RAybati I am not a fan of Girija or any political leader. Yet I am beginning to admire Girija for cetain of his qualities and retain his grip within NC. The ultimate goal of a politician is to be in the position to implicate his/her philosophies, policies for the betterment of the people. Time and again, Girija has failed to do that and has broken the policies. laws he himself made viz no more than two terms for the president of NC. Despite this kind of breaking of the rules, very few NC members could challenge him. Ironically, most of them voted, opted him as next leader. So why to blame Girija? He is successful as a politician in remaining/retaining the power and do/say whatever he wants. (he is not a true leader in this sense as he does not represent the vision of the public or party that a genuine leader follows). His win must have set a very bad example among people who are looking for alternatives, that too from a old, experience and mature (?) political party like NC.
