Ramanaji,
My point has not been understood by you. Let me enunciate the background.
a) BJP formed a minority govt when it ruled last but it benefitted only non-Hindus and so Hindus felt betrayed and did not support the BJP in the last election.
b) Congress quickly reconciled to the idea of coalition govt. and sewed up a front that isolated the BJP. This front was a shot in the arm for the anti-Hindu forces and Hindus suffered a lot in the last 5 years.
c) Vote bying was in vogue before but was done more stealthily. Now this culture has been streamlined and is very much in the open. Even for a public meeting a person is given some Rs.200 and a plate of biriyani and a bottle of arrack to ensure his attendance. That is the sorry state of secular democracy.
d) Against the power of the Congress in their grooming of caste (and minority) leaders for wades and wades of money whereby these 'leaders' will ensure 'delivery' of vote bank, the choice is to cultivate the anti-Congressmen and pay them their dues to be in power.
It is therefore, that the BJP has to seriously think in terms of being a supporter of non-Congress govt. (with a non-BJP) P.M. by extending inside support just as the old Jan Sangh did. (We have to incorporate the lessons learnt in those scenerios). That is the surest way to weaken the Congress and its vote bank.
The idea of the BJP not heading a govt may be unpalatable but it is still better considering that the Congress and its ilks can be driven to the opposition benches.
The non-Congress, non-BJP parties that are part of the govt. might continually threaten to defect to the Congress when the BJP would press for pro-Hindu programs but their ability to do so will be diminished if there is mass movement in the streets to force them as is happening in Orissa or Kashmir and in Assam too. Actually the mass movements throughout India are our keys to success. The RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal, Hindu Munnani and Dr.Swamy's challenge to destroy Ramasethu, or resistance to any corruption by any minister and so on become the vehicles to keep these non-Congress parties to remain non-Congress.
The Congressmen might surely indulge in campaigns using secular media and terrorists' help but only relentless mass movement can counter it. Otherwise we would be letting the Congress back and history will repeat itself.
My question is:
Does the BJP have qualitative leadership to carry on these important tasks or are they moth eaten to become cannon ball revetted to our feet?
