Anna's master-stroke




The politics in recent months is presenting very incredible game. The Congress choosing a bad bowler to ball, then dropping catches, missing ball to boundary, giving extras with no and wide deliveries. Anna, Sachin-Sehwag combine of the game, hitting stroke over stroke. It seems, he is teaching Congress about how not to take granted everything once Gandhis on your side! His recent appeal to Hissar people to not to vote for congress, is master-stroke! 
The Congress always wanted to hold its views to be center of any debate. Anything opposite, is usually being condemned as anti-India, anti-Secular! Anna, by openly opposing the Congress in election without actually taking part in election, is widening and deepening our polity. Here, he is not choosing his candidate or supporting any other party. He just wanted to declare - Don't take us granted till winter session! By not taking direct part in election and still campaigning for a cause is in itself master-stroke. It is also a reminder for our politician and parties that politics is not about them and election. It is also about people participation. The participation, that goes beyond mere vote, but widening the debate, setting agendas, reforming the polity. Its now for Team Anna to spread this message. The Parties and politician (including Congress) should come to terms atleast now than never and should pro-actively engage at this historic juncture of India.
