nterestingly, the drama within the BJP during the past three days has had shades of the Madhok episode of early seventies which led to the Jana Sangh’s co founder’s suspension from the party as a result of a conspiracy hatched by some top leaders of the party and the RSS. Madhok was the Jana Sangh’s strongman and it was during his presidentship of the party that the Saffron Brigade for the first time got 33 seats in the Lok Sabha in the 1967 general elections. However, after the assassination of his successor and Jana Sangh ideologue Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya in early 1968, the party was taken over by Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Nanaji Deshmukh. Madhok was subsequently eased out after the 1971 elections and in his books, holds Vajpayee, Advani, Nanaji and K.R.Malkani responsible for the action against him. |
