Politics is an amusing game and a deceptive one too if the opponent catches you with your pants down. The Congress has always been the “favourite ship” competing against other “ships” in the race to get more passengers but then till recently the jolt it suffered due to a collision with an iceberg and a quick fix somehow prevented this ‘ship’ from sinking to the bottom of this vast political ocean.
The irony is all this while the party was screaming against the MDA after the exit of the 12 MLAs from its fold. Having seen that remaining in a minority position would be outgunned by the majority this very party has now “agreed” to advocate rather than oppose as a responsible opposition in the Assembly. Their methodology is simple. “If you can’t beat them then rather join them.”
