The Ex Senior Officers with the BJP have a lot to Answer on OROP

One general who was the  Chief of general Staff of the army, approached the Supreme Court asking that a review be carried out  of his age, for the simple reason he wanted another year as army chief. He is general VK Singh. the same man is nowhere to be seen at any rally of ex servicemen as he is a minister in the Union cabinet. What has he to say PUBLICLY on OROP? He can go to the Supreme Court on a mundane matter, yet when it comes to fighting for a legitimate demand of OROP , this general is missing. He can say that he " privately" is pressing for OROP. But this is neither here nor there and shows that he has not the inner guts to face reality.
He is not the only one and there are many more sitting in an embrace with the BJP . There is another Colonel who is a minister of I&B and he is also talking with 2 voices. None of the so called generals with the BJP attended the latest Maha Sammelan on OROP on 14 June 2015. I have no hesitation in saying that these men  have let the man in uniform down.
The future is hard and rocky and the ESIS must not put their eggs in the basket of the BJP. There are men like Arun Jaitley who probably thinks he is a king maker, little realising that he is in reality a small man.
In the olden days a promise made is to be honored. Nobody was holding a gun at the back of Narendra Modi when he made all those tall promises. Now he says the issue is " Complex". What a way to wriggle out of a promise.
Modi can still redeem himself and make a name in history, but it requires a firm attitude and put men like Jaitley in their place . Can he do it ?
