What will a NIA task force do saar ? Even the local police chowki maintains a up-to-date database of trouble makers including jihadis but the police are either incapable or restricted from acting against the shantidoot community.vijayk wrote:they should create a NIA task force to investigate criminal jihadi terror all across India and their enablers (INC/TMC/CPM/AAP)Ambar wrote:Ah ! So MLA Renukacharya threatens to quit the party now ! Guess he was sleeping all this while when other RSS/Bajrang Dal workers were routinely being harassed by Police and killed by jihadis. Now that the anger is boiling out of streets and party workers want to physically throw out the BJP MPs and MLAs, he fears about his seat and wants to quit the party !
BJP's fall needs a deeper analysis. With INC weakened and BJP wandering around haplessly confused, the country is headed towards political uncertainty the likes of which we have not seen since late 70s. What followed the 70s were tumultuous 80s and 90s with high unemployment, anemic economic growth, large riots, protests, terrorism, separatist movements everywhere, political chaos and some 8 prime ministers , its a miracle the country remained in one piece.
BJP at the local level (read MLA,MLC, corporator, panchayat president etc) are no different than Congress or NCP or RJD or any other party. And i don't expect them to be different when many of them have jumped parties just to remain in power. So it is preposterous to suggest counter-jihadism should be a state level matter when we know the caliber of our average neta. This is why BJP's messaging (so called pro-hindutva, pro-national security) must come from top-down. If a BJP corporator or MLA can contest election on the poster of NaMo, what stops the PM and HM from cracking the whip on incompetent state chief ministers and state cabinet ministers ? It baffles me how IPS officers even in BJP run states don't give a damn about the elected members of the government, it is almost as if they know these guys have no idea how to use their power and are in office only temporarily.
Keeping the BJP High Command aside, party has let complacency and lethargy set in. After all when everyone goes out to seek votes in name of NaMo who needs strong leaders at the state level ? We see this MP where there is no alternative to Shivraj Singh, we see this in Gujarat where the party had 3 CMs in 6 yrs, we see this in Rajasthan where there is no heir to Vasundhara Raje, in Chattisgarh with no leader after Raman Singh and in Haryana where there is no leader at all. This almost feels like Congress after the death of Rajiv but in Congress' case they had a lot of seasoned leaders on the bench and they could rule directly and indirectly for another 3 terms between 1990 and 2014. Unless the party can identify strong leaders, and strong replacements to those leaders in every major state, it will be looking at a bleak future once Modi calls it a day .
After having witnessed the incompetence of Amit Shah and Doval for several years now, i fully agree with some who during NaMo's first term said the reason we are not witnessing any major terror incidents is not because our security services have suddenly become competent but it is because Pakistan realizes that bomb blasts don't get the results anymore, it is much more efficient to organize riots and do drive-by killings for the shock factor.
If things are this bad in mid-2022, i shudder to imagine what 2023 has in store for us when we approach assembly elections in 6 states followed by the general elections.
