Why H R Bharadwaj is angry

Senior Congress leader H R Bharadwaj recently blamed "sycophants" in the party for appointing him Kartanaka governor soon after the 2009 Lok Sabha elections. Earlier this year, he attacked party president Sonia Gandhi, alleging she "shared no responsibility" and was in the "grip of sycophants and corrupt people". Then, in July, he blasted the party, saying it was too weak to fight the Bharatiya Janata Party and claimed party vice-president Rahul Gandhi was out of touch with reality. Bharadwaj is not just angry with the Gandhi family - he appears generally upset with the party he represents. The former Union minister had last year disputed former Union finance minister P Chidambaram's contentions on the 2G issue and said if Chidambaram had attended to the treasury well as finance minister, the 2G scam could have been averted.
