It was BJP which developed a superb relationship with US and Israel. Congress was opposing the relationship with Israel.
Manmohan may be a good Finance Minister, but he proved to be the worst PM of the country. A PM should not be spineless. He must be capable of taking tough decisions.
The credit for liberalization, liberal thinking must go to P V Narasimha Rao, who is a staunch Hindu and anti-Congress, in spite of being in Congress. That is why the Congress party conveniently ignores him.
The credit for strong defence also goes to BJP, which had the guts to explode 5 nuclear bombs on the same day.
I agree BJP may not be the perfect party, but it is better than Congress and Communists, who are out to destroy Hinduism.
