Gadkari Gone;Rajnath Singh is the New Party President

BJP has saved itself from massive embarrassments by appointing Rajnath Singh as the Party President.Nitin Gadkari might be clean but the charges levelled against him certainly dented his image and his continuance as the President would have certainly proved counter productive for the

This is the right time for the BJP to take on the Congress on corruption issues.Many feel that BJP is not as attacking as it should be.If it had acted swiftly after the Yedurappa episode then the party would have been able to maintain the moral high ground.That mistake coupled with the allegation on Gadkari have taken the sheen on BJP's behaviour and credibility.

The way the party keep mum on various scandalous issues also signals that it is more or less same as the Congress.People got attracted towards the BJP because it was a political party with a difference.The party must work towards that image once again and eject those whose credentials are suspect.
