Abrading coalition

Congress like a curates egg,has always been good in parts. The BJP has not laid one for years now. Thus to the degree the  Congress  has any which way remained  predictable,the BJP to a similar extent is not. The medley of regional outfits have been bringing into the electoral kitty near similar numbers each time ,though with differing individual contributions. Here again their efficacy when  working  in combination as a ' Front ' ,has  been lack lusture. The only addition to the electoral brew this time is the fledgling AAP with no antecedents to go by. But fervour more than content makes AAP a catalyst that while remaining unaffected itself, is capable of inducing hitherto unknown side reactions in electoral chemistry.NOTA is no solace for a nation that has not seen any party rising above the rut or break newer grounds. What AAP might do is to scale down the seats of an upbeat BJP and to an extent help boost  the sagging fortunes of the Congress.With no change in other ingredients ,2014 would , in all probability, end up  in  BJP and Congress exchanging personal tallies . We stand to get  anotherAvatar of coalition politics wherein ,accountability at the Centre would  get dispersed and diluted even as  regional satraps leverage their electoral count to squeeze out undue allocations for sustaining  their captive vote banks. We might well land up with a PM looking  authoritative, but if past experience is any guide,even the best material is blunted soon enough ,in an abrading coalition.
