Biharis win - at last - Think twice before opting Coalition!!
Politics - my next love and I've been following Laloo since 1990-91. Here's my views on the Bihar Election Results.
The Biharis won at last - they somehow have managed to co-ordinate among themselves to hand out the worst possible deal to 'Laloo'. In fact, Laloo also played into their hands by not being generous to the Congress before the election. The only block that can't loose anything from here is the NDA.
Paswan - if he opts for the President's rule - he can't go and beg for votes to the Biharis at least for the next 10 years (He'll be projected as an irresponsible leader). If he supports NDA, then the irony that "he can't breath without Power" (remember - since 1996 - he has somehow managed to be part of every one of the Union Ministry and managed to move out when he doesn't get the deal he wants) will let his image slide. If Sonia manages to keep Paswan 'biting the best bone possible' (Railway or Telecom Ministry in exchange for his support to Laloo), he'll be projected as a selfish dog who can do anything for biting the bone he likes.
Congress has done itself into a huge hole by joining hands with Paswan. An irresponsible act considering that it is heading the Union Government. They also have to keep watching - b'cos Laloo has been betrayed by them and he'll wait for the best chance to have a biteat them. He's a Joker - better watchout for him.
Laloo - at last people have managed to vote him out (or not? - We've to wait). People will pray that he doesn't start taking revenge on them.
NDA can better sit back and enjoy the show - b'cos participating in the race now will do them no good.
Bihari's might have won - at the expense of India - remember - Laloo has enough arithmetic to make Congress surrender in UP to Mulayam and in Tamil Nadu to Kalaignar to make sure that the show at the Center keeps running in case Laloo backtracks in his unconditional support to the Union Government. Sonia has lost the only consistent supporter of hers since 1998 - Will she be able to make amends?
Not Paswan - Sonia has to play the Kingmaker's role in Bihar - that'll help her to do some damage control for Congress....She has done it before. It has always been more of internal troubleshooting (within the Congress).
Biharis won - at last. But, people - it is time to opt for a stable Government - We've seen enough of coalition....
Think of it!!!!
