No Belchi Moment
Manmohan Singh’s tryst with black gold in Talabira may turn out to be the badly needed Belchi moment for his Congress party, which is in a state of despair, with the Crown Prince appearing to give credence to the growing perception that “he is an empty suit”. Sonia Gandhi’s dramatic gesture in support of the beleaguered economist turned politician - her march to Singh’s residence at the head of a procession of party heavyweights, and her byte to the TV cameras are un-Sonia-like. These are a clear give away to the plans of 10 Janpath.
