Realignment

Sir, - The stark reality that no political party has any qualms in associating with any party irrespective of its ideologies is well focused in your Editorial ``Realignment in West Bengal'' (The Hindu, April 10).The statement by Mr. L. K. Advani that the Congress was welcome to join the ``grand-alliance'' against the Left Front in West Bengal is all the more astounding inasmuch as he used to be equated with a very few sterling politicians such as Sardar Patel and Morarji Desai who valued their principles. When opportunity is in sight bete noires and erstwhile antagonists turning to be strange bed-fellows, has become common these days.

Overnight, wisdom dawned on Mr. Moopanar to discover `corruption' in the DMK regime and to fight that he has joined the AIADMK. What is painfully amusing is that every politician wants us to believe that he is striving to wipe out corruption.
