PRIDE OR SHAME
With elections round the corner, the coalition National Conference and Congress are putting on display their heroic muscle power to impress voters. Cabinet meetings have become ideal forum for playing to the galleries. This has been the compulsion of coalition culture ever since 2002, with partners playing more opposition than unison. In the process public interest has got severe dent from time to time.
Is it a matter of pride or shame for the power hungry politicians to blow hot blow cold when their personal interests are at stake, caring two hoots for the public welfare?
