Advani is angry. His words of caution against the projection of Modi as the top leader of the party fell to the deaf ears. So he took the extreme of relinquishing all the three posts held by him in the BJP. Question is now being asked will he retreat or maintain strong stance of keeping away from the all the functions of the party. Lal Kishen Advani quitting the posts of the BJP did not come as a surprise. He had indicated that when he did not attend the meeting of the party meeting held in Panaji, Goa. He even projected Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister for the post of top post of the party. The charge that he made BJP has ceased to be an idealistic party is serious. He knows too much about BJP. From just two MPs in 1980 Lok Sabha election the party grew by leaps and bound and even leading the Government under the NDA. Now the party appears to be bruised. Therefore it is on the lookout for a new leadership to enthuse fresh blood with the solid aim on 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Leadership starved party fell its eye on Narendra Modi. His projection may create a fresh wave. Modi is cynosure of all eyes in the Hindi heartland. But the wave will be checkmated even by the allies of the NDA. Can BJP go it alone minus these allies and sweep the poll getting the magic figure of 270 plus. If it is confident of getting the magic figure required for formation of Government at the centre, there is nothing wrong with Modi’s projection as chairman of election committee. If it cannot it will suffer colossal loss. For not only allies it will lose support base of the party. Advani and co know that hence the warning against the hasty step of projection of Modi as top leader. The question is also being asked will Modi under pressure from the senior leaders of the party decide to remain confined to his state. If he does he will do a good service to keep the BJP morale high. But he is different from Sonia Gandhi. So he will not do that. Sonia Gandhi refused to be the Prime Minister of the country when the party led by her swept the poll continuously for two terms. There lies the greatness of the lady at the helms of affairs. A political party requires a great leader who can make sacrifice. But the fight within BJP is ominous. It may end like a faux pas.
