If that was so, then perhaps Congress wouldn't have gone for economic liberalization in the 90's, then perhaps Congress wouldn't have decided to make India a nuclear power, and also perhaps the Congress wouldn't be as willing to sign the nuclear deal with the US. Don't you realize that all these steps are being taken by the Congress not to win votes but to make India stronger. The only thing BJP, MNS, Shiv Sena and their likes are good for is breaking up the nation and getting back into power.
