    OPPOSITION UNITY AGAIN - 

    JOKE OF THE BILLENNIUM 

                       PART -1

                   ************

Opposition Unity ? Is it a pipe-dream, a mere posturing or a concrete effort ? For analysing this we should peep into pages of history and analyse their Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. (SWOT analysis).

Now, if we peep into the pages of history, what do we know? India aka Akhanda Bharath , (from Himalayas to the great oceans down South, From Chanakya, Serial. Himalayon Se Lekar , Samudra Paryanth Tak ) has always been ridden with factional politics. That was one of the reasons why ambitious foreign thugs, out to loot wealth of Bharath could invade and occupy this country easily. Chanakya, the Creator of Ardh Shastra, a treatise on economy and political science , uses his acumen to unite the fractured Indian polity divided into small kingdoms or Janapadas as they were refered then , to dethrone the selfish , womanising and  tyrant Dhanananda and establish a rule of law under Maurya Chandragupta. Dangling the carrot, using the stick and using their flaws to pin them down Chanakya unites them and defeats the Magatha King, who was invincible till then and anoints Maurya Chandragupta on the throne. Some in the group of cunning kings and princes try till the last minute to thwart the attempts of Chanakya. But the wily patriot Chanakya overrides them. Is there a Chanakya in the opposition camp now? No. We have only Nava Nandas (nine Nandas, jokers now). Where is Chanakya the patriot and politically savvy intelligent leader now? He is ruling the country to the utmost satisfaction of the populace. Is it possible to dethrone him for these Nanda dynasts who are  useless and whose only strength is their ancestry? Where do we find one , one and the only one who can counter the charis№###ma of Modi, his love of India , his patriotism and his unifying nature?

Mughals and later the British used the inefficacy of and internecine quarrels among the rich , dynastic but nincompoop princes to overthrow them and bit by bit occupy our sacred land. These princes, as long as they were allowed to remain rich, gaudy and allowed to indulge in body sports with the feminine gender ignored the poor population. We saw a similar pattern in the opposition parties and groups today.

Congress, a behemoth political dispensation few years back slowly disintegrated into a non-entity. The sinking ship was ditched by more patriotic senior leaders. But the dynasts , as long as they could enjoy the ill-gotten wealth and the bail in courts handed over to them on a platter inspite of their criminal mindset are not bothered to revive the party and infuse courage in the cadre. Many Regional parties who are off-shoots of the Congres of yore follow the pattern by the book. Other Regional parties , formed on regional sentiments cling to power spending the tax-payers' money  offering freebies and keeping population drowsy offering them them intoxicating drinks and allowing the drug-trade flourish in their states . Many state level leaders consider the states they rule as their kingdoms. Now, leaders of these parties want to come together to dethrone Modi. The incentive? PM post. Raison diet're? Hatred for Modi. Why hate Modi?
