For the BJP the resounding defeat in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala has come a cropper. The divisive politics of the saffron brigade has been exposed. These results usher a ray of hope against the current authoritarian and tyrannical regime which has torn to pieces the fundamental principles of our sacred Indian constitution.
The manner in which we have sadly been witnessing the Independence of the Election Commission absolutely compromised is very disturbing and a matter of great concern. The skewed move last month in considering the name of Sunil Arora as the Governor of Goa just days after his retirement as Chief Election Commissioner was in utter bad taste and utterly inappropriate.
Over the last few years our nation has been ebbing away from democracy and those cherished values. We need to now toil unitedly for the restoration of institutions whose autonomy has been high-handedly breached.
The basic fundamental principles of our nation being a secular democratic Republic must be protected and preserved at all cost. Our country's secular fabric cannot continue to remain ruptured. Unity in Diversity must always remain our strength and pilar of hope.
Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar and his team had burnt the midnight oil to draft that great Indian Constitution to keep our country secular and democratic for posterity. They must never have visualized that thick skinned persons without integrity would ever be occupying seats of Power.
Cal Thomas the popular American political commentator once observed "One of the reasons people hate politics is that truth is rarely a politician's objective, election and power are".
The BJP should take heed of the relevant famous quote of the late US President Abraham Lincoln 'You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time'
