One can tell easily when a wave precedes elections , Pundits contemplate
too much in lack of a wave. However no one reads even the under currents and
winds better than the political class. Even politicians with little or no mass
following know the direction of flow as to their vicinity with the political
leaders with some base.
The Congress knows well the writing on wall as do the people. So
called party Idealouges and TV channel favorites like Mani Shankar Aiyer, Shakeel Ahmad are talking “mauvias avenir” and at times
even advocating a five year Banwas.The Congress realizing the upcoming upheaval
has started taking rear guard actions like appointment of Sachin Pilot as
Rajasthan Congress President. These actions are certainly with a view to stem
the rot but the leadership also realizes that such appointments will give results
only in the long run and not in near future. It is now in a process of
controlling the inner demons.
Congress leaders shiver and
sweats are in abundance with the thought of BJP gaining Powers at Delhi. The
option of supporting AAP furtively is natural way out for Congress post realization and estimation.
Cartoonists had a field day with the coercion support by Congress to AAP in Delhi . The new party of
course apologetically took the bait. However the scenario remains fluid with AAP
fighting it’s inner demons more than the BJP. AAP can be faulted of living in state
of incongruity as Peoples Movement believe
in quantitative approach ,rather than the tiring qualitative approach. The chaos ,ruckus and hog of limelight worked wonders for AAP initially but Governance and administration are never at ease with cacophony.
Indian political parties especially the novice know how to fetter away the goodwill in a fizzle. The melodrama of some rabble rousing members can reverse
the spiral rise into spiral slide. Only few in BJP realize that inner demons of
AAP is more threatening to the new born baby than the autoimmune injections of
castigation.
Patience has never been a virtue with BJP and it’s supporters. Even the
old guard opted for a 13 day government rather than have the gifted quality of
Patience.The Modi army is devoid of this quality more . 272 + campaign is
another demonstration of the virtue or lack of it. Some sections of BJP should
realize that its inner demons can do more damage to it’s mission than AAP. It’s
inability to take along allies like Shiv Sena ,Assam Gana Parishad is more
crucial to it’s schemes than castigating a near self destructive AAP.
So much for the inner Demons..
