Didi Took 15 Years To Dominate Bengal. Is 18 Months Enough For National Domination?

Scientific truths are simple. Like, water will find its own level; that is, fluids tend to reach an equilibrium. When fluids are manipulated to serve many purposes, then there is no easy equilibrium that will automatically occur.

The Trinamool Congress also believes that in 18 months it will “dominate” Indian politics. This would require edging out all others including the adroit Samajwadi Party chief, Mr Mulayam Singh Yadav, unless its idea of domination is an entirely different construction from the simple one.
