The President of India has announced today the appointment of Governors to some states. The issue of appontment of Governor has been made political long back. About T.N. politics, Cho used to write, "jeyichchaa M.L.A., thoththaa vaariyath thalaivar" (If you win, you become an MLA and if you loose, you would be appointed the Chairman of some Govt. corporation). Congress Party extended this culture with Governor appointment.
1. A politically political leader would become the C.M. and not so saavy would become the Governor (Rosaiah, for example).
2. After having been in the position of C.M. for too long, one gets the position of Governor
3. When one can not win elections, then one gets appointed as Governor
4. One can take turns among the position of State Minister, Central Minister and Governor depending upon one's clout.
But what is disturbing in the current round is the age of appointees. They are in their late 70s or early 80s. Why does one need power at this age? What can the country gain from such people? Is Governor post a viagra for their lust (for position)? Congress party has been doing a big shame to India in every aspect. And this one is no exception.
We have heard of socialism but it is now Soniaism! :loco: So much so for a party which is existing for more than 100 years!
