Advani scores self-goal.

For all those who support BJP's ideology either directly,covertly or just because they do not have a choice as they dislike Congress's; Advani's recent statements in Pakistan have come as a blow.
As it is BJP is loosing ground on the national scene.(Latest by-poll results has taken the wind out of its campaign to revive)

Recent statements by BJP leaders indicate a total lack of conviction amongst it's own people in their own philosophy. It also brings out in open the prevailing confusion & incoherence within the BJP framework.
The last general elections has hit BJP so bad, it is still clueless. I can almost liken it to what happened to the Indian cricket team after Javed Miandad hit that six of the last ball of Chetan Chauhan's over in Sharjah. It took India more than a decade to regain confidence & beat Pakistan again.(Though India did win one or two matches here & there in between that period).

That six from Miandad exposed the soft side of the Indian mentality. As long as we are winning, we are roaring like tigers.Ditto with BJP.
One unexpected loss, and we just cannot get our acts together soon. In fact we follow that act up with more mistakes till we finally find ourselves in the loosing cycle for many years. Our downslide continues un-arrested.
Coming back to Advani. With that statement on Jinnah, Advani has opened a flood-gate for the ever obliging anti-BJP media to start a fresh tirade against the Sangh Parivar. Advani could have simply alluded to Jinnah & gone on without attaching any positive attributes to him. For a whole lot of Indians, Jinnah still stands as the villian of 1948 partition.
Not leaving any chances to take potshots at Advani, the Congress as usual has come up with those grand comments on secularism.Also, the media commentators found a new topic to stretch for days till something more juicy comes up.

Just when & how BJP will learn the art of tackling & using media effectively?
Today the entire English media is more or less in the Congress kitty. BJP is fighting a loosing battle in the media anyways.And instead of consolidating on that front it comes up with these self goals!

It started with (new-entrant) Smriti Irani making some petty comments on Modi, which was followed up by some uncalled for comments from Sudarshan which was then followed by the comment by former governer of Gujarat,Sunder Singh Bhandari & now this.

Can the anti-BJP media ask for more?

BJP is inadvartently pushing India back in the hand's of the Gandhi dynasty. By the time His Excellency Rahul"ji" Gandhi is set to take on the PM's chair after the stop gap Manmohan makes way, India Inc will be easily available for junior Gandhi to rule. Something i can only wish never happens.(Simply because he does not deserve it)

"Vinash Kale;Vipirit Buddhi" is the apt Indian adage for what's happening with BJP.Meaning, when your time isn't right you just commit more mistakes.

I hope for all those millions of Hindus for whom BJP is the only viable hope against the "green army" of Sonia,Lalu,Paswan,Chaterjee,Media etc.,that the BJP is able to come to terms with defeat & quickly get into the act before its too late.

We cannot afford another 5 years of UPA. We are doomed as a nation & as a people if this continues for a decade.I do not see a problem with Congress ruling us again. The real problem is Lalu & Communists.

They have already made a mess of West Bengal & Bihar.As long as they are in power, they have the potential to destroy other states/regions of the country as well.

It has taken India more than 4 decades to come out of that Nehruvian model.It might take us less than half a decade to set the clocks back.

At the cost of sounding a pessimist, i feel this government can only survive but it can never deliver with the kind of people it is carrying in it's boat. And India is (was?) on a growth map from last few years. Six years of NDA rule brought us significant economic success if not too many miracles.

With Congress-Left combination in power now, cynics like me have reasons to believe that we might start hearing the terms "Hindu growth-rate"& "socialism" & "Lal Salaam" all over again.The policies pursued by Manmohan & his team under the shadow of Communists, can only spell doom for the Indian Economy.
