Tale of two cats

.More than the Congress or the BJP ,it was AAP that was stunned at its 28 seat windfall.It set the stage for the inexplicable events that followed.Given the arithmetic of the assembly,no government could have lasted long. Congress extended the support to a minority government with no more reason than to spite the BJP..Instead of trying to form a government the BJP was too clever by half to abdicate ,hoping to expose Kejriwal's percieved weakness to govern. Given its tenuous electoral position and the suzerainty of the Centre over its legislative and police powers, governance could never have  never in the mind of a handicapped AAP. From day one,it had set its eyes to exit the stage as a martyr  using the Janlokpal as its famous last words. Like an Indian cinema ,fillers and drama were used in abundance to prolong audience interest.It quit when Box office collections were good.  AAP turned out to be strategically the cleverest of the three,like the monkey helping divide the cake for the two warring cats. Hope the tale is not replicated at the national elections.
