This would not matter much if there was a sign that one political party or another among the two national ones had seeds of renewal in it. But both the Congress and the BJP are devoid of ideas and fearful of what may happen in the coming elections. The BJP has gone back to cow worship while bashing up Christians in the South and stirring up anti-Muslim feelings in the North. The Congress has been paralysed by its secular friends from fighting terrorism and too scared of the BJP to ban the Bajrang Dal or even prevent violence in Orissa and Karnataka.
It may take two elections before India resumes high growth and peaceful politics.
