Captain Sahab,
I do appreciate your sense of frustration and anguish in the way things are happening in the BJP.
After giving some thoughts to the happenings of the last few weeks, I feel that it is a result of the clash between the younger generation and the old guards. How far the old guards will be relevant post election is yet to be seen . It is perhaps the expectation of the younger generation of voters to see new , young and dynamic leaders post the next general elections . Another aspect worth noting is that the religious agenda is not being given any prominence in the electoral speeches of the major political parties including the BJP. As the election date is coming nearer the various political parties are busy projecting their election agenda and at the same time trying to form alliances. However, as the things stand at present the chances of the BJP emerging as the largest party is almost certain. The only uncertain aspect is whether it will be able to cross the 273 mark on its own or will fall short of that number.
If the unexpected does happen, the Government will be a strong one free from coalition compulsions. In that case, some drastic measures for better governance of the nation cannot be ruled out.
[/quote]Hi Ravish, I should make it clear that I do not hero worship any politician or political party. My interests lie in stronger vibrant economy in India, to some extent lesser disparity between the crorepathi's and the people who cannot afford two square meals in a day, stability, honesty and corrupt free India. Do I seek too much? No, not at all. These are fundamental to progress of any country. You cannnot forge ahead with 40% of your population below the poverty line and uneducated. BJP is just another political party that has existed for quite some time without making any impression in the Indian fabric. I happened to read a few analysis of the political scenario in India. Two of them caught my imagination - There are three politicians in the fray for Prim minister-ship - One a Bluffer, the other a duffer and the third a muffler. Do I need to put the names to these adjectives or you are wise enough to have understood? And the second analysis was the voters are of three kinds - one those who will vote Congress because their fathers and forefathers did the same (brand loyalty), two those believe Modi and party will bring political stability to the country and the third kind who believe that before a political stability there will be a period of far reaching political upheaval of the sort seen in AAP. I do not have a political allegiance but don't be surprised if the pundits are proven wrong. AAP wave is deeper than the Modi wave as I view it.
