Dear BJP, Where is the money coming from?

For a party which made so much noise on black money and which even organised such an elaborate sham called demonetisation to ‘fight’ it, the general silence surrounding the BJP’s blatant use of money power to poach opposition MLAs, MLCs and MPs is quite defeaning. No one has asked the obvious question of the amount of money that each of those MLAs and MLCs from Gujarat, UP and other places who so happily resigned their positions, were paid. Nor were there any questions on the source of money. Quite a few JDU MLAs who stuck with Opportunitish Kumar must have got a truck full of money too. In UP, the three opposition MLCs (including a Muslim) vacated their positions so that Yogi Adityanath and his ministers can save themselves from standing in elections. So much Yogi love from the opposition.

Instead of questioning them on the source of their money, the typical reaction has been to pour scorn on the opposition. Rahul Gandhi being the easier soft target, unlike the dangerous, feared President of the ruling party. Almost everyone seems to have forgotten the stories of the large scale land purchases by the BJP in various states a few weeks before demonetisation.

More than the money, what we should be scared about is the pace at which they seem to be virtually shutting out all opposition by buying off the money-minded among them. The pace at which they are pushing aadhar, the pace at which they are making the country opposition-free, all point to a bunch in a hurry. They are very well aware that their Government is an all-round failure and that the time for them to rewrite the constitution to build the Hindutva rashtra is running out.
