BJP continues to win Gujarat and lose India. It needs to understand just this and it may gain some relevance.

Why BJP Lost?
by fokatsingh on May 18, 2009 10:09 PM  | Hide replies

I belongs to a small town (as other 80% Indians), what concern me and what's not.

1. I need communal harmony in my neighbourhood; I have nothing to do with international terrorism.
2. I need a job to earn my living; I have nothing to do with Swiss banks and black money.
3. I need good food, water and electricity; I have nothing to do with foreign or economical policies.
4. I need road to approach my village; I have nothing to do with Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
5. I need a local MP who works for us; I have nothing to do with a weak PM on Delhi.

Simplest problems of life, why the think tank of BJP is unable to understand this?

I don’t have any faith in congress as they could not deliver my needs in 55 yrs of their rule but the reason BJP lost this election is that they are not even talking about my needs.

Just my thoughts…

They talked , but you did not listen because you were walking in a mall, watching movies or glamorized watching Priyanka Robert Vadra in tight dresses on the TV and newspapers.

Has Congress been able to fulfill your wishlist in 5 years? Have you got what you are looking for in 5 years? If not, then you should had rejected them.

Did you ever think why you did not get these in 5 years? Are you sure the party which did not give these things to you in 5 years will give you in next 5 years so that you voted them?

Can't understand why you are angry with Advani. Are you sad about their defeat?

Whose supporter you are? BJP or Congress?

If you are a BJP supporter, then support Advani and BJP and place your suggestions.

If you are Congress supporter then criticism of Advani has no value.

U belong to typical BJP mentality, where there is no value for democracy. And people of India have punished them well in 2 successive elections. Advani's dream of becoming PM will be fullfilled only in his next JANAM. !!

Disturbing Comments ... Get up India
by RB on May 18, 2009 09:28 PM  | Hide replies

It is very disturing to read review comments on rediff articles.
It seems half of the communal comments are entered by Pakistanis here with variuos names. It is easy to guess which ones are entered by them.
But what concerns me as a young Indian most is that there are some Indians also in this fight who disrespect others religions.

To my hindu friends:
Please dont critisize our own countrymen on the basis of religion. It is not in our blood and and the current election result speaks volumes about that so lets not spoil up things.

To Indian christian friends,
Some comments from you are too harsh and at many times have provoked me and I'm sure would provoke other yound indians also. I just have a small suggestion to you that you expect every others to be moderate and secular while majority of you follow a very extremist lifestyle (I have many christian friends and I know that). I dont want to point out individual examples. It is a question you should ask to your heart. Please do not get me wrong. I'm not criticising, I'm just letting you aware that the way you criticise BJP is just too harsh and they are far from what you say they are. At the same time I'm not saying that they are good, they are just another bunch of politicians but pls dont criticise them on the basis of religion.

And to Pakis:
Pls get your own house in order first rather than peeping all the time into India.

Bad decision
by theindialover on May 18, 2009 09:20 PM  | Hide replies

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.

Show hwo different you are. To whom you are standing for? get some media help.

BJP has now time to rebuild itself.Advani is the best suited person for this job. His experience and ability is unquestioned and unparallel.

BJP did raise Amarnath, Sethusamudram or Mumbai Terror. But Media put it on its 10th page. The first page used to have Rahul Gandhi in Jeans/Kurta and Priyanka Robert Vadra in Jeans and tight sleeveless top to attract young voters. Mumbai Terror gave a lot of sympathy to the Govt instead of going against it. Media projected that it was not a Govt failure but a success as they caught one of the terrorists.

The economic slowdown, jobless losses, Mumbai terror worked for UPA Govt, istead of Going against it. People in urban areas thought that the going with the current regime to solve the issue. The heart operation of PM created enormous sympathy for him. I know how many of his critics became his sympathesizer overnight after the operation.

The real issues like Price rise, national safety and amarnath /sethusamudram was mocked by media (cnn-ibn and NDTV ean a campaign against BJP).

Yet BJP was able to secure 116 seats agaunst all odds means they have deep roots and will be a formidable and only force to counter the ruling coalition.
