If BJP really wants to be the 'Bharat First' party then for once it would stop sulking and extend an offer to work with the Congress govt to safeguard greater national interest. Yes, BJP should have been ruling party today and not Congress, yes MMS/Sonia should have consulted BJP while negotiating the deal. But then it is also BJP's chance to let bygones be bygones for Bharat's sake. Lets face it, if India misses this chance for back door entry to the big league then it can pretty much kiss any such entry goodbye for the next 20 years. Its pretty much certain that the next US president would be a democrat who would be much less inclined to complete this deal in its present form let alone anything more as BJP claims it would negotiate if it comes back to power.
Lets face it, Ayodhya was one time affair. Solely on minority bashing holds little prospect to coming back to power as the NDA allies would be reluctant to partner with a blatantly communal party and today's Indians are far too smart to vote solely on Ram Sethu or Ayodhya issue. OTH, if BJP now declares its intent to work with the govt then at least it can claim the moral high ground and earn back its patriotic label. It would then be up to Congress to take that offer of cooperation for India's sake. For once, let India be proud of its political leaders. Otherwise BJP would retain its petty-minded image and on the sidelines at the hour of Bharat's need. I doubt such a record would be very helpful in next election.
