The author has just outpoured his wishful thinking, more than the realities in the ground. Fissures between BJP, VHP and RSS are not anything new... and nothing to worry about in a democratic set-up. If at all such out-pourings are a worry, it is bigger for UPA than NDA! Just look at Bihar - Laloo on one side, Paswan on other and Congress on the third corner - all of them in UPA!!!
And the author quotes the 'smooth' transition in CPI-M. In my opinion, HK Surjeet should have retired 15 years back!! He held on to the post, literally till his last step before relinquishing it, by pulling a puppet out of his pocket - Mr. Karat! I wonder if 100 people will recognise Prakash Karat, if he appears in public anywhere outside West Bengal or Kerala!
Rediff should exercise some judgement in allowing such "columns" which read like party brochures, to be published!!
