Has India's BJP lost the plot?
DABWALI 2SEPT,2009
Many say the party leadership needs young blood
In the past week India's main opposition Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been wracked by infighting and a crisis of leadership. Analyst Mahesh Rangarajan explains why this may be the worst crisis facing the party.
Even seasoned observers of the Indian political scene have been caught unawares by the speed with which the crisis in India's main opposition party is unravelling.
Ever since its second successive defeat in the general elections of May 2009, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has embarked on a phase of transition, most notably by introducing younger leaders into key posts in parliament.
But much of this work has come undone.
Caught in this struggle of head and heart, the BJP's leadership has been wavering
Your views on this article
The party has expelled from its ranks one of its founder members, Jaswant Singh, who had held the key portfolios of finance, foreign affairs and defence. His book on Pakistan's founder Mohammed Ali Jinnah has also been banned by the state government in the party stronghold of Gujarat.
Even as the party wrestles with issues of identity and ideology, it seems in more disarray than ever in its nearly three decades of existence.
Mass support
Founded in the summer of 1980 in the western city of Mumbai (then Bombay), it was led by Atal Behari Vajpayee who espoused a centrist strategy to act as a foil to the ruling Congress.
The party's campaign to build a temple at Ayodhya generated mass support
Once this strategy failed, it gave way six years later to a mood of militant Hindutva, or Hindu-ness.
This was embodied best by his close associate LK Advani's campaign to build a temple at a disputed site in Ayodhya, which generated mass support.
But the destruction of the disputed mosque at the site in 1992 led to nationwide rioting and the party veered once again to the middle ground.
This paved the way for Vajpayee-led governments.
The party itself has walked a fine line between posing as an alternate pole of power and being a militant party defined by an ideological core that stresses the Hindu-ness of India.
The latter has always been problematic in a country with a sizeable population of other faiths including Muslims, Christians and Sikhs.
It eventually contributed to deep divisions between the party and its regional allies, especially after the massacres of Muslims in Gujarat in February 2002.
The general elections earlier this year saw the party lose for a second time in a row.
Faced with a Congress-led alliance that emphasised welfare for the poor and safety for religious minorities, the BJP came across as out of touch with the times.
But what undercut the BJP was the eclipse of Atal Behari Vajpayee.
His successor, LK Advani, was unable to counter Congress charges of having been party to a prisoners-for-hostages deal in December 1999 to secure the release of passengers on a hijacked Air India flight that was taken to Taliban-controlled Kandahar.
The eclipse of Atal Behari Vajpayee has hit the party
Meanwhile, in his own party, the octogenarian leader never recovered from his praise for Mr Jinnah on a visit to that country in 2005.
Soft on terror, he was also seen as warming up to a historic figure his own followers blame for the partition of 1947.
In a sense, the party and the wider cultural movement it is part of are in a crisis of their own making.
In a country where seven of 10 people are below the age of 40, it is the future and not the past that is a pressing concern.
Out of touch
Already in 2004, it lost as many as 17 of the 20 parliamentary seats in the big metropolitan centres, a sure sign that it has lost its sense of the popular pulse.
Further, a clutch of hitherto lower-caste groups has come to power in much of northern India, undercutting the religious appeal of the BJP.
Where the party has retained power in west and central India, it has done so with a mix of welfare and populist measures aimed at farmers, women and the poor.
At the pan-Indian level, its "India Shining" campaign message of five years ago failed to entice voters.
In a country where one in two children is malnourished it reinforced its older image as a party of traders, priestly and the merchant classes.
Mr Advani's party is also out of touch with the wider shifts in the mood in the region at large.
Religious symbols and icons continue to matter in politics but they have a jaded air about them.
Religious polarisation last worked wonders for the party as long ago as the Gujarat state elections of 2002.
A book on Mohammed Ali Jinnah led to the expulsion of a senior member
Last winter even the terror strike on Mumbai known in popular parlance as 26/11 did not polarise voters.
The leading religious trusts of Muslims in Mumbai refused to accept the bodies of terrorists for burial on grounds that they had violated the tenets of Islam.
If religion has less appeal in the political arena, so does the BJP's claim of being "a party with a difference".
It has no leader who can challenge Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's economic credentials.
On another front, it seriously underestimated the resilience of the Nehru family, who with Rahul Gandhi as future leader make the middle-aged opposition leaders look out of synch.
Dilemma
There is still room for the party to regroup; given the immensity of the challenges the Congress-led alliance faces in governing India.
A drought due to the failure of the monsoon affects about half the country. Prices of key food items are rising. The rapprochement with Pakistan attempted by Prime Minister Singh has not won full endorsement even in his own party ranks.
There is also a long history in the sub-continent of leaders rallying people around symbols that unify adherents of one faith and set them up against another.
The party is plagued by infighting
The BJP's dilemma is that if it takes up the baton on Hindutva, it will alienate not only potential regional allies but a vast middle ground that has had enough of strife.
But the rank and file of the party and its affiliates is most at ease with such emotive issues. Caught in this struggle between head and heart, its leadership has been wavering ever since 2004.
Unlike Mr Vajpayee who was a master of saying little and being many things to many men, his successors are caught in webs of their own making.
The BJP is facing more than a crisis of leadership. It is facing a crisis of direction.

India Moon mission is 'mixed success'
DABWALI 2,SEP,2009
The mission's objective was to map the resources of the Moon
India has abandoned its inaugural Moon mission, 10 months after it was launched. Science writer Pallava Bagla examines the mission's performance.
So was India's inaugural Chandrayaan-1 Moon mission a success or a failure?
Neither. By all accounts, it has been a mixed performance. Also, a definitive answer is not easy to give - it is possibly as grey as the surface of the Moon.
This was an expensive scientific experiment with many objectives and conducted in full public glare.
Most engineering goals have been fulfilled, but pious promises to deliver "good science" from the mission are still to be met.
Big achievement
India launched its $100m unmanned spacecraft on 22 October 2008 from Sriharikota on the coast of the Bay of Bengal.
First, the spacecraft designed and built by the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) survived huge odds and successfully reached the Moon's orbit.
This in itself was a big achievement since neither Russia nor America succeeded in their maiden attempts; and there were several failures even before they got anywhere near the Moon.
So did India ride on the shoulders of earlier successes?
Certainly not, since the know-how and technologies to go to the Moon are just not available for the asking. Each nation has to learn on its own. India experimented and did that with complete success.
The only other country to have managed a similar maiden feat was China - its mission Chang'e-1 in 2007 lasted 16 months in space, according to the Chinese National Space Administration.
The Indian mission survived for about 10 months in space; most other missions to the Moon have been much more short-lived.
So did the Indian space agency, in its naivety, over-stretch and over-estimate the craft's life when it planned for a 24-month mission?
The mission lasted 10 months in space
Possibly. The answer may emerge in the findings of the "failure analysis committee" that Isro has put in place after this debacle.
Despite being dubbed by Isro as an "engineering success", the mission had a rough ride around the Moon.
A fuel leak from the rocket almost aborted its lift-off. Within days of reaching the Moon, a power system failed, and a back-up system had to be activated.
Soon, the spacecraft started overheating due to the intense heat on the Moon. Isro scientists say it was deft mission management that saved it from a total burnout.
A few months into the mission the spacecraft lost its fine guidance system when the onboard "star sensor" packed up in the intense radiation around the Moon.
But, every time an instrument on this 1,380kg robot gave way, mission controllers at Isro found an innovative solution to keep the mission alive.
Finally on 29 August 2009, the space agency lost all contact with Chandrayaan after a catastrophic failure - possibly in its power supply system. A day later, the mission was "terminated", although Isro chief G Madhavan Nair declared it had been a "complete success".
'Two-in-one mission'
The Indian mission was in certain respects much more challenging than the Chinese maiden lunar mission which was a simple national orbiter.
Chandrayaan-1 was literally a two-in-one mission, since the main satellite was to orbit at 100km above the Moon and then a tiny gadget the size of a computer monitor was to attempt a "landing" on the Moon's surface.
The mission did this on 14 November 2008. No nation to date had succeeded in both a lunar orbiter and an impactor at the first attempt.

This was more than an experiment. It was also a brave global geo-political statement since the probe that crash-landed on the Moon also permanently placed India's flag on the lunar surface.
India became the fourth space bloc to have done this after Russia, America and the European Space Agency.
This is hugely significant because, if ever the Moon's resources are to be divided, India's rightful share can be claimed having achieved what others have not been able to do.
There are many other firsts to this mission.
In a highly un-Indian trait, the Indian space agency delivered the Moon mission with no cost or time overrun at $100m and within eight years of it first being suggested.
The spacecraft carried 11 different sophisticated instruments, one of the largest suites of experiments ever carried to the Moon.
The objective was to remotely map the resources of the Moon, prepare a three-dimensional atlas of it and look for water.
All instruments worked for about 10 months in the hostile lunar environment. Dr Nair calls it a "more than 100% success of Indian technology".
India also created a new model of international partnership.
Chandrayaan peered into the deepest craters searching for water
On its own initiative, India announced that it would be happy to piggyback instruments from global partners.
After a huge competition, six instruments sourced from the European Space Agency (Esa), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) and Bulgaria were chosen.
Bernard Foing, the chief scientist for Space Sciences at Esa, calls the Indian mission "the first multi-continent, multi-country lunar mission ever to be undertaken".
A little known fact is that India did not charge any money to fly these instruments 400,000km away: all got a free ride to the Moon, merely in exchange for sharing the scientific data.
Search for water
Chandrayaan-1 was also the first and the most detailed search for water on the Moon using radars - to date, water has never been found.
A miniature American radar onboard the Chandrayaan peered into the Moon's deepest craters searching for "water ice".
The Moon's surface is so parched that scientists feel the only location where water could exist would be in the permanently shadowed craters on the lunar poles.
But these are so deep and dark that sunlight never reaches them - hence the only way to peep inside is to send a radar signal down into them.
The global collaborative team of the mission is very excited about the findings.
"Never seen before images of the permanently shadowed craters of the Moon have been captured," says Paul D Spudis, of the Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston, US, and principal investigator of the payload sent to search for water.
"The new radar images are not only visually arresting, but they will be extremely useful in unravelling the complex geological history of the Moon as a whole," he says.
Other scientific reports on findings are in the offing. But unless the results are published, questions will continue to be asked about whether the mission fulfilled its exalted scientific objectives.
The termination of the Moon mission will, however, not affect India's plans in space.
The country is already planning a second mission to the Moon, Chandrayaan-2, with Russian collaboration in 2011-12; a mission to an asteroid; an unmanned mission to Mars in 2013 and a human spaceflight in 2015.
Upbeat Isro scientists are saying "Chandrayaan-1 is dead, long live Chandrayaan". The jury will be out - until the scientific papers come in.

सरपंच से मारपीट, मामला पुलिस में
डबवाली -- गांव लौहारा के सरपंच सुरजीत सिंह और कश्मीर सिंह फौजी के बीच हुए गाली-गलौच के बाद जमकर हाथापाई हुई। पुलिस सूत्रों के अनुसार सरपंच सुरजीत सिंह ने पुलिस को दी शिकायत में आरोप लगाया है कि रविवार शाम को जब वह गांव की गली में से गुजर रहा था तो बेअन्त सिंह पुत्र बलवीर सिंह तथा कश्मीर सिंह फौजी बगैरा ने उससे गाली गलौच की तथा मारपीट की। उसने आरोप लगाया है कि आरोपी नशे की हालत में थे। इस सन्दर्भ में जब किलियांवाली पुलिस चौकी प्रभारी एएसआई जसबीर सिंह से बातचीत की गई तो उन्होंने बताया कि उनके पास सरपंच की शिकायत आई है और वह इस सारे मामले की जांच कर रहे हैं। वह आरोपियों को ढूंढऩे के लिए गांव भी गये। लेकिन वह वहां नहीं मिले।
महिला के गले से सोने की चैन झपटी
डबवाली -- यहां के बठिंडा चौक में सरेआम कुछ महिलाएं एक महिला के गले में डाली सोने की चैन झपट कर फरार हो गईं। गांव किं गरे की बलजिन्द्र कौर पत्नी अजमेर सिंह ने बताया कि वह मंगलवार दोपहर को मसीतां में रह रही अपनी बुआ माडो के निधन पर शोक प्रकट करने के लिए बस में सवार होने हेतू डबवाली आई थी और बठिंडा चौक से ही उसने बस लेनी थी। लेकिन इससे पूर्व वह अपने गले में डाली सोने की चैन को सुनार से टांका लगवा कर चौक में पहुंची ही थी कि वहां पर पहले से खड़ी एक कार से दो महिलाएं उतरीं और उसमें से एक ने उसके गले में झपटी मार कर चैन छीन ली। जो कि दो तोले की थी और उसकी कीमत करीब 30 हजार रूपये आंकी जा रही है। महिला के अनुसार उसने शोर भी मचाया। दुकानदार इक्ट्ठे हुए लेकिन मौका ताक कर चैन छीनने वाली महिलाएं कार में ही फरार हो गयीं।
रोहतक में करेगी भाजपा विधानसभा चुनाव में शंखनाद
डबवाली - भारतीय जनता पार्टी की राष्ट्रीय कार्यकारिणी सदस्य प्रो. गणेशी लाल ने कहा कि रोहतक के छोटू राम स्टेडियम में 6 सितम्बर को आयोजित की जाने वाली पार्टी के चुनिंदा कार्यकर्ताओं की विशाल बैठक में हरियाणा विधानसभा चुनाव में उतरने का शंखनाद करेगी।
वे मंगलवार को भाजपा के स्थानीय कार्यकर्ता कौर चन्द मोंगा के निवास स्थान पर पत्रकारों से बातचीत कर रहे थे। उन्होंने कहा कि हरियाणा में सभी 90 सीटों पर भाजपा चुनाव लड़ेगी। भाजपा ने पिछले अनुभवों को देखते हुए इस बार अकेले ही चलने का मन बनाया है। अगर कोई पार्टी भाजपा को समर्थन देना चाहती है उसका स्वागत रहेगा। लेकिन भाजपा स्वयं किसी पार्टी के साथ गठबंधन नहीं करेगी और न ही सरकार बनाने में सहयोग करेगी।
उन्होंने यह भी बताया कि रोहतक की पार्टी कार्यकर्ता बैठक में कम से कम 10 हजार कार्यकर्ता जुटेंगे। समय पूर्व चुनाव की घोषणा पर टिप्पणी करते हुए उन्होंने कहा कि कांग्रेस का चुनाव से यह पलायन है। कांग्रेस ने घबराकर समय पूर्व चुनावों की घोषणा की है। चूंकि मुख्यमंत्री भूपेन्द्र सिंह हुड्डा को खतरा है कि वह अगली बार मुख्यमंत्री नहीं बन पाएंगे।
उन्होंने चुनाव आयोग द्वारा 13 अक्तूबर को चुनाव करवाने के 9 दिन बाद वोटों की गिनती करवाने को संदेहजनक करार देते हुए कहा कि वोटों की गिनती चुनाव के दिन ही होनी चाहिए थी और राजनीतिक पार्टियों द्वारा ईवीएम मशीनों में गड़बड़ी होने की संभावनाओं की आशंका पहले ही जताई जा चुकी है और 9 दिन बाद गिनती इस प्रकार के संदेह को और भी पुख्ता करती है।
उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि पढ़े-लिखे बेरोजगार युवकों का सड़कों पर आने को मजबूर होना और 6वें वेतन आयोग की रिपोर्ट को स्वीकार करने के बावजूद भी लागू न करना, सुप्रीम कोर्ट के आदेश पर भी प्रति गाय 15 रूपये की निर्धारित राशि न दिया जाना हरियाणा सरकार के दिवालियापन का संकेत है। उन्होंने सवाल किया कि जब हरियाणा सरकार के खजाने में पैसे की कोई कमी नहीं है तो फिर उपरोक्त मांगे पूरी करने में आना-कानी क्यों बरती गई है और मुख्यमंत्री को पढ़े लिखे युवाओं से पुतले जलवाना भी शोभा नहीं देता। उनके अनुसार भाजपा की सर्वे टीम द्वारा रिपोर्ट पार्टी हाईकमान को दी जा चुकी है कि किसको टिकट दी जानी है। चुनाव समिति की बैठक में 55 सीटों पर चुनाव लडऩे की सहमति हो चुकी है और अगली बैठक में अन्य 35 सीटों पर भी चुनाव लड़ाये जाने की सहमति हो जाएगी। उन्होंने यह भी बताया कि भाजपा प्रत्याशियों की पहली सूची इसी सप्ताह जारी कर दी जाएगी।
इस मौके पर विजय वधवा, सतीश काला, कौर चन्द मोंगा, मनोज शर्मा उर्फ मौजी, रमेश सेठी, प्रमोद कुमार, रामलाल बागड़ी, राजू मोंगा आदि उपस्थित थे।
वे मंगलवार को भाजपा के स्थानीय कार्यकर्ता कौर चन्द मोंगा के निवास स्थान पर पत्रकारों से बातचीत कर रहे थे। उन्होंने कहा कि हरियाणा में सभी 90 सीटों पर भाजपा चुनाव लड़ेगी। भाजपा ने पिछले अनुभवों को देखते हुए इस बार अकेले ही चलने का मन बनाया है। अगर कोई पार्टी भाजपा को समर्थन देना चाहती है उसका स्वागत रहेगा। लेकिन भाजपा स्वयं किसी पार्टी के साथ गठबंधन नहीं करेगी और न ही सरकार बनाने में सहयोग करेगी।
