Why BJP
by Sushil Harlalka
This is the pulse of the urban population. This is the pulse of the Voters which the BJP is trying to and hoping to bring to the POLLING BOOTH. I AM ECHOING THEIR RESERVATIONS. Credit must be given where it is due. It is true that India owes its Economic Strength today to the Bold initiative of the Narsimha Rao Govt. The liberalisation started by him and the resultant tightening of the Indian Industry, improving its efficiency and today being a force to reckon with in International Competetiveness.
The Telecommunication Revolution was ushered by Rajiv Gandhi. Today we owe the widespread network of STD to him, with even the remotest village connected not only by land line but also by the Mobile Phone network.
Anything else really standing out? Anything which can be called revolutionary? This is the outstanding work which has been done in the 50 odd years of Power and what Power.Look at the resource rich states of BIHAR & U.P., which were under their rule for decades. They could have been countries like Saudi and Dubai, with their vast Natural Resources. Today they are amongst the worst states of the country. People below the Poverty Line are mostly from these States. There was a time when these States were their bastions. Today their strength is reduced to single digits. This is the strength of Democracy. There is no dearth of this list if one were to start wrirting.
Why go so far. The number of people below the Poverty Line has in fact increased in the last Five Years, when the country is boasting of Highest GDP growth rates.The rich have become richer and the poor poorer. The farmer suicide rate is the highest ever.
Forget all this. What is the use of all this if we are not even sure we are going to come back home safe, if our dear ones are going to be safe and secure wherevever they are. SECURITY—- THIS IS BY FAR THE BIGGEST AND LARGEST FAILURE OF THE GOVT.Just compare the number of Terrorist attacks in the period of 1998 to 2004 and the period 2004 to 2008. You will have the answer.
Now compare the work of BJP in just one term. one term and that too a largely truncated term as illustrtated in my previous article.I am not claiming nor assuring the citizens or promising any magic by the BJP. All that I am trying to convey is that just give them another chance and if a chance is to be given let it be given with good measure not dependent on Crutches, not at the mercy of opportunists, not albatrosses. That is all I am wanting to convey to the electorate. Just pause, reflect, think coolly, come to the Polling Booth and vote for a CHANGE, don’t just stay away. Give change a chance just this once. At least it certainly won’t be as bad. Then why not give a chance. That’s why BJP. More later.

I think there is no use to comparing 100 year history of who has achieved what. Its the current leadership that matters, and I agree that the outgoing government has failed us on most counts.
What stops me from going and championing BJP is that two of their most popular current leaders, Advani and Modi, have been perpetrators and overseers of two of the most ghastly communal acts in recent Indian history. And BJP is yet to come out and clarify where it stands on those issues.
Dear Ashok,
If we see the history of India there have been numerous overseers and perpetrators of crimes against humanity..Why do we have to be sorry for what Advani and Modi did.?You saw the moral support for the perpetrators of terror after the Batla house encounter.Although we are by nature believers in fair play I think the time as come to learn the art of survival from the minorities and pseudos.Let us stop the idea of being politically correct even at the expense of our own survival.For centuries we did it and have reached nowhere because we are living amongst hawks.
Good comparison .We should make more and more people aware what BJP has done and what it’s policies.Right now we will have to put BJP as a single option in front of all people as everyone wants change.
I think a “why BJP” has to compare with the next five years: what can we expect from a BJP-led govt vs a Congress-led govt. If the past is to be used for judgement, we will compare the last 5 year term with the previous 5 year term… and perhaps the BJP does not look that good in management … on almost any front.
In addition, or perhaps, even more importantly, the BJP does not inspire us with its narrow singular view, not just of India but even of Hinduism, forgetting the greatness of the diversity of Hinduism and India.
So alas, even though there are good managers in

So alas, even though there are some good managers in the BJP, alas.. the why BJP .. argument falls pchac.
@Rational Indian,
What have you been smoking?
First of all, stop calling yourself rational.
Secondly…..well, never mind…you are beyond redemption, anyway.
many like me (pls trust me–there are millions) want to vote BJP but wont..
chief reason: Shri LK Advani
Mentor -Yes. Coach - Yes. Wiseman- Yes but 88 years end of term as PM if they win…pllllllllleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaseee.. for whatever reason BJP is forced to do this to themselves..we just don’t care..
even a polarising boogey is unacceptable when ‘you know who’ cud easily have been a bold choice..
Hi All,
I am very thankful to the nation that we have a good leaders like Vajpayee and Advaniji the Next PM.
Somebody wrote due to over-age they don’t like Advani…come on…think over it …its not a college election…the nation needs a mature,willing and strong leader like Advani..don’t know about others but when i am in trouble i do go to my elders to seek a solution, advise and they never disappointed me
Friends we should support BJP-led government because all other parties using the BJP and it’s POLICY which truely saying that all persons of this country should be treat as INDIANS as a tool
to show them as safeguards of muslims & christians. This should not be allowed. For this we should canwash our friends & relatives to restore the true seculerism in this nation.
I have to say one more thing, there were no nation as secular country in history and world. If the india is a secular country and it’s people are secularists let’s the all non-BJP parties should anouce a non-MUSLIM person as a Chief Minister candidate in Kashmir and face the election, then I will belive that the word SECULARIM has the meaning in this country and world.
The majority of people should rule the nation peasfully and minority of people should live peasfully, this is way to change INDIA as HEAVEN.
Thanks.
Why BJP? BJP is the only nationalist party and others are hybrid and rotten. BJP only protect the interests of one billion indians.BJP is truly secular , there is no second class treatment to minorities . Abdul kalam has become President at the time of BJP rule.BJP only protect the borders of this country and stop infiltrations from Bagla desh. BJP only revivies the culture of this country . BJP will set right NE states . BJP will bring common civil code and remove special status to J&K . Pandits can be assured of their peace ful life in Kashmir.BJP only can solve the Ram janma bhumi - Babri majid issue and construct a grand Ram temple at Ayodhya making a world famous monument.BJP= Bahu Jandaran Party.
My friend Mr. Ganesh rightly said -Advani and Modi, have been perpetrators and overseers of two of the most ghastly communal acts in recent Indian history
BJP does not inspire us with its narrow singular view, not just of India but even of Hinduism, forgetting the greatness of the diversity of Hinduism and India.
Mr L.K. Adwani Changes his view and thinking according to location and time.
Location : Pakistan
When his is in Pakistan he became truly pakistani find Great Hero Mr. Jinha in his soul.
His statement found to be most Flip- flop
some time favours dalit some time not.
some time favours bajrangdal some time not
Some time favours Ramsena some time not.
He was Home Minister
1. Cargil war : (Approx-400 Defance personal were Killed because Non performance Home ministry)
2. Parliment Attak ( Jawan killed , again nonperformance)Forgate other attack in his duration.
3.Plane hijack to Kandhar( again Non performance)
Now trying for PM , doesnot suit for the PM because of Nonperforming ,flipflop and unrelaibility
batter to go for young one.

I’m not agree with you, because NDA government is a only government which opposes the jihad-terrerisom without any vote bank politics.
And only Advani was not responsible for terrer attacks on this nation, it was our intelligence bodies’ invalid blueprint structure.
Advani is not a person who supports the terrist organization SIMI for muslim votes like Lalu Prasad Yadav,Mayavathi,Mulayam Singh,Amar Singh.
we must all understand that riots cannot be made to happen by modi or advaniji.no amount of political bigotry will be encouragement enough to kill people.it our own deep seated antipathy towards another that surfacesa when riots take place.the politician,at best fans these hidden feelings or may provide a sense of security. but still,given assurance off all the security and safety i dont think one can go out and kill.we must try to bridge the gap between the two communities,learn to accept each other as they are and not as they should be.i will,therfore, once again appeal to one and all to have a rethink on the gujarat riotr and look for sloutions-certainly not the simplistic solutions.

Dear Mr. Ramesh
You have every right to disagree with me.
My point is Non Performance of NDA Home Ministry , you simply can’t held responsibe to Inteligence or Security . As they are directly under ministry.
Please dont forget, the ever shame shameful failure at Kargil, Kandhar, and Parliament attack in NDA period.
If you said so than Mumbai attacks, who should be held responsible, Intellligence oR Home Ministry which act at the end of show.
Friends, I ain’t falling in trap of during NDA this and during UPA that. I am going to look at future. Who will secure lives of Indians? Who will secure India’s borders? Who will turn around the economy? Who will bring inflation down? Who will build roads and bridges? If past performance is indicator I don’t think UPA can provide leadership in all the above areas as they failed in all in last 1 year. I am waiting for UPA and NDA manifesto and will decide whether to vote for UPA or NDA. I vote for policy and not for people.
@ Sanjay Mawlikar,
Yes there were terror incidences in NDA rule… now take a statistics of 5 yrs of NDA and 2004 to 09 of congress…
how many incidences
how many deaths / injured
what was the action taken
financial loss
etc…
see for your self what the stats says.
and incidences of flip flop… oh … The non-existance of Ram was the classic case of Govermental flip flop… it is too big to be compared to that of LKA’s remarks.
If LKA can call Jinnah secular… he cannot have a narrow singular view…
Modi and LKA as per you were the overseers of communal acts, but what abt the Congress we had numerous communal incidences in their regime.
LKA may be old but look at his agility, presence of mind…
Do you want a 21 year fresher to rule this country?
One can seen and develop himself from the policies of the BJP. Leadership quality may develop in BJP only because it have a guidance under good leaders like Advani, Vajpayee etc
It was real mistake of BJP that when NDA was in power BJP had shown soft stand to CPM Government of West Bengal .
In West Bengal CPM had done a lot barbaric attack aging innocent people ( who are supported of opposition parties ) and at the same time NDA Government was in power at Delhi. In Keshpur of West Bengal CPM had taken uncivilized and inhuman role to kill innoscent anti-CPM people . What is the Keshpur line of CPM ???
That is the theory to rule over people with the help of Hooligans ,mafias and criminals.
CPM applied that theory in Keshpur .
But it is a matter of grave concern that NDA Government failed to take appropriate role to stop that undemocratic role of CPM .
BJP will should realize that that the existence of such opportunist party in any democratic country is the most dangerous threat against a democratic and civilized society .
CPM had violated all norms of Indian constitution to expand their party in West Bengal . They also violated all norms of UNO. Their activities are also against basic principals of Human Rights.
But unfortunately when NDA was in power BJP had not taken appropriate action to stop CPM.
BJP should highlight above points in Orissa election also.
I hope that BJD have to pay for their alliance with CPM . People of west Bengal already realized that CPM is the worst party of India .
Orissa is not very far from West Bengal .This message will reach very soon at Orissa .
BJD must have to suffer for it’s alliance with the No-1Inhuman and anti-poor party of India .
There are manu who suggest that NDA failed during its times to contain terrorist incidences such as Kandahar, Parliament attack etc. I dont agree. Yes there were attacks, but the NDA govt realized it and brought out strict laws such as POTA to counter them Look at this UPA, they reversed the POTA act when terrorism is high, after 26/11 they want to bring in laws that do not allow arrest of offenders. I will vote for NDA/Advani as PM.
Friends we should not blame NDA for kndahar and parliment attack.Because
1)For kandahar the flight was not hijacked inside india,the congress party and it’s dictator protests outside the Vajpayee’s house to release the terrists and takeback the passengers. But now they are blaming the NDA government.And you should remember the words from home minister Chidambaram, who said that was a difficult situation to decide in the time of hostage hours.
2)Second in parliment attack the NDA government booked all the culprits(Include Afsal,who was treated with hot biryani from congress during recent Ramjan) and the court sentenced them to death, but UPA does not obey the court words for it’s vote bank politics.
Dear Rameshji,
I fully agree with you . There was no other alternative for NDA Government . They have done what was best to do at that situation. Eveyone should give thanks to NDA as they saved a lot of innocent people .

The telecommunication revolution was not due to Congress in any way.

Why BJP…?
BJP esliye ki…BJP ekloti aisi party hai jisne aantakvad jaisa gambhir mudda uthaya hai.Wah aantakvad,jo desh ko tabaah karne ke liye taiyyar khada hai.Aur Jispar sab pseudo seclar partiyan chuppi sadhe huwe hein.Koi eske khilaf nahi bol raha hai ,BJP chodkar.Bulki eske viprit vote bank ke liye samay-samay par uska saath bhi deta raha hai(Arjun Singh,Amar Singh aur Antule jaise neta).
BJP esliye….ki uske shasan kaal mein mahngayee badhane ke vajai ghatati rahi thi.Rozana aisi khabren television ke madhyam se aur akhbaaron ke madhayam se dekhna aur padhane ko milti thi ki aaj falan cheej ka daam ghat raha hai, aaj falan cheej ka daam ghat raha hai.Rasoi gas cylinder aise milti thi jaise koi bhaaji kharid raha ho ,(pichaley saal UPA sarkar mein to bhaaji bhi milna mushkil ho gaya tha,mahngayee ke karan)haatho haath gas cylinder uplabdh hota tha.Aur jahan tak Mobile phone ke daam ka sawal hai yah uske shasan kaal mein hi sambhav huwa tha ki Mobile ke daam saste huwe the.Baaki electronics samaanon ke daam bhi saste huwe the.Aaj jo mobile etne saste huwe hein yah BJP ke karan hi huwa sambhav ho paya hai,varna uske pahle Mobile ke kya daam the sabko pata hai.Jahan tak telephone connection ki baat hai wah ek din ke call mein lagna shuru ho gaya tha.Yah BJP ke karan hi huwa tha.Yadi annaj(food grains) ki baat karen uska utpadan(production) etna huwa tha ki rakhne ki jagah kam pad jati thi.Jabki aaj ki UPA ki sarkar mein anaaj(food grains) bahar se aayaat(import) karna pada, wah bhi 1700/= rupyee mein,sada huwa, jise maweshi(cattle) bhi na khana chahe,insaan ki baat to door hai.Us import mein bhi UPA sarkar dwara bharastachar huwa .Jabki yahan ki kissano ko 800/= dene se inkar kar diya gaya.
BJP esliye ki infrastructure ke mamle mein kafi kaam shuru kiye gaye the aur teji se uspar kaam bhi chala,jaise PRADHAN MANTRI GRAMIN SADAK
YOJANA,GOLDEN QUADRILATERAL YOJANA,NAGPUR MEIN CARGO HUB YOJANA,UPA shasan kaal mein en sab yojnaon par kaam janbhujkar dhire kar diya gaya,jiske karan aaj tak pura nahi ho paya hai.BJP AIIMS ki tarah 7 rajyon mein medical college kholane aur kuch vartamaan college ko AIIMS ke ster ki tarah karne ka karyakaram banaya tha wah bhi UPA ki meharbani se thande baste mein chala gaya.BJP shasan mein Bandra-Nariman Point sea link way ka kaam shuru kiya gaya tha jo UPA sarkar ke dhile rawaiyye ke karan aaj tak pura nahi huwa hai.Agar BJP ko aur 5 saal ka shasan kendra mein mila hota to ye sabhi yojnayen kab ki puri ho jati.
Phir bhi let us hope ki hum phir ek baar ji jaan se BJP ko satta mein purn bahumat ke saath laane ka prayas karen.
