Sour Grapes!

This is Praful at his illogical best!

Look at the "data"- since when are India's elections decided by % voteshare? It always has been a numbers game. What does Praful do when the numbers go against his logic? Simple - they get other numbers to justify their argument!

For once, he's right when he says that UPA threw it all away. But the opportunity for alliances was BEFORE the election, and the election was lost fair & square.

He suggests that had NDA been invited to form the government, they would have fallen short of majority. Everybody knows that the independents were up for grabs, and anybody with a base of 36 was better off than those with a base of 33. This is kindergarten maths, but Praful the educated writer doesnt think so!

Rizvi, Soren & Co. literally hijacked the Constitution of India, and that was just a "blunder". But if Munda & Co bundled up MLAs to parade before the President, that was "kidnapping", a heinous crime! Talk of double standards!!

Praful's paradigm is this: When pinkos win, democracy wins. And when they lose, even when they lose in an absolutely ungracefully, there are "no real heroes".
