BJP has emerged as an alternative, and after the nanga nach of AK49, the only alternative…
I often wonder what is wrong with BJP…. OK lots. Then let us see what does that mean….
a) BJP is hindu — Let us believe it for once. But in a country with 80% hindu.. how is one categorized as hindu or not hindu… The only way I can think of not being hindu is by going to a mosque, wear a muslim topi, start eating goat… BJP is hindu as it is a main stream party of a nation with 80% hindus. PERIOD and there can be nothing wrong with that…..
What makes me wonder sometimes that while minorities rights have to be protected, no doubt, the majority also has a right. Any, an under lying assumption for minority rights is that as we live, minority rights get squashed in the natural process (democracy) so they need protection…. Unfortunately, the majority in this country (the so called majority) sometimes wonders if they would have been better of as a minority…
b) BJP is non-secular — For once, let us be in agreement… . There can be nothing better then the TOI editorial on date (8/4/2013), wherein secularism is defined. How does one become secular .. very similar to the answer above…
On the above two points— let me for once pickup Pravin Togadai and make him the PM, or take your pick on the most fierce HIndu you can think off… What will he do ….
Will he kill all minorities in India…., will he ban education for minorities……, will he give free food to hindus……., will he divide the country once again on religious ground….., Will India loose its secular status and declare Hinduism as the state religion, WHAT IS IT THAT IS BEING FEARED…. COME ON LET US BE LOGICAL.. each one of us will have a better world to stay in… and… probably a bigger pie to eat from….
For everyone else, if there are any… which I doubt.. INDIA as and always has been a better place for guests then for its residents…
c) BJP is corrupt .… As we stand today, it is a matter of opportunities. BJP has not had as many opportunities as CONGRESS… but what are we fearing… KYA yeh congress ke bhi baap niklenge… I donot feel so …. We have lot more conscientious people/organizations around….. Transparency international, something called AAP, hence fear not … if if they want they cannot be more corrupt then Congress..
d) BJP has no vision — OK, but who has a vision…
e) BJP has no leaders — BJP leaders are there own making, unlike born to big families.
Let us vote for BJP this time and give them a comfortable majority to show us their metal, and in the ensuring 4 years prepare a good enough replacement for them for the next term… not be in a hurry like what AAP did this time….
