Everything from the BJP comes from India, the money, people, and developments. Congress is now failing because it is controlled from abroad, the developments are for abroad( the trip to Israel while children are still starving in Andhra). Just my observation about congress: I noticed congress politicians are more selfish than other politicians in India, except for marxists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-38934248553411340482008-05-30T20:40:00.000+05:302008-05-30T20:40:00.000+05:30The young people have a positive attitude on BJP. ...The young people have a positive attitude on BJP. It would be tough for a party to play only on the hindutva card in the South. BJP is seen as a party which could bring growth faster than any other party.

Anyway, the BJP should see this as a golden opportunity.

People like Rahul Gandhi will never be able to salvage the Congress lacking both the political acumen and the charisma to be a national leader. The BJP once in power, will conduct political "experiments" like Godhra given the right atmosphere to check if the people are polarised enough to completely abandon their mental faculties and kill each other in the name of religion.ragshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206768079226759526noreply@blogger.com
