Nitin Gadkari, BJP’s New President
Nitin Gadkari, Maharashtra BJP’s leader has been sworn in as BJP’s new President. The politician, right after ascending to the throne, has made open acknowledgements to RSS as one of BJP’s prime supporters. Gadkari, famous for maintaining a really low-profile thus becomes the youngest president for the party. Fearless as he asserts himself to be, the Maratha President echoes the importance of willpower to the credit of the individual: “When there is a strong political will, all problems can be solved,” he was heard saying.
Reminding us once again, the former PWD minister of Maharashtra talks about his previous feats such as the fact that he had built the Mumbai-Pune Expressway in just two years and at a cost of Rs2,000 crore when more expenses is expected in projects such as these in other states. He informed the media that he always is willing to vouchsafe for politics as the most important factor in developing social and economic conditions of the country. Thus he said, ” I don’t work as if I am making a political career. I work for the poor and downtrodden sections of society who don’t have food to eat, house to live in or clothes to wear. I strive to bring about a transformation in their lives.”
BJP has been long since missing a real thrust at the fore front ever since Atal Bihari Vajpayee stepped down as the Leader of Opposition. As we have been seeing for quite a few years, BJP, despite repeated efforts, has not been able to resurface after the parliamentary overthrow by UPA government. When the furore over Yashwant Singh’s controversial book regarding the role played by Nehru and Jinnah in partition took place, people looked up to BJP Leader L.K. Advani to pacify the agigated followers of BJP but only the man in question could tell his self-imposed isolation from the issue. Right now, the party is in a bad state, thanks to Liberhann’s report on the demolition of Babri Masjid where he points to former Prime Minister, BJP’s Atal Bihari Vajpayee as being instrumental in the riots that burnt the country down back in December 6, 1992.
How far these shifts in the party work up to the party’s advantage will be seen in near future.
