• [BJP News]: Vajpayee as India's Thatcher - The Pioneer - Posted on
  >>>Through the 80s and even the early 90s, it used to be said, `Atal Bihari Vajpayee is the best Prime Minister India never had'.With his NDA Government completing one year in office on October 13, even as he recuperates after a knee surgery, the time has come to reassess that remark. Although a year is not a long enough time for a political balance sheet to be drawn up, Mr Vajpayee has, in fact, spent an uninterrupted 31 months in two stints as Prime Minister and that's a good enough period for assessing his performance.Interestingly, the comment about his being the best Prime Minister India never had has a patronising ring to it. The remark was usually heard in the cocktail circuit, generally towards the concluding part of a BJP-bashing session. `Right man in the wrong party' was, very often, the prelude to this observation. Of late, comments about Mr Vajpayee have been few and far between. His stature has grown immeasurably over the past couple of years and he has also acquired an aura of being irreplaceable, prompting Mr L K Advani to frequently refer to the TINA factor to buttress the argument regarding the NDA Government's stability.Accolades for the Vajpayee dispensation are being heard very loudly at the moment. The regime appears remarkably stable, despite the presence of 24 diverse partners. A few days back, when Ms Mamata Banerjee threatened to rock the boat, she found to her dismay that she stood isolated within the alliance and even public support was not forthcoming although the issue she raised (ostensibly) was one on which people should have been with her. Nobody welcomes a price rise. But, despite their anger with the Government, people did not appreciate her antics for nobody seems to want this Government destabilised. One exception needs to be made here. Our tribe, namely journalists, is bored stiff with this Government. Having got used to the excitement of reporting regular political roller-skating since 1996, they find the present stability spell most lacklustre. Fortunately, journalists are not in a position to create or destroy Governments even if many believe they can.Stability, however, is not necessarily a blessing in politics. A Government loses a powerful excuse for its failures. Only in West Bengal has consistent failure been a political virtue; few leaders, Mr Vajpayee included, have Mr Jyoti Basu's luck......
