After Balraj Madhok, Uma Bharti and Kalyan Singh comes the latest oustee from BJP – Jaswant Singh. The others were shown the door for berating the party leadership. The Darjeeling MP got the boot for criticising a long-dead Congress leader. Ironically, the court was presided over by Advani, who was the first to call Jinnah secular.
Singh antagonised the Advani camp for demanding a link between parinaam and puraskar indirectly hitting out at chief poll strategist Arun Jaitley's promotion as the leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha, succeeding Singh.
Singh not only escorted terrorists to Kandahar but also made unsubstantiated allegations in a book about a ‘mole’ in former PM Narasimha Rao’s office, not to mention providing an opium-laced drink to guests and distributing cash to voters. Thus, both Jaswant’s book and BJP’s action against him lack credibility.
