BJP Leaders should think before approaching the President. The present President was supported by the Government in Tamil Nadu for her election, whereas the BJP had opposed her election. In such a case, how can they expect the President's action against the DMK Govt. Our Prez is not beyond politics - they are chosen by politicians and they have to support the group which had supported them in the election. BJP should behave sensibly and should not declare a Bandh in Tamil Nadu, where they cannot do anything successfully - they cannot win any seat without assistance from any of the Regional Parties. They should know their strength and declare actions, otherwise they will become a laughing stock in the midst of the people.

You raised a pertinent point on the President's reaction. Person occupying the President post is supposed to be unbiased and so have been most Presidents in the past including Kalam, who upon the Government's advice dismissed all BJP politicians serving as governors and also the NDA government in Bihar despite UPA voting against him. If the current President doesn't act unbiased, she will only expose herself and the BJP will have a brownie point to score. As far as organising a bandh in Tamilnadu is concerned you are right, they don't have strength there and will end up scoring a self goal.

The best way to have a BJP bandh in Tamilnadu at this point of time is to declare a bandh on the same day of DMK declaring bandh.
