Congress has hardly been in the opposition. So whether it supports government for the sake of country is not tested much. However we do remember during Kargil incursion which was a failure of the Central government was not turned into an issue but complete support was provided for the war. Only after the war coffin scandal was taken up.
As far as BJP is concerned, it has been in the opposition for a longer time. Vajpayee supported Indira during Bangladesh war and even represented Congress government at UN during Narasimha Rao's regime. However it never supported the government resolution of IK Gujral for women's reservation when there was division in UF. In the national interest Vajpayee never supported Gujral but mocked whether Gujral needed his help in his speech in Parliament. The current leadership of BJP is even worse. BJP's initiative of Value Added Tax when implemented by UPA, BJP states refrained from implementing it for a few years but after the dust settled and the rest of India implemented they quietly followed suit. same thing applies to nuclear deal drama and many other issues. They feel opposition is voted to oppose irrespective of country's interests. When in power they behave differently. Vajpayee never touched the Bofors file for 6 years. But now they are vocal about the issue.

It is the Congress which opposed reservation for women. BJP supported Indira Gandhi after Pokhran 1, during 1971 war, and it is because of Vajpayee's remarks on the Texas accession that the US has thereafter never questioned Kashmir's accession. What is very disturbing and disgusting is Digvijay Singh's remarks that the Congress would never join hands with the BJP even for the sake of the nation. That means for Congress the family is more important than anything else- even the nation. This is very very disgusting.
Congress can not work with BJP even for sake of the nations - Nation always has lower prority to them.
First priority is to make minority and backword cast to feel insecure and inferior, make sure they never come to mainstream and remain their votebank so that they can peacefully transfer nation's money to swiss banks
82 Year old Bhudavoo LK Advani will lick anyone's feet to become PM at-least for a day. Otherwise, he won't get peace in a tomb next to Jinnah's in Lahore.

My mentally challenged clown son, dont be so desperate to reveal your mental deficiency. Convey my deep love to m o m.
what else can you expect from a party which is in control of Italian lady. Congress is not a political party but a mafia and leader of this mafia is Nehru family.
If some one talk of uniform law for all citizen of India then is it narrow mindedness? If some one say that India is not a NATION IN MAKING but a ancient nation , is it narrow mindedness. It will be a sad day for indian nationalism if BJP decideds to work with congress

absolutely right Mr Rasheed, for people like you Land has already been given in 1947 itself.why dont you go there? it is a Heaven under Islamic scholars Talibanees, LETs, ISIs and so on. you can serve them and they will show you the path for heaven and you can enjoy the life with 72 virgins
If CONGRESS & BJP comes together, other parties i.e. the THIRD & FORTH FRONT will get a lesson. The Govt. can work peacefully for next 5 years they should work only for the Development of the Nation. The issues between both parties should be kept aside for 5 years
The fact is that we have to put the nation first. in this test congress failing badly and where as BJP is ready to forget any idealogical differences and work for nation. the present world scenerio is such that as a nation we have to be together to face both economic meltdown as well as international/ internal terrorism. Hope congress can understand this.
you talk in favor of muslims (for vote?), then it is called as secularism.. if you talk in favor of any issues about majoroty Hindus..then it is Communalism..
in congres view... SIMI [with all its connections to Pakistan] is a secular org. RSS with nationalist ideology with no track record of any hatredness to other religions is communal...
there are many definitions exists for secularism in India... congress secularism, left secularism, mulayam secularism, mayawati secularism, lalu secularism, devegowda secularism, karunanidhi secularism etc etc etc..

BJP speaks in favor of Hindus?
Dear, Congress, the Left, Regional parties.. all are full of Hindus. BJP is not the exclusive holder of Hindu identity.
BJP does not speak for Hindus. It speaks only for those who are enamored of its extermist pseudo-Hindu 'ideology'. The majority of Hindus are not extremist hate-filled sectarian fundemtalists like the BJP outfits. BJP is the most anti, non-Hindu party possible. They want to destroy this country through their sectarian divisive cruel politics. The majority of this countrfy are Hindus, and you describe the one party which wants to destroy their country to be speaking for Hindus?

RSS / BJP do not need certificate from you...

Readers, please take note of the two statements - that of BJP and that of Congress. While the BJP says that it can work with Congress if national interests so demand, Congress' Digvijay Singh says that Congress can't work with BJP even for the sake of nation. Yet, Diggy says that Congress is liberal and BJP is narrow-minded. His first sentence contradicts the second. For BJP, national interests are supreme, for the sake of which it can dissolve its differences with other parties. For the Congress, even national interests don't matter. All that matters is Muslim votes.

For power and implementation of its hidden agenda i.e. elemination of people of all other religions except hindus, they can join hands with any body. This has been seen in several states. But congress will not join hands with any communal party for gaining power. This is the difference between the two parties dear, try to understand.

all parties except BJP are fighting for m0slem votes. why? because m0slems tend to vote in herds.
