Post-chintan baithak, the BJP has clearly slipped into a catch-22 situation. While it has expelled Jaswant Singh without caring to seek a clarification from him, it had no qualms about extending the courtesy to Arun Shourie, despite his hard-hitting attack on the party president. It is high time the BJP realised that its emergence as a viable political alternative at the national level depends on its ability to snap its umbilical cord with the RSS.
