 While
the heavy weights including the former Prime Minister
Atal Behari Vajpayee (who was delayed), the party president
L K Advani, Rajnath Singh, Pramod Mahajan, and Arun
Jaitley seemed unenthusiastic the media’s attention
was grabbed by the glamorous but light weights including
Shatrughan Sinha, Hema Malini and Smriti Irani. The
Om on Hema’s sari and the sulk on Shatrughan Sinha’s
face were the talking point in absence of any sensational
statement or happening on the dais.
Garam Dharam and Vinod Khanna were absent.
Dharamendra is rumored to be unwell and Khanna may make
an appearance on the last day.
BJP, confused after several jolts including the departure
of Uma Bharati, sting operation followed by sacking
of over half a dozen MPs who were caught accpeting bribes
on camera, is not able to decide on their own leader.
Rajnath Singh's name is being touted and withdrawn
because of inner conflicts - though some say that he
will take charge in mid January due to astrological
reasons - and with Advani's resignation, the party may
be headless for a couple of weeks.
