Playing Palace Politics

Meanwhile, Mrs Sonia Gandhihad better watch out. Whatever version of palace politics she is playing can easily backfire. Of course, if Rao had any guts he would call her bluff. The truth is Sonia needs the Congress more than the Congress needs Sonia. A non-Congress government in Delhi would soon deprive the lady of the innumerable privileges she currently enjoys. My advice to Mrs G: Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
