“After all said & done it’s a victory alright. A pyrrhic victory. A complement, but a left handed one. If BJP forms the government, a very likely outcome, it will be a lame government. It will move on the crutches of its allies. The days of bulldozers & roadrollers are over. You will need tyres that can leak air, get punctured or burst. A vehicle with weak shock absorbers, high fuel consumption & steep maintenance costs. The EMIs will keep getting higher. It’s gonna be tough going, mate,” one wrote

“Good day to spread the meaning of Pyrrhic victory. A Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat,” a third commented
