Centre considering President's Rule in Uttar Pradesh

================

BJP should take lessons from Congress on how to rule ruthlessly.

I think BJP should oppose imposition of president's rule.

Firstly, it is a matter of principle. Congress should not be allowed to misuse 356 whereever, even against mulayam. Supporting 356 in UP will appear hypocritical as this was the same reason that was used in Bihar.

Secondly, BJP will lose politically. If mulayam govt is dismissed, it will take some anger out of its pro-muslim behaviour. 6 months is a long time (and we can be sure that congress will not have elections before that) and people may forget how much muslims/jihadis were given room in UP.

A lot will depend on the punjab, utttakhand election results. If congress loses badly, they will impose president's rule so that BJP does not gain in UP. (I would not rule out a mulayam-congress pact to stop BJP. And ofcourse commies will help in any endevour to prevent BJP from getting to power).

So BJP should oppose 356 and I think George Fernandez is correct in this.
