End of an age old saga

Dark clouds prevailed over Bihar as 17 year old relationship of BJP and JD-U came to a radical end . Well known for its love-hate relationship , the alliance had been under sheer scrutiny for years. Unaffected by the biggest of challenges , the couple recently broke up because of a man who currently holds a very crucial position in the parent party - The BJP  .

Elevation of Narendra Modi as BJP campaign chief caused tremors in the party which soon resulted into an earthquake . Modi's acclivity followed by Advani's act of resignation made the ambiguities in Nitish's mind obvious . The dramatic resignation by senior party leader of NDA , Advani rooted deep root dissension within the party , revealing the weakest point of NDA . Modi , a man known for his stereotypical humour and foot-in-mouth disease unanimously managed to end the saga of the BJP-JDU , an alliance which acted as an obstruction in the process of him becoming the next BJP Prime Ministerial candidate .

The end of the BJP-JDU saga leads to the commencement of another interesting saga - 'saga of the Second Iron Man Of India' . While Iron Man's 3 verdict has already been rendered , Naredra Modi is yet to declare himself the only superhero of India . The emerging superhero might not wear an iron suit or have blue eyes but possesses powers much mightier then Congressi superheroes . Deemed as a lion , a messiah , he turned out to be the cause of fidelity .

Whether it was a matter of insecurity or comm
unalism , the curtains over 17 year old BJP-JDU relationship has certainly crippled NDA . With general elections approaching ,  NDA will soon have to think of a new layout  . While Modi continues to be BJP's mascot , the possibility of a third front might be a cause of concern for the party . The UPA on the other hand seems to be in a jolly mood as it sees its opposition breaking apart . With both the parties sharing similar story of betrayal  , UPA being deserted by TMC and NDA by JD-U , the former having outside support of two major regional parties , SP and BSP has major chances of outweighing the latter .

Did RSS played the spoilsport for NDA ? The implication in the resignation drama has a crucial RSS link . Though Rajnath denied any RSS involvement in the drama , Advani's anger against Rajnath was largely based on unanimous activities of some party leaders including Suresh Soni and his protegee Ram Lal, who ensured that Modi was anointed despite Advani’s reservations. The involvement of RSS brings another saga into picture - 'The Saga of RSS-Modi ' . The world is aware of RSS's love for Modi , which , with time has only deepened . The saga might not be interesting as Twilight but surely has the tendency to gain people's sympathy . Loyalty , a feature which sets apart BJP-JDU relationship from RSS-Modi relationship and the reason behind the former's break up . 

With the estranged lovers searching for a new relationship , i.e ,  Nitish Kumar , Naveen Patnaik and Mamta Banerjee opting for a third front scenario , BJP has a lot to worry about . A key aide of Rajnath before BJP-JDU break up  said, “Look at the pressure we face from the cadres. You don’t run a party or a government just with allies, you also need to galvanise your cadres. What signal would we have sent by not conceding to their demand. There could have been a rebellion within.” Though JD-U has left , the problems within the party hasn't diminished ,thanks to the ongoing rift between Advai and Modi . The BJP is divided into two groups - 'Advani supporters' and 'Modi supports' , both the groups making their hatred for each other obvious . Minor hiccups have now become a cause of indigestion and if not neutralized soon , it might lead to serious digestion problems . 

Saddened by the unfortunate walking out of JD-U from NDA , Rajnath said " We always treated JD-U as a younger brother and our relationship of 17 years was not a political but but an emotional one . It was never made under pressure " . While Rajnath's emotional about the end of the coalition , BJP and JDU continue to play the blame game . Rajnath Singh couldn't tolerate Nitish attacking his new man by accusing him of being communal and blasted the jD-U . By withdrawing from the alliance , JD-U has weakened BJP's fight against Congress. "Have i committed a crime by appointing Modi poll panel chief " said an emotional Rajnath Singh .

“Like some wines our love could neither mature nor travel.” Like many other serious relationships  , the BJP-jD(U) came to a saddening end . ."I don't think Narendra Modi will be limited to Gujrat for a long time , he will soon spread his influence to other states" , a statement given by Nitish kumar 10 years ago gives an insight into the world of politics where nothing is stable . Nitish kumar , in his haste to identify himself as a neutral leader ended 17 year old coalition ,giving a serious jolt to NDA  . With NDA going for the 2014 general elections with three main constituencies -BJP,Shiv Sena and Shiromani Akali Dal the fate of NDA will soon be tested but the  betrayal of its long time lover will always be entrenched in the minds of BJP .
