Badal is a seasoned and astute leader. However, he also has exhibited various misjudgement, including the famous on about burning the Constitution of India. Jaitley also is a suspect when it comes to national and constitutional needs. So much so, after his post-Godhra clean chit to the state govt, ABV dispensed with him in Law ministry.
Such partisan people may help win elections but they do not get 10 out 10 for serving Constitutional and long term national needs.
