BJP and the Congress - sibling rivalry at the ball-game

More than ten years ago, a marked unease about the direction in which the BJP was heading goaded me to pose a question to a former BJP General Secretary then living in Chennai. I don’t remember my question but his answer has remained in my mind. "They (the Congress) will win some elections, we will win some; they will form the government in Delhi and then we will form the government. Aisa chalta rahega."

There is a growing feeling among a small section of political commentators and the politically well-informed that there is a sinister silence in certain quarters of the media and the Indian intelligentsia about the core details of the Mumbai terror attack even as the government undertakes a major cover-up operation and goes through the motions of conducting a hard-nosed investigation into the terror plot.
