Summary
The rendered pages are from the April 6, 1968 issue of MARCH OF THE NATION, printed in Bombay. Page 11 reports speeches by S. K. Patil criticizing what he presents as Congress mismanagement of industry, business, exports, controls, and public administration. Patil argues that economic recovery requires a change of direction, condemns excessive controls, and warns against treating emergency powers as a normal method of government.
Page 12 covers M. R. Masani’s resignation from the Swatantra Party’s national executive and other party leaders’ resignations. The article presents Masani’s decision as an effort to uphold political probity and the principle that a politician’s word should be as good as his bond. It attributes the dispute to broken assurances and electoral arrangements in Gujarat, while also describing the episode as evidence of wider deterioration in political life.
