Enter the Jan Morcha

The setting up of the Jan Morcha had become necessary once it was realised by V P Singh and his friends that it was a prolonged political tussle which they would have to engage in. The notion that either the Congress(I) leadership will be quickly displaced or the party will simply disintegrate has turned out to be an excessively facile one. Equally facile has turned out to be the idea that a grand united front of all opposition parties under the leadership of V P Singh will emerge to confront the Congress(I).
