The failure analysis of the last elections shows that NDA lost power due to the collapseof TD in AP. Hence AP is crucial for INC to retain and a lot of effort is underway to ensure that.
It is another matter that TD thinks it lost power due to its 'alliance' with BJP and has now drifted to its commie friends. Right now TD is in doldrums but made some showing in the ZP elecions in Telengana. If it can hurt INC chances in Telengana and reduce the Lok Sabha seats even in alliance with the commies the NDA/BJP return is possible.

Regarding Jaswant Singh's book please read it before talking about moles and gophers. Better read Talbott's book too at same time. This mole business is being raised by INC which is strong in national Insecurity with a spate of spy scandals and is trying to say NDA is also afflicted by not taking action against a mole in a former INC administration! What they are saying is the INC is not guilty as it was not aware of the mole business in 1995 where as the NDA is for it knew about the mole as per JS book. It begs the question that by the time NDA was in power the mole might have fled. The question is about US access to Indian decision making process and not some fixing the leak.
