Who has better chances to prosper in BJP?

The Bharatiya Janata Party invariably promotes those with proven record of trolling, abuses and even physical violence, says the National Herald daily while commenting on Union Minister of State for parliamentary affairs and water resources Arjun Ram Meghwal last week explaining increasing cases of lynching with the contention that "more Modiji becomes popular, such incidents will keep occuring."

Meghwal, the 64-year old second term MP from Bikaner in Rajasthan, is a former IAS officer and well-educated with MA (political science) LLB and MBA degrees. He can be seen always donning the Rajasthani turban. The Congress leaders say one can understand the mental status of the BJP workers down the line when a person with the background of Meghwal justifies the lynching.

They are only further inspired when they see that not a single word escaped from the lips of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the marauding lynch mobs during his marathon 90-minute reply to the debate in the Lok Sabha on the no-confidence motion that was defeated with two-third majority.

While, every time the Opposition tried to prompt the PM to say something on lynchings, they were greeted by howls of protest from the treasury benches to drown the demand.The debate was taking place barely a day after ABVP boys barged into St Andrews College in Gorakhpur and assaulted the principal and staff. A day earlier, volunteers of Bharatiya Janata Yuva morcha (BYJM) attacked 80-year-old Swami Agnivesh in Jharkhand's Pakur, pushed him to the ground, kicked and pounded him and tore his turban and saffron robe for allegedly being critical of the Prime Minister and the BJP.

The Congress MPs say with each passing day, such a 'Modi's mob' is becoming more brazen. They no longer make any effort to hide their identity. With the Prime Minister himself following trolls, allowing himself to be photographed with them and by his continued silence, he appears to have encouraged them to take law into their hands, they said.

Every time the BJP and its stormtroopers are accused of lynching and rioting, its leaders raise the anti-Sikh riots of 1984.

The BJP leaders won't note that both Sonia Gandhi and Dr Manmohan Singh had been to the Golden Temple in Amritsar and apologised for the riots for which they were not even personally responsible, just because the blame was put on the Congress.
