Ridiculous defence

Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh is the doting parent of the BJP. It has been reflected in the defence of BJP president Nitin Gadkari in the wake of the demand of his resignation from within after the media expose about the dubious funding of his company. The rebellion within the BJP over continuance of Nitin Gadkari as party president in the wake alleged dubious funding of his company was successfully quelled for now by RSS lieutenant Gurumurthy. RSS sent its think tank and so-called noted Chartered Accountant and financial analyst Gurumurthy to make a presentation of Nitin Gadkari company’s accounts before the BJP Core Committee to defend him in the wake of the demand of his resignation. He convinced the BJP that Nitin Gadkari’s records are clean and he has been politically implicated. BJP had to accept the order from Nagpur and gave clean chit to its party prersident Nidin Gadkari. BJP issued the joint statement of its leaders in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj and Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitely that gave clean chit to Nitin Gadkari and reposed faith in him. And if the RSS continued to support Nitin Gadkari in this fashion, Gadkari would certainly get second term no matter how much it would harm the. The Congress-led UPA government is facing the charges of corruption and the BJP had got an opportunity to win favour of the people by acting against its own president Nitin Gadkari and sending a message that the party is intolerable on the issue of corruption. It was also an opportunity for the BJP to take high moral ground and win people's favour. But it has frittered all opportunities and the way it has acted on the issue of corruption against its president amply reflects that it is in no way better than the Congress, though both are the two sides of the same coin. BJP says that because Gurumurthy gives Gadkari a clean chit, he is innocent. BJP also says that Nitin Gadkari is prepared to face any probe. First of all, is Gurumurthy has been appointed a commission of enquiry to look into irregularities committed by Nitin Gadkari? Who is Grumurthy to pass judgement. If the same parameter is adopted in regard to all charges of corruption against politicians of different political parties, all will get reprieve. Can it be possible that if he showed unprepared ness, there would be no probe against Gadkari? Is it possible that because he is not prepared, no case of corruption will be filed against him in the court of law? BJP must know that it does not matter whether the accused is prepared or not, he would have to face the judiciary trial and the probe instituted against him. Can there be more ridiculous defence of the political party's president when it happens to be the main opposition party of the nation? It means that BJP is no different from the Congress on the issue of corruption. Nitin Gadkari episode also reflects BJP has no control of its own political agenda and it is remote controlled by RSS.
