With enemies like this, does Manmohan need friends?

In other news, Comrade Karat continues his single-handed decimation of the CPI(M) in Kerala by throwing Comrade VS out of the Politburo. Given VS's popularity among swing voters, the CPI(M) may now come back to power in Kerala by 2050 or so, if they're lucky.

And Shri LK Advani seems to be doing the same to the BJP. His latest bit of brilliance is to call for EVMs to be scrapped and ballot paper to be brought back. Perhaps he pines for the days of ballot stuffing, booth capturing and slow unreliable vote counts. Too bad nobody else this side of 1950 does.

It would take incompetence of monumental proportions for the Congress to lose the next elections.
Unfortunately for us, they're more than capable of delivering that.
