Nobody questioned the credentials of Bangaru Laxman or Venkaiah Naidu when they were party presidents. Rajnath Sigh had little role to play and did in last gen elections. By blaming him for the loss and baying for his immediate removal, we are barking up the wrong tree. IMO the one person largely responsible for the loss is LKA, all wrong decisions including in-decisions can be traced back to him. His offer to resign notwithstanding, despite the rancid pickle episode he dosen't seem to be willing to let go his pre-eminent position and perks attached with it. And nobody seems to have the gut to say that the Emperor has no clothes.Supporternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32951515.post-77023451213255717012009-10-28T23:27:35.979-07:002009-10-28T23:27:35.979-07:00http://in.jagran.yahoo.com/news/opinion/general/6_...http://in.jagran.yahoo.com/news/opinion/general/6_3_5894983.html<br /><br />Can not say better than this (by an ex-BJP MP) but it is in Hindi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32951515.post-76253739906355099132009-10-28T23:16:55.216-07:002009-10-28T23:16:55.216-07:00@Anonymous....

People who distorted LKA's Pakistan speech in India and had him fired too must be under the scanner.<br /><br />2.

SS used same thuggish tactic now being deployed by MNS! Cong will come to rue Raj but then they will create a new one and the saga will continue until the Indian voters really get out of their slumber, if ever. If I were BJP, I will go alone - may lose some elections but that will place it as an alternative to both SS and Cong. Else, it will end up like Cong in TN or BJP in UP/Bihar (how many know that BJS was the principal opp party in UP/Bihar and a significant one in Haryan in 1967 but made the monumental mistake of aigining with dal-badlus and lost its pre-eminent opp position in all those states)!

I think an analysis of this would be extremely interesting.<br /><br />The main reason here is the 61% slum population in Mumbai, Thane and Pune.

If not please look up their website and hear him.
