| Uttarakhand-Cong a victim, BJP an oppressor | | | By; Mahadeep Singh Jamwal
The unpleasant atmosphere created by BJP in Uttarakhand reminds us of the quote by 'Grouch Marx', an American comedian and film star, that 'Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies'. The intentions of BJP government to rule whole India without adhering to the constitutionally established process of election stands badly shattered in Uttarakhand, where it slapped President's Rule thereby committing murder of the democracy, but Apex Court revived the democratic fragrance in the state. The uncalled for developments in Uttarakhand, which erupted on 18 March 2016, with the imposition of President Rule on 27 March, without any report or recommendations from the Governor of the state regarding any constitutional break down of the system of things, which is mandatory, ultimately concluded with the installation of Harish Rawat as Chief Minister by winning a trust vote after intervention by the Apex Court of the country. The row in the Uttarakhand is although over, but it has given an occasion to comment upon the nefarious designs of BJP government at the Centre. The BJP has given a new classification of Center-State relations. It remained a hot topic, till winning of vote of confidence, that in Uttarakhand, NDA government unlawfully misused the constitutional provision to dethrone the democratically elected government. The BJP think tanks failed to understand the sanctity behind the words of Dr. BR Ambedkar that "For a successful revolution, it is not enough that there is discontent. What is required is a profound and thorough conviction of the justice, necessity and importance of political and social rights", where as considerations were thrown to dustbin and eagerness to grab power in Uttarakhand doctored by BJP, by instigating nine MLAs of Rawat Government to revolt and to vote in favour of BJP to get its government installed, failed due to somewhere mistake in imposing President Rule.
In order to understand the bad intentions of BJP, one has to revisit the pre-election era of rallies and public addresses by BJP leaders, especially by then PM candidate Mr Modi. In every election rally, it was very loudly aired that BJP will make India a 'Congress Free Bharat'. By exploiting the people emotionally with lucrative commitments, the BJP came to power, but people very soon realized their folly, for falling to the trap of charismatic orator Modi when party president Amit Shah during Bihar elections termed the promise of Modi, about 15 lakhs in individuals account as 'Election Jumla' and u-turn on so many other promises. The BJP expecting a thumping majority in Delhi by-elections by utilizing all his resources both money and men failed to register its presence in Delhi Assembly by double digit and and subsequently crushing defeat in Bihar. These two defeats immediately after a thumping victory in Lok Sabha, frustrated the over ambitious BJP and to obtain power in J&K, it stitched an alliance with PDP against whom it had fielded its candidates all over the state, against its big slogans of not tolerating 'Baap Bete aur Baap Beti ki sarkar'. In Uttarakhand BJP decided to leverage the dissent within the congress against Mr. Rawat, as a stepping stone to trying to form government in the hill state resulting revolt against the Chief Minister by nine MLA's of ruling party. Even as BJP imposed President's rule in Uttarakhand, the developments that followed totally exposed the true face of BJP government, which otherwise has been promising to give a corruption-free and people- friendly government and emphasising the need of better Center-State relations for good governance and development. Modi had stated on the Floor of Lok Sabha on 27th November 2015 that 'India First' was the only religion and Constitution, the only 'holy book' for his government which is committed to working for all. Ruling side does not believe in forcing decisions through majority, but believes in working through consensus. 'The country will be run by the Constitution and it should be run only by the constitution, India has fundamentally grown on this ideology". So if something unconstitutional is done by the central government, it is a matter of shame.
BJP is further exposed by its own MLAs and leaders in Uttrakhand, as after winning test by Harish Rawat, BJP leaders in Uttarakhand have come openly to condemn the executor of destabilizing the democratically elected government. "We could have dealt with Rawat in our own way, but the recent developments have muddied the waters. The Congress looks like a victim and BJP a villain. Vijayvargiya's adventurism has made things more difficult for us in the next year's assembly election," a BJP MLA said. "He was in constant touch with Congress rebels and privy to every move that Amit Shah was taking in the hill state", a BJP leader said. The 'operation' was a secret. So much so that even local veterans - including former CMs - were clueless about it. The revelations of a party insider as reported by a newspaper that Congress rebels received a cold response from the BJP leadership about a year ago, when they sought help to unseat Harish Rawat. But recently the emergence of Vijayvargiya at Dehradun, Amit Shah's emissary changed the scene. The BJP turned warm to Rawat's detractors. Vijayvargiya has been calling the shots in Uttarakhand over the last two months and former CM Bhagat Singh Koshyari, local stalwart Sat pal Maharaj and others were following the dictates of Vijayvargiya. Had the issue not entered legal dispute, the BJP could have succeeded in destabilising the politically elected government.
The blow of Uttarakhand has given a lot to BJP to take it into their house for retrospection and to learn a deep lesson to shed its policies of destabilizing the democratically elected governments for its political gainRahul Gandhi took the lead and commented that PM should learn a lesson. Well said by 'George Orwell', an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic that "In our age there is no such thing as keeping out of politics. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia."
Arun Jaitley, a Supreme Court lawyer first, then defeated MP and lastly Finance Minister of the country, on 12 May commented that the judiciary was encroaching upon legislative and executive authority "step by step, brick by brick", the edifice of India's Legislature is being destroyed. The remarks came on a day when the Supreme Court reinstated Harish Rawat as the chief minister of Uttarakhand, following the Congress victory. The problem of these leaders can well be understood by the words of 'George Orwell', that "Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it". |
