The Making of Leadership

The Making of Leadership Romesh Thapar NOTHING is more infuriating than the political prattle around the theme, "But, then, what is the alternative?" A democratic party or combination of parties could throw up a leadership far more relevant than what we have at present. When R K Hegde says that not since the days of Tughlak have we been so casually served, he is not far wrong. Yet, surprisingly, he fails to note that the recent Janata Party confabulations in the capital, of which he was part, assist the prattle about the lack of alternatives.
