Political infidelity has reached a new high in Indian politics with the sole object of grabbing power through any means. With the prospects of the much publicised Third Front receding due to conflict of interests for the elusive top job, attempts are now afoot for a fourth front. The fore runner for this ill-conceived endeavour is the mercurial RJD supremo Lalu Yadav. He is now toying the idea of working with Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam party, which is a new outfit with no influence at all outside Andhra Pradesh (‘Chiru eyeing fourth format’, April 8). In the process Laalu has all but severed association with the Congress-led UPA alliance. Betrayal and opportunism are games played in Indian politics, and it would be no surprise if Lalu backtracks and aligns with UPA, post election. Lalu had proved to be quite successful as the Minister of Railways and should he be in contention for ministership in any formation, it should be ensured to keep him out of transport ministry. This is to prevent access to road rollers which he fancies to misuse to crush his political adversaries.
