L K Advani Mao’s Moment: Bombarded the headquarters & BJP Atal Problem.
Mao’s cultural revolution from 1966 to 1976 (it
officially ended in 1969 by Mao) have two major victims politically, Liu
Shaoqi & Deng Xiaoping, while the
earlier died in a very sad state, the former somehow managed to lead the
china on its Socialist market economy policy along with other eminent
leaders commonly known as Eight leaders.
Mao survived the biggest threat to his political authority and ideology by
cleansing the Bourgeoisie , a French term for a wealthy middle class.

In late 1990 when Advani completes his Rath Yatra on 30th Oct he was the tallest Hindu leader in the country and more popular than ABV, who later becomes NDA PM. He was the authority and sole leader on whom Hindutava agenda and the BJP can bank upon, it has actually resulted yields and BJP become the second largest party after the congress, BJP did well in the 1996 election that it was asked to form a govt and from the popular choice within party Advani sidelined himself to give way for more moderate leader ABV. Advani missed that chance which he may regret till now, ABV was a face of NDA, but darling of hinduatva agenda had been always Loha Purush LK Advani. India was posing as a big economic change in its character and many young minds got attracted towards BJP due to ABV times, but still the cause of Hinduatva was on LK shoulders. ABV was shown as a moderate leader among all section even more when he refuses to nudge before VHP Shialnyas program in ’01. Advani till then was the sole torch bearer of Hinduavta, then come Feb, 02, post Godhra Advani got a companion to ‘Hindu Hridya Samrat’ chair. But by 2004 He realizes that his hard image is hurting his long due ambition to become PM, When NDA lost LK did a total U-turn and start a cultural revolution, a kind of change in BJP. Praised Jinnah on his visit to Pak did not go well with either party or RSS, he was sidelined. Then comes the MMS v's LK moment, Advani was confident he will make to the top post and even go beyond to the extent of making an election in presidential style. He lost that and ever since become a lumber to its very own party which he built in years.
Post ’09 election, Advani is
getting high to do a cleansing or face of the mask of BJP from its core
character of right-center to more moderate face which than acceptable for
allies and media. The same media who haunted him for years for Ayodhya &
Babri is projecting him the face of moderate party leader, even MSY is praising
him. Till now it’s all good for cultural shifting L K Advani. The only problem two
of its top state leader one builds by masses of social media representation and
symbol of economic growth, and another bid by ground mass appeal and organization
skills. Both were bombarded by the central leadership to keep the bastion
intact for the party, both out-performed the expectation of party leadership in
their respective states and become the symbol of economic liberalization growth
and agriculture growth/social development in their respective states.
Advani is exactly did a Mao
moment on Saturday in Gwalior in front of packed 20k party workers when
praising Shivraj for making a progress in Bimaru Raaj and going further to
compare it with progress made in already prosperous Gujarat. Advani is putting
his own vision& culture to party and creating obstacles for the coming
general election. Advani urge for PM post is so high clearly by bombarding the
headquarter by his blogs/speeches and may do so in the running of the 2014
election. As a patron to the party he can synergies the energy of two most
powerful leaders to strengthen the party prospect in coming assembly and
general election, instead he is creating a rift b/w two and diluted the case
for both. If Advani culture movement succeeds it will be an immediate political
murder for Modi, while Shivraj can survive now, but he may never reach to top
level in the future after Advani exit.
Advani equates Shivraj As Atal Ji,
it's high time BJP thinks beyond ABV syndrome and stop comparing any leader
with him. Let them create their own identity and let ABV rest in the peace of
his political retirement.
Immediately After the death of
Mao, gang of four arrested and China later moves on to the more economic
liberal policy. This is 2013 and the nation wants strong leadership &
economic intensification towards the 2020 vision of India. It is time for BJP
to survive this cultural revolution of ultra-moderate and not undermine energy
of its two powerful state leaders it can lead the nation in the right
direction, not the left one.
At Last on Advani recent comments
of two states growth I conclude by quoting Mark Twain
“Get your facts first, and
then you can distort them as much as you please”
