Politics is a funny game. This same Mayawati begged to the Congress to allow her to join UPA in the last General Elections and now she is threating withdrawl. The need of the hour is to have a prepoll alliance of two opposing groups which is attested by the CEC. This group cannot constitutionally break the alliance in 5 years, as it has in fact accepted the other parties views and opinions and thus formed the alliance. This makeup of political structure should be similar at State level too. This is the only way to curb they power crazy politicians to make or break political alliances at will and thus disrupt assemblies and cost the tax payer a fortune in organising another election.
