Just to settle scores over his arch rival and newly elected Congress President Rahul Gandi, the incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several other top BJP leaders tried to raise emotions of the people in Gujrat election rallies by blowing out of proportions some of the controversial tweets of a low key leader of the Jammu & Kashmir unit of the Congress party Salman Nizami. Prime Minister of the country coming down to the level of contesting the statements of a very junior leader of a national party in itself is an indication that BJP does not expect the support and Confidence of the people of Gujrat with which the party has been ruling the state for the last more than one and a half decade. Even if BJP has got the indications of loosing power in Gujrat the Prime Minister should not have come to level of contesting the statements of a junior leader of national level party challenging BJP with its full might in the Gujrat assembly elections. Surprisingly the BJP highlighted the tweets and posts of Salman Nizami’s on social networking sites as if Nizami is the Congress party’s Chief Ministerial Congress party in the Gujrat assembly elections. Interestingly BJP was taking pride in Narendra Modi’s Gujrat model of development before the party’s 2014 election victory but this year the party did not seek the mandate of the people in Utter Pradesh and Gujrat on three year’s performance of the incumbent Modi government at the centre but on the issues concerning relations of India with a neighbouring country and religious places and personalities of the minority muslim community.
As Congress Chief G A Mir has gone on record to say that Nizami was associated with the Congress between 2014 and 2015, but was suspended later, the abortive attempts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other top leaders of the BJP to question the credentials of a low level political worker have exposed the political bankruptcy of the party.
Continuing the politics of religious polarization even at the cost of the political stability of the country just for power and pelf the BJP is showing the intents of not giving up its policy of firming up the roots of religious intolerance. It seems the top brass of the state BJP is not also fully aware even about the organizational changes the Congress party has invoked during last two years in Jammu & Kashmir state and had the state BJP kept the party leaders updated about the organization affairs of the Congress party the Jammu and Kashmir Congress chief Ghulam Ahmad Mir won’t have been driven by a situational compulsion to clarify that Nizami is not even a primary member of his party. As Congress Chief G A Mir has gone on record to say that Nizami was associated with the Congress between 2014 and 2015, but was suspended later, the abortive attempts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other top leaders of the BJP to question the credentials of a low level political worker have exposed the political bankruptcy of the party. Better for Prime Minister Modi to challenge his contemporaries owing allegiance to national party’s challenging BJP in assembly elections than questioning the credentials of low level political workers like Salman Nizami.
