The BJP must ask itself why its allies are distancing themselves from it, one by one. The TDP now considers it an electoral liability; Jayalalithaa prefers the inchoate Third Front; the INLD and AGP have opted out of the NDA; the Trinamool wavers, so does the Shiv Sena and JD(S). It must also wonder why it has been so diminished in the bastions of UP that it straddled so confidently so recently. It must ponder its own bizarre backtracking on policies it advocated vigorously when in power, be it SEZs or the nuclear deal. The BJP has problems, other than the RSS.
