Modi himself has ridiculed those who credited the victory to him minus the party. But, on the Congress side, no one would own the defeat, proving the other rule that failure is an orphan. And some of them would not even see it as a defeat at all, for like M Karunanidhi they say, the Congress got more seats this time, the BJP less! With clues already given by the media, they began saying that it was Modi%u2019s victory, not the BJP%u2019s; in fact, the BJP was the loser!
They were thus searching for the loser from among the victors!
Yet, in a party which has not lost, other than Kapil Sibal and Abhishek Singhvi, no one was available to the media. The Ashoka Road headquarters of the Congress was deserted on December 23, with most rooms locked.
Sonia Gandhi %u2013 who, along with thousands of persons invaded the very office some 10 years ago, had the sitting president of the party Sitaram Kesari locked in the toilet, took his chair and became the president %u2013 did not go to the party office at all on that day. Nor did the heir apparent to the throne, Rahul Gandhi, was seen anywhere around. Well, this is post-election. See the pre-poll picture. Sonia was the Maharathi of the Congress and, Modi, of BJP.
