Arjun Singh and the Quota Conundrum

Well it seems that age got better of Arjun Singh and he has become insane (not that he had any sense anyway). Not that he wants to be another VP Singh but he must have been feeling sidelined on getting a trivial ministry and his falling support in the high command. On his last birth day Sonia Gandhi virtually advised him to leave politics and go hiding when she said that "X" years is too long a time in politics and people achieve whatever they want to do till then.
That probably rang alarms in Arjun's head. His feet in the coffin he just tried to become a cynosure by doing something which will irritate his party member and if he does not become famous he will at least become infamous. I doubt any one in the Congress would have liked this Quota juggernaut the way it has shaped. Students across the country are facing merciless policemen and their lathis. It seems that Mr Arjun Singh himself might not have thought that things will go such a long and disgusting way. He just wanted some quick publicity and a reckoning at the dead end of his career so that when he dies there is someone to remember him.
But now the coins have fallen on the wrong place. His head is on the burner and these protests have taken a Frankenstein form which will be very difficult to contain.
