The dream of being a prime minister has brought some of the big wigs
of Indian politics together (the Third Front). Everybody remembers how I K Gujral and Deve Gowda had their short but memorable stint at the helm and supposedly that's what is making everybody try their hands. But historically such third front alliances have not been
a success in Indian politics. Before the elections they might show extreme unity but once
the government is formed then there is a tussle at every step, be it the decision on
cabinet ministers or important policy decisions.
Specially in these testing times where on one hand we have disturbed neighbourhood and
on the other we have financial turmoil, I would have loved to see a government which could
be ready to take some decisions on its own rather than doing something which will
be in line with the pol manifesto of all the alliance parties. :-(
