Of the 12 cases, Pradhan has been convicted in two murder cases and acquitted in seven others relating to arson and rioting. Three more cases are pending against him.
MODI’S BIGGEST political failure has been his inability to unburden himself of the ‘communal’ tag he acquired after the 2002 riots. The image of Hindu Hridaysamrat is a heady one and assiduously promoted by Modi’s fans on the internet. Unfortunately, this is an image that doesn’t correspond with the priorities of today’s electorate.
The Reddys publicly worship SS as their mother. Sushma Swaraj ignores their sins, ignores their unpopularity and gives them full support because perhaps she sees a day when brazen Reddy money can install a BJP government in Delhi as it did in Bangalore. No prices for guessing who will be the prime minister in such a government.
The Congress wants the Reddy's out of the Karnataka Cabinet as they are creating trouble for its Andhra government. The BJP Chief Minister is trying to edge them out. The Congress might be trying to destablise the BJP government, but the bad news for the Reddy's is that the country's two main parties are suddenly viewing them as common enemy.
The “challenge” to “nationalism” thrown up by Hindu extremists within the saffron fold — witness the arrest of Pragnya Singh Thakur and, more recently, ‘pracharak' Devendra Gupta — has become a major source of worry, as admitted by both RSS and BJP leaders.
A fast track court I at Phulbani, the district headquarters of Kandhamal, handed down the sentence to Pradhan and another accused, Prafulla Mallik, for the murder of Pariskhita Digal in Barpenga village Aug 25, 2008, defence lawyer Ajit Patnaik told IANS.
"Its good to be back in a familiar surrounding among familiar faces. I thank (senior party leader L.K.) Advani-ji who took the initiative and telephoned me to come over and meet him," Singh told media persons at the BJP headquarters here.
A day after the party reinstated Jaswant Singh, BJP leader L K Advani today took estranged colleague Uma Bharti in his special plane from Delhi to Chhattisgarh in a sign that she may be returning to party fold now.
The BJP is holding a first of its kind National Convention on Good Governance at the Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini’s Knowledge-Excellence Centre at Bhainder near Mumbai between June 5th and and 6th 2010.
If things turn out according to plan, Singh could be back before the party's national executive scheduled for June 12-13 in Patna and so could Bharti. Of the two, the prospects of Singh's homecoming are stronger with senior partyman L K Advani himself having initiated the process.
Indeed, when even seasoned BJP politicians are unable to define Hindutva beyond mouthing platitudes, and considering the party’s past association with a particularly rabid brand of denominational politics, discarding Hindutva as the party’s core ideology may well be the first step in a fundamental restructuring of its polity.
The party derives its political base from the social conservatism of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh but operates in a new India that has benefited from economic reforms and engagement with the world. One undercuts the other.
The battle for the BJP’s autonomy will continue in the weeks to come. So will the unending factional feuding in the party, though its contours would now change. It remains to be seen if there’s any let up in Bhagwat’s overt political interventions.
So where will the opposition to the Congress come from? It’s a thought that has haunted political observers since the general election in May.
The highlight of a BJP Parliamentary Party meeting last Tuesday was a full-throated attack on the RSS seeking to usurp the party’s right to elect its leader. “We are getting advice from outside as to who should be our leader. People are asking, with whom does the party’s ownership (swamitya) rest,” said Purnia MP Uday Singh.
