T-Ball is in Cong. BJP courts

Now, the bifurcation issue has been shifted from state to New Delhi. Though the state players are also participating in this game, now the main players are Congress and BJP only. Both of they have to make their moves very cautiously as their every move is going to win or lose a seat back in the state. As of now, Congress is firmly reiterating its commitment for Telangana state creation. But, it is aware that unless its rival BJP supports the bill, it can’t bailout the bill in the Parliament. So, it will try to highlight this point, not for getting its support, but to corner BJP in this bifurcation game. If it could spread this message to people of Telangana, then BJP has to support the bill, otherwise it has to pay dearly for it. If, BJP supports the bill, Congress can claim entire credit to self for granting Telangana state and ask the people return the favors in form of votes to it. So, it is win and win situation strategy adopted by Congress party.

BJP also very well knew that even if it supports the bill it can’t gain any political mileage instead it will be strengthening the hands of Congress party in Telangana. So, it has to find an excuse to decline its support to the bill. It can ask for excuse by proposing certain amendments to the bill that are not acceptable to Congress party. So, it can throw the ball into Congress court and escape unhurt in this issue. If, BJP refuse to support the bill with any reason, Congress can find an excuse for not granting Telangana and still can ask the people for votes blaming BJP as sinner. So, it is much more a ball game for Congress and BJP than a sensitive issue that is related to crores of people.
