he Winter Session of
India's Parliament ended last Friday.During the Session, both inside and outside the house,high octane political tussles broke,inflicting deep wounds among various political parties.The growing bitterness left many guessing about future course of things –stored for the
New year.
For Prime Minister
Narendra Modi tough agenda lies ahead after completion of Foreign trips to Russia
and Afghanistan as the political cauldron has turned red hot ,and no one is sparing any one to settle scores amid ever increasing political intolerance.
A blizzard of accusations
is hitting Finance minister Arun Jaitley for alleged irregularities in the
Delhi and District Cricket Association during his President ship of the organization
but he is unfazed and pursuing libel case against Delhi's Chief Minister
Arvind Kejriwal who is vociferous against the Central government.
Kejriwal stepped up his
opposition to Modi and sought his resignation for shielding Jaitely.it is for
the first time that any leader sought Modi's resignation since 2014 when he had
swept his party to power at the center with
a brute majority.
Kejriwal though is heading
a quasi state assembly is gaining grounds among political parties of various
hues like Trinamool Congress, Janata Dal ( United), RJD etc.though there is no
apparent chemistry between his Aam.Admi party and Congress, both of them
were part of the same dispensation which now rules The most challenging Hindi
heartland state of Bihar .
Former Test cap and BJP MP from Darbhanga Kirti Azad who has been suspended within hours
of the Parliament winter session ended,is up in arms and has sought Mr Modi’s
intervention in the DDCA affairs and his suspension.
BJP's senior leaders who
forms its Margdarshak Mandal, guiding committee, met at Murli Manohar Joshi’s
residence and they understood to have favoured indepth probe into the DDCA
affairs.But no official statement was issued as they had done soon after BJP’s
rout in Bihar assembly polls. The Meeting was attended by LK Advani, Shanta
Kumar,former Union Minister and Yashwant
Sinha, former finance minister.
The BJP has suspended
Kirti Azad from the primary membership of the party accusing him of causing disrepute
to party by colluding with opposition –Congress and AAP .Azad was vociferous in
his demands for probe in DDCA affairs during Jaitley’s tenure as President in
the association.,
Opposition has lapped up
the issue and has mounted pressure on the ruling dispensation for probe into
the cricket body and action against those responsible for irregularities.
Irked over developments including the way Mr Arvind Kejriwal spoke in the
special session of Delhi assembly last week, Mr Arun Jaitley has lambasted him
and Congress .
Mr Jaitely lashed out at
Congress for obstructing parliament session and AAP for “Lumpenisation of Public
discourse”. In his blog “stray thoughts after the Winter Session, Mr Jaitley
invoked Former Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru while castigating the Congress
for blocking Good and Service Tax (GST) bill and other legislations.
But in an important
development, Former Union Minister Sharad Paqwar who headed BCCI ( Board of Control for Cricket in India) said in Pune though DDCA was bedeviled by corruption, Mr Jaitley is incorruptible and
will never stoop so low.
Amid these developments,Tongues
wagged that The sports bill, which was prepared by then Congress Minister Ajay
Makan in 2011 was very relevant to bridle corruption ,but it was scuttled deliberately by vested interests.
The Political Scene is pregnant
with animosities and apprehensions are spiraling that these will multiply further in the wake of
Assembly polls coming in Five places - West Bengal ,Tamilnadu, Kerala,Assam and
UT Puducherry in the new year.
