Commonwealth Games, IPL, 2G spectrum allocation. In 2010, the UPA-II managed to turn everything it touched into a multi-crore scam. Embarrassing tales of corruption and favouritism have not stopped tumbling out of Delhi's power corridors.

The UPA-II coalition seems to be unravelling at the seams, thanks to the politics pursued by the various allies. Some of the regional leaders in the ruling coalition are busy using their ministerial powers to further their own agendas, governance be damned.

The economic disparity between the haves and have-nots is widening at an alarming rate. On one hand, millions of Indians continue to live in debilitating poverty, and on the other, the new Indian dream is producing millionaires by the minute.

The government has failed to silence the rumblings of discontent across India. The UPA-II has much fire-fighting on the cards as Andhra Pradesh erupts over Telangana, the demand for Gorkhaland gets stronger and the Gujjar agitation resurfaces in Rajasthan.

The Centre has faced strong opposition from its own allies while trying to curb Left-wing extremism. The high-handedness of its security forces in Naxal-infested areas and extra-judicial killings of Maoist leaders have exacerbated the menace.
