Early Times Report

Jammu, July 10: The defeated Congress and similar other parties and formations have unleashed a no-holds-barred campaign against the BJP. They have been attacking Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhra Raje, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh, MP Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Pankja Munde, a minister in the BJP-Shiv Sena coalition government in Maharashtra. Charges against them range from helping fugitive Lalit Modi to entering into dubious financial deals with him to involvement in corrupt practices. The Congress and similar other outfits have been demanding resignation of all these BJP ministers and Chief Ministers. However, right now the focus of the media and anti-BJP parties is on Madhya Pradesh and its Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Governor Ram Naresh Yadav. During the past 20 months or so, MP has witnessed 45 deaths of young people. Most of these deaths took place in mysterious circumstances and all those who died were connected directly or indirectly with the Vyapam scam - using foul methods while recruiting persons in various departments and admitting students to professional institutions like medical and engineering colleges. All these deaths took place during the regime of the incumbent Chief Minister. The Congress and other non-BJP parties have not only been demanding resignation of Shivraj Singh Chouhan but also of Governor Ram Naresh Yadav saying the Raj Bhawan, like the office of Chief Minister Chouhan, had also become a den of corruption. Significantly, the bulk of the media, both print and electronic, has also joined the crusade against corruption in a big way, thus adding to the woes of the already under severe attack BJP-led NDA Government at the Centre and the MP Governor and MP Chief Minister. The BJP has not been able to withstand the attacks of the Congress and the media. It has gone just clueless. Interestingly, however, the media, like the Congress and other non-BJP parties, has been questioning the intentions behind the retention of the UPA-appointee Governor Ram Naresh Yadav. They have been charging the Union Government and Chief Minister Chouhan with shielding Ram Naresh Yadav. "The Modi Government removed all the UPA-appointedGovernors, barring Ram Naresh Yadav, and replaced them with its own men. The intentions of the BJP are not novel; the intentions are dubious. The BJP is using Ram Naresh Yadav as a shield," they have been saying. It is true that Ram Naresh Yadav was appointed by the UPA Government. But it's also true that NN Vohra was also appointed by the UPA Government in the last week of June 2008 and at a time when the people of Jammu region were up in Arms against the Ghulam Nabi Azad-led coalition Government and the issue that had provoked protests in Jammu on an unprecedented scale was the decision of the Congress-led government in the state to go against the High Court orders and snatch the transferred piece of land from the Amarnath Shrine Board. The BJP and the Sangh Parivar was in the forefront as far as the agitation against the coalition government was concerned. Not only this, it was also one of their demands that NN Vohra be removed from the office of Governor. Their charge against him was that he had told the state government that the Shrine Board didn't need that piece of land in Baltal, Kashmir, and that he only sided with the communalists in Kashmir by telling the state government what he told. The BJP had held then several press conferences demanding recall of NN Vohra. NN Vohra continues to hold that position. The Modi Government has not touched him. The point is that the Congress is only talking about Ram Naresh Yadav and not about NN Vohra also. It appears it is feigning ignorance deliberately.
