BHOPAL: A recent editorial in the BJP mouthpiece 'Kamal Sandesh' has ruffled the Madhya Pradesh Congress' feathers. The state PCC on Friday demanded an unconditional apology from the editor of the magazine Prabhat Jha, who is also a Rajya Sabha MP and BJP national vice-president.
Jha's editorial questioned the intellectual competence of home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde and alleged that former President Pratibha Patil was a cook at AICC president Sonia Gandhi's residence. He also doubted the methods by which finance minister Chidambaram was elected to the Lok Sabha and defence minister AK Antony's clean image with more scams exposed in his ministry than any other.''
The Congress is seeing red and in uncontrolled fury, party leaders were in a total loss of words. AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh told reporters here: I don't think I should even react to that. I know Prabhat Jha, what he was and what he became.'' State Congress president asked for an unconditional apology for the baseless allegations made by Jha'' and leader of Opposition Ajay Singh said: Prabhat Jha has lost his mind.''
When Prabhat Jha was approached for his version, he explained: It was Digvijay Singh who first said that dual power centres in the Congress has not worked well. My article is precisely about that. In the Congress, cabinet ministers are appointed by the 10, Janpath - the reason why Prime Minister Manmohan Singh never got an opportunity to play his role. He doesn't get to select his team and every minister reports to the Congress president. So why blame him for all the misrule?''
Jha in his editorial argued that the AICC president appointed a former sub-inspector of police Sushil Shinde as the country's home minister who after the Hyderabad terror attacks delivers statements in Parliament like a policemen reading out a challan issues from some police station''.
My article argues that portfolios can be given to persons close to you but how will the Congress president put necessary talent into those persons to run the country. Who can forget SM Krishna reading out the wrong speech at the United Nations? In the end, it is a matter of the nation and not personal coterie that should be important. When I wrote about former President Pratibha Patil, it was to illustrate that being loyal to the high-command yields rich dividends in the Congress,'' Jha explained. The Congress may scream, curse and call me a madman. But they cannot answer the questions I have raised. Had I given any wrong information, they would have come out hammer and tongs against me by now,'' he added.
