Mahakutami in a grand mess

Things are going from bad to worse in the Mahakutamai as the debate over the contentious seat sharing issue threatens to tear the grand alliance right down the centre.
Angered wit the fighting over seats between the TDP (Telugu Deasm Party) and the TRS (Telangana Rashtra Samiti), ‘big brother’ CPM has decided to thrown its weight around, demanding that it be given more seats than the CPI. Understandably the smaller member of the Left Front, CPI does not like the idea and is seriously opposing the CPM overture. The CPI settled for 16 assembly and four Lok Sabha seats. But the CPM kicked up a tantrum on Wednesday, by going public with the list of 20 assembly seats it wants to contest. The CPM is insisting that it be given 20 if the CPI is being given 16.
Until then Naidu had been saying that he would be able to give the two left parties 16 seats each and not more. It is being speculated thatthe TDP chief has made a new proposition offering 16 Assembly seats to the CPM and offering 13 to the CPI. The CPI, is in no mood to give up and is insisting that it will not accept anything less than 16 assembly seats.
With three days left for filing the nominations the least we can expect is a few more twists to the tale. Long live coalition politics. If only we could have a reality show based on seat sharing in Andhra.
