కమల సరోవరంపై మోదీ సూర్యుడు

Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Telangana BJP MPs on 10th of this month. When he came he spoke very angrily. The hearts of the MPs sank. Modi reprimanded each and every one of the MPs. In the 1984 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP won only two seats across the country. AK Patil was elected from Mehsana seat in Gujarat. Jangareddy won from Hanumakonda seat. On that day, Rajiv Gandhi called BJP "Hum Do, Hamare Do". What is the situation of BJP today in Gujarat and how is the situation in Telangana?', he asked. No one could say anything to his words. An MP said that Modi's insistence that 'Owaisi is better than you' is more insulting than anything else.

Why did Modi target Telangana MPs? Five days before Modi's class for MPs, party general secretary BL Santosh had come to Hyderabad. He severely reprimanded the leaders who were talking about the internal affairs of the party. Stay if you are. If you go, go,' he warned. It is reported that Modi lashed out after receiving the report from Santhosh.

Modi did not stop there. BRS MPs were called and talked to two days before the end of the Parliament sessions. It is not clear whether he called and talked or they tried to meet. A BRS MP said that if an appointment was sought by the ministers to talk about the Karimnagar and Warangal issues, Modi would immediately call him. Strangely, Modi inquired about KCR's health in this meeting. Modi told them that he had seen something on social media and knew that KCR had lost a lot of weight but was recovering. It is known that the Prime Minister commented that KCR's recovery is a very good development.

KCR unexpectedly came before the media three days after Modi spoke about KCR. He lashed out at the Congress in his original style for more than an hour and a half, rubbishing all the rumors about his health. With this, it seems that the BRS cadre, which has been stagnant for a long time, is very excited. It is not a question of what things he mentioned, whether they were all true. KCR's statement that he will boom again has become a topic of discussion. After the defeat of Jubilee Hills, hope has once again been raised for the party that was depressed.

BL Santosh going to Telangana, Modi criticizing his party MPs, calling BRS MPs and then KCR entering the arena... Is there any connection between these four events? Were there any developments behind the scenes before that?

However, one thing is clear: Modi is fully focused on Telangana. On the one hand, when the elections in West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry are to be held in the first half of next year, why is Modi concentrating on Telangana? While the Congress Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister are criticizing each other in neighboring Karnataka, what is the urgent need to leave that state and take care of Telangana? Modi will notice that Revanth Reddy is getting stronger day by day in Telangana and he is supporting the Congress leadership in every way. Modi is not happy with Telangana BJP leaders clashing with each other, trying to dominate local party president Ramchandra Rao etc. When Modi has information about KCR's health that many people don't know, will he not notice the developments in the Telangana Congress and the way Revanth Reddy is growing? But who can predict Modi's next move? Modi's aim seems to be somewhere but only he knows where it will hit. The Congress leadership in Delhi may not have such consequences but will Revanth Reddy be unpredicted?

One thing is clear behind all these developments. Not only in the central government, but also in the Bharatiya Janata Party, there is no doubt that Narendra Modi is the doer, the deed, the deed. He is everything. Modi is the president of the party and also the prime minister of the country. In BJP, the national president of the party usually manages the affairs of the party and discusses and strategizes with the key leaders in internal meetings of the party. As long as Hemahemis like Lal Krishna Advani, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Murali Manohar Joshi, Kusabhavu Thackeray, Jana Krishnamurthy, Venkaiah Naidu, Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari were party presidents, there was a kind of democratic political atmosphere in the BJP office. Venkaiah Naidu used to manage the party as a bridge between the party and the government. Many Union Ministers used to inform the party office about the decisions taken in their department. National presidents are the decision makers in the appointment of party state presidents. They used to create slogans like 'NDA agenda in one hand and BJP flag in the other'.

However, after the appointment of Jagat Prakash Nadda as the party's national president in 2020, full decision-making powers came into the hands of Modi and Amit Shah. Not only is it not in Nadda's hands who should be appointed as Chief Minister and President of the State, there are suspicions that at least he is being consulted. A state president who was doing well two years ago was suddenly removed. He came to Delhi and met the national president of the party. He asked the national president who was watching TV, 'Tell me why I was removed sir'. He was changing channels with the remote without turning his face. They asked me to be fired.. I was fired. That's it..' was the reply!

Similarly, the matter of appointing the party's state presidents and chief ministers has come to a situation where no one but Modi and Amit Shah know about it. Some BJP leaders do not know till the end that they are being appointed as Chief Ministers. A leader who was elected as the chief minister wondered if he had known in advance that my name would be decided in the legislative assembly meeting of the party. Among the 14 BJP Chief Ministers across the country, few are known at the national level.

The interesting thing is that 45-year-old Nitin Nabin, whom no one expected and who was unknown until now, has been appointed as the National Executive President. There are many senior and experienced leaders in the party. It is said that now Modi and Amit Shah will hand over the work to all of them through a junior leader. On 16th of this month, Nitin Nabeen was welcomed by Home Minister Amit Shah himself when he arrived to take charge of his new tenure as the working president of the party. Thus they sent a clear signal that everyone should accept the person they appointed. However, it is reported that one or two party general secretaries and some other leaders did not welcome the new president. It is known that some district presidents are also unhappy with this appointment. But what can they do?

After the resounding victory in the Bihar elections, it is clear that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is acting like he has no back. The appointment of the party's national president has been postponed for a year due to lack of consensus with the RSS. With the appointment of Nitin Nabeen, Modi has sent a clear signal that there is no need to consult anyone. In Uttar Pradesh, Union Minister Pankaj Chaudhary was appointed as the party's state president without consulting Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. It is reported that Adityanath is very unhappy about this. Somehow the Congress culture has entered the BJP. Even in the matter of bills in the Parliament, aggression is seen like never before. No matter how strongly the opposition parties are protesting, comprehensive special revision of voter lists (SIR) is being implemented vigorously in the states. There are whispers that many people will be sacked from the central cabinet soon. In the past, Advani promoted leaders like Arun Jaitley, Anantakumar, Venkaiah Naidu, Sushmaswaraj, Govindacharya and Uma Bharati in various states and brought them to the national level. Now there is no such second generation leader. The interesting thing is that in the BJP, the slurs are not visible like in other parties. No one talks as long as the leader is winning. And who can say what the developments will be in the new year?
