Apropos “With Yogi as CM, Muslims
Happiest” (Economic Times, March 21), though it might be just the perception of the leader of a
party which has reason to rejoice, the professional management of post-election
scenario by BJP leadership deserve appreciation. Trying out a non-corrupt young
outsider (Yogi is not an elected MLA) who is yet to be ‘tested’ for
his obedience to higher levels of power in party and government to head the
government of the largest state is in itself an experiment with several
unknowns.
The balancing act with two Deputy CMs
and a Muslim minister in the ministry should be seen in the right perspective.
BJP is trying to shape its image consistent with the growing popularity and
acceptability.
Earlier the other players in the
political arena readjust their looking glasses, the better for them as they
will get more time to prepare for the 2019 elections on real issues of
governance rather than using the religion against BJP. Other than Muslim
League, all political parties will naturally have majority Hindu membership in
India. Wiser counsel should prevail in non-BJP political parties to focus on the
neglect of the Preamble and Directive Principles of State Policy enshrined in
the Constitution by those who are in charge of governance rather than blindly
playing the communal card.
