Regonalism is the cotribution of both the Congress and BJ Party. That has emboldened the syncophants to go for smaller regional parties,whenever it suited them to come to a position when despite being the 02 truly national parties of India,they have no option but to woo the 'local' parties for the formation of the govt. History has proved again and again that India has been overrun by foreign invasions owing to the bickerings of the then 'rajas' amongst them for their own interests. With the bickering of so many for the post of the PM one doesn't know whether there would be more 'countries' born as was Pakisthan - East and West! Arunachal, Kasmir ,maybe many more areas will come under 'dispute' making India or shall we say Bharat for a change,weaker still! We cannot giveup our 'bickerings,anyway.
