BJP's rout in UP is due to its double talk. Look the recent SC's verdict on OBC reservation. Mayawathi whole heartily supported over the exclusion of creamy layer. She had the enormous guts to say that there are plenty of poor among upper castes who also need protection. No party in the Nation had even acknowledged the presence of poor among upper castes. So far the upper castes were wholly supporting BJP. When they feel that even BJP has not openly supported over exclusion of creamy layer, they thought that the BJP is just another party like congress and so they discarded it .Even commies and Gowde supported the exclusion of creamy layer from the purview of reservation. This is a lesson for BJP to take course corrective measures. Other wise they will also slip into oblivion. In Tamil Nadu also the politicians fail to understand the under current among the poor in OBC .They are more wise than before. They covertly murmur over cornering all seats for BC by the rich among them. Soon Dravidian parties will realize their mistake. Things are changing .No one should take any one for granted. RAJ

You are right. BJP seems to be party that has lost its soul, its purpose. At one time BJP had the mantle of being disciplined, upright, non-criminalized, democratic party - perhaps even a "Hindu party". Over the years, with completely inefficient performance in states after state markets with in-party bickering and fighting, corrupt politicians, being out of touch with common man, have reduced it be a political party just like any other. No wonder it had been consigned to be "national" party with just a handful of states. What a sorry state to be in, on its path to further marginalization...
