Rahul said, "I know of the government argument on this subject and their position", but I am not concerned with that and confirmed this as his position."
This stated position by Rahul Gandhi raises serious questions within Congress and the ruling Government :
A) First does it shows Congress VP Rahul differs with the government, led by Manmohan Singh and guided and controlled by UPA President Sonia Gandhi ?
B) Second why a prospective candidate of prime minister's post for Congress does not have a say on the working and policies of this UPA government ?
C) Why a person so important like Rahul is not taken on board on such crucial issue for the incoming elections, that also few months before the assembly election ?
D) Is Congress a divided house, where nobody agrees on important matters ?
E) Is this the usual style of working within the UPA government, where any body or every body taking such a crucial decision of "cancelling a live order of Supreme Court", by issuing a ordinance , which is usually done only on some special circumstances or emergency ?
F) Is it a last moment change of mind, seeing the mood of the people and noting their anger on this subject,and an after thought by which intending to create some brownie rewarding points for Rahul, even by discarding the consent and acceptance of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh ?
G) Will the PM Manmohan Singh take the blame of VP Rahul seriously and resign on moral ground ?
H) How the PM will react to the comment : a) throw the ordinance into dustbin b) saying it is complete nonsense c) the arguments given by the government of political consideration, are called by Rahul as compromising, and he must offer immediate resignation, having lost the faith of Congress party vice president ?
I) Or ultimately will some escape route will be taken out to save Manmohan Singh,
J) and Rahul Gandhi will go on lecturing to the public with a demand to bring Congress in next election, but saying all without any accountability for the acts and functioning of the Government ?

K) Or will this ordinance create a Constitutional crisis of trust between the government and the party ?
