See this is the problem with Sanghis. Never write the truth. BJP from 2 seats in 1984 went to 180 in 1999 and after that came down to 138 in 2004 and 116 in 2009. If it was not for alliance with JDU BJP's seats in 2009 wud have been in two digits! Bha Ja Pa losing losing congress gaining gaining India shining shining.

h1ndus lack self-preservation

If h1ndus were more self-preserving than what they are, there wouldn't have been a need for h1ndutva ! And there wouldn't have been Moghal rule or British rule or Nehru-family rule.

nehru family election is totally democratic ... the people of India (comprised mainly of h1ndus) vote for congress when they think congress is good for them and votes them out on occasion ... the process is very very democratic and based on freedom of exercise of choice.

not necessarily true..it is said that the democrarcy is as good as the people are educated...otherwise how do you explain close to 20% of MPs having serious criminal background ?
Indians have this infatuation with dynasities...and the congressmen have used the nehru dynasty for their selfcentred power needs..typical example is Arjun singh - useless id*iot just staying in power using the congress/gandhi stamp..outside Congress he cannot win even a municipal election of a town.

Please stop this kind of hypocritical commentary
by Guest on May 18, 2009 10:04 PM  | Hide replies

If you analyze the voting statistics of many constituencies in AP and Tamilnadu, it is clear that something impossible has occurred. This was most probably due to massive fraud by rigging/manipulating the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). We all know that any kind of fraud is possible in India. Having spent many years in the high-tech world, I know how easy it is to break the EVMs’s embedded code and manipulate the voting. This needs serious investigation.

Advani's career analysis
by such jano on May 18, 2009 09:56 PM  | Hide replies

Not a happy feeling to see people commenting disrespectfully on Advani's PM ambitions.I am not a great fan of advani's ledership as such but i beleive Hndus of india let him down. he is definetly a much better leder and patriot that all in musi congress. He spent his entire life is talking pro-hndu stuff, this does not mean he talked anti-musi and hndus punished him for not talking pro-musi stuff. As hndus have genetic difficiency to produce stcophants. many of us are always like that, we like to be praised and we take pride in digging our own grave. Self aclaimed secular has become a big fashion, which often results in self loathing and self condemning.I think apart from social movement to make people think in correct persepective, we also need medical research to treat the defficiency, that anoher thing.

I think if advani ji look back, he would think that had he talked pro-musi language at times, he could have been PM at least twice in his long career.

Actually he did realize it and tried to do that by jinna talk, but than by that time it was too late and he got even ridiculed on that as well.

In the last like Vajpayee he has not earned a penny from his politics and i would always salute him for his selfless service to the nation. Having said that, its best, he resign and lead a happy retired life contributing with his thoughts as and when needed like vajpayee ji.

It's a partisan article. Indian voted only 50% and from within, it just said clearly, "we do not trust regional parties" That's all.

Congress scored at the convenience of SP,BSP,Left, RJD,LJP etc..... They also helped congress in other places against BJP.

BJP also lost it's direction and tried heavily to be secular, etc...

Loan Shark, why don't you read the message of Mr. Tazir below? In Kerala the Churches had openly issued Pastroal Letters against the CPI (M) led left-front and even told that BJP is better than the Left front as they believe in some G0D. The Churches were responsible even for the downfall of the first Communist govt in Kerala headed by the late EMS. Muslim League is also with Congress party.

That is not "communal" for you but when BJP talks about h1ndus, they are communal.

Indian population most communal
by Tazir on May 18, 2009 09:40 PM  | Hide replies

The election results show how communal the Indian polity is. One can talk about a Sikh PM, the Muslim vote, the Church mandate to Christians - these are considered not communal. I am a Muslim and voted for the candidate from the Congress because he happened to be be a worthy one, but in my neighbouring constituency, Powai, Kirit Somaiya from the BJP, whom none can dispute was a most worthy canditate lost only because he happened to be from the BJP and not a single Christian or Muslim voted for him. What can be more partisan than that? They voted him out and that is Mussalam Beimaani, unIslamic and hence most communal. Sad day for India.

We can't blame the Muslims and Christians in Powai (or for that matter elsewhere in India) for their voting preferences because it looks like they were more interested in keeping Advani from coming to power than anything else.

BJP should continue its nationalist and development agenda but soften its Hindutva stance in order to gain the trust of Muslims, Christians, and moderate Hindus.

Very well said sir. I truly respect you as a true Indian. India is so divided. If you see closer you will see that how much money is spent by missionaries and other vote bank buckets for this election.

Less than 50% voted means people are so divided and lost confidence in democracy.

I am a BJP supporter, not because i am a Hindu (Not at all), I believe they can bring up India as a true democracy and develop it.
I look at the BJP ruled states, I see only progress. They have very good eladership. I used to be a congress fan, but look at the leadership.

Only fake Gandhis.

and as far as Rahul is concerned..its voluntary..however if u observe..it was a good move..with his experience he would have been non-effective due to coaltion and he would have lost the goodwill of other congressmen...so for longterm planning it was important to stay out last time...would be interesting to see if he stays out this time too..

This is exactly what i am saying. In India, Hindus are secular in voting and Muslims are communal. This becomes an advantage with parties like Congress who act as secular and grab both Hindu & Muslim votes.BJP is at disadvatage since the muslims dont vote them even if their policies are good/development oriented. Muslims see everyone from the religion point of view and will vote a criminal, goonda, rapist or anyone belonging to their religion or a part of psuedo-secular party. So till the time, the Hindus become communal or Muslims become secular, the Psudo-secular parties will have the advantage and BJP will suffer.

Absolutely

Mr. Advani with all due respect must resign and pave way for younger generation. BJP need more leaders as it started with. Modi is a great choice.

It's very easy to beat congress, as congress won by luck or at the expense of other parties like SP, BSP, LJP, RJD etc...

BJP votes were never splitted. BJP's failure is mainly attributed to it's inability to raise issues like Ram Sethu, or Mumbai terror or anything which Hindu like to hear about.

Even when a hiNdu sanyasini woman got abused, BJP didn't make it an election issue.

Now in effect BJP is all same as congress. So people rather elected congress that's all.

It's because of Modi, BJP lost the Election in 2004. Modi's hardline and the Gujrat riots hurt not only Muslims but also a major portion of sensible Hindus, and the result was that despite running a good government and starting so many developement works, BJP was thrown out of Power. And unfortunately India could not see one of India's best PMs ever, Mr A.B. Vajpayee for another term.
This time, in 2009, Advani was just having a day dream to become PM. At present does BJP have the capability to run a Central Government?
