The Game of 64 squares

The game of 64 squares is a game of skill, a game of strategy, a game of thoughts, and a game of give and take. It is a game where skill and honesty is a virtue. It is game that is played by certain rules-rules that are common to all the participants where all the participating players start on a level playing ground. It is a game where there are no outside factors to be factored in. It is a game of defence and attack.
The game of 64 squares was at full display in the current trust vote and was played to near total perfection by all the relevant players. Every participating player had something at stake . Everyone had something to gain and something to lose. The only rule that was followed in the game was that I play the game to my own rules. Everyone played the game by its own rules –rules that suit its own agenda ,where some outside factors needed to be factored in ,where honesty was vice rather than a virtue, where along with mind power ,money power and muscle power were at display in full strength.
It is a game of give and take. Congress, which had the support of Left parties for four years, gave up the support and took the support of Samajwadi party. It is a game of defence and attack. The BJP attacked the nuclear Deal and defended its opposition albeit without giving any concrete reason for opposing the deal. Samajwadi Party’s thinking process suddenly turned pro deal once they could sense the alliance with the Congress and a chance of defeating the BSP.The BSP suddenly became vociferous against the deal and the deal became anti –Muslim for it once it saw the Congress-SP alliance coming in the picture. The Left continued to oppose the deal because it shows India forming a strategic relationship with US while Left wants India to toe China Line.
There were some other smaller parties who used this opportunity to take sides so that they can get some support for next elections. Some independents also took sides so that they can also get their pie in this power game. Money and Muscle power were at show with the everyday trading of the lawmakers. The game of 64 squares has been played with some clear winners and some clear losers. It is the follow up strategy of this game that will decide who are the eventual winners of this game. Time will be the best fortune teller.So let us keep our fingers crossed and wait for the events to unfold at their own pace in the next six months.
