  There is no surprise in this state. As invariably happenign in India alliances are not formed on any idealogical plank but in the sole motive of keeping the other party out of power.
This sort of negativism doesnt take India to anywhere, other than Grave.We have parties openely saying that they come together only to keep BJP out of power without any shame in telling so. They should be ashamed to say so as the state of politics has come to such a pass that other's fall is hailed ur victory and not ur own victory. Parties take pride in not they had won but that the other had lost. I only hope this too will pass
