RE:Advani is afraid of Mayawati
by Ramanath Babu on Jul 23, 2008 03:10 PM

There is no harm in Mayawati and her supporters dreaming to become PM. AFter all, we have the history of Chandrasekhar becoming PM with barely 35 MPs in his kitty out of 543. Anything can happen in india.



But BJP is not scared at all. bJP has a strong committed vote bank base since the time of is erstwhile avtar Jan Sangh. The reason for getting just 2 sets in the 1984 election was the sympathy wave created after the assassination of Mrs. Gandhi. Even committed hard core BJP supporters voted for congress in that election. On her death, BJP did not consider it as their opponent's death, but as the death of our PM. Although BJP fielded candidates, its supporters voted for congress and gave a resounding victory to it under Rajiv Gandhi, to send a message across the globe, that irrespective of party affiliation, we Indians are united in time of crises. That is the BJP culture and Hindu culture in general.
