There is a marriage of convenience in Delhi. While Manmohan Singh looks into the governance, Sonia Gandhi keeps the field clear for him on a political front, ensuring that Dr. Singh gets a good diagnosis of everything that’s wrong with the Country. While this scenario lends itself well on a national level, the same cannot be said of its efficiency in the state level. So if Mrs. Gandhi were to think that A P can be remote controlled from Delhi, come 2014 she will be in for a rather unpleasant shock. The AICC chief already has her “Yes Coterie” losing no opportunity in stating that Congress won in A P because of the clean image of Sonia Gandhi and Dr. Singh. If only that were entirely true, why one wonders did the Congress not win in MP and Karnataka. The fact remains that Dr YSR mobilized a rag tag team of dissenters and made them a fighting fit force which could capitalize on their own strengths and the opposition weaknesses. The moment that Mrs. Gandhi loses sight of this fact will be the moment when Congress will lose its footing in A P.
