    Sober, constructive opposition in Parliament, imitating Tony Blair and dropping Hindutva, hard facts that demonstrate that BJP governments actually help Muslims in economic and social progress, getting away from direct or indirect associations that put off allies and reduce your political space — one hopes you will consider all of these in pursuit of long-term electability even though many in your party may

    argue that returning to a hard line is the best course.

    Poor ArguementBy: Shantanu | 02-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward Mr.Rao, You have good writing skills but you have put a fairly poor argument. But unfortunately people of India are falling for such poor argument and malicious campaigning by writers like you and our biased media. Any thing pro-hindu is termed as communal. MIM winning seats in Hyd, with muslim in its name is not communal. IUML in kerala with muslim in its name is not communal and congress being ally of such parties is not communal. AP cong chief talking about cutting hands of any one against minorities is not communal. No one in press or media write about these things. This election was run on anti-bjp venom by congress, left, others and media......and unfortunately they succeeded.
    Good BJP BashingBy: G.K | 28-May-2009 Reply | Forward Nice BJP bashing article unmindful of facts. BJP had clear opposition not on the Nuclear deal but on the specifics of the deal like reprocessing, testing. It is ironic that the govt did not allow even a single debate in the parliament for the parties to have discussion and vote, merely on the adamance of the PM, creating a dubious sense. Opposition will create hue and cry when it does not get a fair chance to voice its opinion in the house. Vajpayee gave when he was PM, he even reached out to opponents (CPI/CPM) to take their help to handle US deftly. BJP was the opposition party that clearly said that this juncture is not for blaming the govt but to show solidarity during 26/11. Why should BJP talk such pathetic statements like Manmohan singh to say "nobody can bog us down by doing terrorist activities" kind of clean chit. It shows more of incompetence than solidarity. None has forgotten Cong petty politics during kargil war time. Dont make a non-existence monster out of BJP.

    Can the BJP change?By: N.V.SANKARAN | 27-May-2009 Reply | Forward All analysts of the election has made one important factor as the reason for Congress's victory and BJP's loss. That is, the Congress policy was inclusive and BJP's divisive. Let us have a look. BJP wanted all poor people should be treated equally while providing government aid without discrimination on the basis of religion or caste. This is divisive. Congress wants more help to be given to Muslims., this is inclusive. BJP says there should be a uniform civil code for every citizen irrespective of his/her religion. This is divisive. The congress wants to let Muslims have their own civil code. This is inclusive. The BJP wants article 370 to be abolished and J
