Check your history book first, babu! 24 years passed after India's first nuclear test, and Congress could not muster up enough courage to further our nuclear capability in the face of severe world pressure. BJP came to power in March 1998. Shortly thereafter Pakistan fired 1500 km range missile. And we gave a fitting reply by conducting 5 nuclear tests in May 1998. It took balls to do that and not sign NPT or CTBT. Remember also that while USA has conducted some 2000 tests, China has conducted 45 (23 atmospheric and 22 underground). China has not signed NPT (if I'm correct) but only CTBT while noting their wish that they will be allowed to conduct 'peaceful nuclear tests' after 10 years (10 yrs. passed in 2006). That nuclear test in my mind was one of the biggest achievements of BJP. They made all Indians proud.
