Basavaraj: I don’t need to read the history you are mentioning. Being in 50s, I am old enough to remember all the events that led to growth of BJP and how my family came to support BJP.
BJP (previously jansangh) was the only principled party we could support against Congress. When Congress did Emergency, they lost our votes and it took me (my family still won’t vote congress) 30+ years to get around to voting for that party!
There were lot of right reasons for BJP’s growth, and it is much better at internal democracy than congress.
However, Advani’s politics has always been confrontational as versus co-operational. He was always good in Opposition, never good when they ruled.
He simply lost my trust, when he didn’t stand up and tell the party to support the nuclear deal. If he was decisive that’s when he should’ve shown it.

If you notice both the vanquished parties, the communists and the bjp, have chosen to retain their leadership. i think it is rational.
#1. too much dust, fog and smoke right now, just after the elections, to understand the true purport of this mandate.
#2. too early to make the critical decision of choosing the next successor. must better to retain tainted leadership for now, and quell any unnecessary fallout, rather than make a hasty change in the heat of the moment.
i am pretty sure both karat and advani are on their way out. both parties are only buying time to rationally internalize what happened and based on that choose the next course of action.
for the good of the country i hope both the communists and the bjp get back on their feet.

notice both of these are cadre based idealogical parties and would rather make their decisions in their own image and understanding and not be swayed by outsiders.

Advani clung on to his home minister’s chair when Parliament attack happened.
Modi clung on to his chair when the worst Gujarat riots happened.

It is generally considered nice to be a little humble at the time of victory. But I do not think that is the style of the congress and its cronies and churumuri is certainly one of them.

You don’t need to teach humility to Congress.
There was zilch celebrations in Cong party or by Cong cadres throughout the country. No loud street celebrations. No firecrackers. No exchanging sweets. No ruckus. No chest thumping. No loud talk.

I can visualise what would have happened if BJP had got 200 seats. They would have gone to town speaking garrulously and endlessly on TV on how BJP is now the greatest party on earth.
And of course, the country would have erupted in noisy revelry. Firecrackres, garlands, music, sweets, the works

This is such a bland exercise and I know it will have zero effect on folks like Simple and AG – But here goes:
Sonia had a majority, she refused to become PM
– So what? Is that a concern when any Congress PM cannot lift a little finger without her say so? Even foreign dignitaries know to stop at her residence before they even meet senior leaders in office.
Rahul could have become cabinet minister in 2004, he refused to become one.
– Again, so what? Please name ONE cabinet minister who has more power than Rahul in a Congress regime.
Rahul could have easily become PM this time, he refused to become.
– Simple nonchalantly underlines Rahul’s power if not prestige.
Yes he could have. But the Gandhi family has not survived in power so long by showing childish urgency. The family had to commit to a Prime Ministerial candidate in MM Singh. It would have looked stupid had it dumped Singh for Rahul after all the brouhaha they made of Singh’s stature.
Vilas Rao Deshmukh resigned after Mumbai blasts
– Bull crap! This propagandistic lie will never go away it seems. Ram Gopal Verma was Deshmukh’s nemesis. Please don’t make a virtue of necessity. No one would have demanded his resignation if he had behaved responsibly.
Shivaraj Patil resigned after Mumbai blasts.
– Does this actually require an answer? Would Simple have kept Shivraj Patil? Shivraj Patil resigned on his own?? I was on planet earth when this happened. Where were you Simple?
When charming and polished folks show such exemplary behavior and show absolutely “no” vulgar greed for power, what can you expect of lesser mortals who are not even of comparable pedigree? ;)
AG will continue with his ridiculous inanities because he cannot argue on any kind of merit.

Doddi Buddi – Please don’t hang yourself just yet Sir. AG is not asking for so much sacrifice.
Since it has come to it, let me tell you that any girl in this country will pray for Muthalik when faced with the Taliban. You know it. AG knows it. And I certainly can appreciate this simple truth.
One attack on a pub in Mangalore does not a Taliban make. A hoodlum? Yes.
So what about the rave parties. Did we not discuss that in a thread on Churumuri? I suggest you revisit that piece and then we can discuss how “wrong” the police were to disrupt these “parties”!
So, enough of this nonsense already! I can understand criticism based on reasonable arguments, but not self-flagellation like this. This only aides loose girakis like AG in their wet dreams!

1. The whole world knows that Sangh Parivar is the real power behind the BJP. No BJP PM can lift a little finger without the consent of the Sangh parivar.
So all your nihilistic arguments go out of the window.
2. Rahul Gandhi could have chosen the easy way out and parachuted from top into the PMs post. But he’d rather work from bottom up. Without his grassroots work for the organisation in Uttar Pradesh, Cong would still have been party no four in that state.
Rahul has worked meticulously in the past five years, carefully avoiding media glare.
Rajiv Gandhi Parachuted to the PM’s post. But Rahul is different.
3. The nuclear deal was the brainchild of MMS. it was MMS who put his foot down and said that he would rather resign than be blackmailed by the left. It was Sonia Gandhi who supported MMS in his steadfast determination to clinch the nuclear deal.
There is no use if ur severely conditioned brain continues to believe that Sonia controls MMS.
In fact it is a perfect arrangement for Cong. Sonia and Rahul take care of the party, while MMS with his expertise and experience runs the govt.
it is this perfect arrangement that led to the victory of congress at the hustings, leaving a badly mauled BJP way behind.
Unforutunately BJP does not have such a perfect arrangement. Everybody who is a nobody wants to become a Cabinet Minister with nobody willing to work for the party.
No wonder the party has started to decay.
No wonder BJP has regressed to become a regional party once again.
Thanks to people like Yediyurrapa (who should be PM designate of BJP next election) the flag of BJP is kept fluttering.
I cant think of a single instance where a BJP minister or PM has shown his willingness to give up a minister’s post owning moral responsibility.
Jagdish Tytler, Sajjan Kumar…..Cong denied tickets to these guys. People of Delhi responded with a resounding thumbs up to Congress decision. Both the candidates who replaced tytler and sajjan won with 1.5 lakh plus margin.

BJP completely messed it up by trying to go over(t)ly Hindutva in the last minute.

I agree but there were a few copy cat attacks elsewhere too!

Otherwise you will see engineered riots and prompt dismissal of elected state governments by the new dispensation. So be careful in these matters. I am sure there were excesses in Mangalore and the coastal belt with regard to ‘community relations’ and there has been some ‘course correction’ and that is why the people have voted for BJP. But good governance is a must!
