Emperor's Old Clothes

**********************************************************************************************************


 





...Mustafa, who was a minister in the K Karunakaran Ministry in the early 1990s, had told a news conference in Kochi yesterday that Rahul depended on a coterie close to him during the campaign and said "acting like a joker" would not help in elections.

"He (Rahul) should resign from the party. He should not continue. If he doesn't resign voluntarily, he should be removed. He acted like a joker (during the poll campaign)....," Mustafa had said....





Of course I don't agree with Mustafa at all. 

Defeat is a collective responsibility unlike victory. One should act gracefully in defeat like Churchill forgot to say:

"In war, resolution; in defeat defiance; in victory magnanimity"

I agree wholeheartedly with this guy who had graciously offered Damoji a place at the AICC venue for selling his tea. You would have thought he fell silent after the coronation of our Damoji which he had proclaimed would never happen...never.

Not for him stunned silence (ibid):

...In Nagpur, senior Congress leader and former union minister Mani Shankar Aiyar disagreed with Mustafa's assessment...

The great thing about our Mani is his absolute honesty...he once said that all the Shakespeare he ever learned was from Jeeves (like me)...
