Polit-eeeeks!

What will a cross between a bhelpuri and ice-cream taste like?

How will the friendship between Mogambo and Gabbar Singh be like?

What will a duet between Himesh and a crow sound like?

Weird combinations, aren’t they?But haven’t we seen weirder combinations in the petty party politics of our country?

Coalition governments in India, off late, have been like compromising combo packs. Once the pack is opened, the surprise is a shock for the customer.

When parties with strikingly clashing ideologies come together to form alliances, the voter feels cheated and disillusioned. Governance becomes secondary. To maintain the magic number becomes the priority of the government. Decision-making becomes difficult. Thanks to the internal bickering of the varying party policies.

In this political khichdi, the one who loses is the common man.
