circumstances is the key

There are no permanent friends or foes in the world of politics. who said it? not just in politics I think it is the order of the day. You set a target which you know pretty well that you cannot achieve it on your own so you look out for a "partner" who has the similar target in his /her mind.Of course, there may be ideological difference but to accomplish the target gets the top priority. The next step would be to narrow down the differences to chalk out a CMP----Common Minimum Programme so that there won't be any glitch in accomplishing the "common goal". If someone say I have a true "friendship" for you don't believe it . It is nothing but a hogwash. Learn from our politicians how effectively they "exploit" us at the same time their earnings doesn't get affected.
