BJP's dilemma

Anand Rai, the Indore-based doctor who blew the lid off the Vyapam scam, has become the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Achilles heel. During television debates and live chat shows, representatives of the BJP call every critic and every voice of dissent a Congress 'plant' but they appear helpless before Rai. By his own admission, Rai had been associated with the medical wing of the BJP in Indore and participated in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) activities between 2005 and 2013. He learnt the principle of 'nation first' at an RSS shakha, he told a television channel recently.
