There was never any "Mahagathbandhan". There was, of course, a mirage, luring some. 《《Be that as it may, a 'Mahagathbandhan' against the NDA, all across India, is just a mirage. It's not only just not possible, because of divergent compulsions and calculations of the players involved, it's not even desirable either, as an electoral alliance is just not the arithmetic sum total of the votes to be individually polled by the constituents. In case of a compatible alliance 1+1 will be 2.5, if not 3; and in the other case, it'd be <2, maybe by a large margin. Hence, the best case scenario for a nationwide anti-BJP electoral front for the next Lok Sabha poll appears to be a collage of state-specific alliances with the Congress occupying the pole position "nationally", if at all, while it may or just may not even figure in a specific state. All the players involved should rather work towards that instead of chasing a mirage and, then, miserably failing. 1977 cannot be *verbatim* replicated in 2019.》 That's what I had observed on the last October 5th. It's, however, only a repetition of what I'm saying for quite a while.》 That's what I wrote on March 8th last, declining to endorse an appeal for "Mahagathbandhan". The "best case scenario" has, of course, not materialised. Nor the worst case one. And, there is an old adage, it takes two hands to clap. And, here, too many hands were involved.
