Politics and Camel Story : A view through Delhi Election Polls

Finally, Campaign of Delhi Assembly is over but politics and fate of politicians are not closed yet, still there are much scope for them(Though unacceptable to Election commission but very well within the established political custom ) till  last voter casts his vote on 4th December,2013.
This time every Delhiites have felt a wave of change but it's not merely because a strong anti-incumbency rage against the ruling Government in view of 'price rise' or 'corruption' ( thanks to forgettable approach of life of we "AAM JANTA") or not merely because Opposition Party at Center has projected a powerful leader (Subject to interpretation) as its Prime-Ministerial Candidate for upcoming Loksabha Election or  not merely because of Speculation of 'Third Front' ( void collaboration among  supremo of various political parties in context of their individual Dreams to be Prime Minister of Nation ( I seriously find no wrong with such Dreams) and their passion to stretch and be flexible enough to welcome politicians with similar dreams from every corner (Classical Example of Integrity in political Diversity) but more than above it's because of a newly born political party who claims its history  from "Jan-Andolan" ( No matter it has support of  its mentor or not , rather doubted by its mentor himself ) and who claims to be a game changer( They very well adhere to principle that to change a rule of a game , one has to first master it) with their only capital i.e. honesty( subject to interpretation) but also having laud vocal cord (which may go in favor or against also ).
Anyway focusing at present, its interesting to watch the Delhi Assembly Polls due to this third player and more interesting to see the results and its subsequent impact as a whole. During the last month, Delhiites have witnessed claim of 'Honesty' by this Third Player, Claim of 'History' to preserve Delhi in well experienced Hands by Ruling Party and Claim of Opposition Party taking a middle path and  digging at both ruling and newly aspired party. Delhiites did also saw revelation of the Honest Party by way of Sting Operation and subsequent clarification to come clean (in its own terms) and cover-up (in terms of other existing Players) and dirty game of accusation , cross-accusation and Re-accusation. Even the newly born Party also seems getting good points in terms of understanding the rule of game( without any damage to their only capital i.e Honesty : subject to interpretation).

However, without going in detail of the rule of game,  this third player/newly born Party( Who managed to catch eyeballs and got  place in reports of the Newyork Times  ) reminds me an old and famous  "which side the camel sits" story. I hope you remember the story , if not, just Google it.
 Although both existing players(Ruling and Opposition) are denying the very root and prospect of this third player but  even ready to laugh at other if other's share is bitten by this third player. In fact, it cannot be ruled out that which player is not in reach of this new player rather  both are within reach of this third player and it can harm either of them or both of them in substantive way( again substantive loss to other does not guarantee numbers in terms of sits for them.)
We have to  wait and watch for only couple of days and we will able to see which side this camel finally have sit.
 By Then my prayer will be with Delhiites.
