dont get me wrong. i am one of the biggest critic of BJP's communal politics which i feel is the biggest threat to the nation today.what i meant was that he was far less communal than advani.
U have to give him credit for Pokhran II which was in keeping with India's long term nuclear policy. What i hate abt today's BJP is that they have given greater importance to silly political games over issues of national importance.
In this regard, things would have been different if Atal was in power(in BJP). this is clear from views of Brajesh Mishra ex National Security advisor (who was considered Vajpayee's man) who has clearly indicated that the deal is good for the country.
