Raut also said that since Sharad Pawar has lauded Atal Bihari Vajpayee, he won't be surprised if Pawar joins NDA post-elections.
Raut further says in his article that in case BJP fails to cross 272 seats then the triumvirate of Mamata , Mayawati and jayalalithaa will decide the fate of the government.
Raut mentions that efforts are already on to persudae Mamata but she may demand either Railway Ministry or Home Ministry. According to Raut, while Jayalalithaa herself wants to be the Prime Minister mayawati may ask for Deputy Prime Minister position.
