This country has survived & thrived for more than 60 years !!! Mr. Madhav would like us to belive that both the left & the congress do not have regard for national interest.
But how is it that if only BJP/RSS have national interests in their hearts, the country is doing well for itself? I am sure that it cannot be possible that 6 years of BJP rule has not only cured all the ills of the past but also made the country so strong that another few years of misrule of others will not hurt us.
I think RSS shouldn't make such radical statements, which might go down well with most of the easy to ignite readers of this forum,but cuts no ice with progressive, educated liberal & secular citizens of the country.

Dear Milind Do you even care to know who supports BJP and who supports congress ? It is the educated middle class which supports BJP and congress is supported by iileterate rural class and minorities(muslims and christains).If you find some thing wrong with this statement please go and find opinion in your surrounding neighbourhood.
Can you explain why congress vote base is for ever shrinking with the increase in educated people ?Any answer.

R Patil
Yes I care to know. I believe that the CNN IBN poll conducted alast week would comprise of educated middle class which gave a 76% approval rating for PM. Now you can dismiss this off as partisan.....but I will believe it has no reason to be partisan. And I disagree about Muslims supporting Congress. Ever since the Babri incident they have denounced it enmasse. And as a educated person, I do not see people around me supporting the politics of exclusiveness.

To all the 76% who voted in his favor - do you know that Dr Singh was one of the architects of India's disastrous planning policy shoulder to shoulder with 'great' Mahalanobis et al in the past? He floats with the stream. He did not invent liberalization. He is like potato who can mix with any vegetable. The 'best' reformer pair of Dr Singh and Chidambaram did not produce one significant infrastructural project in three years. Left parties were not the reason for this. BJP constructed 11,000 KM of four lane highways in just three years. The great economist did not raise the IT exemption limits by even a thousand rupees - he did not even adjust the natural inflation in IT exemption levels. An across the board service tax of 12.5% is breaking the back of every bill paid by the consumers. What did they do with all this money? They gave an employment guarantee scheme where money is paid to supposed rural labor without doing any work. SEZs are sold by the basketful. Gas cylinders which were in excess supply during NDA rule, suddenly went into the classic shortage regime of the 1970s. Mind you, I am not an NDA voter.

Milind one of my close relative,votes for congress , just because he is used doing it all his life many in illeterate vote for congress just because they are used to vote for the "hand sysbol" cannoth else beleive me.To tell to the truth many maharastrian hard core hindutvadis vote for congress because their economy is dependent on sugarcane industry and nearly all sugar industry is controlled by congress and National congress party member.This is the turth which I guess you never knew.

I know that Patil. Olliterates from the times of Indira Gandhi vote for congress. But that doesn't automatically mean that the educated people, middle class people are not !!! Because I am one of them........so such genralisations also are incorrect.
