Opinions are subject to change !

Including opinions of political parties about " Opinion Polls "

In the following cases , what were our opinions - before and after ?



>   Ordinance after Rahul Gandhi Press Conference

>   Asaram Bapu before arrest

>   Rape Law after Nirbhaya

>   Kejriwal after Maulana meeting

>   Satyagraha before Gandhiji

>   RTI coverage of political parties before Supreme Court ruling

>   CBI before CAG audits

>   Lalu Yadav as Railway Minister and after Fodder Scam

>   Jan LokPal after Anna Hazare

>   Elections after T N Seshan

>   Inflation after Onions

>   ASI after Unnao gold digging ....... etc

We are all humans - not some computer algorithm.

so , as we grow up and get influenced by people and events around us , we do change our opinions

After each event , a new perspective emerges

We learn to judge people in new perspective

We also try to change other people and future outcome of events , by influencing them with our own opinions

So what is wrong in both , Congress and BJP having changed their opinions about " Opinion Polls " over time ?

Of Course , nothing !

Only thing they won't admit ( at least , publicly ) , is :

"  At any point of time , the prevailing circumstances dictate our opinions .

   We reserve the right to modify our opinions from time to time , in order

   to suit the circumstances

   In politics , just as there are no permanent friends ( or enemies ), there

   are no permanent virtues ( or vices ) - nor permanent opinions  !

   We are " Rational " people who must , for ever , consider what is in our

   best interest , at a point of time ( ala " Game Theory / Nash Equilibrium "  

   of John Nash ) "

   End of the controversy  !

   So be it  !
