more the crime. It has become impossible to control.
