Leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj is trying hard to build an image that will help her replace BJP's senior-most leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee. At the same time she has pushed her arch rival Arun Jaitley to being in the position of LK Advani.
The strategy is becoming more than evident now with the events of the past few days. Sushma had taken the higher path and talked of reconciliation when it came to CVC P J Thomas controversy. She tacitly allowed Jaitley to attack the Congress and Prime Minister Dr Mamohan Singh.
This single act ensured that she made herself out to be the bigger leader amongst the two. She is trying to pitch for becoming a leader that can very well lead a NDA government at the Centre. Being a woman and now a supposed person who is willing to listen and mend fences with the other side she may even succeed in this endeavour. Other BJP leaders, with Arun Jaitley at the top, need to watch out for her image and leadership building exercises. This has just begun.
The CVC episode may not have damaged the UPA government as much as it has benefitted one person.... Sushma Swaraj.
