Hi Vikas,
Politics has become too complicated a game. Its changing far too faster than what even hard core politicians can think and understand. Strange permutations/ combinations take place and grab power. The very BJP which had been opposing Akali Dal and National Confrenece, shared power with them. Chautala Sahab also joined hands with BJP to share power. Let us forget about moral in politics as no party can claim to be having that virtue. Politics is becoming like mining or collecting water in desert where every drop matters. This is why smaller parties are having more premium and can bargain for ministerial bearths. Jats votes will always remain divided in Haryana, come what may. This leaves others to swing the fortune of politics. Its very unlikely that BJP will support Chautala unless there is strong wave in his favour. BJP will try its best to emerge as single party, though the chances of its gaining power are very small as far as I can see. peope like Mayawati hardly have any base in Haryana. Only party which cuts across all sections of Haryana at the moment or even in near future, is congress. Chautala Sahab has either very strong supporters or opponents. This is not so with congress. Unless Chautala Sahab comes with very innovative tricks, chances of his coming in power are very bleak in my view. Even cunning leaders like Advani, Vinay Katiyar are failing badly. Politics of winning elections by default is fading very fast lately. Winning elections and running government are becoming separate compartments in today's politics. Another new trend has emerged during last few years where Rajya Sabha seats are now almost on auction for the highest bidders. No wonder people like Vijay Mallya, Ambani etc are taking that path. Time is not too far when almost 70% Rajya Sabha seats will be via this root.
