With the Ommen Chandy government deciding not to act against
the police officers who initiated the police investigation in the infamous
palmolein scandal, the Congress party has
demonstrated it’s ungratefulness once again. The case and the controversy
that followed caused the Leader, K.Krunakaran to resign from the Chief Minister’s
post, never to regain it. More importantly this case which smacked of conspiracy
from within the party was a big psychological blow to the Leader as it was a result
of a grand conspiracy hatched by many of his party colleagues. K.Karnukaran was
no longer the center force in the UDF.
We have witnessed Congress party adopting a similar approach
towards P.V.Narasimha Rao as well. Ironically, it was Rao’s indifference that
forced the Leader to succumb to pressure from within the party during the
palmolein scandal. One can only wish that the grand old party could learn from
it’s past mistakes and start rectifying them.
