Sonia says no to being Prime Minister from Newspaper Silicon India

[Guest guest]

NEW DELHI: In a development that has left political circles stunned, Congress

president Sonia Gandhi Tuesday declined to become prime

minister of India saying that she did not want the issue of

her foreign origin to divide the nation.

 

Gandhi, who is being persuaded by senior leaders of her

party and the victorious multiparty United Progressive

Alliance (UPA) to change her mind, has apparently suggested

Manmohan Singh or Pranab Mukherjee, both senior leaders of her party, for

the job.

 

Both have served as finance ministers under different prime

ministers. Mukherjee has also been foreign minister in the

government of prime minister P.V. Narasimha Rao.

 

 

 

The Italy-born Gandhi said her aim was

to lead the party to victory in the national election

and not to aspire for the post of prime

minister.

 

Gandhi, along with Singh, met President

A.P.J. Abdul Kalam shortly after noon and

apparently conveyed her decision to him. Her allies

were subsequently informed.

 

She, however, did not break the news to

the army of assembled journalists outside

Rashtrapati Bhavan, the presidential palace, and instead told them that the

president had called them Wednesday for further discussions

on the formation of a new government after the elections.

 

Senior Congress leaders immediately went into a huddle

Tuesday afternoon and many sounded dispirited over the

course of events.

 

Many others, when contacted, were not aware of the

developments that were taking place behind closed doors and

in the presence of only very senior leaders and her confidants.

 

Others preferred to wait and watch, hoping against hope

that the person who had led the party and alliance to a

stunning victory in the elections would still change her mind.

 

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had threatened to boycott

her oath-taking ceremony and had said the assumption of a

foreign-born woman to the job of prime minister would be a

blow to national honour and self-esteem.

I think that such rapidly flowing events can not be seen from a

horoscope.

One can see the end results or overall results or longterm results.

I am still wondering how these political astro forecasts are made.
