UPA-2 seems to have completely lost direction in almost every single way be it in governance, national security, internal security, development initiatives, poverty alleviation and corruption eradication, says Pramod Kumar Buravalli.

The United Progressive Alliance [ Images ] came back to power almost a year and half ago with surprisingly strong numbers in the Lok Sabha. It rode on a wave of strong economic growth, due to populist policies such as loan waivers, rural employment scheme, the right to information and due to the simplistic nature of Manmohan Singh [ Images ]. It seemed that the people of India [ Images ] wanted to give a clear mandate to one of the two national parties instead of fractured verdicts but things have begun to unravel dramatically ever since the re-election.

The government of India led by UPA-2 seems to have completely lost direction in almost every single way be it in governance, national security, internal security, development initiatives, poverty alleviation and corruption eradication.
