With the latest entry of Digambar Kamat into the BJP government, one must ask why party members are fine with this.
A majority of ministers are not originally from the BJP “ six are ex-Congress, one is an Independent and one is from the MGP. Except for Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, almost all senior ministers are ex-Congress leaders. Ironically, the BJP itself had once condemned many of them as corrupt or tainted by serious charges like rape or involvement in riots.
Why then is the BJP high command giving preference to “outsiders” instead of loyal members who have long followed the party’s core ideology? Do BJP members have any self-respect, and do they truly understand what is happening within their party?
