Politicians of all hues who are only clamouring for their own share of the  pie of national loot by providing oxygen to the sick government through their votes and support. Sharad Pawar, Ajit Singh, Mulayam Singh and Ms Mamta Banerjee are guilty of asking for plum ministries and huge packages for their states. In  normal parlance such activity  would be termed as blackmail. But strange are the ways of polity and they like to term it as politics. So much so every single vote owner, be it from the main ruling party or its supporting parties, has to be kept in good humour at the cost of good economics, good governance and good politics.
