- Even BJP opposed computerisation and telecom revolution when Rajiv Gandhi introduced them.
Even those days, BJP "trivialised the whole issue and brought it to the street level, the way they have done to Nuclear Deal these days.
BJP's statement those day:
"How can we have Computers in the land of Mahatma Gandhi. India should stick to Cottage Industry ?"
Yes. You are right. BJP's great visionary Prime Ministerial Candidate's public statements.
And just few years down the line, when we had computer and telecom revolution brought great boom to the country, BJP claimed the credit for large number of "internet connections" in the country.
BJP issued full page advertisement declaring, that BJP has got more internet connections in 5 years than what Congress could achieve in 50 years.
