What has played out itself in Madhya Pradesh is a perfect case of how politics is being masked by hypocrisy and waywardness driven by either ignorance or megalomania.
Congress party under the Gandhi dynasty, going from bad to worse, requires no fuel for self-immolation. It would be completely wrong to assume, at this point that, in the Congress, politics can ever be sincere and complete, has been proven so wrong.
And, suited to its design, the Bharatiya Janata Party does exactly wanted its main opposition crumble under its own weight by whatever means possible.
Many analysts may proffer the logic that, it was a case of manipulation that the BJP had engineered to see the Congress under Kamal Nath nosedive.
That raises a question, why shouldn’t the BJP do what, if at all, it did that in MP. How can the BJP trigger a blast within the Congress if there were no powder-keg within.
The situation was tailor designed by the Kamal Nath dispensation to create a situation from where, one cannot expect any rival political party, let alone the BJP, keep vainly searching for scruples like ideology, allegiance and fair-deal or, an ideally authentic politics. Those are things of bygone era and now we have to accept such deceits or manipulations as facts of politics.
In place of the BJP, had it been the Congress, it would have done the same; making hay when Sun shines.
Jyotiraditya Scindia got up to avenge the bouts of persistent insults meted out to him in MP, in total oblivion to the reality that, the latter’s role in making the Congress in MP to power was vital given his individual and organisational success.
But, let alone, getting a centre-stage in MP politics, Scindia’s aspirations were rudely crushed by the Congress and that was a situation which appeared like a low hanging fruit that any political opponent would strike at.
So the BJP did that. It would be a thankless exercise to look for moral equivalence in the present politics regardless of any political party under the sun.
The BJP has made no secret of its goals about a Congress-mukt Bharat and, like, ‘everything is fair in love and war’, tactical manipulations are tools that every political party uses to unleash instability in the enemy camp.
And, lastly, the claims about loyalty of MLAs either by the Congress or the BJP sound shrill and vacuous else why this new phenomenon of keeping the flocks in hotels and resorts in total isolation! Everyone has a price tag ! So, Scindia or the BJP, no one has the obsession with any fair-play. Nobody seems comfortable in his own skin even.
