We don't want one set of manipulative, greedy and characterless leaders being replaced by another set of manipulative, greedy and characterless leaders. We gave BJP a chance in 1999 and their government was no different from the congressi government. An ex-IIT guy called Satyanarayan who complained to the Prime Minister directly about corruption was muderded by the road construction mafia showing the reach of the mafia right inside the prime minister's office. I will care about this so-called change only if we see the following: 1) change the police laws so that the police serve the people of India and not the government 2) hang the corrupt politicians, criminals and government officials 3) sign the 123 nuclear deal so that we have electricity 4) be tough on all anti-nationals: terrorists, corrupt politicans and criminal mafia. Does Advani has guts to do this? Modi, maybe but Advani, no. These politicans cannot save India, it's the collective responsibility of us common citizens. Support truth and justice in your day to day life. Promote, help and support people who show these traits while practicing these traits yourself. Demand honesty and openness from all. Stand against the corrupt even if they are of the same caste as yours.

I wholeheartedely agree with what Kumar has written. I think if Modi becomes P.M. we have some hope that he will birng radical changes. Advani seems to be spent force. We must get rid of corruption. In my native village in Bihar state even today there is no electricity.
