That's the mode Congress seems to be in. After winning 206 seats in the Parliament elections and notching up their best performance in abut 25 years, the party is enjoying the spoils, the riches and everything that comes with the victory.
The not-so-long-ago-foe BSP goes ahead and declares unconditional 'outside' support to the UPA coalition and the good weather friends Amar Singh couldn't be left behind. All through this, another 'long time' ally and now 'hurt' ex Railway minister Laloo Yadav secretly wonders what to do with his 4 MPs!!! By the end of the day, he too goes ahead and announces support for the victor :)
Such is the landscape of Indian politics. What a difference 20 odd seats can make!!
But the one good thing that came of these elections is that the 'Dalit and the Maratha Express' have been halted in their tracks and prevented from reaching Delhi atleast for the next 5 years. (relieved sigh)...So while Mr Singh enjoys the chaos and Rahul Gandhi leaves the country guessing about his next move, the others (read BJP, Left) can cool their heels in the opposition tables of the Parliament Central Hall. After all 5 years is not that long a wait :)

At right time the congress party got 206 seats which is good for the country and also for the party. Hope the government will make right decisions and implements at a time when the country is facing seroius problems of terrorism, recession, poverty etc.
The results are also a lesson to other parties specially the BJP. Now it is time for BJP to start thinking about development and inclusive growth rather than religion, personal attacks and gimmicks.
