The Final Hours
The Atal Behari Vajpayee government is set to fall this
week. After a year of tottering and non-governance, the BJP-led coalition is finally
collapsing under its own weight as had been predicted by right-thinking forces even on the
day that the Prime Minister had taken oath. The denouement to a farcical tragedy which was
going on in the name of an 18-party coalition has now come about with the AIADMK, one of
its major allies opting to pull out its ministers from the government and then, resigning
from the coordination committee of the coalition.
