The Congress senses there is a middle class revolt brewing but doesn't know how to arrest it. That is why it is not even sure of what line to take and when. It is not unusual for a ruling party and its Government to speak in two voices. The Congress and the UPA Government headed by Mr Manmohan Singh have done one better. They are beginning to speak in three voices. In the process, the party is tying itself up in knots and contradictions. A series of examples from recent days testifies to this.
