Indrajit Gupta's anti-coalition politics
Saturday, March 8, 1997
Mr. Indrajit Gupta has surpassed S.B. Chavan by attempting to run the Home Ministry by issuing Press statements diametrically opposite those of his own coalition partners. His compulsion to throw the gauntlet has political overtones. It is observed that of late, the Left has been flexing its muscles; that hints at some hidden grand plan. Its vocal pressure on Budget proposals, the mammoth gathering marshaled in Patna, the 10,000 strong mob going on a rampage recently near Mumbai, and now Mr. Indrajit’s Gupta’s public feud with his own Ministry colleagues, are all foreboding of some future moves. The Left will find to its dismay that the public mood will certainly turn against it, if the United Front government is threatened.
