Joshi pulls up BJP president
BJP president Nitin Gadkari, under fire from the Congress and other Opposition parties over his intemperate political rhetoric in several recent instances, now faced criticism on the same count from a senior leader of his own party.
Former BJP president Murli Manohar Joshi, while speaking to reporters in Varanasi late Sunday night, expressed clear disapproval of Mr Gadkari’s remarks against the Congress and others when he said: “Even strong criticism can be said in appropriate words.” Mr Joshi had initially tried to avoid the issue, but spoke out after persistent questioning by the media.
Earlier on Sunday, Union finance minister Pranab Mukherjee, speaking to reporters at Behrampore in West Bengal, also adopted a similar line, saying that while “making comments on an issue, political leaders should maintain decency”. He did not refer to Mr Gadkari by name.

It is a revelation that one of the senior BJP leaders has the gall to criticise the BJP Party President. Hope this sends a proper signal to Gadkari who has been making quite indecent and improper comments of late. All political parties and public figures should accept and follow the standard of making political comments in a decent manner. Nothing should be below the belt like the comment made by Gujarat Chief Minister Modi about Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi sometime before the 2004 elections.
