I've always has a deep interest in Politics , My country and its development , have a huge reserve of latent talent ( kuch zyada ho gya !!) . Now there is so much template in my blog . One at least deserve political topic, isn't it ? So i thought , why i shouldn't come up with political concern !! For that kudos goes to my near and dear one !!
We all familiar with news headline , these days , BJP in turmoil (everyday !!)
Latest due to , Jaswant Singh's book titled 'Jinnah: India, Partition, Independence' . , a prominent BJP leader , former external affairs and finance minister Jaswant Singh and last but not least important the fall guy of Khandahar .
The current schism within the BJP , seemingly precipitated by jaswant singh's book praising Pak's Jinnah. In my view it is less about ideology of BJP rather it is more about personality .
Mr Singh's endorsement of Jinnah may indeed have raised saffron hackles . But was that in itself enough to expel from the party ? After all'hadnt L.k.Advani (one of the prominent decision maker of expulsion , father figure withing party !!) made similar commendatory remarks about Jinnah around 4 years ago during a visit to Pak , and got away more or less unscathed ?
My last para clearly suggest that Mr singh's ouster is based not on ideological grounds (his espousal of jinnah ) but on his personal equation in the ongoing power struggle within the BJP.
Ever since Mr Vajpayee bowed out /was made to do so by advance age and physical infirmity the leadership within the BJP has been a bone of contention.
I'm sure wt ever the eventual outcome , the BJP current plight carries one clear message more so than ever before , In Indian politics today ideology counts for nothing and and the cult of personality counts of everything .
