There is unease in the Sangh parivar. Vajpayee loyalists claim that the 'rss has been contained', once Vajpayee brings them back to power Advani will be just another,if very important,minister on his team and that the 'transformation of the BJP into a party of governance' is an Advani-Vajpayee project. As proof, they cite the changed emphasis of Keshubhai Patel and Kalyan Singh,both considered hardliners till late,on governance. But then, revivalism isn't so easy to bury. Nor is there an obvious desire on the part of a cadre weaned on Hindutva to do so. Asked if he was in favour of jettisoning the party's 'distinctiveness', a BJP general secretary told Outlook, 'When a smoker is sitting in a room full of non-smokers, he restrains himself even if the urge comes. And lights up when they've left the room!' Others have a stock reply: 'Why discuss what is not on at the moment?' The prospect of power may have blunted the Vajpayee vs Sangh edge for now, but if the BJP returns to power, any precipitate move may begin the battle afresh. Say, if Vajpayee moves to change the BJP agenda, or the vhp goes ahead with its Ayodhya plans by 2001. Insiders concede it is impossible to say how this will turn out.
