SUSHIL MODI: VOTE OF CONFIDENCE

Deputy CM Sushil Modi wins a reprieve, albeit temporary, in Bihar

The number of those wanting to get ministerial berths far outstripped the portfolios that were on offer. BJP legislators say that Modi is too much of a Nitish Kumar man and has ignored the interests of the party. Prime BJP dissident and legislator, Satyadev Narayan Rai, told B&E: “Sushil Modi is not a mass leader. He does not understand the party at its grassroots. He does not take the party along in any decision. Most decisions of his are unilateral.” Political observers say that Modi was saved due to a combination of reasons, which includes the compulsions of coalition politics and Modi’s closeness to party supremo, L. K. Advani. The critical question here is: how long will he survive? Not for long, because standing against him are perennial BJP dissidents, Murli Manohar Joshi and Kalraj Mishra, both from neighbouring UP, who have an active interest in keeping the pot boiling. It is equally certain that those opposed to Modi have only lost a temporary battle. The war in the Bihar BJP could have just begun.
