What will be the future of senior woman leaders of the BJP like Sushma Swaraj and Sumitra Mahajan? Both in their 70s have been denied Lok Sabha tickets as per the party's diktat that those above 70 should retire. Both Sushma and Sumitra Tai (elder sister) took this gracefully and opted out of the contest. They did not also make an issue of this.
Sushma Swaraj carved out a niche for herself by responding to Twitter requests from NRIs and Indians stranded abroad. As a foreign affairs minister, she has worked very hard in forging lasting relations with the leaders of various countries. The BJP leadership is said to be planning to suitably rehabilitating both the stalwarts. They would be made governors of big states and would thus be able to contribute to mite. This will also quell the criticism that the BJP has ignored their solid contributions. If sources are to be believed, they would be made governors of states like Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. There is also a talk that leaders like Bandaru Dattatreya too could be rehabilitated in a similar way.
