Mere opposition
* Apropos BJP who? (IE,September 29),it is true that the BJP,anxious to achieve its political goals,is busy criticising the Congress. However,most political parties like to blame external forces. The Congress,for instance,would like to blame foreign powers for its failures in governance. As the main opposition party,the BJP needs to tell the people how its policies and programmes will be different from the Congresss and how it can reverse the economic slowdown if it comes to power.

Losing team
* FOR all practical purposes,Anna Hazares crusade against corruption has run out of steam. However,its decline has come faster than most people expected (Anna Hazare decides not to accept funds despite Arvind Kejriwals offer,IE,September 23). Members of Hazares campaign had their own agendas. Arvind Kejriwal opposed the Congress candidate in the Hisar Lok Sabha by-election while Kiran Bedi is clearly inclined towards the BJP. Prashant Bhushan ruffled feathers with his statements on Jammu and Kashmir. Their flop show at the Mumbai fast last year framed the waning of the campaign. The Jantar Mantar fast by Kejriwal and Manoj Sisodia brought the split within into the open. While Kejriwal and Sisodia decided to take the political route,Hazare and Bedi went into a huge sulk. It is unlikely that the campaign will be back any time soon.

Famous victory
* INDIAS emphatic win over Pakistan will be savoured for a long time. (Kohli gives finishing touch,IE,October 1). Our players clicked in every department of the game. Virender Sehwag and Laxmipathy Balaji fully justified their reinduction into the playing eleven. Virat Kohli was at his usual belligerent best,and what to say about Irfan Pathan who is maturing from match to match? Pathan invariably provides India the initial breakthrough from where the spinners can take over. The surprise package was Yuvraj Singh,who pegged back the Pakistani batsmen when they were threatening to take away the game from India. He and Ravichandran Ashwin,with their measured bowling,kept Pakistan under control. Restricting Pakistan to 128 made the job that much easier for India.

* THIS refers to Judges cant change world,must do duty for service: CJI at farewell (IE,September 29). Outgoing Chief Justice of India S.H. Kapadia sets a tall order for all citizens of our country,not just the judiciary. He finished 20 years as a judge without a taking single days leave,even when he fractured his leg. It is unbelievable in todays day and age.
