Supreme Court reprimands Rahul Gandhi, BJP leaders cheer, but will the enthusiasm last?

The Supreme Court reprimanding Rahul Gandhi and BJP leaders expressing happiness over it is a gem of a development. Over the last few days, senior members of the ruling party felt really constricted because some court rulings were not to their liking.

It's good that BJP leaders have got something to cheer about in this Twenty20 season. When long faced, their impact players swung into action like a slog over performer, hoping that the rank and file will pound the drum for judiciary.

Will the enthusiasm last long or will it fade away after a little bit of applause? Since the verdict is against the Opposition leader, BJP functionaries may for some time transform themselves into the court's cheerleaders. It may not be difficult for the ruling class members to understand the nuances of cheerleading as IPL is in full swing.


In this season of bang-bang cricket, Gandhi has achieved a rare hat-trick as the top court has once again pulled up the de facto Congress head. The party workers must be wondering what to do with this feat - whether to showcase it or hide it under the carpet.

If hushed up, Congressmen may end up dealing with another loose shot in the near future. Hence, better they tighten up loose ends. Or else, BJP cheerleaders will know no bounds and the crowd may even turn boisterous.

Whatever the end result, both parties, and others too, must ponder over the implications of their leaders' actions because the Indian Parties' League is keenly poised.
