Compromised everything for 5 cabinet berths in J&K: Ram Madhav

JAMMU, Apr 14: Cat is finally out of the bag. BJP national general secretary and former RSS "half-baked" and utterly confused ideologue Ram Madhav, who on behalf his high command negotiated the sinister militant-friendly, anti-Jammu, anti-Ladakh and pro-Pakistan "Agenda of Alliance"on Sunday finally acknowledged that the BJP had to put in hard efforts to enter into coalition with the PDP. Responding to questions at Indian Express "idea Exchange", the BJP general secretary, who is being denounced in Jammu and by almost all the minority communities and refugee organizations as "the villain", admitted that there was a moment when it appeared that the negotiations had virtually failed and that it was the high command that came to his rescue and help him surmount the main hitch: recognition of treacherous, barbarous and anti-India Hurriyat as "stakeholder". Madhav, who is ignorant about the concept of the state and on the state, considered it a great achievement. It must be condemned as an act of betrayal on his part and on part of his high command, which has been committing one blunder after another in the state and adding to the woes of its residents.
"The PDP and BJP each have four-five issues dear to them, and there were times we thought we could not move forward on them, but our senior leadership guided us well. The most difficult thing to overcome was the question of dealing with other groups like the Hurriyat etc in the valley, and we almost thought it would not happen. But then at the stroke of midnight, literally, we finally managed to find common ground," he was quoted as saying at the "Idea Exchange".
Significantly, the unconvincing and clueless Ram Madhav also admitted that the BJP kept aside its ideology for stitching an alliance so that it could break the jinx for forming the coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir for the first time. "There used to be a big jinx in Jammu and Kashmir that the BJP can never come into government there. There is a local understanding that we are a right-wing party that can never be in the government in Jammu and Kashmir. For this reason alone, the Congress used to get the advantage and become the representative of the people of Jammu. But now that jinx has broken," he said.
Ram Madhav also said that the days were not far off when the NC would also not mind forming a coalition government with the BJP in Jammu and Kashmir. "If we can have an alliance with the PDP, then tomorrow the NC (National Conference) may also not have a problem with having an alliance with the BJP. The BJP now has nine ministers, two posts we left for our alliance partners. We have a Speaker. For the first time in the state, we are also getting an opportunity to learn how the government functions," he said. He not only exposed himself and his party in the state and across the nation by candidly telling all that the main purpose of the BJP was to somehow become part of the government in Jammu and Kashmir but also admitted that it doesn't know how the government functions. What an irony!
However, it is true that those from the BJP became part of the government know nothing about governance, about the issues afflicting the state and about the state constitution. During the just-concluded budget session, they performed very poorly and became a laughing stock. The NC, the Congress and other Kashmiri parties and independent Kashmiri MLAs ridiculed them and repeatedly questioned their very competence and political acumen. In fact, it was the PDP law-makers and ministers who carried the day, thus exhibiting their superiority over the "incompetent" BJP, which consistently cut a sorry figure during the session.
It is very interesting to note that ever since the formation of the coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir on March 1, not a single BJP minister has made a single political statement of national importance either in the assembly or outside it. It is only the Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh who spoke on a couple of occasions only to praise the Chief Minister and tell the people of the state and the country as a whole that "he is a great visionary". Credit goes to the Chief Minister who has been able to make the BJP fall in line and help promote his political agenda.
