“Behold I send you as a sheep among the wolves” says the Bible. Is it a conundrum or a necessity for a man of this stature to follow the coalition dharma (i.e. compromise) or is he mimicking the party protocol.
Political parties have always tended to be bigger than individuals. An individual gets attracted to a particular party either due to its star functionaries or out of the party manifesto or because the party allows them the space to bring out the change that the individual thinks is a necessary part of the society.
But a party is a sum total of a lot of elements put together and coalition is all about strange bedfellows. Sometimes when everything seems to be going wrong you bet on the lesser evil.
Any political party is a family and head of the family has to see that it functions properly or it will end up as a dysfunctional one.
Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. They say corruption is the filth that grows on itself until it engulfs the whole space and those who are not a part of it get kicked out or voluntarily leave.
A shimmer of hope for the coming generation that all is not lost till yet
