Sahara dairies: Oppn parties target both BJP, Cong
New Delhi, Dec 27, 2016, DHNS:
Cry for probe against leaders like Sheila
Opposition parties, including the Left, the JD (U) and the RJD, are trying to use Sahara dairies to target both the BJP and the Congress. Their number one enemy is, however, Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The stand of these parties may not suit elder leaders of Congress party, but it endorses Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's position that the information contained in the dairies needs a probe.
This stand also suits their politics of not allowing the Congress to take lead in articulating opposition to Modi government.
The dairies which have been in circulation contain the names of Congress leaders including that of then Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit. She has denied the allegation.
The parties including the Left, JD (U), RJD and NCP are demanding a probe even if it contains names of Congress leaders or any other party.
All the parties are allying with the Congress, but they do not want to allow the Congress to grow beyond a limit that the latter may re-emerge on its own. The reason is simple. All these parties have overlapping constituencies with the Congress in their states of influence and they are in competition with the grand old party.
“I want that the Sahara diaries be made public now and all the people named in it be questioned,” said JD (U) leader K C Tyagi.
“Irrespective of who has been named in the list, immediate action should be taken and a probe by a sitting judge of the Supreme Court ordered,” said RJD leaderManoj Jha.
“Because we do not want to target an individual, rather we do not want the prime minister’s position losing its credibility in front of the entire world and this is our priority,” he said. “It does not matter if the person is from the Congress or the BJP or is a PM or a former CM,” said NCP leader.
