Hats Off to Ms.Vasundhara Raje Chief Minister Rajasthan ! She stuck to her guns very daringly to assert herself in face of a stiff resistence by all powerful BJP duo of NaMo and Amit Shah !
On the contrary, two stalwarts of BJP Mr.Lal Krishan Advani and Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi are still tight-lipped so far as issues of paramount national importance are concerned ! They are not to lose anything now at this juncture whereas Ms. Raje did run the risk of inviting trouble by opposing the wish of the two BJP top bigwigs !
When will Mr.Advani and Dr. Joshi break their silence is a suspense haunting the masses of the nation ?
May be they are waiting for an appropriate occasion which does not now seem to be very far off !
