In the last 48 hours, we have seen obscene power play, leaked audio tapes of inducements of money and favours. One did not think it was possible but in the last week, the dignity and the confidence of the people in the political system has fallen even more. We are a country today that is not worried about horse-trading but in fact, it seems to have gotten so normalised that people are actually finding it exciting and not dangerous. That is the subject for our discussion tonight - at what point does legitimate political strategising cross the line into lawlessness? And where do the shenanigans of the Congress and BJP fit on this spectrum?
