In business, it all ends in consolidation. Companies get larger and keep swallowing smaller companies.
In Indian politics, it’s all about fragmentation and disintegration.
After 1980, the Janata Party disintegrated…
After 1991, the Janata Dal fragmented into the RJD, SP, JD(S), JD(U), BJD etc.
The UP vote bank share has got divided between the Congress, BJP, BSP and SP.
The Maharashtra vote bank share has got divided between the Congress, NCP, BJP, Shiv Sena and MNS.
The latest to join the fray is the Andhra Pradesh vote bank…
…now Jagan will start collecting votes along with the Congress, TDP, Chiranjeevi along with the Telagana factor…
The Congress has split on many occasions, but luckily the splitting pieces mostly melted into the background.
As far as the BJP is concerned, while the party is intact, it is the leadership which seems to be disintegrating…
