Coalition dharma is the worst adharma.

On 19 March the DMK withdrew its support from the Congress led government because it wants India to declare that genocide and war crimes were committed on Tamils in Sri Lanka by the Mahinda Rajapaksa government in 2009. It also wants a credible international commission to investigate these crimes against Tamils. Coincidentally the CBI raided 19 places in Tamil Nadu, including MK Stalin's home, on 21 March apparently looking for evidence of tax evasion on imported cars. Mr Stalin just happens to be the son of the DMK chief, M Karunanidhi and the designated future chief. The DMK naturally assumed that the black hand of Congress was behind the raids as a part of " political vendetta ". Our most revered Prime Minister thought that," The timing of the raid is most unfortunate." That the DMK was whipped into line was proved when it vowed to continue its support of the government. Its excuse - "... we cannot allow communal forces to form a government." It means the BJP which is seen as Hindu party. We would like to know whether the DMK has any members other than Tamils and how many. Surely it is a racist party and the worst thing is that its racism is directed against Indians who are not Tamils. Following this, on 29 March, Mr Mulayam Singh Yadav, MP and Chief of the SP accused the Congress of acting only to win elections saying," They are so clever and such cheats that people believe them all the time." Then on 30 March he does an about turn saying," Now there is no question of SP withdrawing support to the UPA government." Why not? If he knows the Congress to be cheats why is he continuing to support it? Surely it makes him an accomplice in the cheating? Meanwhile Mr Nitish Kumar, Chief Minister of Bihar wants special status for his state which will entitle it to higher plan allocation. He has support of the BJP but is uncomfortable because he wants more " minority " votes. So dump the majority to suck up to the minority. And these people keep spouting about " democracy ". However, if Bihar is to get more money surely it will mean less for other states. Bengal has debts of Rs 2 trillion because of the criminal waste by the previous Communist government. The Chief Minister, Ms Mamata Banerjee wants relief from the debt burden but the Congress is deaf to her pleas. But it has promised to make Bihar a special case and dish out Rs 120 billion of taxpayer money even though Bihar has a growth rate of 12% as compared to the national growth rate of 5%. This spending will be in addition to the Rs 2.5 trillion for the Food Security Bill and the Rs 750 billion to be spent on the Backward Regions Grant Fund. There is a proposal to distribute one tenth of an acre to the rural poor but we have not been told how much it will cost. Political gangs looking for partners for the next government. Damn the country.
