Nitishs win
The NDAs landslide victory in Bihar was a vote for good governance. It is also indicative of the decline in the fortunes of those who have thus far revelled in playing the caste and community card with panache and have indulged in alleged corrupt practices to the detriment of the poor. The people are getting wiser and will,in future,vote only for those who stand for clean politics,good governance and social justice.

Majority report
The stupendous success of the JD-U and BJP combine was along expected lines,while the massive defeat of the
Congress and RJD was unexpected. Nitish Kumars victory is one of good governance and improved law and order. For the Congress,this is
another big defeat.

Catch 22
The editorial Perspective needed (IE ,November 24) has rightly advised Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to focus on devising an effective infrastructure for ensuring transparent and accountable governance rather than wait for the public outcry against scams to peter out. But it is easier said than done. If the PM gets rid of his tainted partners,they will desert him. If he doesnt,people will doubt his courage to take matters to their logical conclusion and also his leadership ability,if not his integrity. How Manmohan Singh steers clears of it without damaging his governments credibility is a million-dollar question. During UPA-I,he had a comparatively smooth
sailing because his alliance partners from the Left disconcerted him only on policy matters and not on the allotment of ATM ministries .

Distant dream
This refers to your editorial Perspective needed. Scams at the highest level are not new to our system of governance. But the governments inability to initiate action against the guilty has raised many eyebrows internationally,confirming their apprehensions that India is perhaps one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Manmohan Singh,howsoever honest,has failed in his capacity as the leader of the nation. Nor can he perhaps take any strong action to curb the discretionary powers of the political and bureaucratic class. Expectations of bold reforms will remain a distant dream for years.

The troublemakers
It is astounding there is no one to rein in our recalcitrant MPs (Another Day,IE,November 23). Are they not holding Parliament and the nation to ransom by stalling proceedings while pocketing their salaries? A lot of work needs to be done,a lot of legislation needs to be discussed,and our yet MPs
behave like school children. Its time the media pointed out the troublemakers so that these representatives of the people would be caught on the
backfoot.
