In a multi-party democracy, like India, where everyone has strong opinions, it is fine for each voter to show his or her preference. No point in abusing each other - in this site, at least, we shd leave such things to Parliament and legislative assemblies - although, we can evaluate parties. Let us educate each other, inform each other on issues of concern to the country. Not committed to any party, I examine the policies of each party, AS IMPLEMENTED, not as announced. Track record is better proof than what is "planned". I ask, "Which party has had the first opportunity to lay down the "blue print" for politics in India? Ans: The Congress. "Which party had the most chance (55 years) to rule the country, not only at the centre but in the states also?" Ans: The Congress. "What is the track record of this Congress?" My Ans:(1) Brought caste and religion to the centre of Indian politics by mis-using "reservations" and "secularism" as election tools. Now, EVERY PARTY IN INDIA IS COPYING THE CONGRESS. Sons copy the father in smoking and drinking. Congress missed a chance to set a good example. (2) Without benefitting the poor, introduced CORRUPTION through a "Licence-Permit Raj" while stiflying India's economic growth for 50 years. When a small places like Singapore and Korea were recording enormous economic activity, our industrialists were spending time at government offices, negotiating bribes. To get telephone:TWO yrs, to buy scooter: FOUR YRS, and so on. Think facts.

I wish BJP was not so desperate to get power and compromise on its core issues.BJP absolute majority rule is the best thing that could happen to the country. BJP should learn from Mayawati who never compromised on her stand, played for long term rather than short term and now is the Queen of UP. BJP should return to its Hindutva agenda which is not limited to Ram Temple.It may take a while but it is the only chance of making India a great nation.
