The way the veterans--including the patriarchs--are being treated in BJP, is very saddening. Many such instances have been reported recently. Doesn't it seem preposterous in the name of party management?
The end justifies the means will come into the picture only when you will inch closer towards the magic figure--by hook or by crook(the Machiavellian principle) or coalescing new tie-ups, before or after the polls. But, shenanigans like these--the insults--will not only dent your image of an iron man; but you will lose some valuable votes of those voters who still value the Indian system also.
All the old and tested horses of the Indian politics are regaled and insulted daily: be it Mr Lalji Tondon or Dr Murli Manihar Joshi or Mr Jaswant Singh or Mr L.K.Advani; all are mistreated with the same fervor and disrespect.
The new poll management team headed by the party's last CM in UP is upbeat from its expectations of the anti incumbency to such an extent that now the once acclaimed party of discipline and culture looks similar--sometimes worse also--to other parties in the rat race. Where is the guiding principles, the respect for Indian tradition, the culture?
No doubt, BJP is a different party now--certainly not a party with a difference. But, will these GenX leaders will doubt that those leaders have worked very hard to bring BJP to the place where it is. And hardly the forefathers of BJP would have envisaged such a scenario when they will be insulted so often.
If the new leaders think that they are going to make it alone, with a red carpet welcome to the refugees, but insulting the elders; let me reiterate that they will meet the same fate once they are old; for, one gets what one gives. And these precedents does not augur well for BJP.
Ironically, the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate is loosing his sheen on theses matters and all the happenings point to the fact that this new vote waiver will waver the expectations out of the expecting people of India very soon. Mr Modi and Mr Singh earlier you mend your ways, the better; for Genx leaders are ready to take over the mettle--the baton--with elan--sans your haughtiness and disrespect for elders-- for the next 2019 elections.
The end justifies the means will come into the picture only when you will inch closer towards the magic figure--by hook or by crook(the Machiavellian principle) or coalescing new tie-ups, before or after the polls. But, shenanigans like these--the insults--will not only dent your image of an iron man; but you will lose some valuable votes of those voters who still value the Indian system also.
