The suggestion sounds wonderful on paper - Two principal parties in the country joining hands in the interest of the country! But, impossible. Congress lately has made "communalism" (read Anti-BJP) the primary election issue (as well as it's survival strategy) and has joined hands with any party that could be labelled "secular". It would be political suicide for them to take BJP's help even if it were to offer it and alienate the "secular" parties. Anyway, with the two of them being the principal parties vying for the centre, it is pretty much impossible for them to join together. Also, it is too much to expect the current crop of politicians to put national interest ahead of their party's interest.

True. Cong-BJP arrangement is the need of the hour. But let the Congress who have given so much of boost to the communists take the initiative in approaching the BJP with some workable formula. Or let them continue with the people who in their own opinion are working against the interest of our country. Let us face the reality of China-Pak-Iran-Bangla axis with some bold initiatives.

Your conclusions are straightforward based on what we know of our politicians. But we are in a deep deep hole and are praying for someone to save us. Will the BJP/RSS bail us out or again cry out SONIA MAINO. My intuition tells me that you will be proven right but let me live in fools paradise for a few days and hope for the idiots on both sides to come together.
