Myopic BJP!

“Our yardstick of success is how much, and how fast, we move in the direction of making India achieve all-round progress and regain its glory and greatness.” That’s Mr. Nititn Gadkari , India’s main opposition party’s national president in his website. While he is trying to be the forward thinking man of this sinking party, his acts are mischievously obnoxious like his mentor Lal Krishna Advani. His vision again terribly myopic similar to his mentor. Otherwise how do you explain his tie up with all time corrupt Sibu Soren in Jharkhand, his continuation of coalition with Shiv Sena in Maharashtra and asking minorities to give up their claim in Ayodhya. It is pure short sightedness…nothing else.

Gadkari has been trying his best to copy Rahul Gandhi. He spent even a night in Dalit’s house recently. But action wise he likes following the footprints of BJP’s iron man. And that’s lead me to believe that he is just the next one helping this party with grand vision of its ancestor to reach to its lowest counting (which was 2 MPs in 1984).

As I have said time and again that India’s voting population is literate now. They can very well distinguish good from bad. Times of fake promises are gone. Politicians are not voted for their ideologies anymore. While it is good to keep old and experience people as a think tank, its important to develop a system to include more youngsters into the working committee of party. I am not saying that Rahul Gandhi is exactly doing this but somehow he has developed a credibility of a man who walks his talk.

I was in Jharkhand last week and trying to know from the villagers that what made them vote for a corrupt party like JMM. All of them said they had got threatening letters from Maoists advising to vote for JMM. I was amazed to see almost no naxal attack during Jharkhand election. Now only I realize that they wanted a peaceful election to get Sibu Soren as chief minister. And BJP helped him to get there. Next time what should this party expect from Jharkhand? In fact Jharkhand was one of very few states which rallied behind BJP once. But in return what it got? Unfortunately this state has become a money laundering factory for all the party. With fewer parliamentary seats, it anyway does not play major power balance game in center. With JMM in power at least some portion of looted money will remain in state.

BJP needs to follow its ideology of clean politics. In stead it has chosen to go to any extent even for small power gain. That’s tragic for this party. Mr. Gadkari, you need to walk your talk matey! For the time being at least WALK...that will help lose some fat...hahaha!
