Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley has asked why the opposition is expected to cooperate with a government that has repeatedly failed to take decisions,and is riven by dissension. You are expecting me to support a government which has decided to be indecisive. We have supported and saved bills, Jaitley said when asked,at the Express Adda in Mumbai on Tuesday,why the opposition does not support important legislation. I am not going to support law in vacuum. There is no consensus within the UPA and the Congress,even ideologically, Jaitley said. Jaitley interacted with a select audience of the whos who of the financial capital at the Adda,a series of conversations hosted by the Express Group with individuals at the centre of change in our times. In the course of a freewheeling conversation that travelled from Anna Hazare to the Indian disaster Down Under,and from the civic administration in Mumbai to political populism in India,Jaitley wondered why people with a soiled image did well in politics. In terms of the larger democracy,we havent been able to create the kind of revulsion we have to create for this kind of public behaviour. There has to be a sustained campaign. Recent campaigns may have some impact but we still have some distance to travel, he said.
