An elections, Jayaprakash supposed, Was a group matter. "It would be challenging if I had any enmity against them, Or if one of several any enmity against me. We are members of a household, Anybody has to run it, And that must be we have to decide. It's such as Sree [Srinath] And me are batting next to each other, It is for the members to use one of us out. Then right bash innings, We purchase and work as a team,
