Nitin Gadkari of Maharashtra has become the new BJP ( Bharatiya Janata Party) on Saturday, 19th December 2009, succeeding Rajnath Singh.
A day before, L K Advani resigned as leader of opposition in Loksabha ( Lower House) paving way for Sushma Swaraj to become leader of opposition. Most probably, this completes “Rule of Women” in India now. India has women as President, Speaker, Chairperson of ruling UPA ( United Progressive Alliance) and now leader of opposition.
Resigning by L K Advani may signal the end of Prime Ministerial ambition of Mr. L K Advani. Though L K Advani became chairman of party’s parliamentary party, but that post seems to be just a ceremonial post. One may judge that, era of L K Advani in BJP has ended.
RSS will have mor influence on BJP and it can be safely assumed that no major decisions in BJP would be taken without tacit RSS support. While this may be good for BJP in terms of poll prospect as RSS has many grass root supporters which had worked for BJP in the past, but not last two elections. Most probably, BJP leadership had identified that to be one of the reasons of two successive failure by BJP to capture power at the center.
Nitin Gadkari is known to be close to RSS leadership and he is from Nagpur, head quarter of RSS. He is the youngest BJP president at the age of 52. The BJP leader, who was till now the chief of Maharashtra BJP, proved his mettle as an effective minister in the Shiv Sena-BJP government in the state ten years back.
It will be interesting to observe, how BJP reacts to various affairs concerning India at global as well as domestic arena.
