I don't see it changing any time soon. They will go through the motions again to give the appearance of cleaning up the house, but the talk about coalition dharma etc etc is just around the corner - which means, they will abandon all principles once more. <!--emo&:flush--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Flush.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='Flush.gif' /><!--endemo-->

kram, The core vote for BJP is ~ 20%. You cant win elections with that low a number unless its multi-cornered contests with the candidates splitting/dividing the elecotrate on caste or groupism lines. This time in many regions like AP- PRP, Maharasthra- MNS, Gujarat - rebel BJP, TN- Vijaykanth's *MK and in Rajasthan - Shekawat vs Rajhe fight which is essentially caste based at the root of it, there were multicornered fights which allowed the INC to romp home.
So how does one stick to core principles and stay marginalised? 20% can never beat the others.
How to build alliances and gain power without which politics is vyarth.
I think the need is to transform Hindutva to Indutva. At same time need to get more people to align with the BJP idea of India. The elections have decimated fissiparious groups. Time to move in and take over.
