'First, of course, would be the Sanjay Joshi tapes episode.
'An RSS pracharak’s sex life is not a subject of mass obsession or even interest. It is not going to win or lose the BJP too many votes. Even so, that a Sangh code — pracharaks voluntarily commit themselves to celibacy — has probably been breached is an issue that will exercise and anguish insiders.
'What has not helped is that, over the past week, Sangh and party circles have been swirling with rumours of other such tapes, allegedly featuring other functionaries. In the end, the rumours may turn out to be only rumours and completely untrue. This may be just a one-off deviation. (((Oh yeah. You bet. Sure it is.)))
'Yet the fact that these stories have currency at all, that they are being circulated in an atmosphere of mutual suspicion and intrigue cannot help morale. Individuals make mistakes, and can be punished or forgiven. What is more difficult to deal with is the idea that ‘honey traps’ may have been used as instruments of factional politics, perhaps blackmail too — even if in only one state.
(((Imagine yourself actually running video honey traps against prominent Indian politicians. Holy men, to boot – Hindutva apparatchiks sworn to celibacy. Not once. A couple of dozen times, maybe. Who would have the nerve for that? Man, even Bunty and Babli would quail at such audacity.)))
(((Where are the rest of the tapes?)))
