And so the democracy wept...

1. Mining lobby makes it possible for BJP to win in Karnataka. The so called first win for BJP in a southern state. Rumors say that the Congress CM of a neighboring state supported BJP in Karnataka due to his interests in the Iron Ore mines.

2. So called communist parties are afraid. After giving up their last remaining communist ideology of socialism, they lost the support of the poor and mainly intelectuals.

3. Nuclear deal. When you cannot reveal the treaty details on issues of highest priority to leaders of parties constituting a majority, you have no right to sign such a deal with another shady government with an "immaculate" history of supporting democracy outside its own teritory.

4. Day One: Left withdraws support to government. Congress is in Minority. Day two: SP supports congress. It is still in minority but only a bit nearer half way mark. Noose tightens around the biggest adversary of SP. Coincidence?

5. Surprise Surprise. Left (Communist), BSP (Dalit) and BJP (Hindutvavadi) have common opinion on an issue atlast. Who said miracles dont happen now a days.

6. Congress in negotiation with convicted MPs for support. Now the murderers will decide the fate of our Motherland. Wads of cash start making rounds, buying votes on either side.

7. And the PM Of the nation, the most revered and would-have-been-most-honest doctorate holder asks for proof of "horse-trading".

And hence the helpless democracy wept.
