NDA: Allies frequently flex their muscles but voting in both Houses of Parliament recently showed that when the crunch comes, they don't want to rock the boat.

NCP-Congress: Sonia's Vilasrao Deshmukh and Pawar's Chhagan Bhujbal are at daggers drawn in Maharashtra but with BJP-Sena waiting in the wings, they limp along.
