BRING BACK ATALJI THE IMMORTAL.

Rajnath Singh has always been a washout from day one like any other Party leader who has been imposed on it instead of being “genuinely” elected. This pernicious practice had been introduced into the Party by L.K Advani who is basically a weak and insecure person.

Some Thakurs have been historically divisive from the days of Jaichand. Bring back Atalji irrespective of his health. He is in better shape than Fidel Castro or even Arjun Singh and yet they are hanging on. Atalji is merely fed up with the way the BJP has shaped itself into. I remember his once referring to a Talat Mehmood song, “Jaye to jaye kahan,” when a scribed had described him as a good man in a bad Party. His brain is still razor sharp. It is only his knees that make it hard for him to walk. His slow way of speaking now may be a different style statement. It definitely sounds better than the nasal gibberish of Manmohan Singh or badly pronounced Hindi screeching speeches read out by Sonia trying to imitate her mother-in-law in style and failing. His only blot was Ranjan Bhattacharya, the husband of his foster daughter Namita.

With Atalji in-charge all the others in the Party will fall in line and his image is acceptable to all parties in India in case of another coalition with new NDA partners as well. He has always lived up to his life’s philosophy of, “I never hit anyone below the belt.” It is unfortunate that he has become the EL CID of the BJP. Even if he genuinely does not wish to be PM he should announce his willingness now categorically and then decide what to do after having led the Party to victory.

BJP should immediately throw out all those who put their own egos before the Party like it did with Uma Bharati, Madanlal Khurana, Govindacharya, Shankarsinh Vaghela and now Shekhawat (another Thakur) who is just a CM material.

No one is above the Party. And MOST importantly, it MUST win back the trust of the Sangh Parivar whose dedicated cadres can never be substituted for ground work which is the mainstay of winning any election anywhere like the CPI (M) has proved in West Bengal over and over again in the last 32 years. Advani and his chamchas may want him as PM but unless the electorate wants it that way he comes nowhere near that seat. He may be later "persuaded" to occupy it by Atalji declining due to deteriorating health grounds like a modern day Vishma Pitamaha. Who knows, power may work like a miraculous Mrithsanjeevani on him. The only problem is that he being atal (resolute) who is going to plead with him? Let me be the first one with this article.
