Advani aide Sudheendra Kulkarni calls Modi 'autocrat', Rajnath 'foxy president' Former BJP member and party patriarch L.K. Advani's close associate Sudheendra Kulkarni has attacked party chief Rajnath Singh and its likely prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi terming them as "foxy president" and "autocrat" respectively. The war within the BJP seemed far from over as Kulkarni, who was once also a close aide of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, fired a fresh salvo at the BJP top brass in a terse letter. In his scathing remarks for the sole emerging face within the BJP -- Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi -- Kulkarni compared him to Advani, stating, "An autocrat is sought to be enthroned, and a perfect democrat is being marginalised and humiliated. A self-centered leader who has shown that he cares two hoots for the party organisation and longtime party colleagues in his own state has suddenly become all powerful in the BJP's national scheme of things, whereas a selfless leader who toiled for many decades to build the party brick by brick is being cast aside as a useless relic." Doubting his leadership qualities, Kulkarni further writes: "There is no evidence of Modi being a collaborative team worker within his own state party unit and government; how then can he be expected to manage a coalition?" Kulkarni also pointed fingers at the all important Sangh parivar. He wrote that the party patriarch was debilitated by the Sangh, which no longer believed in him and which, moreover, stoked the leadership ambitions of some in the so-called "second generation functionaries of the BJP". Kulkarni had no kind words for Rajnath Singh either as he went to call him a "foxy president" of the party who has his own "astrologically-induced delusions of becoming India's prime minister and has allowed himself to be prodded and dictated by vested interests to undermine Advani's position in the BJP". Concluding his letter, Kulkarni underscored the "decay that has begun within the BJP" which would only, according to him, would "accelerate if Advani was further humiliated and forced either to retire or to rebel". |
