TIFF OVER HOISTING NATIONAL FLAG LIKE PREYING ON CARCASS

IN the school science texts, scavengers are animals that consume dead organisms which may have died from causes other than predation or have been killed by other predators.

Scavengers, who belong to the families of both the carnivores and herbivorous, survive feeding on carrion. While in the ecosystem they play an important role by consuming dead animal and plant material, in literature they are referred to as something which is absolutely parasitical in nature.

The above definition could very well be used as a simile to define the current situation of governance in the national Capital and how the two main players, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are trying to derive flesh from the carcass of an almost dead administration.

The latest round of fight is for who should hoist the national flag at the Delhi government function at the Chaatrasal Stadium on the Independence Day.
