Riding the tide and going with the flow!

A very senior politico and a young politico who were known to be rivals like the proverbial mongoose and the cobra during the last general polls have patched up their differences soon after the polls and have been seen participating in political activity together in a spirit of camaraderie.

Their new friendship had been the subject of a conversation of a group of people taking a walk along a wewa bund recently, they say.

The young politico has, in a sense, got isolated, as the senior politico has the knack for falling readily in line with the thinking of the Buddhist clergy and the peasantry in the area.

The senior politico has been right throughout his career ensuring his political survival by being pragmatic enough to practice realpolitik, they say.
