You guys are great!!!! BJP talks all the time of our great India, but to win elections they have tied up with AKALIS---These same akalis who wud never condemn terrorists during Punjab Militancy, in fact Mr. Badal wuld refer to Khalistani terrorr groups as "Our boys" & wud blame India for discriminating against sikhs & making them terrorists...This same BJP in those days wud condemn "Sikh terror on HINDUS"..Isin't it an irony that the first Sikh prime minister is from the Congress....Akalis shud thing whether there will ever be a Sikh Prime Minister under BJP rule?????? Forget it.

It is very sad to read a comment like this. The gentleman who has written article has forgotten the actual history or would have been influenced by the communist history. It is known to every one that it was the congress that actually incited and propelled the rise of people who took over the golden temple. If one has to blame the terrorist problems of Punjab than history is a witness that it was the act of congress which aided and abated the men who caused violence in Punjab.
The defeat of the Congress has nothing to do with the issue of terrorism but has to do more with the common man . The poll plank of congress COMMON MAN%u2019s government is lost in the vindictive policies of the state government. The then Congress government has spent more time in thinking how to finish the opponents than about the development of the state , and the answer to such an thinking was a No vote by the people.
No doubt congress has done development and only u have to accelerate this process, only then you can win the confidence of each person in the Punjab State
The Housing Loan Interest rates have raised from 7% to 10% . The essential goods prices increased like anything viz, Potato Rs.8 to 14, Onion Rs.8 to 16 . Cong - better improve or you will be lost.
It is to understand by all the political and comman man that the clear message has been given that all the policies should be and only in the interest of comman man. The sitting chairperson has to understand that in the name of industrlisation or setting up SEZ farmer should not be deprived from their own agriculture land. No vindictive politics. goverment money should be used to enrich the facility of the comman man and not the Bank balances. If they stick to this policy a message may be spread across the country and in turn they will be benefited in centre after two years.
tHE bjp HAS WON ONLY 19 SEATS IN THE PUNJAB AND THEY ARE BEHAVING AS IF THEY HAVE WON THE GENERAL ELECTIONS BY THEMSELVES. A PITY THAT A ONCE RELEVANT PARTY IS BEHAVING IN A JUVENILE MANNER.CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SHIROMANI AKALI DAL. SUMEDH SHAH

That is the oneness shown by a national party towards the regional party. Tell me how many parties are there which give equal opportunities to all in the present political scenario prevailing in India. INC wants to hold all the control over the political scene in the country.

I think you have not done your Home work properly. BJP had contested only 23 seats in Panjab and won 19 seats. i.e a winning rate of 82.6%. It is indeed a stellar performance by the BJP.

Barring few states BJP has no presence, therefore, making Regional adjustment with dominent parties for electroal gain and they give maximum publicity like feel good, India shining etc.etc.without knowing the ground reality. Only the cong has it presence felt through India

Prof Gulraj Singh Khalsa Its a pity that a party(BJP)which was completely irrelevant and had no base in punjab before '97 has become relevant today.The success of the BJP this time is attributed to the complete support of the Akali workers,which the Akalis did not get this time,especially in the malwa region.This result is alarmingly dangerous.It clearly describes the polarisation of the punjabi public.From the outside,everything seems ok,But from the inside,the schism between the sikhs and hindus has become clear cut as has been shown by a detailed analysis of the elections in punjab.

India is the only country where native Hindu peoples neglected, downtrodded like any thing by the Congress.they always support islamic activities. thats why still afzal guru is not hanged. even president is also showing their dumbness in this case. think positively, be Indian,not islamic terrorist.

dear brother prasanna, yes it's true that the terrorist strikes have increased, killing innocent people. but that's the handywork of other country (you know that). whereas BJP being indians are putting our own country into trouble. now who is doing the bigger crime? other country? or our own brothers? if we all unite, turning our deaf ear (including muslims and other minority faiths) to what dirty neighbours has to say. i believe no one on this planet can shake us. LONG LIVE OUR INDIA. JAI HIND.
