The filing of papers for election by the PM in Varanasi was not only a rally or a ritual but also a show of strength of the party and claimed to form the government for the third time, the source says. Almost all the leaders of BJP and alliance partners were invited for the occasion, but leaders of JD(S) were not seen, source says. The ex-CM of Karnataka was also not seen though he has ensured to oust his nephew from the party due to the sex scandal now in open and under investigation by law enforcers source says. BJP wants to remain aloof from the JD(S ) to save face and look like the party has distanced itself from the party as well, the person source says. It will be interesting to see how the PM will tackle the issue if happens to take oath the third time source says.
