Regardless of his share of controversies, his seemingly swagger behaviour and steady but passionate ambition, Pramod Mahajan ( and no one else perhaps) did not deserve to be murdered by his very own brother.
For the family, as also for the Mahajan clan, it means a complete reversal of fortunes, with one sibling no more and other, all set for a rigorous imprisonment and perhaps ( though one hopes not) a bitter relationship between the surviving members of the two families.
For the BJP, it is a curse, with far reaching consequences...both in Maharashtra and at the Centre. Pramod was the umbilical cord that connected BJP with Shiv Sena to an extent and he was the financial life line for the BJP since many industrial houses and rich pockets, veered towards the party thanks to their personal equations with the leader.
My guess is, Pramod Mahajan, was the best bet for the BJP and with him gone, BJP will become a more vitriolic communal mouthpiece, since in all probability, Narendra Modi will emerge as the tallest leader of second generation as the events unfold. That he knows he has a chance can be gauged from the huge pots of Gold he chipped in during the last Bihar elections.
Are we as Indians ready for Modi to take the giant leap.
Wish Mahajan was alive to answer this, for all of us.
Bless his soul.
