New Delhi: Arun Jaitley's apprehensions of BJP losing the next general elections because of internal sabotage (he used the word ‘hit wicket') was not a casual remark. It was a very timely remark that came from a person who is in the know of all the political machinations that are at work within BJP.
Recent political developments have proved that Arun Jaitley's worst fears may become a reality unless the top leadership takes corrective measures well within time.
BJP is facing a very strange dilemma.
As long as Atal-Advani era was prevalent, the party's cadres and top leaders spoke in perfect harmony.
After Vajpayee distanced himself from the day-to-day functioning of the BJP because of his poor health and Advani lost his charisma post his Jinnah-remark and subsequent defeat of the party in 2009 general elections, the leadership issue has become very divisive in the power circles of the BJP.
As on today, everybody agrees that it's Modi only who can provide the leadership to the party for challenging the Congress led UPA in 2014 elections.
