Atleast three political parties — Bahujan Samaj Party, Biju Janata Dal and the AIADMK — which have together 44 members in the Lok Sabha, have been distancing themselves from the three Fronts — UPA, ND

The Congress is distancing itself from the DMK on the 2G scam, suggesting that the latter will have to fight the legal and political battle on its own. The Dravadian party, which had failed to play a role of the “king maker” like TDP leader N. Chadrababu Naidu had played during the NDA regime and the Marxists in the UPA-I, is getting marginalised at the Centre.
