These are all political game, which should be seen as a ploy to outsmart each other. Ever since Congress party kick started political campaign projecting Rahul Gandhi as the heir to the throne in the Chintan Shivir held in Rajasthan BJP has been waiting for the opportune moment to give a reply to the Congress projection of Rahul Gandhi as the prime ministerial candidate. BJP has revamped its decision making body, yet it is keeping in the dark, who will be its prime ministerial candidate. No war is won without a general. Soldiers fight albeit aimlessly and their vision is short. If BJP is really serious about ushering in the party to power it should come out clean on leadership issue. The person so chosen should be acceptable to all its allies in the NDA. But long before the real war has begun crack has appeared in the NDA with its ally JD (U) making its stand clear that it will not accept Narendra Modi as prime ministerial candidate of NDA. Congress party is also not poised to get absolute majority, it will need support from other parties. One thing is clear political parties having vote bank among the minority communities will not go for BJP led group. 30 percent of the population belong to minority community. They include Muslim, Christians, Dalits and others following different faiths. Left Front no matter whether it wins a few seats or not will remain contented keeping safe distance from BJP. Telegu Desam in Andhra Pradesh ate humble pie for supporting NDA Government in the past. It is now struggling for survival. Similarly Samajwadi Party, BSP will not fall on NDA line. These political parties understand BJP is more dangerous than Congress (I). The possibility of third front coming out at such critical juncture of political parties looking for base is remote. The fight will be between Congress led group and BJP led group. In the run up to the Lok Sabha elections slated for early part of 2014, voters have started weighing the bad side and better side of all the political parties. Political parties too are in search of issues on which they can bank. Congress party in the meanwhile is thinking of going to the people by framing policies and programmes for the common masses. RTI, MGNREGA were popular policies of the Congress led Government. Food Security Bill will add a feather on the cap of the UPA II Government. Even the diehard opposition parties will not oppose this bill. Having observed the development that has taken place in the past few months one can make a logical conclusion the fight for ouster of the ruling party at the centre will be very tough. Samajwadi Party and AIADMK know that very well. Therefore the two parties despite winning elections in massive scale in the respective assembly elections do not demand conduct of early elections. The outcome of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections will be revealed by the assembly elections being held in Karnataka and other states in South.
