Blasts and terrorist activities have nothing to with the person who holds the portfolio of Home Ministry, opined a few political analysts of Bangalore on Thursday. Interacting with Bangalore Wishesh, senior analysts said that UPA’s exercise of changing the Home Minister did not derive any positive result. During the 33 month tenure of  P. Chidambaram as Home Minister as many as seven blasts rocked the country and the change of Home Minister did not stop the blasts. As the Finance Minister Chidambaram might have shown his ability, but as the Home Minister he could not deliver the goods, they commented.

Discussing on the subject they said that, of the seven blasts records during the 33 month tenure of Chidambaram, six went clueless and no arrests were made. After the Mumbai blasts of November 2008, the then Home Minister Shivaraj Patil was replaced by Chidambaram. Terrorist activities at Bangalore, Varanasi, Pune, Delhi and Mumbai are said to have prompted the Centre to reshuffle the Union Cabinet and this replacement took place, they said.

In this connection the analysts quoted the assurance of Chidambaram to counter the terrorism and ironically only one person was arrested in one of the seven blasts, that is of Germany Bakery exposition in Pune on September 7, 2010 which claimed 17 lives.The twin blasts at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore and explosion at Sheetala Ghat in Varanasi, explosion at the Gate No 7 of the Delhi High Court, bomb exploded at Mehrauli on March 29, 2010, blast near the Jama Masjid on September 9, 2010 are worrying the public and they are under the grip of fear that anything may happen in any place, the analysts said. They expressed their displeasure on the inaction of the police, who failed in nabbing the culprits of the July 13, 2011, serial blasts in Mumbai.
