For my part, I think PM has acted wisely and finally learnt the ropes of electoral politics. 1. No party is ready to face the elections. - Ideal time to harass the Communists and the BJP. 2. BJP is facing disconnect bet its GUJARAT and national units. If at all Congress has to negotiate with somebody as a viable opposition, it ought to be MODI. All the others who are pragmatic are mere onlookers now. And none of them spoke vehemently opposing this deal. He can safely ignore the bunch led by Advani. See Sushma Swaraj ranting abt headless chickens-such an obvious bait and she rising to that so radily. PM has announced indirectly that he is ready for political leadership. For a man of such sensitivity it should have been galling to state that the opposition was making havans for his death and asking for public sympathy. But he went and did it. Atlast the bureucrat has learned to not only stoop to win but also to fight to the finish.
