Difficult task of cobbling opposition unity in India
The Sharad Yadav show: Difficult task of cobbling opposition unity in India: By: The Tribune, Chandigarh
An observation by Balbir Singh Sooch:
1. The Sharad Yadav show- Difficult task of cobbling opposition unity, for the editorial written very ethically and intelligently; The Tribune, Chandigarh deserves much appreciation especially at this junction of state of opposition as opposition stands crushed now in India.
2. The Sharad Yadav will be projected as PM candidate by the opposition, if united; otherwise also he as an opposition leader (may be said to be planted or seems to be promoted to promisingly lead the entire opposition in India and to leave the opposition any time like Satish kumar tactfully as to at whose instance…carry on guessing…) will remain more than satisfied with an understanding with any ruling party as his past seems openly speaks.
3. The Sharad Yadav may be said to be planted or seems to be promoted to promisingly lead the entire opposition in India and to leave the opposition any time like Satish kumar tactfully as to at whose instance…carry on guessing…! Who ditches whom? Guess? Some body may say or guess, such leaders ditch their own people and process is continuing endlessly. Isn’t?
4. As heard and seen his (The Sharad Yadav) shining, glittering and sparking speech and the criticism of ruling party in the parliament like saying, ‘As to how long we will carry on covering up the misdeeds of the ruling party against the minorities especially dalits and downtrodden and or words to that effect….understood by all…there used to be laughter and humor-funniness jokingly all over in parliament like voices…well said…well said ‘Sharad Yadav’ go on. That’s why “The Sharad Yadav is a great leader now”.
5. About CPI (M), “The Trinamool Congress chief has already described CPI (M) as a hypocrite and alleged it is a clandestine partner of BJP. “CPI (M) is a party of hypocrites that follow double-standards. When they go to the hills they speak of division of the state and in the plains they speak differently. They have clandestine understanding with BJP,” she said.
6. BJP is a government of agencies, by agencies, for agencies. Can it be denied?
7. In an interview, Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee said: This (BJP) is a government of agencies, by agencies, for agencies. People are scared…scare politics won’t be a success: Hoping to stitch an Opposition alliance in the run-up to 2019, Mamata Banerjee speaks on the exit of Nitish Kumar, her willingness to work with rivals Congress and Left, her fight against the BJP, Darjeeling agitation, the challenges she faces. Does her not mean to say problem after problems for the governments in opposition to BJP now?
8. The BJP (BJP and its allies do not notch up more than a 40 per cent of vote share as mentioned in the editorial) known, as communal and divisive-disruptive, troublesome; causing disagreement or hostility within a group (s) so that it is likely to split, is a party government of agencies, by agencies, for agencies as being reported and said.
9. Now, under the circumstances, only question arises, have government of agencies concerned played wrongly and incorrectly rather miscalculated to project BJP as a communal party to the present level via the demolition of Babri Masjid, the genocide of Gujarat etc ?
10. Whom to believe about the righteous of the BJP’s projection to that extent to Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee and or an Operative Part from CM Manik Sarkar's I-Day Speech?
11. Here it is worth to quote, “Tripura CM Manik Sarkar's I-Day Speech Criticising Cow Politics That Doordarshan And AIR Blacked Out: Sarkar refused to "change a single word" of his speech. The following is a paragraph from the speech that is understood to have troubled Delhi:
12. "Unity in diversity is India's traditional heritage. Great values of secularism have helped in keeping Indians together as a nation. Today, the spirit is under attack.
13. Conspiracies and attempts are underway to create an undesirable complexity and divisions in our society; to invade our national consciousness in the name of religion, caste and community, by inciting passions to convert India into a particular religious country and in the name of protecting the cow."
14. …Earlier also said in the context of opposition in India, ‘In face of the helpless opposition in India for its own reasons and greed as being experienced now:

15. “Mostly opposing the Government candidate for ‘PRESIDENT OF INDIA HEREAFTER’ will not dare to do so openly as BJP is determined to fix them and in this context, the opposition parties meet in a big show of strength over lunch hosted by Congress president Sonia Gandhi to discuss a joint candidate to field for President seems meaningless in face of helpless opposition in India for its own reasons and greed as being experienced now.
16. Finding no other way and alternative with and in face of helpless opposition in India for its own reasons and greed as being experienced, better to have “A Consensus Candidate - One Supported by Both Opposition Parties and the Government of India”, at least to give a message internationally that both ‘Opposition Parties and the Government of India’ are united in the larger interest of the country, India under the garb of as "The President is the custodian of the Constitution of India, whereas, in fact, the “PRESIDENT OF INDIA” is not having such position-powers in practice, ‘Constitutionally And Or Otherwise Also’. The ‘Hindutva’ has also eaten away the remaining left out-still left, or still existing Constitution of India now”...!

The observation shall be incomplete without quoting as already wrote and published as under in context of opposition in India:

17. “Alliance with regional parties: The selfish nature of bargaining of political conduct of the regional parties, “let us talk out, let us walk out, let us bail out and or be silent now, thereafter, be violent now” as the conduct of regional parties were defined by former president of BJP, M. Venkaiah Naidu (Now Vice-President of India).”
18. BJP watching fissures in alliance: Comment by Balbir Singh Sooch: Such claims like Third Front’ or alternative-‘Mahagathbandhan’ etc are without any political ideology by the respective ‘Traditional Parties’ including the ‘Regional Parties’ to defeat ‘ Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as BJP is a symbol of ‘Hindu “Aggressive” Nationalism’ now in the absence of any meaningful and effective opposition in India.
19. But people of India seem to be started understanding that the other traditional parties individually or collectively have no political ideology of their own except only looting their own countrymen for their own personal selfish ends so far.
20. Once, rejecting the possibility of a third front etc, former president of BJP, M. Venkaiah Naidu (Now Vice-President of India) worth to quote as he said and proving true till today
21. “Alliance with regional parties: The selfish nature of bargaining of political conduct of the regional parties, “let us talk out, let us walk out, let us bail out and or be silent now, thereafter, be violent now” as the conduct of regional parties were defined by former president of BJP, M. Venkaiah Naidu”
22. Thus frustration prevails in the minds of our countrymen-Indians’ Balbir Singh Sooch said”

Full Text of ‘The Editorial Posted at: August 19, 2017, 12:31 AM (IST): The Sharad Yadav show: Difficult task of cobbling opposition unity in India: By: The Tribune, Chandigarh:
(i) The Sharad Yadav show: Difficult task of cobbling-ROADS, to pave a road with cobblestones opposition unity:
To Know More and More to Read: Thanks
(ii) Now, 43 years later, he seeks again a limelight for himself, as the possible pivot around which a semblance of opposition unity be once again organised.
(iii) As in 1974, Sharad Yadav seeks to become the catalyst for opposition unity.
The Sharad Yadav show:
(iv) In 1974 Sharad Yadav was a young 26-year-old lad, just out of an engineering college. He found himself projected as the joint opposition candidate in a byelection for the Jabalpur Lok Sabha constituency. And he won, getting the better of combined resourcefulness of a powerful prime minister (Indira Gandhi) and her all-pervasive Congress Party. (v) Many historians regard Sharad Yadav’s Jabalpur victory as a turning point in Indian politics, almost force-scripting the Emergency drama.
(vi) Since that heady baptism, Sharad Yadav has been seen as a man who never achieved his political potential.
(vii) He has always been uncomfortable playing second fiddle to this or that “tall leader” but he never acquired a mass appeal to strike out on his own.
(viii) Now, 43 years later, he seeks again a limelight for himself, as the possible pivot around which a semblance of opposition unity be once again organised.
(ix) It took considerable courage and conviction on his part to part company with Nitish Kumar when the Bihar Chief Minister opportunistically ditched the Mahagathbandhan to go back to the NDA and his old partners in the political crime.
(x) On Thursday, he could attract an impressive array of opposition leaders and voices to his forum, designed to protect India’s composite culture, supposedly under siege from the BJP-RSS combine.
(xi) This gathering is the first sign that the Opposition forces remain unintimidated and are recovering their breath.
(xii) As in 1974, Sharad Yadav seeks to become the catalyst for opposition unity.
The mathematical argument for opposition unity is obvious:
(xiii) The BJP and its allies do not notch up more than a 40 per cent of vote share, yet walk away with a much larger share of seats.
(xiv) If all or even a substantive portion of this non-BJP vote gets coalesced, then a kind of 1977 can get replicated.
(xv) But elections are much more than numbers.
(xvi) The country would need to be given a good and credible reason to move away from its current infatuation with Prime Minister Modi.
(xvii) It is here that Sharad Yadav has a role to play: he should take the lead in morally re-purposing the idea of Opposition unity.
