SHIFTING BLAME ONTO PAST LEADERS IN POOR TASTE

Both Congress and BJP have found an ingenuous way ( albeit in bad taste) to get around issues which were proving to be an albatross around their neck. Whereas the Congress has shifted the blame for inaction in the Babri Masjid demolition upon Narasimha Rao (Digvijay Singh admitted that it was a mistake) BJP tried to pass on the buck for the Kandahar highjack and release of terrorists fiasco onto Atal Bihari. Logically, they are correct - for, Narasimha Rao and Atal were the respective PM's during these cases but what is in poor taste is that all these years both the parties attempted to skirt these - only now when Narasimha Rao is no more and Atal Bihari has reti red from politics that these parties have tried to use them as scapegoats. Goes on to show that there is little to choose between the two major parties not merely in all major policies but also in approach to uncomfortable questions.
