The BJD’s idea that it would go out comfortably in a safe way by not voting in the Vice Presidential election did not suit its imagination, rather this comfort was destroyed, exposing the party to various discussions and criticisms and surrounding it with this formidable question that what did the party gain by not voting?
The party president and the party’s behind-the-scenes director must know very well whether the party gained or not.
All the party’s Rajya Sabha members did not vote in the Vice Presidential election this time. But despite this, the NDA candidate won the election and CP Radhakrishnan was elected as the new Vice President of the country. Now the question arises that what did the BJD gain by not participating in the Vice Presidential election?
The BJD now has zero MPs in the Lok Sabha and only 7 in the Rajya Sabha. However, even after that, BJP leaders spoke to Naveen to get BJD’s support. It was also reported that Defense Minister Rajnath Singh spoke to Naveen on the phone. However, the BJD announced that it would abstain from the voting process in the Vice Presidential election this time. However, the question is, did the BJD get any benefit by not voting in this election? – Or did it just abstain from voting saying it would not oppose, which is the subject of heated debate.
Naveen has openly expressed support for many issues of the Modi government. Whether it is a bill or something else in the parliament, BJD MPs often used to support the NDA alliance. However, since the government changed in Odisha, some changes have been seen in the BJD-BJP relationship. Odisha politics is also active due to which. During the Waqf Bill, some BJD leaders supported the bill, while some opposed it. So this time, there is talk that BJD has played a safe game by deciding not to vote in the Vice Presidential election.
It was being discussed that if BJD votes for the candidate of the Independent Mentor in the Vice Presidential election, then it may become a victim of the anger of BJP leaders and what the consequences of that anger may be is a different matter. On the other hand, if BJD had supported the candidate of the NDA Mentor, then the news that BJD-BJP are one would have reached the people somewhere or the other. Therefore, it is said that Naveen has decided not to vote by playing the equidistance card, looking at both sides.
However, some BJP leaders are saying that this decision of BJD has benefited BJP. On the other hand, there is talk that Naveen has made the BJD-BJP relationship even more interesting by adopting the equidistance formula. So it remains to be seen, what turn this relationship will take?
So whatever he is, Naveen has adopted the formula of equal distance. This formula indirectly indicates that no matter how far the BJD keeps itself from the BJP externally, it is very close to the BJP internally. Not voting means that by any means, it will ensure the victory of the BJP candidates. Whatever the reason behind this.
On this occasion, a song from an old Hindi film fits this formula of the BJD perfectly. The song is – Duriyaan naj dikiya bangai, ajab itefaqe. Pyar ki sehenaiya bajgai, ajab itefaqe l i.e. distance has now turned into closeness, which is a strange combination. The sound of love has rung, which is a strange combination. In the context of BJD and BJP, the meaning of this song is that no matter how much the distance between the two parties is shown to increase outwardly, in reality they have always been closer inside, which is a strange connection.
No matter how much hostility the two parties show towards each other outwardly, they are united and lovingly playing inside, which is a strange connection. In reality, these two parties are strange parties and it is not easy to understand the chemistry of their love. This chemistry is a very strange chemistry. Nothing more needs to be said about this. Enough is enough for those who understand.
