In election season, every party is hoping to get lucky with alliances. Sunday saw the first signs of political realignment. By 1 pm in the afternoon, Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) chief K Chandrashekar Rao accompanied by his family members called on Congress President Sonia Gandhi. br br It may have been a thanksgiving exercise, but Mr Rao seems to have set the stage for a renewal of his ties with the Congress. But for another Congress ally, it is time to look elsewhere. Barely a couple of hours after Mr Rao met Mrs Gandhi, news came out that Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) chief Ram Vilas Paswan, a potential ally of the Congress in Bihar, may be tying up with the BJP for the Lok Sabha elections.
