India's rapidly changing political dynamics is thrilling for every political pundit. In 2015 everyone seemed to think that Nitish Kumar, Mamta Baneerjee and Arvind Kejriwal will together form a third front and eliminate the Indian national congress out of the Indian political scene altogether. However, the leader in corruption and crony capitalism, Indian national congress it seems is bound to stay here.
As of now, I think the credit for the revival of corrupt Indian national congress goes to Amrinder Singh and Abhishek Manu Singhvi. Yes the chief minister of Punjab and a lawyer that can save congress from any constitutional crises bound because of its laziness.
Had it not been these two key political figures, i think Indian polity would have been completely different. As soon as the Punjab elections were declared, Arvind Kejriwal was finished from Indian polity. He neither have the rapidly growing political base, nor the money to expand his political outfit.
Through some sources i heard that , BJP wanted to finish Arvind Kejriwal in Punjab and hence didn't put a major fight, and the vote bank of BJP and SAD couldn't collide and it wasn't a triangular fight after that. However, BJP hoped that finishing Arvind kejriwal in Punjab would stop him from going to Gujarat. As it happened, Kejriwal haven't spoken a word since then.
It was a tactical advantage for BJP as it thought they would finish Kejriwal and would rule India without hurdles, around same time Rahul Gandhi took pace. He went to Gujarat deceiving public through his soft Hindutva footsteps.
He gained a successive momentum and the BJP that was hoping for 150+ in the Gujarat assembly was reduced to 94 and congress gained to 74. It was seen as a boost to Rahul Gandhi's leadership who was always considered a political novice till now.
After Gujarat elections, Rahul Gandhi went to Karnataka, it seemed that the game was over for congress but suddenly BJP that was maintaining leads throughout the results was reduced to 104 and Congress and JDS formed a government through political and legal maneuvering of Abhishek Manu singhvi.
As of now it seems that all the struggling to survive, regional political parties are uniting together so as to defeat BJP in 2019 Lok Sabha elections. It also seems that congress is gaining momentum in Indian political circles and shedding a image of lazy, clumsy and slow.
To stop the rising congress, it seems that Bhartiya Janta Party should waive off some regional parties from political suppression. They should leave them to have fun and unite themselves with BJP against the congress. Strong political ties have to be made at this point, otherwise with concord and corroboration of the politically weak parties congress can form government even with 180MPs if BJP fall even 10 short of 272.
It is definitely the time to divide and rule through the opposition parties, as to much fear of BJP among them would be counterproductive. However the political game keeps changing, every month and that the great beauty of indian democracy, viewers like me keeps fingers crossed and cant even guess the turns and twists of next month.
Lastly, thanks, i have been getting tremendous response from the readers of this blog and i will post few articles on international relations after my exams this month.
