The otherwise apolitical prime minister put the two - BJP & REDs - in peculiar situations. BJP the official party in opposition, whould have loved this PM to be ousted on any other issue except this N Deal. But for the N Deal, REDs on the other hand wanted this govt to survive despite its all round failure on rising prices and growing (in)security problems. Anyway, Karat started a game, without knowing how to finish it with desired outcome. His comrades are openly saying that they will support the cong during and after the forthcoming election. Even his most visible face in new DElhi openly questioned his wisdom, raely heard in REDs' fiefdom. Let us watch this 24x7 drama for a while.
