Virtuous allies.

A while ago (on the issue of portfolio distribution) :

Mamta Bannerjee : Even if they don’t give us anything we don’t mind that. There was no talk of bargaining. We will work together in a nice way. This is only one word I can tell you.

A while later :

Mamta Bannerjee : Will join cabinet only if I get Railways.

Now before you jump to the conclusion that Mamta Bannerjee is a hypocrite, I have nothing to add. Kindly jump.

Meanwhile, at the same place :

DMK demands 7 cabinet berths; meeting with Pranab inconclusive.

In spite of the DMK not getting its demands, I really hope for his health that M. Karunanidhi does not go on another “indefinite hunger strike onto death” between his two meals.

I do feel sad for the NDA though. With allies like these, their importance as an opposition diminishes.

  1. :D Good one !!

    Btw…just wondering if u ever get time for your masters in Comp Sc?! Y din u pursue Pol Sc. instead?

  2. @alltalkandnoaction : What did I write in the post that makes people think along such lines ?

    To answer your question, I do get time for my studies. I did not know something called political science existed until recently. Either way, it is not that I am not interested in computer science. It is just that I am interested in politics too. Apart from many other things.
