1. The Advani lobby with able support of Ananth Kumar and silent consent of the two Parliamentary opposition leaders, with a helpless Rajnath tilting either side, and an absent Narendra Mody obviously in protest against the agenda to expel Jethmalani, has now succeeded in its attempt to further fracture the BJP.
2. The Board had announced that Ram Jethmalani crashed into the Parliamentary Board Meting. But Jethmalani now in NY displayed the letter ( a whip) requiring him to attend the meeting in spite of suspension, and hence went there to attnd and spoke his views dissenting with the mjor decisions taken.
3. Anticipating a win for BJP due to negative votes of UPA, LKA is keen to be the PM and hence any criticism of him is viewed ferociously by LKA. The LKA group has not taken the lesson fom Karnataka fiasco, caused by thye LKA-Ananth Kumar duo, throwing out Yeddy that has turned the tide in favour of Congress, though the vote share has almost remained as earlier polls. Yeddy definitely caused a dent and the move to expl Jetmalani would worsen the future for BJP.
4. It is high time that RSS steps in and sets things right before it is too late.

Yes Sire,
Well presented and stated. Kapil Sibal in the CNN-IBN programme was very loud and clear.
The question we, the public at large, are left with the negative image that the larger opposition tends to get by blocking the parliamentary functioning. Two on account of being a major support of the highly corrupt BJP Govt. that operated in Karnataka. Sushma ji had completely tied up with the Reddy brothers, and becoming their "sponsor of sorts".
Indians have over the decades been unlucky in not creating a forward looking and a progressive political party that can stand up to the highest standards of public service.
Jethmalani sahib deserved better--keeping in view his senior age, no axe to grind and a highly frank and an open leadership.
Let us see what end-2013 or early summer of 2014 produce for the country.
Regards

Jethmalani expelled from BJP for 6 years
The expulsion of 89-year-old Jethmalani, who is a member of Rajya Sabha, by the BJP Parliamentary Board comes weeks after he had barged into a Parliamentary Party meetingThe Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has expelled Ram Jethmalani, Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha, for six years from the party's primary membership, on charges of breach of discipline. On November 25, 2012, the senior lawyer was issued a showcause notice for criticising the party leadership and demanding the resignation of former party president Nitin Gadkari.
Jethmalani had faced the wrath of the BJP leadership after he questioned the decision of Sushma Swaraj, leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, and Arun Jaitley, leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, to oppose the appointment of Ranjit Sinha as director of the Central Bureau of Investigation.
The BJP leadership said Jethmalani had failed to respond to charges of embarrassing statements against the party and of levelling allegations against Swaraj and Jaitley without "sufficient cause".
"The central parliamentary board, after considering all your replies, responses and letters, was of the unanimous opinion that you have indulged in breach of discipline. The board decided to expel you for a period of six years from the primary membership of the party. You have failed to show any sufficient cause for challenging the authority and legitimacy of the party by stating the BJP leadership has no guts to take action against you," senior party leader Ananth Kumar wrote to Jethmalani.
"You had defied the whip of the party by not voting for the election of the members of the committee on public undertakings on May 6. The above action is without prejudice," Kumar wrote.Cong gained 191, BJP lost 144 assembly seats post 2009
Kapil Sibal recently in 'Devil's Advocate' rejected popular perception that Congress did not enjoy popular mandateAfter a spate of scams, corruption charges that scalped several Union ministers and washed out Parliament sessions – the general perception is that Congress as a political party has been losing ground.
Surprisingly, statistics reveal otherwise. In the 21 states that went to assembly polls post May 2009 general elections; a bird's eye-view of the performance of the two national parties the Congress and the BJP shows that the Congress gained 191 seats and lost 86 seats while the BJP in the same period gained only 51 seats and lost more than double that number 144 seats.
It was Union minister Kapil Sibal in the CNN-IBN programme "Devil's Advocate" recently, who rejected the popular perception that the Congress did not enjoy popular mandate and cited the performance of the Congress vis a vis the BJP in the past two years where 11 states had gone to polls and asserted that the Congress has been gaining ground while the BJP which has been gradually losing seats over the past four years.
It is striking that in several states – Puducherry, Kerala , Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Manipur, Meghalaya and Tripura – the BJP has not managed to bag a single seat over the past two assembly polls ie in a decade.
