http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/BJP_takes_back_Khurana_before_polls/articleshow/2925758.cmsThe over ambitious Madan Lal Khurana who was twice thrown out of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has been reinducted into the party with some misplaced notion of the event doing the political party any good in the elections due early next year. On his part, Madan Lal Khurana has smartly refused to comment on his reinduction into BJP until the party clearly defines the future it has chartered for him. The erstwhile Chief Minister of Delhi was expelled from the party for indiscipline, publicly criticising BJP President Lal Krishna Advani in April 2006 over the Kandahar hijack episode and expressing inability and discomfort at serving with him. Khurana had often spoken against the party leadership and joined Uma Bharati’s party, Bharatiya Jan Shakhti. Wonder what has changed since the time he was thrown out of BJP? Has his discipline improved or has the BJP decided to overlook his anti party activities of the past? Maybe a few years in total political oblivion have taught him to be more tolerant towards Advani, if he is to get anywhere near his ambition to regain lost political relevance.
Of late the 'Dilli Ka Sher' (May God forgive whoever coined that title for him) created news for himself by espousing the cause of traders who had been operating their business outside of law and facing sealing of their shops operating from residential areas. That is the best he could do to earn some publicity for himself. The cranky politician does not mind traders breaking the law and reducing the Capital to slums, if that reserves a place for him in active politics.
The BJP hopes to return to power with the likes of Madan Lal Khurana next year. All the best to the party; they will need it with such people forming their ranks!
