A few days ago, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh delivered a knockout punch to Mr. Advani's position. Strength or weakness of a person should not be judged by words, he said. A person might use strong words but might be weak in action. The PM hinted that such a person must be considered a weak person.
Consider Mr. Advani's record. A terrorist attack on parliament. An abject surrender to militants in the plane hijack case. Finally, no containment of Maoist menace and no concrete action against conversion menace or Bangladheshi influx.. That, in short, is the sum and substance of Mr. Advani's achievements as a home minister. Such a person cannot be branded as a strong person by any measure.
Look at how Mr. Advani faces media. When he talks to Padmashree Barkha Dutt, he goes soft and starts talking in terms of emotional words and hurt. A total sell out to a channel that I feel is aggresively anti-hindu. Do all BJP supporters like it? Do RSS people like it? Do they like to see one of their top leaders surrender emotionally to Padmashree Barkha Dutt? Well, well. Nobody (Rajeev - the head of the BJP censor team - has not complained) has complained yet so we assume they approve of all this.
But the PM has won this round hands down. Will the BJP think of having a different leader? A young one? One who has studied Bhagvad geeta , one who could make a clear demarcation between those who are on the side of the good, and those who are not (Kauravas), and one who will deal firmly, not emotionally with those who are against common people of India?
