State News And Discussion - 3

[size="3"]I am one of those who believes in paradigm shifts:

even if BJP is not able to capitalize on the mounting exposes of Kangressi misdeeds, the westernized structures for "governance" are being exposed as redundant and will fade away.

What an irony it would be if the forecasted withering of the state is heralded by the heathens

Stateless and Churchless fantasizing by the modernists was always an attempt to hijack the heathen dynamic

The Congress got its first blow in Uttar Pradesh before the assembly election next year when two of its leaders crossed over to the BJP on Wednesday.



This must have come as a shock for the party because the two leaders were from the parliamentary constituency of Rahul Gandhi.



Rashmi Singh, block pramukh of Amethi, and Dal Bahadur Kori, an important leader from the Tiloi assembly constituency, joined the BJP in the presence of party vice-president Vinay Katiyar.



The Congress claimed their desertion would make no difference to the party. It said the two leaders switched loyalty because they had been denied tickets from the Amethi and Tiloi constituencies. "Those who are with us only for poll tickets may be disappointed. It is good if they leave now," UP Congress spokesperson Subodh Srivastava said.



But Rashmi said she left the party as it doesn't respect grassroots leaders. "Despite having mass following in rural areas, I was feeling suffocated in the Congress.



There are either VIPs or helpless workers. There is no middle-level cadre. I left as soon as I found a better option." "I've given decades to the Congress and got only humiliation in return. So I left it," Kori said.
