It is the people who join a political party who matter. BJP stands for nationalism and the only party Indians should support. If anybody who has joined the party nurtures individual personal aims to benefit out of the party, he should leave the party. It is high time that BJP top insist upon personal character and self less approach to issues by its office bearers and MLAs. and MPs. Let Keshubhai Patel and Suresh Mehta understand that party's interests are more important than their personal ambitions. It is Narendra Modi who started from the scratch made Gujarath proud of BJP majority State successively inspite of pseudo secularists and commies defaming the party.
I believe we can't agree Sethu Bridge as a holy site. Its not a Temple, Church or Mosque. Its a bridge. My query is why cant we remove part of it if needed for the interest of our Nation. Its 21st century this project will lead to India's growth. E.G Suez canal.

Sethu canal cannot be compared with Suez Canal or Panama Canal. It is absurd. It is not a good project. Let us live without that.

Pls come out of your house & media frenzy biased report before commenting just for the hack of it. You are most welcome to Gujrat,one of the most developed state of the country (along with Harayna, Punjab , Goa etc) which has 100% electricity & roads for each part of the state.

Rediff has again proved to be a very biased anti BJP media.
Modi does not allow any corruption, wants results from ministers, MLA etc which these politicians are not used to hence they become anti Modi & media like Rediff gives them important to create masala news.

But Gujju bai BJP has been declared their PM candidature?? Now what will you do??? Cry cry n cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We do not have a true right wing party to balance the centrist and leftist parties. BJP also is centrist. Today Politically correct philosophy is ruling the country - not the really correct philosophy. Read any main line newspaper - they will take wishy washy stand on each issue. Every politician will take wishy washy stance on everything. Every 5 years they simply switch alliances and this is supposed to be democracy. Governors deliberately favour one party and no one can do anything. When the court intervenes, we have several politicians talking of judicial activism.
People have to first start voting in large numbers and start influencing public policy in groups. Government officials do not give a damn if you go alone and make a complaint, but collect 10 people along with you and go for a representation - see the difference. You can move public policy if you act collectively.
It is probably too much to expect a politician and bureaucrat to be straight when the general public do not care enough.

maybe you are right.... but it does not mean that people take sides with the people who are trying to take a anti-ram posture for votes. whether ram exists or not is another issue. this kind of posturing on religious grounds needs to be shot down.
BJP is based on religion, apart from that nothing is special , it can only get vote from hardline citizens who are brain washed. so their only agenda was ram mandir before now ram sethu. anyways can anybody explain was ram god or a normal human being? i have a very important and question if you answer whether ram was god or normal human being or did not exists.

well as such i m not a fan of BJP and don't want to get int debate about their agendas, but for your information, in India we give chance to even humans to be God !! its not like other religion where u have divide (Dvaita in Sanskrit) between human and God ! its all about non-dual (Advaita in Sanskrit) in sanatan dharma (Hindu religion for most others) where you can be God too ! So although Ram was normal human being, his actions (karma) made him God in eyes of every one. I know that this communist and others so called "secular" parties try to deny his existence, but from my point of view if I can't prove his existence, I already know that, they can't disprove his existence on their so called logic and research (for your information I my self doing research in Europe in Computer eng.), so I choose to believe God Ram existed, now its your decision what to choose !!

Sorab can you locate just 2/3 generations back of your ancetral house?

I just ask you and your kind of guys to go to your grandmother, snatch the mala of manka from her hand, shower abuses over these helpless people who everyday in this ruthless turning society of country gets some power and hope to survive and find peace in the name of Ram. Is that their sin that people like you the pesudointellectuals have castigating Ram and his existence? What your kind want? if your head is so sound then why you are not able to see that as the number of your kidn of people has increased so has increased the tension and differences in the society. You protest against hindu hardliners but ever thought why they got the ground? just due to you people who are so much mindless that they forget the social reprucursions of such irresponsible behavior. Ram will survive and Ram will be always there, because it's not a human being but a belief, a faith and a philosophy to lead life who will keep on winning over your kind of demons and your kind of Breed, who have become a bit overconfident over their head and time! Ram is not a body, nor any soul but a power which always repre

It actually does not matter if Ram existed or not. If you hold a set of qualities as ideal and if it inspires you that is good enough. If millions of people hold the same idol as inspiration, even better. Forget the BJP. If some one disagrees with you, you will try to convince the person and if he still does not change, you will leave him alone and go your way. But many parties like DMK are bent on insulting people just because they think that Ram is an inspiration to them!! Who are they inspired by ??
Now MK says that he is simply interested in the project - if it can be made without disturbing Ram Sethu it is OK with him! Why can he not begin with this statement?? The problem would have been solved. This project was approved by BJP government !! There are several environmental concerns against this project. Many details need to be worked out. A project of this size always will put somebody under disadvantage and they have to be taken care of.
forget the BJP // Congress and DMK are not saints.

I have no doubts that Ram Never Existed.IF you see history,there are no remains of Ram.And the whole ramayana is like a fairy tale told to a kid.There is no scientific proof.There are not even coins of his date.Also if you read the life of valmiki,he was nothing but a physic persons,mentally unstable person.And today the hindus are beleiving the words of this mad man.Ram is purely a myth but today politicians are playing with it for their benifit. And in name of this non existent ram,babri masjid was broken to make ram temple.Also there so much fuss made ot when Taslima nasreen was attcked.but hardly very few know that in bangalore karunanidi's daughter was attcked by RSS and VHP and 2 persons were burnt alive in TN bus.Aren't they spreading voilence in the name of Ram,or Hindu religion??? Are they not terrorists.What sholud i call i Hindutva Terrorists.These few black sheeps are spreading terror in name of hindu religion shame on all indians who tolerate them.Can we ban these groups don't we have the political will to do that??

Thanks Manoj Mehtaji, for nice understanding. Due to political scene in the country, the illiterate people like MK, make some drunken person as valmiki and ask him to write un-likely things to malign God's name. AS long as MK will be wearing black glass on his (inner mind-in hindi to pronounce "man") eyes won't be possible for him to see clear things. When MK can stoop so low for the creator of this universe than what to say about him. I remember some one has written that let us keep things for God to decide fate for MK as he will be getting his dues for his KARMAS. Hare Ram.
