Parliament being not allowed to function by the Opposition defies logic!
There is more to it than meets the eye.
Congress, or more specifically Sonia and Rahul, have taken the lead in sabotaging the session.
And it has nothing to do with the upcoming Bihar Election, for Congress is not a significant player there.
Many in Congress are reluctant participants in this sham protest. And other opposition parties mute spectators only because this was the first instance, they thought, they can beat Modi and NDA with something.
Frankly the issue they chose, of Sushma helping out Lalit Modi, is at best an impropriety and not corruption by any means.
And that too for Sonia and Rahul to lead the stalling antics from the front is rare. Normally they let their henchmen, Congress MPs, to do the dirty work.
So why did they expose themselves to the point of being ridiculed?
Many have opined that the mother and son couldn't stand losing power. But this is too simple an answer.
There is lot of discontent within the party. Amarinder Singh was conspicuous by his absence, and he is the Deputy Leader of the party in the House. Shashi Tharoor was openly critical of the disruptive strategy and most of the veterans are unhappy with Rahul's brigade dictating the affairs of the party.
Sonia or rather Rahul thought (well, cant say he thought, as he is incapable of any thought process. So rather his dumb advisers thought) that by attacking Sushma Swaraj, they can keep the flock together.
Also, this could be a pre emptive strike, as the enquiry on Vadras land deal, the National Herald Case and the Black Money bill could prove to be detrimental to the family in the near term.
They know Modi is no Vajpayee. Vajpayee was too soft on Sonia, and should have finished her off 17 years ago, but didn't and India has to pay the price. Modi is made of different stuff. He is tough, ruthless and has a history of finishing off his political rivals. He decimated the entire Congress leadership in Gujarat, and has totally neutralized trouble makers like Advani, Joshi and even upstarts like Sushma Swaraj and Rajnath Singh, within the party.
He has been overtly polite to all his political opponents after becoming the PM to build consensus, be it Mufti Muhammed Sayid, or Mulayam Singh Yadav, Lalu, Sharad Pawar and the Mercurial Mamta Bannerjee. Jayalalitha is of course an old friend of his. He has been courteous to Sonia and Rahul whenever they meet, though Sonia rebuffed him when he went to greet her in Parliament recently.
It looks like Modi reaching out to other leaders, which is as it should be (One can oppose politically but can/should have a good personal rapport with all), is being taken as a sign of weakness by Sonia. And she is making a big mistake and is likely to regret in leisure.
Modi quietly tolerated the nonsense in the hope of getting the GST bill passed somehow. Now that this has not happened, wait for him to lower the boom.
And then the anti national Mother and Son would be running for cover. As of now, by the end of Parliament session, they are friendless. The whole country is against them. The industrial houses wont give them a rupee as donation, as they are seething.
Modi has managed to turn the tide against Sonia and Rahul and have isolated them.
As on date, Sonia and Rahul don't even have a single friend left standing, with the exception of Sitaram Yechury, whose party itself is a pariah to all and sundry.
