Who will pledge loyalty to India?

(A brief and quick sneak into the present political 'developments'.)

Well as we see the election fever has started, oflate, our politicians are pledging their loyalties to their 'Saviours' and 'ideologies'.
Starting with our left parties, hanging with the UPA till yesterday, inspite of their failure with the Nuclear deal and other issues. Today, they join for a protest with UNPA against UPA, with safely avoiding talk on their 'outside' support. What is worse, Mr.Buddhadeb Bhattacharya, blames the PM and UPA for the backwardness and the tortoise-rate development of Bengal. That is understandable, as they (Leftists and UPA), have to fight their battles against each other in Kerala and Bengal, but will be 'Bhaiyyas' at the centre for 'mutual' benefit and development. (Well, what about the development of the people?)
The TRS chief, Mr.Chandrasekhara Rao, came out of the UPA just before elections, and started modulating his voice for the Telangana crescendos. He denounced the Congress and Smt.Sonia about their callous attitude towards Telangana and holds them hard for the betrayal of the Telangana people. But, at the same time, I hope he knows it is not the Congress, but 'a certain group of people' who remembers Telangana just before elections, and that Telangana is betrayed by those people. Nowadays, he slowed down on his views and comments on dynasty politics, as he is firmly planning for his own family into the arena. Atleast, some relief for the people in Andhra pradesh, that some undulating harangues of TRS would stabilize into just anti-congress atleast for the time being, previously about which they were always left confused.

The congress men started calling Mr.Rahul as the 'Crown Prince', and 'Yuvraj' to make sure that they are there in the news columns. They would also like to get noticed in the 'benign' eyes of the party 'highest' command. Infact the constant Rahul mantra chant, has even irritated their bestower of 'boons'. Already Karunanidhi, Sharad Powar, Arjun Singh and Praful Patel strongly backs Mr.Rahul as the potential future PM for the next tenure.
"I shall also do everything to maintain loyalty and commitment to the remaining members of the Gandhi family," says our Arjun Singh, again on the eve of elections, trying to prove he is more 'hencher' than any henchmen of Congress. Ofcourse, I wouldn't doubt his loyalty, I hope so does Mrs.Sonia. But, my question is who will pledge their loyalty towards India?
