	Religiosity in Politics Dangerous
		Congress spokespersons accept that, grammatically speaking, the Hindutva of the BJP and Hinduism as put forth by the Congress mean the same thing.
		This surrender by the Congress to invoke religiosity in political field is doubly dangerous from the point of view of human rights, when the country is already undergoing a trauma of minority witch-hunt and killings of Christian minorities.
		The effort of Congress is a matter of deep concern and bodes ill for the development of a healthy, secular political agenda, without which human rights can never take roots.

	GN Online: Ravi's rise jolts Karunakaran camp
		The elevation of Vayalar Ravi as the general secretary of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) yesterday has come as a severe jolt to the 'I' group in the Kerala unit of the party headed by veteran leader K. Karunakaran.
		Though Ravi leads the so-called 'fourth group' in the party, the weakest among the Congress party factions in the state, observers say that his rise to the status of the party general secretary is bound to effect changes in the group equations.
		It is said that Sonia upgraded 65-year-old Ravi to the status of the Congress Working Committee sidelining 84-year-old Karunakaran on the ground of age, but observers see the elevation as a sign of the latter's waning image and influence in New Delhi.

		But the son of Congress president Sonia Gandhi has given no indication that he is ready for the Himalayan task.
		Senior leaders admit that the Congress, which dominated Uttar Pradesh from independence in 1947 till the 1980s, needs a "magic wand" to regain the state that has produced most of India's prime ministers.
		But today caste firmly rules politics in Uttar Pradesh, like in many other states, and the Congress is a poor also ran, its candidates failing to even save their election deposits in one constituency after another.

		The Congress had first indicated on December 15 that the situation in the state was grim and that it would support the imposition of President's rule.
		The Congress has shot itself in the foot in the recent cases mentioned because the coterie around Ms Sonia Gandhi decides what is to be done.
		The coterie thrives because Congress lacks internal democracy which would have enabled politically astute leaders to rise to highest positions from below by their own effort and make sure that the party was not afflicted by a death wish.
