Surjit Khannaâs article is full of wishful thinking not worth commenting upon. In the next few months we may see new political alignments and much of this will depend upon the outcome of the power struggle within the BJP. The intensity of the power struggle is visible. The BJPâs quick move in distancing itself from the statement made by Smt Sushma Swaraj clearly indicates the amount of distrust that is prevailing amongst the top leaders of the organisation. It is high time that the old timers should give way to the younger generation in the party , who can give a clear direction to its followers.
At present, we find that all political parties are trying to keep their option open for a political line up ; depending upon the outcome of the next general election. Today, we find that Shri Amar Singh had a meeting with Miss Mamata Banerjee. There are already talks of a possible tie up between the BJP and Congress, in case the same is needed to prevent any major political adventure by the BJP leadership in Utter Pradesh. It will be interesting to see what will be actual political line up on the run to the next general election and thereafter. It appears that the BJP as got the feeling that a pure Hindu religious agenda will not make any real impact of the electorate.
