Trapped in the quandary of seat sharing, Ram Vilas Paswan went to meet Narendra Modi a few days ago. He mentioned in detail the problems of religion in the coalition, and asked the prime minister to intervene in this matter. Modi listened to Paswan patiently, and then said in clear words, “Paswan ji, please talk to Amit Shah about all matters concerning the elections; the buck stops with him when it comes to matters relating to the party and elections.” After coming out, Paswan expressed his emotions to a close aide thus: “This is not Vajpeyee ji’s BJP, where decisions would be taken collectively; now there is only one owner and one server.”
