Too bad

Until recently, (read before the elections) the BJP looked all set to become a matured political party with a well-set economic agenda to lead India forward. However recent events (read the disastrous elections) prompted the party think-tank to work overtime. The earlier revival of the BJP was largely credited to the Advani rath-yatra and such .. so again, it seems, the BJP is willing to lean on the Hindutva issue. Chuck out all the real, important issues and focus on the sentiments of people. Bring out the ayodhya issue, lead people to believe that it is what our nation needs right now; not a good economic policy, not a common minimum program, not many other things which may seem important, but really all bow before religion and other sentiments. Yeah! Thats the way to go!! If you can't convince them, confuse them. Idiots.

This, I think is a serious setback. We are slipping back into the mesozioc era instead of gearing up and lunging for the prize .. an all-over booming economy and a stable, healthy nation. Hell, I am gonna ignore the BJP for now (they deserve it) and be critical of the current govt. Atleast they remain the same old reliably non-performing group.
