Whether Lord Ram can rescue the Bharatiya Janata Party from its current predicament will be known when the results of the assembly elections are announced on 11 December. But Ram is definitely helping Shiv Sena’s Uddhav Thackeray. At least, for the time being. Uddhav stole the show in Ayodhya from the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Perhaps, even he did not imagine that he would get such a grand welcome from the sants and mahants as well as the thousands of people who had gathered in the holy city. Uddhav Thackeray used the occasion to target NOT the “secularist” Congress or Rahul Gandhi, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He challenged the Modi government to show the guts to build Ram Mandir as promised in the BJP manifesto.
