That is the worrying part. After all, that the Congress’ current leadership has shown itself catastrophically incompetent is one thing. That should bother nobody but them, and their own dwindling band of die-hards, who have more and more to forgive and less and less patience with which to do it. But that the Congress’ leadership is also intent on becoming the sort of mindless opposition that it justly criticised over the past decade should infuriate us all.
Consider the Congress party’s reaction to the news that the government had announced the “decontrol” of diesel prices — that they would henceforth be determined by market forces. Diesel subsidies used to be one of the biggest holes in the Union Budget. But in January 2013, the last government took the decision to move prices up gradually every month, till the per-litre subsidy was wiped out. That happened some months ago, actually, and the government has only now implemented the last and least politically difficult step of the plan set into motion by its predecessor almost two years ago — a decision that, remember, caused the government to be reduced to a minority. Even the official press release on diesel decontrol from this government references the Cabinet decision taken by the last lot.
