As the budget session concluded the true colours of the party that styles itself as `principled' got exposed throughly. The boycott of Parliament by the BJP has sent some significant messages to the nation. First and foremost is that the BJP is scared of facing Parliament. Why? Because it had too many skeletons in its cupboard, which had begun tumbling down on the floor of Parliament with amazing regularity. Secondly, the party is too disunited and fraction-ridden to present a compact face in Parliament. Finally, it has no answers to the wide variety of questions staring at its face. It is beyond anyone's imagination what purpose the boycott served for the BJP. On the other hand, it backfired so badly that one of its big poll associates, the Telugu Desam Party, chose to break away from boycott and return to Parliament. That incidentally also marked the end of an association which will cost the BJP very dearly in Andhra Pradesh. That was the only result of the boycott. One can count only on the BJP for such self-defeating political strategies!
