Congress's worst enemy: Not Opposition, but allies?
Two days ago, Trinamol Congress chief Mamata Banerjee - one of the key allies in the Congress-led UPA government - showed the Congress the door. Today, more bitter words between the allies. A Congress minister today said that theirs is not a party of tom dick or harry and if the high command says so, they will quit. A Trinamool minister hit back, saying the exit door is open. This problem with the allies today plagues the Congress from east to west. In Mumbai, the NCP's demand for 65 of the 227 seats in the municipal elections has got the Congress hopping mad.
