NEW DELHI: At last Vasundhara Raje, former chief minister of Rajasthan has resigned from the post of opposition leader. It took top BJP brass leaders whole three months to convince Raje who has been rejected by voters in the last assembly election. This is the same BJP committee which took decision of sacking a great leader and personality like Jaswant Singh from the party within couple of hours on Jinna issue. The main difference is ‘he was sacked and she was asked’ said one of the leaders. After submitting the resignation Raje said she was not happy with leaders and she said she was humiliated by the party leaders in Delhi. But it seems she has forgotten the humiliation by voters in Rajasthan during the last assembly and central elections under her leadership. She went on to say that ‘ party lacks democracy’ which does not seem to be correct as every leader in central BJP is talking freely with media whatever they feel like and exercising their democratic right not worrying about the impact on the party image. If any body is humiliated in the BJP team from the latest developments, it is the party itself and its workers and supporters. People who have been voting since Vajpayee era are really humiliated by the party leaders and they are disappointed with latest party developments. Raje said no one is accountable in the central BJP team, which seems to be a logical comment. If BJP had been accountable at least to its voters it would have been in power again. When top brass is not accountable to the general public, how can you expect them to be accountable to other leaders? She said she has been humiliated by the party leaders. Actually it is the people of Rajasthan who have humiliated her by snatching the power from her in Rajasthan looking at her performance. It is better she should bother more about humiliation by voters than leaders at Delhi. If voters accept her so will the rest of the nation. It is applicable to the whole BJP team and its outgoing and incoming leaders
