Lost in his home ground, yet playing a Home Minister…

He hopelessly watched Mumbai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Bangalore, Ahmedabad burning and now Delhi. The terror agency who bears the responsibility for the latest Delhi blasts also warned, ‘before the dust settles…’ More to watch for? He doesn’t bother.

What does he care for? The day Delhi wore a deserted look; he was busy changing his looks! A TV channel captured the ‘hopeless’ Home Minister of India, Mr Shivraj Patil in 3 different dresses during a period of 4 hours on the day the capital rocked after 5 serial blasts.

Shivraj Patil enjoys an ‘unconditional’ love from the Congress Party, little lesser than Sonia, but he is important. So much so that even when the voters of his constituency, Latur discarded him in the 2004 elections, he got the second most important position in the Union Cabinet – Home Minister. He was elected to the Rajya Sabha later in the same year. There's nothing that can uproot Mr Shivraj Patil as he boasts "I've full blessings of Sonia Gandhi."   

As a part of my job, I edit our reader’s opinions, 9 out 10 letters today suggested the Home Minister's resignation, 8 out 10 asked why the US never faced a single terror attack since 9/11 and India lets the BAD operation (Bangalore-Ahmedabad-Delhi) a success? Uncountable letters screamed… “We need a law to counter terrorism”. 

BAD was SAD but we might have to ALPHABE(A)T with more of such blasts since the govt is busy singing 'Singh Is King', and the king (along with queen Gandhi) are busy singing 'Sweet Child' for Patil!
