Sushma Swaraj is currently the Deputy Leader of  Opposition. Perhaps, the decision to move Sushma up in the ladder angered many leaders in the party.

"The situation in the party is volcanic. When there is a volcano, even a small spark can flare it further," Sushma Swaraj told the media in Bhopal last week while on her way to her Parliamentary constituency Vidisha. She refused to say anything on the subject, insisting that it'd not be prudent on her part to hold forth on an issue which has exposed the factional faultlines within the party.

Along with Arun Jaitley, Swaraj has been at the receiving end of a vicious blame game in the saffron party.
