Every Management operates through both line and staff functions .So it was with the BJP, that came into being as a fledgling line unit after the Parivar decided to set up political shop. .It took four decades for the party to be a going concern . But its umbilical cord remains joined and as a result the staff function continues to often prevail over the line responsibilities . Ministers, while striving at line targets in Delhi need also to act on staff advisory from Nagpur.Their performance is assessed at both of these directive nodes.The PM is no exception . That is the way the organisation is structured and has remained so, in or out of power. Hardly months into a position of enviable degree of political ascendancy, the Parivar can not afford relaxing its control over the staff function. Not that it cares less for a possible dent in its party functioning and governance ,but more on zealously guarding the ideological tenets that has been its raison d'etre.
It was no different in UPA-II, where the Congress high command eclipsed its own PM,pandered to the likes of NAC and took away his power of speech. The Sangh on the contrary, seems to have sanctioned the PM little else besides speech ! Despite this ,Dr Singh did manage to animate reforms that are now being followed by the BJP.But when under a crunch, the Congress abandoned its second term PM . The parivar too may not hesitate to find a scapegoat , should poll promises wither away in bud.
