Con in consensus -
Indian Express
he July presidential election is throwing up daily possibilities of political realignment. In a situation where the numbers do not add up for the ruling UPA, even if it were to count on its allies, which it can’t, and given that the main opposition front falls way short of the magic figure as well, two proposals have gained some currency in the last few days. Let’s choose a president by consensus, says one. And, let him/her be “non-political”.

Verbatim |
 The UPA 2 government was conceived in corruption – and never really recovered from that taint. Right from the day the election results came in, the back-channel negotiations began for the reappointment of A Raja as Telecom Minister to advance the interests of certain telecom majors (in return for illegal gratification). It was an enterprise which set the stage for India’s biggest corruption scandal and virtually set the political tone for the rest of the four years. As subsequent exposes have established, Manmohan Singh and other key Ministers knew full well that mischief was afoot, but pointedly looked the other way. That was the beginning of the slide, and the UPA government in general – and Manmohan Singh in particular – was mortally wounded from that episode. But rather than press ahead with remedial action, the government slid further into the cesspool of corruption.

Split with Nitish will only boost BJP in Bihar -
K Balakrishnan, LensOnNews
