Reality caught up with Team Anna rather unexpectedly when its chief political backer, the BJP, welcomed tainted ex-BSP minister Babu Singh Khushwaha into the party on the eve of the UP assembly polls. In a state where the difference between victory and defeat often rests on arithmetic rather than chemistry, the BJP opted to discard Anna's anticorruption plank for cold caste calculations . An internal survey commissioned by the party had listed Khushwaha as an important leader of an OBC group with sizeable presence in as many as 100 assembly segments across the state. It was a choice between taking the high moral ground with Anna or chasing votes with the BSP discard. Realpolitik won.
