Pramod Mahajan, Arun Jaitley, Uma Ji, Venkaih Naidu and above all P.K. Advani were responsible for lop-headed, myopic electoral campaign strategy that brought down N.D.A. during last general election. Of course Messers George Fernandes, Jayalalitha Ji, Mamta Didi etc. etc. weren't helping matters by getting themselves all wrapped up in self created controversies. Pramod is dead and gone, Uma is on a satygraha, Venkaiah is not even on the reserve bench. Only Arun Jaitley redeemed himself by orchestrating recent electoral gains in few states for BJP. But what has Advani done other than to practice rehotorism? He is too embroiled in the politics of the 'run-up' to an electoral event to be prepared for the actual battle and deal with the results. He is the bugle-man in the battle field not the general capable of leading the army to diginified victory. I am a beleiver of good things that N.D.A. brought about in our country, but with Advani as the next P.M. candidate from N.D.A., I would rather sit out of the voting.
