While BJP has been busily wooing and courting Jayalalitha for a long time, she seems to have been shunning Advani and his BJP.
She is perhaps reckoning that having communists as partners instead of BJP would bring her more votes and even get the Congress on her side so she could do the same trick that Karunanidhi did last time viz. shut the opponent out of the parliament.
This way she can also get all that karunanidhi got in this parliament i.e. maximum number of ministerial berths and also the veto power. In the the minority parliament she may even have a shot at becoming the PM! All these options could be lost if she aligns with the BJP, I suppose.
Sensing this the BJP is wooing Tamil actor Rajnikant the recluctant Hamlet!
In Andhra suddenly the political field is crowded with parties with mass following and the BJP is unfortunately not one of them. Promising Telengana in 90 days is not going to benefit the BJP.
So, once again the BJP has to be content with MPs coming from Karnataka only from the south.
In the Eastern States that include Orissa and in the Western State of Maharashtra and in Panjab and Haryana and Bihar the BJP has to share seats with the allies and with the Congress. If the BJP gets just over a quater of seats from these contentious states I won't be surprised.
Hmm..Advani may not be even as lucky as Vajpayee!
