"Sometimes, one did not want to do "gadbad (create chaos), gadbad just happens. When words leave the mouth they are like arrows that cannot be taken back!"

"A post-poll survey conducted by the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies and published in The Hindu of May 20, 2004 revealed that had Mr. Vajpayee not been at the helm, the BJP would have polled a whopping 5.7 percentage points less than it did — has little patience with his equivocations now."

The same article calls Vajpayee "flip-flopper", which justifies GG maava's Casandra like accusations(Mask Man)

"If the BJP wants to remain relevant, it must re-invent itself to suit the needs of an India that it has itself helped change. Today the country is quietly confident about dealing with a demanding world, including some troublesome neighbours. India moved away from the BJP because it could do without the party's distorted preoccupation with the grammar of cultural nationalism. Hindutva once paid electoral dividends because it answered the needs of the moment. And that moment has passed. Hindutva will no longer work. The post-Vajpayee, post-Advani leadership must begin attending to the task of making the BJP a normal, conservative, Right-wing political party"

The BJP's past is not its future, The Hindu, June 09,2004.

and saviours:

LIKE mourners bickering at a funeral, members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are busily apportioning blame for their surprise defeat in the elections held in India in April and May. They are also squabbling over its future direction and leadership, and over how to handle a revolt in the ranks in the state of Gujarat against the leadership of Narendra Modi, the chief minister, and most controversial of all BJP politicians.

On one side are those who think the party needs to broaden its appeal as a moderate, centrist, force. On the other are those who want the BJP to reassert its identity as the champion of India's Hindu majority. The BJP is the political branch of a "family" of Hindu organisations, whose parent is the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Many within the RSS believe that the election was lost because not enough attention was paid to the movement's core purpose, the promotion of Hindutva, or "Hinduness".

The former prime minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, seen as a moderate, managed to keep these different strands together during the party's six years in government, but he is 79 and retreating from the front line. He will remain chairman of the BJP's parliamentary party and of the National Democratic Alliance, the coalition of a dozen parties it led in the outgoing government. But the formal leader of the opposition--and, as the leader of the BJP's parliamentary group, its most public face--will now be Lal Krishna Advani, who was Mr Vajpayee's deputy prime minister.

Mr Advani is trying to live down his image as a tub-thumping hardliner. In the early 1990s, he dragged the BJP from the political fringes to the verge of national power by leading a divisive campaign for the construction of a Hindu temple in Ayodhya, where a mosque then stood. He is 76 and so presumably cannot hope to be more than an interim leader. But who could succeed him?

A number of younger politicians, jostling for prominence, have suffered setbacks. Sushma Swaraj, the outgoing health minister, became a figure of fun after promising to shave her head if Sonia Gandhi, the Italian-born leader of the ruling Congress party, became prime minister. Pramod Mahajan, a BJP general secretary, and Arun Jaitley, the former commerce minister, were seen as brilliant political strategists. Yet the BJP's election campaign, boasting of economic successes invisible to many voters, was a disaster.

Moreover, none of these is an elected politician with a mass power base. Gujarat's Mr Modi, on the other hand, led the BJP to a landslide in state elections in 2002, and has a devoted following among hardcore BJP and RSS activists. However, he is loathed and feared by India's large Muslim minority and by liberals across the country. His government was accused of complicity in anti-Muslim riots in Gujarat in 2002, when perhaps 2,000 people were killed. Not a single murder has since led to a conviction. In April, the country's Supreme Court called Mr Modi's government "modern-day Neros", and accused it of having "sympathies more for the accused than the victims".

Nationally, although Mr Vajpayee has blamed complacency rather than Gujarat for the NDA's poor electoral showing, not all his alliance partners agree. That, however, is not why Mr Modi is in political trouble. In the parliamentary elections, the BJP's share of Gujarat's 26 seats fell from 20 to 14, and he has since faced a rebellion from 62 of the BJP's 127 members of the state assembly against what Rajendrasinh Rana, the BJP's state president, calls his "autocratic type of functioning".

His problems stem in part not from alleged bigotry but from economic reformism. A powerful RSS-affiliated farmers' organisation has turned on him for raising electricity tariffs. In the past, Gujarat, like some other states, has courted bankruptcy by doling out free power.

Many observers in Gujarat think Mr Modi is on his way out--if not imminently, then later this year after state elections in neighbouring Maharashtra. He still, however, has loyalists. S.K. Modi (no relation), his authorised biographer, thinks the BJP lost not because of its perceived extremism but its moderation--a policy of "appeasement" of minorities such as Muslims--that has made it indistinguishable from the Congress party.

This, he says, has disillusioned party workers and undermined campaigning. Worse could follow: "The whole BJP will collapse if Narendra Modi goes." That is an exaggeration, no doubt. But it highlights the party's real dilemma, for it needs both the votes of moderates and the zeal of the extremists.
