B.J.P's obsession with the Gandhi suffix.............

From times immemorial the best of the fire arms that B.J.P. traded towards the Congress was the latter's obsession of the " Gandhi " name. Nehru-Gandhi, kind of dynastic rhetoric baked the opposition's cake for almost four decades. The intoxication of such a name dint seem to leave the party's craving to see the magic attached to a Gandhi word...... even if it would mean a BLACK MAGIC............ or else how can one explain the inductment of Maneka Gandhi even though she carried the legitimate tag of being an estranged daughter-in-law of their most hated enemy --Indira Gandhi.

The prized possession and then dispossessed and disowned member of the Congress's inner household who had her name changed at the instance of Indira Gandhi, from Meneka --the seductive dancing character of Lord Indra's court- to Maneka; the woman who was one of those whom the messiah of the much criticised Emergency era Sanjay Gandhi would treat as a one night destination (until her advocate father forced Sanjay to marry her rather than being dragged to the court), the sensational dame displaying her electrifying youthful body modelling in only a towel wrapped around ........... the very nature of her qualification going against the morals and character of an organisation whose parent allies would create a ruckus over a mere VALENTINE'S celebration.................. That she walked so long in the B.J.P., with the B.J.P. shows the extent of compromise the party has gone up to, to suit its immediate vote bank.

As if it was not enough.............in their zeal to see the double-effect of the magic word Gandhi,,,,,,,,, the party after a public goof-up by its leader in appreciating Jinnah as a secular identity in a non-secular fundamentalist nation Pakistan,,,,,,,tried to cash on the hate speech of Varun Gandhi, which could have resulted in a large scale communal conflagration. The cashing -on strategy was as it is a hollow one with the party high command after a long silence --forced to condemn it but twisted it to the extent of questioning the veracity of the contents of the speech. Although these two imported Gandhi's ( imported... because of ideological and inherent factors) but of a pure desi origin made their way to the 15th lok sabha but the pathetic defeat of the party who once courageously erected its citadel from a mere 2 to 100 plus seats in the parliament, proved that the magic of the Gandhi name signifies an absolute diametrically opposite perspective in the two diametrical opposite parties.

The only thing the B.J.P.has achieved is helping create an all time record for the 4 Gandhis to be in the parliament. Be it the Gandhi of whatever party, the B.J.P. has openly acknowledged its own obsession with the word Gandhi even when it means promoting the son and wife of the man who once UPON A TIME was a terror to send a shudder down the spine of these very people who now projected Feroze Gandhi's son as the new poster boy of an --on the route-defunct party. What now is to be seen is- How soon would Maneka Gandhi become "The Sonia Gandhi of B.J.P."?
