yes, sri kanth ji. i would do the same thing. bjp needs to quit being always the nice guy. bjp seems principled - or, put differently, is the least opportunistic among the lot - and it needs to show firmness so that it gets taken seriously in future only because coalitions will be with us for a long while. next time bjp must insist on going first with regional parties all of whom, including shivsena have proved to be shaky.
