Successful in carrying out their ops. I don't know what the motive is yet because this time nobody seems to have claimed credit or given any reasons. Its odd.

So yes I can't stop talking about governance, the failure of which is evident.
Statements like why is Kasab alive are irrelevant to this discussion. Kasab is a low level operative not a big shot.

Congress Party's votebank politics are well known. they nurture them and don't miss a moment to appease them, for eg:
Four burgeoning suburban slums dwarf Dharavi and there is a reason bomb blasts don't take place in slums.
What do slums have to do with the blasts ?

Which does not mean the opposition is a brave and the most efficient governance provider, but pathetic non-performance should result in overthrow of the incumbent; see the case of TN, ADMK is neither a party of saints nor the holy grail of governance.
Why isn't it happening then. If the opposition cannot get its game together then one blast does not mean the wrong party won. It means the opposition party's crediblity in maha is woefully inadequate to the point it does not fool the voter despite what some fanboys think.

Btw it does not matter whether I know better than an average mumbai voter or not but what efforts have been taken by the incumbent government to augment counter-terror efforts after 26/11 ? 5000 cctv cams are still awaiting HM nod, no special incentives have been planned for informers, no citizens charter as promised, no restriction on rampant media reporting and trampling of evidence, rejection of all offers from countries like US and Israel for training of police forces in counter-terrorism efforts, no stringent message to terrorists by punishing the culprits and master-minds behind them, <SNIP>
Here we go, this is what you should be asking instead. Why indeed.

1. Agree
2. Forget Pakistan, lame foreign hand excuse this & that, let them plan whatever, we have to be able to deter whatever comes. Have you been following what goes in Pakistan btw, some attack every other month or the other. They can't even stop attacks in their own country let alone in India. This stupid Indian bias has to end. It just gives our politicans excuses to point fingers elsewhere. 26/11 was an exception but until evidence appears in this specific case, i would not jump to conclusions. We should be working on finding these 'local indian boys' instead.
3. Speculative. Dates are irrelevant. Its odd nobody claims credit for this. That the cherry ontop of the pie.
4. no point 4 oops.
5. gives currency to the claim that whenever talks occur something must happen to derail them. But our current stance isn't producing any positive results as rightly said by the foreign secy. The talks should contine.
6. premature comment
7. contradicts point 6 of swfit action doesn't it. The best plan is to leave Pakistan to her own devices. She seems to be making a royal mess of it without our help.
Overall this article is clutching at straws when very little has been established. Insinuating about Pakistan is just more stupidity when we don't even KNOW who in india is responsible. Take out the local operatives and what they plan in Pakistan isn't going to matter anymore.

Well if people don't vote nor talk politics, we cannot solve political problems, as simple as that. being politically correct is not my style. so please don't argue just for the sake of arguing.
Hey, i love a good scrap, have no probs talking politics, its just that pro-BJP comments for no reason in a state that rejected them not long ago seems desperate. Almost to say as if BJP was in power in Maha this would never have happened which is utter BS fanboy talk.
