Much like the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) margadarshak mandal, which hasn’t had a single meeting till date, the party’s disciplinary action committee appears to have become another vestigial organ of the BJP.
Its members, BJP veterans L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, are often seen “guiding” the party from other platforms. Joshi recently advised the party publicly that Vice Chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University Jagadesh Kumar be sacked for being inefficient. The BJP-led central government, however, chose to ignore Joshi’s counsel.
The fate of the disciplinary action committee, comprising Balrampur MP Satya Deo Singh and Guwahati MP Bijoya Chakravarty, is same.
