This is a good game by congress and left. A master stroke!! Congress is excellent at politics and BJP should learn from them.
Congress and Left were waiting for a year to seek someone else for support. Finally when SP agreed, left withdrew support. But to the dumb media it was declared the other way round, that left is withdrawing support and hence SP is supporting.
So now Congress is free to say we risked power for national benefit, Left can say we stuck to our stand. And in the mean time SP can enjoy some ministerial berths at the centre.
As for "aam aadmi" and BJP, they are left where they are.... fighting inflation and opposition respectively.
