How Congress Wrecks Institutions
Pratap Bhanu Mehta writes in Indian Express (Apr 29) in an op-ed entitled “Battering ram”:
…Another explanation [for why the Congress is struggling, despite ostensibly favourable circumstances] is that the Congress carries unsavoury baggage: its capacity to wreck institutions. The Congress lost credibility because Indira Gandhi went about destroying institutions, from the judiciary to her own party. As the recent reports in this paper of the government’s interference with the CBI suggest, this propensity has not gone away. Not just the CBI, but the authority and credibility of independent constitutional offices have been consistently undermined. The quality and partisan conduct of some of the governors appointed under the UPA did not reflect well on the office. The appointment of Navin Chawla to the Election Commission did not do much for the credibility of that institution.
…It is said that in infrastructure the Congress cannot be accused of dropping the ball since it never picked it up. In institutions, it has a history of picking up the ball, and then using it to batter them.
