Unfortunately, even this limited gain is in danger of being wiped out if the BJP now falls into a trap laid for it by the Congress. The ââ¬Ësaffron terror' issue is one where BJP must rebuff all attempts by extremists acting as custodians of Hindu interests to gain legitimacy. A resurrected Ayodhya dispute will be another test of its responsible nationalism. The Congress wants to paint the BJP as a party of narrow-minded fanatics out to destroy India's plural society. It wants to show that India's future isn't safe in the hands of such a force. More than a thousand speeches, it is worthwhile policy engagements, like those on the nuclear civil liability Bill, which will persuade India to have another look at the BJP. http://www.dailypioneer.com/279428/N-Bil...r-BJP.html
