Has BJP become the victim of individualism? Sunil Negi

The Bhartiya Janata Party has become the victim of individualism. It has now nothing to do with the programmes, policies, ideology and anything that concern the people of the country. The sole motto of BJP seems to be to grab political power at the centre in 2014 national elections, come what may. Their leadership is quite desperate in this context and that's the reason that they have even gone to the extent of deliberately and intentionally forgetting their main patriarch Lal Krishna Advani in not seeking advice from him before handing over the chairmanship of the national campaign committee for the 2014 elections in desperation knowing very well that Advani will be badly hurt and annoyed and can even go to the extent of quitting BJP. Everybody know that Modi is the political product of Advani and it was the latter who outrightly safeguarded his Chief Ministership during the 2002 Gujarat riots when leaders of the stature of Atal Behari Vajpayee as Prime Minister wanted to dethrone Modi in view of the most obnoxious Godhra riots. Had he been dethroned at that point of time as desired by Vajpayee , Advani would have been in quite a comfortable position today politically. Now , today the same product of the BJP's patriarch Modi is the greatest challenge to him and had made him rather completely effectless in India politics as well apart from the politics of BJP. While Modi is more worried for being the future Prime Minister aspirant of BJP in the 2014 elections, Advani is also worried for being not able to get his last wish fulfilled to hold the highest office of the largest democracy of the world. Is it not the individualism that is primarily dominating the BJP and no parleys or talks about the policies, programmes and initiatives for the peoples' welfare are being talked about. It seems that Rajnath Singh's only priority today is to polarise Hindu votes of the country through MOdi and capture the reigns of the country come what may. Is this the political and ideological standard that the BJP is today reduced to. Everybody know they are opportunists and communal but nobody knew that hey can stab their own leader from the back as happened with Advani for the sake of grabbing political power which in fact is still a distant dream.Shame.

Will Shiela make history again? Sunil Negi




The recent surveys being carried out by various prestigious periodicals, magazines and the newspapers in Delhi about the possibilities of the Congress, BJP and the AAP party coming to power in Delhi in the elections slated to be held in November,13 the news is not bad for the Congress Party as according to various surveys the situation is drastically changing in absolute favour of Congress Party in view of the vast development of the Capital of India in terms of massive infrastructural development that no other city, town or the state has witnessed in the last 65 years after achieving independence. The thinking of the electorates of the country is changing rapidly and everybody wants rapid and overall development. Whether its the development in infrastructure, education, industries, sports, metro, flyovers, job opportunities, elevation in the living standards or the over all progress in the domestic front. And one can say with sufficient amount of satisfaction that during the last fifteen years of the Shiela Dikshit rule, things have dramatically changed for better as compared to the development of the past and of the other states of the country being ruled by the Congress and the opposition parties. Yes , if a particular government rules for a pretty long time and a protracted period of 15 years there is definitely an anti-incumbency factor that works against the ruling party and the same is surely there in Delhi. But if we go by the latest survey results Shiela Dikshit's development plank having changed the face of Delhi upside down in terms of over all hitech development, is bringing her back to power in Delhi as there is no leader of her capability in the opposition to match her leadership qualities. If we talk of BJP and the AAP posing as the main challenge to her, political analysts say that AAP will intrude into the BJP's vote bank as the votes which BJP would have received from Congress'es antagonism or say because of the anti-incumbency factor would be captured by AAP making chances of Congress's coming to power more strong, convenient and safer as BJP will get their own committed votes and so will Congress i.e. its own committed votes plus the votes of huge and massive development. My analysis seems to be bit unacceptable but the survey reports are not giving much seats to the BJP as it is expecting . There will be difference of seats and the BJP may increase their tally but quite negligibly which will be easily and comfortably covered by the Congress by bringing into confidence the independents as well as other allies like BSP or Nationalist Congress Party. So be ready to have the services of the Congress for the fourth time
