All these parties including BJP stand up against the Bangladeshi immigrants who only come to India to get livelihood...its another story that we ourselves are a developing nation and cannot carry their burden. So i agree that bangladeshis are not wanted.
But this same party is supporting Taslima who is an immigrant herself and has come here since her country has thrown her out, unlike the other immigrants. These same BJP is now supporting her and inviting her to India. Why??? just because she is perceived as anti-muslim??? and more importantly elections are near.
Does Mr. Modi wants to win election on the basis of a bangladeshi immigrant issue???? does it mean that the people of gujarat will choose a government if it is ready to support Taslima???
Think over these questions people. We want to become a developed nation. All elections in developed nations are fought over economic policies, health, infrastructure and environment issues. I know for a fact that in Ealing (US) the ruling party MP was made to resign because he asked his secretary's mother be given preference in getting her travel documents.
Shame on us Indians on fighting on such nonsensical issues and electing governments on foolish agendas. Lets come out of this and let these politicians know that we will not be fooled again. They have to perform to remain in power and not come up with foolish emotional issues.

Hello Mr. Ismail, Even if every issue related to religion is kept aside, it is BJP which has fared very well taking India ahead. I do not say it is absolutely the best party available to rule the country in the entire world. But certainly given the options we have, it is the best!!! It tried to bring up the Golden Quadrilateral, connecting the four corners of the country with excellently laid roads. But after Congress took the reins, that project went into oblivion. BJP has made India a nuclear power, and as Dr.Kalam always says, Strength respects Strength, it is very much required, with more than two islamic nations being our neighbours..Gujarat, no doubt is on the path of development, compared to any other congress ruled state. Congress made many false promises in A.P. at the time of elections, which never are realised. It is true that Congress always tries to appease the minorities. Except that it doesn't do anything else for the Nation. Given all these facts, the country definitely requires BJP to get the absolute power, let that be at the centre or in the states! We can definitely expect a much better governance under BJP! that's for sure....

wake up! taslima is not a illegal immigrant she has got a valid visa. second thing when u muslims and pseudo seculars support MF hussains views regarding hindu goddess for the sake of freedom of expression, then why could the same rule not apply for taslima and salman russdie. tell the difference before writing these irrelevant essays of mourning
You accepted that the elections should fight on the issues of economic policies, health, infrastructure and environment issues. You must be aware that Modi's govt. recently got the best CM award from the Central Govt. You must be aware that Modi's govt. is the only govt. who grabbed maximum foreign investment in the state compared to others. No one can say that there is no development done in the last five years in Gujarat. So, on that issues may I expect that you will cast your vote to BJP/Modi.

Mr Sayyed, you are correct to some extent. Dotn compare Taslime with Bangladeshi immigrants. Bangladeshi immigrants entered into India like Thieves and burglars. She had permission to live in India, what about the Bangladeshi immigrants. In India Several religions are living peacefully Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Budha, Jain etc. But no one is trying to destroy the nation and Except muslims. Why???. India given Minority right and India giving jobs to them. Then What for JIHAD on INDIA??.
