All he was interested in was to get tickets for all eligible members of his family. Once that has been assured, he will sing a different tune that 'minorities' have got their due in Congress. And that he is an old soldier of 'secular' Congress and will accept what ever responsibility high command will give him to 'serve' people and 'fight communal forces'. Then he will either get parliamentary ticket or post of Governor as pat on back by Madam. Sad part of this sordid drama is that the poor minority community will be fooled by his drama and may be vote again for him/his family and then get nothing in return. Jaffer Sharieff was the key person in fanning passions and causing riot in Bangalore streets after Saddam's execution. Hope his own people see his game plan.
