One of the great oddities of this election is fielding of MP’s in the assembly elections (esp. by the BJP )- the excuse of delimitation doesn’t wash. There have been delimitations earlier too but they opened opportunities for the lower rung and not the other way round ( viz. Digvijay Singh was the municipality chairman when delimitation provided him a chance to contest assembly elections ). Politics is a game of growth and a person accustomed to broader national vision cannot shrink it and alter his attitude by the switch of a button.
