Stepping into a blind alley -
Sandhya Jain, Pioneer
After running the gamut of destructive vote-harvesting ideas like non-repayable loan melas and farm-loan waivers that brought little relief or advancement to the intended beneficiaries, the Congress has discovered education as the new mantra to entice the masses and defer accountability for non-performance. The promise of universal free education up to the age of 14 years was first made in the Constituent Assembly, and swiftly shunted into the non-binding Directive Principles of State Policy.

 When television news anchor Rahul Kanwal got through to Srinivasan and asked him about Meiyappan’s arrest, the BCCI president reacted with thuggish belligerence: 'Shut up, just shut up. I will fix the whole lot of you.' It’s amusing, of course, that “fixing” appears to be uppermost on Srinivasan’s mind even at this stage.This IPL series has shown up the carnival to be a can of worms and India’s cricket administration to be rotten at its core.
