Now the Congress has started playing its usual game of If NOT me no one else should. The Congress now says that this BJP-JD(S) formation is illegal and the Governor should not allow such formation. The Governor is an appointee of the Congress government at the centre and the President also belongs to the Congress party. We cannot expect them to act against the wishes of the high command. Now what is going to happen no one can surmise. Had the JD(S) kept its commitment and handed over power to the BJP on October 3, it would have saved at least its image. The Congress taking advantage of the situation, started playing monkey-sharing bread between two cats with the hope that it can devour the whole bread. Apprehending the ingenious game indulged in by the Congress, the JD(S) made an about turn to support the BJP. There are no real heroes in this episode but the one who has come out looking most silly, if not shame-faced and downright deceitful, is Gowda.
