[The expelling of Shri Jaswant Singh from the BJP without even giving him an hearing is part of the Power game that is being played inside the BJP. There are two distinct groups that are competing with each other to have supremacy and control of the party. In this struggle, the ideology of the party or the future prospect of the party is of secondary importance.
It is rather too simplistic a statement to say that the expulsion is to please the Nehru family.Raj Nath Singh or so that matter the BJP parliamentary board are no great friends of the Congress. They feel that their action will bring back the Hindu vote bank tinto the fold of the party, thus without much effort they can improve their position in the next round of elections. How far this will transform into reality is an open question.
