De-Coding Arun Shourie

Journalist,Author turned Politician "Arun Shourie" one of the very few "Right Wing" (RW) Intellectual's who carved a space for himself , who holds no "Guns barred" when expressing himself. Then 2009 when BJP Lost LS elections, Arun blasted the BJP and its factionalism in the Delhi and even wanted RSS to take over the BJP!

Run upto 2014 LS elections "Arun" was an Inside track to Mr Modi with regular meetings centering around  Black Money, Banking and National Security. Almost everyone assumed that Arun Shourie would be the Finance Minister after path-breaking Majority led by Modi.
Mr Arun shourie did have few meeting before with Mr Modi with Press coverage and many more without unreported! What transpired between the 2 remains a big question!

Cross Section of Financial experts opinion was that Mr Modi was not impressed with Arun Shourie's Ideas on "Banking" reforms which was the backbone of the Finance Ministry, and all speculation of Mr Arun Shourie getting a "Key Berth" faded and given a quiet burial..

   

Pattern

Is there a Pattern in the attack against Modi and Its Government... Unlike another Erstwhile Intellectual Leader "Ram Jethmalini" Arun Shourie is one of the blue-eyed boy of RSS ( the one is Swamy > from RSS baiter to RSS Apologist who came a full circle). Even today RSS quotes his book "Missionaries in India" when it attacks the NGO and Missionaries involved in Religious conversions!

Arun Shourie who went hammer and tongs against Muslim community and Ambedhkar in the Past is lending his voice now to the likes of Julio Ribiero! Why the change of heart Mr Arun Shourie?

What gives away Mr Arun Shourie is attack limited to the 3 or the Trimurti aka Modi,Shah and Arun Jaitley. His hate for Arun Jaitley is well understood for Jaitley is occupying the Ministry that was supposedly be handled by Mr Arun Shourie. But Why Modi and Shah in that list?

The hit Job by Arun Shourie comes in at a regular Interval and the attacks are mixed with reality and frustration. Be it the Patel Statue Issue, Bullet Train, Black Money, Foreign Policy,Disinvestment and Managing Headlines kinda stuff.
TROIKA

Coming to Pattern of these hit jobs one cannot stop comparing Swamy and Arun Shourie,, both are blue eyed boys of Sangh.. Swamy tirade of attacks started with Rafael deal, Raguram Rajan,Arvind Subramaniam and of course Arun Jaitley..The common target for both Swamy and Arun Shourie is Arun Jaitley.

Recall during scathing attack by Swamy, RSS never even attempted to rein him in! Trying to decipher these 2 Intellectuals attack one cannot stop speculating that are these two voices are on behalf of RSS? Which cannot openly air its disenchantment against growing Modi popularity with his trusted Lieutenants Shah and Jaitley. Recently there were Sly reference that Ms.Sushma Swaraj is not getting her due and is being reduced to Just another Minister.

Modi who has come long way is capable enough to understand which is valid critique and which are Just rants.  

Speculation : Recently there are many hit jobs on Manohar Parrikar as well from Ajai Shukla Journalist turned Arms Broker and made good fortune on almost any defence deal during UPA I&II. Ajai Shukla is the brother of Arun Shourie's wife. With CBI going after the Money trail on the Agustawestland, Ajai Shukla is the hottest Candidate in the Augusta Patrakar list

Reasons for Arun Shourie Outbursts

Sore Loser
Covering for Ajai Shukla
Voicing on behalf of RSS
Other
Please Specify:
What am I

Is Mr Shourie pre-empting the inevitable happening to Ajai Shukla so to give a perfect cover and later on cry its a Witch hunt for slamming the GOI?  Is this speculation a very long shot? Or Mr Shourie is Just another loser who is frustrated that he being denied the Plump Post which he thought he had it in the bag? Or Is he Voicing on behalf of RSS.. well lets keep speculating...

Whatever these soundbites Mr Arun Shourie gives stands scrutiny for utmost a day or 2 and then the Politics goes as usual!
