K.C. Tyagi, special adviser and chief spokesperson, JD(U)
Q/ The Congress has initiated seat-sharing discussions with allies. How do you look at that?
A/ It is a positive step, though the discussions have begun late. We are lagging behind the BJP. They are conducting booth meetings and giving out Ram temple prasad. We have not held a single joint public meeting.
Q/ The INDIA alliance was formed on the premise that the opposition would put up one candidate per seat in around 400 seats. Can it be achieved?
A/ That is our main agenda and we are working in that direction. We will have alliances in Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir.
Q/ The alliance looks like a divided house, given the bitter exchanges on seat sharing.

The battle of words
As young adults we certainly used abbreviations and cryptic phrases. But MC and BC did not stand for the master of ceremonies and the era before Christ. They stood for something else which, if said in full, would certainly have made our mothers make us rinse our mouths with soap. Once you have tasted soap, you would not want to taste it ever again.
