Missing The Leader
The nation seems to be in the middle of a
leadership crisis. An opinion poll conducted by ORG-MARG for INDIA TODAY
shows that both Vajpayee and Sonia Gandhi's popularity ratings have dropped,
leaving the people yearning for a strong leader like Indira Gandhi.
Leaders In Crisis
The INDIA TODAY-ORG-MARG opinion poll last January
was Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's wake-up call. He chose to put
the alarm clock on snooze and thereby accelerated the decline in his Government's
popularity.
