Uma Bharati’s Episode
The disarray, confusion, embarrassment and rough-and-tumble politics persisting in Bharathiya Janatha Party in the last 18 months after they got knocked out from power by people’s mandate is absurd and ludicrous. The recent happenings have pulverized the ostensible image of the party which is known for discipline and ideology.
The parliament election defeat shattered the BJP in a bigger way that they deviated from the role of playing the responsible opposition and they could not able to keep their internal affairs intact. BJP had the tough time to calm down the rough weather created by its president Mr.Advani about his secular statements in his Pakistan tour.
Ms.Uma Bharati has become a pain in the ass for the central leadership and a demon that is terrifying the old fellow’s sleeps. It is inscrutable to understand the politics involved in the exclusion and inclusion of Ms.Uma in the party in the last one year. The suspension of Ms.Uma from the party is only because of her unrestraint statements or is she victimized by the party leaders?
Though there is hypocrisy, betrayal and partiality involved in the suspension of Ms.Uma from the party, she deserves these kinds of punishments for attitude and behavior. BJP has utilized her cult image for the state election victory of Madhya Pradesh and thrown her to the dust bin once it attained the victory. She was omitted from the party after her fierce campaign and rhetoric’s in recent Bihar election.
Her firebrand hindutuva activities and aggressive participation in Ayothya movement have so far not come for her rescue. She is insisting that she is always standing for the ideals of the party, but her desire to occupy the chief minister seat, which she deserved, is always on her top list. She calls herself as Sanyasi, but her lust to be at the helm of power never sunk.
Her disgusting political stunts along with Ms.Sushma Swaraj in the wake of Ms.Sonia Gandhi becoming the Prime Minister of India to get the blessings of RSS got hammered after Soniaji showed her utter selflessness which is totally unknown to persons like Uma and Sushma. Her resignation from the Chief Minister ship after the summons from Karnataka court in Tiranga case and the yatra she launched after that clearly indicates that she digged her own grave.
Her suspension is on the disciplinary grounds; her questions of discipline against other leaders are looks tangible. She cited Advani offering to step down in the wake of the Jinnah controversy, Mahajan's critical article on Gujarat riots in 'BJP Today', Arun Jaitley fighting cases against Gujarat and Rajasthan Governments for "big fees" and Sushma Swaraj's charges against party leaders after her Government's defeat in Delhi as acts of "indiscipline".
Though the reason being obvious why Uma doesn’t seem to realize the problems she is facing in the party which Sushma’s, Jaitley’s and Mahajan’s are not. At least at this moment she should understand the true colour of BJP and leave her love towards hindutuva politics, Ayodya and Ram temple.

"...after Soniaji showed her utter selflessness..."
Are you serious ? Dont tell me you cant see through this so called selflessness !?
"Though the reason being obvious why Uma doesn’t seem to realize the problems she is facing in the party which Sushma’s, Jaitley’s and Mahajan’s are not."
Well, I dont get it. What IS the reason ? Could you pls explain ?
Eswar, i know you wont accept the reason..but the fact remains true that Uma is from Backward Community.
Tharani,with due respects to you I
feel most of your comments are made from the prism of caste. I honestly feel we have come a long way from that so its better not to play that card again and again.
Venkat,
I don’t know what makes you to feel that I am playing the caste cards. Even in Uma’s case I never supported here. I highlighted the role of class and caste in her case which is also the form of assaulting the caste. I criticized the BJP for that. You and me of course everyone have the same opinion of finding the medicine to eradicate the disease in the form of caste, but at the same time we should not leave the affected people by the same caste disease. My intentions are for that only, in the form of social justice. As you might have seen, I never used any individual caste names, insted i refer as oppressed or backward like that. My wish is to get social justice, not to revive the caste. Do you think voicing for the oppressed section is wrong?
Voicing for the oppressed is not wrong. But giving it a caste color, like you always do, seems a bit odd.
Looks like your caste/dalit mindset sees all in the same such color.
How come you forget that Uma was accepted into the BJP after her first tantrum and indiscipline.
And now she is crying like a baby. What was the BJP supposed to do...forgive her again and take her in ?
Eswar,
You are absolutely, completely and totally wrong in your opinion about me. It may be due to wrong interpretation or misunderstanding. I am the kind of person who actively (physically) involved in the movements (like rallies, conference etc) for the eradication of caste. Of course I am not able to do that when I am in Washington, but I do when I was in Chennai. I don’t know whether you know it or not, January 13 (a day before Pongal, called Boogi) is observed as the caste eradication day (saathi oozhipu dinam). As every one is burning the waste goods, we urge them to burn the caste also in early morning march in the streets of Chennai. Speaking for reservation or social justice should not be conceived as the support of caste structure.
Tharani..its good to know.
