TRYSTS AND TURNS: The Oppn’s dark horse: Nitish Kumar holds the trump card, how he plays it will be the key: Updated At: Sep 16, 2022 06:00 AM (IST): https://www.tribuneindia.com/
I was at pains to impress on my interlocutor that I carry no brief for any party. It is crass injustice that troubles my conscience. Corruption is a serious charge to make against a servant of the people. Unfortunately, the charges are so frequent and common that people have stopped counting or bothering. And that is a pity.
Sisodia had the education portfolio. The hands-on job may have been entrusted to the Rhodes Scholar, Atishi Marlena, but the official face of the government is the minister in charge. Hence, the BJP’s need to attack Sisodia.
Education and health are the two bulwarks of a nation’s well-being and progress. Healthy and educated citizens make a difference when parameters of progress are defined and measured. These have been neglected by successive governments, both in the states and at the Centre. The AAP is the only party I know which has made significant progress in both spheres. Other state governments should emulate its achievements, instead of playing spoilsport.
What I gathered from the Centre’s hounding of Sisodia was that the regime was unhappy that the AAP had made an impression on the minds of the electorate, especially the poorer sections whose children were getting quality education. Instead of learning and spreading the good news to states ruled by its party, the regime decided to pooh-pooh AAP’s efforts and remove from the scene its main functionaries who enabled this change. That was the purpose of my article. I was not propagating AAP’s political philosophy.
Mamata is unpredictable. She can make inroads into Tripura, but even that would require Herculean effort. Chandrashekar Rao of Telangana does not seem to have made much headway even in the South.
To challenge Modi in 2024, Arvind Kejriwal is the first leader of a recognised opposition party to throw his hat into the ring. He has made his intentions clear in no uncertain terms. Mamata Didi seems to have seen the light of day. She has distanced herself by remaining neutral in the contest for Vice-President. She continues to rule West Bengal. I do not see her hold loosening despite the ED’s interest in her nephew and two important ministers in her Cabinet. Corruption and misuse of power do not seem to matter to the electorate. Charisma of the leader and the power of the spoken word matter more.
Rahul Gandhi has not shown any interest in pole positions. He is happy ranting and raving. He talks about the things that matter to the people he addresses. Price rise, the dying economy and unemployment are all causes for concern. He harps on these issues but when the final tally is taken, his lack of ambition plays spoilsport. The Congress has steadily ceded ground to the AAP, first in Delhi, and then in Punjab.
The only practical alternative is Kejriwal. But the individualistic tendencies he has displayed will not help his cause. That leaves the Opposition with the dark horse. Will all these overeager leaders unite under him? We wait and we watch.
Right now, Kejriwal is the front runner. Unless, of course, a dark horse appears on the scene, or Prashant Kishor pulls a rabbit out of his hat! Nitish Kumar could be that dark horse.
