Dr Manmohan Singh after bitterly criticizing BJP in the morning calls on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the afternoon. Many TV channels speculate as to why this meeting took place. There are rumours galore that he went to tutor the PM on how to run Indian economy, and some said he called on the Prime Minister for political asylum owing to various scams committed during UPA regime. And BJP won the general elections because of the scams.

On the face of it BJP and Congress might be bitter rivals but the moral of the story is even a bitter rival can give his opponent a lifetime of an opportunity. Perhaps, PM Narendra Modi didn’t forget this gesture. So who helps whom is often not in the hands of we human beings.

 Mohd Asaduddin Owaisi, is a bitter rival of BJP. But what will happen if his party MIM decides to contest UP elections. The Muslim votes will further get divided amongst Congress, SP, MIM, BSP and BJP. And who will it benefit--BJP? So in politics no one knows who’s helping whom.
