While the elections in Gujarat hardly in 48 hours to go, the Wal-Mart issue that rocks the parliament turns embarrassing for the Congress party. Even though, it tries to lighten the issue by telling the opposition parties that it as a very normal practice followed by business houses all over the world, the pressure from the opposition parties demanding for an parliamentary committee inquiry into the issue has forced UPA to make an announcement in their favor. The UPA government has announced that it is going to constitute a one man committee headed by a retired judge to investigate the issue and agrees that it also feel very bad about lobbying in the country.

However, the actual intention behind its decision might be Gujarat elections. Hardly 48 hours to go for the assembly elections in Gujarat, UPA don’t want its rivals to encash this issue to influence the voters to vote against Congress party in the state. UPA even tried its hands by announcing increase of 9 subsidized cylinders from present 6, for which Election Commission immediately objects. Despite Congress party’s efforts to win the hearts of the Gujarati voters with its schemes Modi looks more confident of winning these elections. He was seen picking every issue of the Congress party that gives advantage in the elections, come it may be a cash- transfer scheme or a Wal-Mart issue. However, the desperate Congress party is trying all its practiced tricks to record a victory in Gujarat, which appears very blink.
