It is a cheap politics on the part of Congress to voo the muslim votes.India such a beautiful country with talent exploding in every area except in politics.We need talented and honest people in politics as well so that country's law could be implemented.Infact these politicians are the first to break the law.In my opinion Home Ministry should be handed over to person like Manekshaw and Education Ministry to person like Manmohan Singh. India requires badly to educate the each and every individual atleast upto year 12 if they really require India to join developed country.Without education no chance because where the hell uneducated/unemployed people will go: looting and killing or they become parasite. Politics is not to do anything with the country now but it has become a business.These politicians have taken new faces of Kings whose privy purses were withdrawn by Indira Gandhi.These are the new kings getting salary and amenities and wasting taxpayers money in parliament and travelling abroad.
I feel proud of SRK, Ajit Premji, Sania to have more success, I feel pride. I am not stealing anything from anybody to telling proud about their achievement.
Congress's so called claim about religions is pointless. After the death of Indira Gandhi, Sikh murders were triggered by Congress only and we are still waiting to see those culprits behind the bars. I am not sure what is the intention of Gandhi family. Every family member is coming to politics even after the political murders of Indira Gandhi and Rajeev Gandhi. Normal people will keep them aside from this bloody game but Gandhi family is not. They are big time loosers in every other aspect of their life. The only option they have is politics.
What is stated in the 12 page booklet released by the congress is not exageration . It is a statement of a fact. If only the BJP had headed this country since independence instead of the congress then the muslims and the christians and then BCs & Dalits & later the sikhs too would have been disenfranchised or forced to reconvert. They would have become outcasts in the land of their birth. It would have been still worse for the Dalits as we would have been outcasts twice. Once before independence and again after independence ! Whatever the Congress did or did not do may not have been right but the minorities and backward castes will not face discrimination as long as they are there.

In India, people will always be oppressed. This is in the form of a cycle. The Brahmins of today are the dalits of yesterday. The day is not far off when muslims and christians will oppress hindus and force them to convert. Its hard to see where equality will creep in.

I have nothing against Muslims/Christians, but for the matter of fact, they both tried(and still trying in some places) forcing hindus to convert to their religion. Hindus never did that!

Why do we have to choose between the Congress and the BJP? Where are the real unsung heroes among us who work for communal harmony on a daily basis? How can you hypothesize about BJP heading this country when the people of this country have rejected time and time again? We don't need anyone to take credit for our secular credentials. We don't need to be servile, because secularism is our strength! Our votes are not for sale.
India desperately needs a new party, one that does not indulge in such petty politics. How can a political party, a mere shell of the group of illustrious leaders that led the nation to independence, claim credit for the scores of accomplished Muslims? Individuals like Azeem Premji and Shah Rukh Khan deserve whatever success has come their way because they worked hard for it, unlike these nepotistic and obsequious politicians. If India is secular, that is precisely because of its people's inherent character to come together in unity and work our differences out. But what does these idiots know?
The Congress is now just as responsible as the BJP for creating mass hysteria and dividing the nation along religious lines.

Indians are not cows to be led by a party that promotes ethnic cleansing. Hundreds of years of sensibilities will overcome any short term political agenda. We don't need a crooked party to tell us not to kill each other. We have a peace loving society and that is enough by itself. Support your neighbours and family and that will suffice. There's no need for a saviour in the garb of a corrupt political party.

Hey Abhishek, I can only laugh for uneducated but pity for educated who believe that it was congress who led india to independence. Not Gandhi, nor Nehru and none of any other indepedence fighter forced british to leave india. Britains left india because of heavy loss in WW-2, inability to handle any colony and mounting US pressure. Between 1945 and 1971, france,spain, UK freed over 80 countries worldwide, india was just one of them. Was there any nehru, ghandhi or congress in Algeria, Gambia, mynamar, philippines ? Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah destroyed India and we are still facing its consequences. The thing is people need heros so they make even hopeless persons one. Jinnah didnt even know Urdu, he was not even a practising muslim and he wanted a pakistan for himself and not for muslims but he was made father of muslim nation. Similar with Nehru, we all know his stories. But even to this day, I am surprised at my Muslim brothers that they want to be appeased, exploited, fooled by political parties and still remain backward. They dont see that Congress does it to everyone, even to Hindus, lower castes, sikhs. In fact such petty politics is played even by BJP and other parties, just in different formats. Why cant people think they are Indians first and then Hindu, muslim, christian later. Now if SRK, Azim, Sania are great muslim success what about utter poverty and ineducation among bihar or UP muslims ? isnt congress responsible for them ? That means BJP can start taking credit for Ambanis, mittals, Dalmiyas ? What a low level mentality, It happens only in india

100 % true. this congrees has screwed our country by giving curroption to us.its was congress who cheated all over country like bihar and UP. there were three big indutries were set up during 69 to 71 when indira gandhi was PM.all these units never gave profit and atlast in the year of 2000 it was shut down after procuring heavy loss.You know why? Because the technology which whole world discarded were purchased that time after taking heavy bribe from Russia.Thats why when the rajeev gandhi died then these congress person lured Sonia Gandhi to join politics so that million of money which gandhi family have acuired after independance can be used for party purpose.Thats why even though they had many experienced leader in their party but they called SG for their revival because they are money eater.
Shame on these congress leader who shd die as they dont have any leader who can run congress or congress is the private property of gandhi family.
These are the same losers that divide the country in thename of religion and push minority and majority divide. what BJP says is everyone is equal. Very soon Congress will also take credit to making a no name Italian whose only credential was spreading (I wont mention what that spread is) in becoming a Prime Minister to a nation that has a billion natives. Also don't forget they keep tooting this 37 year old goof ball called Rahul as a saviour

India is a secular nation. But right now it seems like India is a muslim/christian nation and is anti-hindu. If Golwalkar and Hedgewar are militant in their outlook, what can be said about the founder of Islam using the same yardstick? I am not defending anyone, I wish people just followed the same yardstick while talking about different people and stop being politically correct. Congress goverment is just dividing people on the lines of religion, but they don't need to do it as Islam already does that by dividing the world into those who are faithful and the infidels. Add to this the lack of freedom of speech. For example, in the South, Karunanidhi always pokes fun at Hindu Gods and Godesses which is tolerated and allowed, can the same thing be done with Islam or its founder in India? Can people even be critical of Islam without the government labelling them as communal. India has become anti-Hindu! We need to start talking about hatred for the majority that is being perpetrated by the Congress government.
If the Congress can claim to be the reason for all these positives, it should also stake a claim for dividing the country on caste and religious lines.
It is the party responsible for the country not becoming a truly secular country, because it always appeased the minorities, fractured the majority community further on lines of caste in the process becoming very very successful as a party for 40 years after independence but ruining the country with its socialist populist irrational governance.
The muslim youth of today will see thru this veneer of lies.
But in any election today its the choice between the worse and bad...there are no good candidates in the fray!
