The final match

It is the last chance for Advani to aim for prime ministership

COALITION BUILDING: BJPRahul Dravid may have relinquished the Indian cricket team’s captaincy, but BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani seems in no hurry to hang his boots. He is actively trying to cobble together the erstwhile NDA constituents and add a fresh lease of life into the election outfit. Prospects of snap polls have caused flurry of activity in BJP. Whether it is hosting lunch for Udhav Thackeray of Shiv Sena; wooing Jayalalitha in Tamil Nadu or once again invoking political Ram, using the Sethusamudram project controversy, the aim is apparent. This probably is the last chance for Advani to fulfill his dream of becoming the Prime Minister of India. “Advaniji is our leader & prime ministerial candidate”, BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar told B&E.

That is the reason Advani is not leaving anything to chance this time around. No one can dispute Advani’s plans to resurrect the NDA, but what he seems to be forgetting is that, today, his party is a divided house – incapable of re-erecting a political edifice, incapable of challenging the UPA outfit. Moreover, with the Left hogging all the limelight normally reserved for the Opposition, BJP’s chances of attracting viable coalition partners is a difficult proposition.

The question is how long can the BJP go on shoulders of already crippled horses? What Mr. Advani needs to take cognisance of is, first & foremost, he needs to get his own house in order; get the likes of Rajnath Singh & Arun Jaitley to get into a huddle, shout out loud & clear ‘we are proud to be a part of the BJP’; give them a good practice session to field searching questions thrown in by the media from time to time; teach his party-men the virtues of playing honestly with a straight bat & bowling well-directed deliveries in the right spot to put the UPA on the back foot. It is only after doing this home-work that Advani should go in to woo external players. The only solace for him, though is that the RSS, angry with his Jinnah remarks is now backing him. Remember, Advaniji, this is going to be your last Twenty20 game. If you falter as a leader this time, history will not wait to offer you a second innings.
