You have to give credit to Rajeev Gandhi, Sam Petroda, the finance ministers V.P. Singh, Dr. Man Mohan Singh for the economic reforms that the BJP followed.(on the political front, there were brutal murder of people eg: Ayodhya, Gujarat, killings of foreign charity administrators,thanks to the BJP). India did not shine because of the BJP. India was tarnished because of handling the issues mentioned above.(Ayodhya, Gujarat, killings of foreign charity administrators,thanks to the BJP)
