UPA’s Twin Problems

The biggest problems of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, less than two years into its second term, can be summarised in two words: corruption and inflation. How the government handles these two issues during 2011 will to a great extent determine its fate over the next three years. The incumbent regime is lucky that the political opposition on the Right and the Left are in disarray. This is why those in power can get away threatening to conduct a mid-term poll which nobody wants. But those in the Manmohan Singh government would be fooling no one but themselves if they believe they can continue to push their luck by dealing with the issues of corruption and inflation in a desultory manner as has been done so far.
