Congress has the people's mandate? Give me a break!!!
So they say that Sonia is not going to be PM even though the Congress has the peoples' mandate! That's a joke. With 148 seats out of the 539 that results are declared for, they are roughly a little more than the quarter mark. Even the Congress along with their pre poll allies are nowhere near the simple majority mark of 272. So what mandate? At best its a fractured mandate. And if people say that the BJP has been throughly rejected by the people, then they would be down to double digits, not just 8 shy of the Congress tally.
Sonia is smart and knows her limitations. The cynic in me says that she wants a fall guy who will take the blame if things go bad. If they do not, then she needs someone who will not be an alternate power center in the Congress. Manmohan Singh lacks a mass base and therefore cannot be a power center (he's a Rajya Sabha MP after all). So its a win-win situation. Take the wind out of the BJP's sails and also make sure that you aren't blamed if the government collapses. Smart, na?
To her credit, she's conducted herself with dignity unlike all the sycophants in the Congress. Good for her.
