Mr. Pai, You are correct that these small, self-centred parties should not be given any scope to play like this. At the same time, it is BJP's mistake. In an attempt to cling-on, it has desperately sacrifised all it's morality. first Mayawati, then Jayalilitha & now Gowda. Is it not irony that this are the same BJP/it's supporters who are crying now, are the ones who celeberated when gowda ditched congress under conditions which were more blatent than this?
