Manish Tewari castigating former Comptroller and Auditor General Vinod Rai and challenging him to a public debate on 2G loss amounts to calling the Supreme Court for a debate, given the latter cancelled 2G licences of 122 telecom companies. One wonders whether it is arrogance of power that gives this Congressman, and others in general, the brazenness to speak in public, however deep the charges of corruption. So long as the Opposition is divided - wasting time blaming one another - the elephant Congress is roaming freely and trampling everyone else on its way. The opinion poll on the performance of the United Progressive Alliance-II (UPA-II) conducted by two popular TV channels clearly reflect the level of dissatisfaction among the urban poor and the urban population across the country. Comments from the Congress and its popular spokespersons Tewari and Mani Shankar Aiyar would be welcome on this front. The performance of UPA-II is an open-and-shut case.
