Followig the brutal attack on the students and teachers of the Jawahar Lal Nehru University [JNU] by fifty to seventy masked goons within their campus. Right after the brutal attack, videos surfaced with men and even one woman masked with lathis, rods and acid bottles in their hands intimidating students of the university. Soon after protests emerged outside the main gate of the university, condemning the attacks and the inaction of the police and security forces who were allegedly present inside the university campus. As per a statement of the Registrar of the JNU, he termed it as a clash with the context of the ongoing JNU protest against the fee hike by the university administration. It was said that the left party people resisted the registration into the new winter session at the prescribed fee by the university administration.

The new three-day government of the BJP with Devendra Fadnavis as the chief minister is certainly not unprecedented in the history of the political party. In 1996, when it was the first Hindu nationalist government in India, it collapsed in just 13 days. The prime minister in power for 13 days was Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee who resigned before facing a vote of confidence in the Parliament.

In the given situations, who would say the Congress is exaggerating in demanding the resignation of Governor Koshiyari. Legally the game is in favour of the Governor, given the immunity under Article 361 but morally he is now pulled from all sides. Given the record, it is not likely for the BJP to end the melodrama on this note. What becomes interesting is what more desperate measures are left with the BJP to reveal to the world in their hunger for power. So is operation lotus has a game over or has it paused to hit back the political fora harder?
