"They only have to succeed once, we have to succeed all the time," shouted the joint Anti Terrorism Squad chief K.P. Raghuvanshi, at a heated press conference. Local media had accused the squad of acting too slowly on intelligence tips that an attack was in the works.

It would be an ignominious end for the party and would trigger mass defections by members anxious not to be left out in the cold before the next election, scheduled for October.
