All the political parties are alike!


We have been witnessing that the present session of parliament is getting disrupted continuously. Since Modi came to power 14 months ago none of the other parliament sessions have been this disruptive. Thsi is happening due to two very important reasons.---one, the top BJP leaders are in web of damaging controversies which really hurt its image a cross the nation and the second being the congress, the main opposition putting far more focussed resistance against the ruling dispensation as Rahul must be seeking to appear in a new avatar which was different from his earlier image as a reluctant leader.
As every one would agree that disruption of parliament would cost the nation dearly but the congress seems to have  taken a leaf out of BJP's experience as an opposition party at national level. They set different rules on how not to allow the houses to function. We have even seen Mrs Sushma Swaraj as leader of the opposition saying, "not allowing parliament to function is also a form of democracy" while her counter part in Rajyasabha Arun Jaitley said, " by disrupting the house we have sent a message to the country". It seems the needle of the clock has now taken a full circle and now it is turn of the congress to turn the tables against the ruling dispensation.

As we all know that it was BJP which had promised a clean Govt and now it left to the wisdom of the people to draw inference regarding the  stand takenby BJP with regards to Sushma, Raje and Chowhan. Any sane man would know the disruption works better for the opposition rather than the Govt.The louder the noise the the better it is for the opposition parties. Unfotunately commotion and confusion in parliament seem to get better media mileage as both VYAPAM Scam and Lalit Gate have put BJP on the back foot.
The matters have become worse, when BJP revealed that no Minister or party functionary of any level is going to resign while we all remember what Union Minister for Home said that it is NDA and not UPA.
The fact of the matter is that the last budget session was one of the most productive sessions in the recent years but with the economy not out of doldrums yet, the NDA needs to demonstrate that it can keep the reforms momentum going.Two critical bills GST and Land Acqisition are on the anvil. However since BJP routinely resorted to obstructive tactics during UPA -2 and now that VYAPAM and Lalit Gate scandals have broken, it is but natural for the Congress to play the same coin. More over with Bihar assembly elections fast approaching the opposition parties would certainly attempt to milk the Govt's embarrassments.
BJP must be formulating strategies but unless the opposition also play a ball it would be difficult to conduct any sort of meaningful buisuiness in both houses. The strategy that they have adopted is to counter attack the opposition. Swaraj while making the statement said that one congress MP exerted pressure on her to issusue a passport to Santosh Bagrodia and we have also seen how Harish Rawat. Virbhadra Singh and Digambar Kamat's have been brought in. With this,will BJP would be obsolved ?

On perusal of all the relavent issues one thing seems to be sure,is it not unfortunate to see the ruling BJP trying to protect its top leaders who are now in eye of the storm? And is it not disgraceful that the tainted top brass are being safeguarded instead of being made to face enquiries? Therefore it is construed that all the political parties are of the same coin and BJP is neither above the board nor any exception as has been claimed by Modiji.
