After Gurmeet Ram Rahim has been locked away, the focus must shift on Asaram, another monster in the garb of spiritual Guru. The Supreme Court has expressed its annoyance to the BJP state government in Gujrat for going slow on Asaram's trial. On an individual level, practically every political leader has flirted with these so called ''Godmen'' at one time or another. But because of its undying commitment to Hindutva, the BJP is mired neck-deep in the murky affairs of these forces of darkness. From the prime minister downward, every major leader has eulogized these people for the simple reason that since these (un) holy men command such a stranglehold over the minds of the gullible, they can always come in handy in mobilizing a rich harvest of votes.
