End of cloak and dagger politics ?

The Congress was on the back foot with a limping economy and the long shadows cast by UPA-II .The concluded polls  reflect this and in two cornered contests , the sole  beneficiary was the BJP  But the  AAP,exposed the standing of BJP in the three cornered Delhi polls, despite Modi.,   by matching the  saffron seats This must be ominous for  Congress and the BJP as both now seem to be vulnerable against an organised third  major contender in the Lok Sabha polls of 2014.. This could be provided by an AAP or a like avatar  and  better still, by a re invented '" Third Front ",that has pre-poll arrangements and not the opportunistic post-poll number game  .There is a clear opportunity for regional entities to  also become a mature and sagacious electoral group.Otherwise erelong they too stand to suffer the ignominy of being humbled by modern day nascent parties that are able to capture the imagination of the younger electorate  growing by the day.Perhaps we are seeing the end of old day cloak and dagger politics with its quid-pro-quo dispensation.
