Kalyan commits hara-kiri
Sir,
Well, the autocratic
streak in him. Much earlier, he had been accused of that
by his ex-co-partymen in UP. Either he had the trait
abinitio or he developed it over time. Kalyan Singh's
fulminations apart, the machinations he is accused of in
the last Lok Sabha elections, make him a fit case for
expulsion from his party. Will he go into the dustbin of
history like Shanker Singh Vaghela? Or, will he rise like
a Sphinx with tactical positioning alongside Mulayam
Singh? Only time will tell us.
There is something
seriously wrong with the proper training of BJP State
leadership. May be the frog-in-the-well will not grow. A
party that declares discipline, self-denial and service
before self as virtues of partymen must introspect.
Kalyan would have benefitted by going to the centre. He
could have with patience, rubbed shoulder with larger
than life persons, inside and outside the party. One
reckons that he simply did not have the capacity and the
vision to enlarge his canvas of political horizons. His
Vajpayee baiting has reduced to tatters any goodwill
Kalyan still may have had.
Eased he is, thus. He says
that he can or will topple the state government at the
time of his choosing. May we know the interest of the
people of UP in this? It certainly is in his personal
interest and his ego. Or alter ego, Kusum Rai, may be.
BJP must train its cadres
at the top and choose the right kind of leaders at all
state levels. They may not be vote catchers or good at
back-room manipulations always. What good is it for the
party or the nation if they end up as megalomaniac brats?
Yours etc...
