Too...I am completely thrilled that BJP is in chaos. Toothless and failed old men that have lost thier sense of a clear vision need no longer pretend to be the upholder of checks and balances as the opposition.<br /><br />The more tumult the better. Let there be a revolution. The bloodier the better. The old order stuck in a 60 year old time warp really needs to go. They must make way for a new generation. Let the old men behead each other. Let there be chaos and turmoil. The ground must be wetted by tired old blood to make it a fertile place. One that allows the blooming of a new order and new ideas relevent to today's voting populace. Sometimes only a bloody coup will do that. It is nessecary and let the chips fall where they may. I will watch on the sidelines and cheer and offer clean towels to mop up the blood.<br /><br />For the BJP, the need of the hour is for politicians and ideologues who live in "today" to work out new leadership strategies and the new directions the party needs to move in so that they may be an effective instrument of checks on the ruling goverment. A clear and new manifesto drawn up by vigorous fresh blood rooted in the reality of today and tomorrow is necessary for the party to survive as a viable option for now and for the future.<br /><br />The Congress has already had a revolution that has brought in a new order. Only difference is that thier revolution was seemingly publically bloodless and has been superbly managed over the last 10 years. Today the scion has already been anointed and his cronies and contemporaries are already doing thier "time" until they can be crowned as the vanguard of a new order in reality. The Congress revolution was managed by skillful public shaming and the stealthy cutting off of fractous limbs over the the last ten years. If Pilot and Scindia and a few others had been around today and still vocal the Congress would also have been in the throes of a public bloodbath like the BJP, before the scion was finally anointed. Perhaps HIB and her advisors should be awarded the "green thumb" award for thier pruning skills. There is little public jockeying for first place and the Congress can talk about today and tomorrow because there are none with them who even remember what happened 60 years ago. They talk of today and that my friends is all that finally matters to the people that vote them into power.<br /><br />We need revolutions from time to time and they are sometimes messy affairs and sometimes excercises in discretion. That my friends is the human condition that allows for new directions to be explored in life and in politics.Another Kiran In NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949641865013106368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-82574723437527194432009-08-30T23:21:41.821+05:302009-08-30T23:21:41.821+05:30True that they played with fire and payed the pric...True that they played with fire and payed the price of it.

The cash for votes is scripted by Sudheendra Kulkarni and directed by Advani. So all that drama is for the benefit of the chattering classes and gullible voters. Amar Singh is shedding real and crocodile tears at the same time. Nothing can put him down, even a kidney transplant. I know Arun Shourie is a highly accomplished editor and a purist. But he is with the wrong people. Once again he can go back to Indian Express and make it more readable. And who can forget emergency?
