A.K. Verma in the Indian Express:

The formation of a Fourth Front by the constituents of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) — RJD of Lalu Prasad Yadav, Lok Janashakti Party of Ram Vilas Paswan, and SP of Mulayam Singh Yadav — has been interpreted by many as a possible schism within UPA ranks. This has made electoral contestation tri-polar in Bihar and quadrangular in UP. Many think that the decision of the Congress to put up candidates in all the constituencies in UP and Bihar would harm the interests of both Congress and these allies, and help the BSP- BJP in UP and BJP-JD (U) in Bihar.

On a deeper analysis, however, the pointers lead us to a diametrically opposite picture. The entire Fourth Front appears to be a shrewd and subtle UPA game plan designed to increase the seats of UPA constituents in Bihar and UP.

Sonia the Ultimate Chanakya? Pawar quitting Congress and setting up NCP, hobnobbing with Sena, BJD was a "shrewd and subtle UPA game plan" designed by the ultimate Chanakya of politics Smt. Sonia Gandhi. She carefully analyzed the split polity and realized that retaining Maharashtra and talking with ideologically opposite poles requires an equally shrewd operator outside the Congress fold and so she instructed Sharad Pawar to quit the party and set up NCP. Poor Pawar being a Sonia loyalist had to agree to the "shrewd and subtle gameplan". Srinivas Lucknow, iNDIA PERMALINK \| LIKE (0) \| DISLIKE (0) \| REPORT ABUSE
