All this glib talk about being an inclusive party and doing the right thing to people of all religious denominations is nothing more than a smoke screen sprung up to gather a few more crucial votes in the forthcoming general elections.......
At heart however, the Bharatiya Janata party continues to remain as exclusive, communal, divisive and subversive as it has always been as recent events that unfolded at a public rally in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut district conclusively proved once again......
Many a television channel and their numerous print media counterparts were eyewitnesses to the unsavoury episode of the party's state unit president roundly abusing and admonishing party members belonging to the minority community on the dais during the course of a public rally held in the above mentioned city on Wednesday........
Their crime???? the fact that they mustered the courage to answer the muezzin's call and offer their prayers (namaaz) while on the dais and in full public glaze.......
This pious and divine gesture however drew the considerable ire of the state unit's party president as he was of the informed (?????) opinion that the seemingly mindless (???????) antics of a few might end up costing them the votes of their traditional voters who might be offended by the gestures of the members belonging to the minority community.......
As expected, the rather sorry and unintentionally hilarious spectacle of the state unit party president frothing at the mouth and going purple behind his elephantine ears has drawn the considerable ire of denizens of the minority community and given the party's political opponents a golden opportunity to chastise and ridicule the supposed "party with a difference"???????
A few moments of insanity can cost you dear and these few moments of banality have certainly cost the party dear what with the Dar Ul Uloom threatening to issue directions to the minority community pertaining to boycotting all forthcoming Bharatiya Janata Party political rallies and also asking Uttar Pradesh's sizeable Muslim community to cast their invaluable votes in favour of a seemingly secular party more favourably inclined towards it......
Definitely not the auspicious and sagacious start to the nationwide start of it's "Mission 272" campaign expressly designed to woo the minorities and other traditional non BJP voters that the so called "party with a difference" was looking for........
As a supposed wit quipped "the mukhauta has slipped off and the asli chehraa of Messrs Amit Shah and prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is out there for all to see"..........
What was that about a leopard not being able to change it's spots despite yeoman efforts made in this regard........
