Today, what L.K. Advani has said — that he is not confident that the Emergency cannot return — is not without reason.Let's start with the fact that there is absolutely no chance of the emergency being imposed again.
So why did Advani warn of it? He was trying to get attention. News mein aana tho unko. Ek saal se news mein nahin aaye the. Suna suna sa lag raha tha. And maybe he never made peace with the fact that Modi, not Advani, became Prime Minister. Which is weird. Advani as the BJP PM candidate would have likely seen a Third Front government, possibly under Mulayam, who would have promptly taken India down from the Manmohan Singh rate of growth to the old Hindu rate of growth.
I worry for Nitish. You can't not respect the people's mandate. The people of Bihar gave a clear mandate to Modi last year. That is why Modi is in power in Delhi. Minus Bihar that would not have been possible. And that mandate lasts five years. So Nitish should not be second guessing the people of Bihar.
If Nitish does not get to fight the 100 seats his party already has right now, and Laloo wakes up the old jhagada like there was before he "drank poison" and settled on Nitish as CM candidate, and if Narendra Modi decides to give two full weeks to Bihar right before the elections, Nitish is toast.
Kya Advani Advani kar rahe hain? Is he not the mastermind of the Babri Mosque demolition?
The Next Chief Minister Of Bihar?
