It is rather ironic that today’s Times of India carries an article on what is called ‘The Lotus Effect’. According to this article the Lotus plant produces wax on it’s leaves because of which water and dirt particles glide off it’s surface making the plant clean. Symbolically, BJP may seem to indicate that Jaswant Singh’s expulsion may have left it a bit more clean than what it was though I may not agree with this entirely. Now whether Jaswant Singh represents a dirt particle or water is for anyone to guess, although BJP treated him as dirt.
