Bickerings don’t allow NDA to take advantage of UPA’s problems

With the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) on the mat because of its ally – Left parties’ – objections to Indo-US Nuclear Deal, National Democratic Alliance (NDA) should have been dreaming of power. Instead, it has been left grappling with its own problems. The NDA is struggling with a quiet rebellion unleashed by its own members, most prominent of them being the mercurial chief of Trinamool Congress, Mamata Banerjee. She not only abstained from voting during Presidential elections but also voted against the NDA candidate Najma Heptullah during the Vice-Presidential polls. Not only this, but she has also turned incommunicado to the NDA leaders.

The reasons are not far to seek. Mamata doesn’t see a future for herself in alliance with the BJP in West Bengal. Recent agitations over Nandigram & Singur have endeared her party among the anti-Left voters in West Bengal. But, BJP doesn’t have a major presence in the state. She therefore, doesn’t see any benefit in aligning with the BJP and instead wants to tie up with the Congress. In recent times she has frequently met senior Congress leader Priya Ranjan Dasmunshi fuelling speculation of an impending tie-up.

In Maharashtra too, BJP is perplexed with the behaviour of its ally – Shiv Sena, which voted for UPA candidate Pratibha Patil during the Presidential polls. Though the party came around to vote for the NDA candidate during Vice-President’s elections, seeds of suspicion have already been sown. Central BJP leaders claim to be under their state unit’s pressure to tie up with Raj Thackeray’s party instead of Shiv Sena. However, NDA leaders present a brave face. Says Sushma Swaraj, “These are mere posturings. NDA is not a small boat which can be rocked so easily.”
