Definitely congress would not go hand in hand with the Back-Stabbers. There are nothing to gain for congress even if the Chief Minister's post is offered to them.
It would be very much helpful if the Congress chose to remain silent for a while and watch as to how the game is unfolding, to their benefit. Certainly, it has been the Congress, who have gained in all these times, not withstanding the Urban Local Elections. In each of the villages and towns, the political upheaval is being discussed. And there has been no denying of the fact that there has been some gain for the Congress in popularity.
But as to how much increase in Seats in the Assembly the popularity gain is storing for them, is to be seen. As it is, it is for sure that they can easily manage to get the State Election towards the end of the 6 months period after the imminent collapse of the Government.
