All are the same
by Gan Ann on Oct 04, 2007 02:31 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Well said Rajnath, I liked your party when it came to power, I hoped that this would behave different than other lot. But I am not dissatisfied.

You also need some introspection.

1. BJP completely sidelined it's ideology when in power, and continue to that even today.
2. BJP also indulges in minority appeasement. It did and doing and will do. look at the recent past.
3. Could not do much to instill the sense of national pride and a strong scense of national patriotism in the people.
4. It still supports regional separatist moments just to come to power again, leavign the national integrity and interest to the fate.
5. Curroption scandals are not less magnititude to that of the other parties.
6. Could not work a solution to unite the cast system and bring a scence of togetherness in the people of countty, especially among Hindus.
7. Not onlt taking mileage on the insidents, give some constructive ideas to the government, even if you are in opposition. Don't think that national responsibility is not on your shoulders the moment you lost the power. As pa political party the onus lines on you.

Have some conviction, vision for the country and work towards it.

No she is not. her husband, Late Rajib Gandhi is the son of Late Firoz Gandhi, who was a Parsi (from Persian origin) and was not related to M.K Gandhi anyway.

I came to know that from the discussion that she is an Italian. I have many indian friends and Indians are intelligent and harmonious immigrants and India is the country with most happenings today, why cant they have a proper leader of Indian origin. I have seen them fighting withe name of this person. Why they still wants some one from other country to make policies.

I think people are talking against Sonia not because she is a foreigner, but out of frustation that the country doesn't have a native to lead congress. We are still made to depend on white skin, by the Congress.

So you will be happy if a "black skin" takes over?

I want a native that means Indian take over, Mr Partha Choudhury. Why should a foreign national should be allowed a top policy making position? No country in the world allows that. An india born cannot assume high political offices in Italy, US, UK. Don't we have a strong fellow to lead the congress party from a billion? It is a shame that a 100 years old party could not produce a leader outside the Nehru family.

Actually the answer to that is NO.. We dont have a strong leader.. gimme one person around you who can be a leader.. The closest someone comes to is probably LN Mittal.. We need his kind of person.. No other businessman (I incl all Ambanis, Murthys), film stars, cricketers, social workers, mahila sammelan presidents, socialites, artistes etc. You want a leader .. think Truman, think Mao (and dont gimme that crap abt Commies system being diff.. leader is a leader), Bismarck,Churchill, and closely (except 1 mistake in life) George W Bush Let the invectives begin..
