We do give importance to serious matters, overlooking others not
so important or only divide our focus. What India needs after a decade of
corruption, misrule and cronyism is development, development and development.
We can keep on talking about 2002 for a century, refusing to acknowledge that
the bloodbath of millions in 1947 is a story that hardly moves now anyone less
than 60 year old. Politicians abetted by academics or self anointed editors are not willing to
give bury the Godhra incident, because of its 'juiciness' while almost the
whole of Muslim population affected more
intimately by the Godhra incident have moved ahead. We should not close our
eyes and ears to the fact that this is the only issue the Congress can rake up
to gather some Muslim votes. Has the Congress officially apologized for the
Emergency in which thousands of young people were castrated all over India and
many more were jailed without any cause and Fundamental Rights were abolished?
While shedding crocodile tears for the Muslims killed in Godhra, do they also
have a word of sympathy for the Hindus who were locked in the bogie and burnt
and a word of condemnation for the perpetrators of that tragedy? If they can
brush it away as a reaction to the demolition of Babri Masjid, why cannot they
brush Godhra episode also as a retaliation to that reaction? For God's sake
care a little for the millions of living poor instead of beating your breast
for those who are no more. Don't ever mention the word 'secularism' if you
cannot help people to come together. Don't give us your new arithmetic that a
nation divided is stronger.
WHAT SHOULD BJP DO FOR WINNING TAMIL NADU? BJP should just tell in detail about its plans for the nation & in particular for the State and need not at all get into fight with either AIADMK or DMK. It should not even bother to respond to any frivolous accusations from them, especially from DMK, because it is no more a viable party even with its associates, Congress and communists. Tamils know everything about Amma Jayalalitha whereas they don't know much about BJP even today, because most of them don't know Hindi and many not even English. A vigorous campaign highlighting plans for progress will get them enough votes to be the main opposition this time around and when the plans are complete, may be it will become the ruling party in the election after the forthcoming one. If possible it should avoid AIADMK as even the major partner, because irrespective of its progressive policies which have borne fruits to Tamil Nadu, AIADMK's first name is Entrenched Corruption...
