1) Establishment of IITs/IIMs/ hi tech PSUs in the 1950s 2) Abolition of caste system, Zamindary and Hindu reform bills ; Banka nationalisation WAS a good idea then. Green revolution in 1960s 3) Nuclear explosion in 1974 4) Computerisation in 1985. Five technology missions of Rajiv Gandhi in telecom , education , water, panchayats etc 5) Weaponisation of Nuclear technology in 1987 6) Reforms in 1991 7) Nuclear agreement in 2006-7 to solve energy needs for future.
No original legacy of BJP except for the Ram Mandir, Lahore "terrorist" bus and Kandahar Highjack surrender.

These can also be added to the above list 1) Nehru going to UNO during the kashmir conflict. 2) Suspending state governments using article 360 in many a times. 3) Imposing emergency between 1975-77. 4) Nehru allowing Tibetian Dalai Lama into India which in due course China invaded India. 5) Soft towards terrorists always; in case of Afzal. 6) Exchanging terrorist for the sake of kidnapped Rubia Sayeed daughter of Mufti mohd sayeed. etc etc the list is never ending.

If you agreed me or not the era BJP ruled was one of the finest..no doubt about it.But your party with commies really created history with bribed media.These guys showed the world how facts(Real shining) can be rubbed from people's mind with media in a short span of time.But there is still a silver line..that is happening in state elections...

Hey India (Secular happens to be another tag just like the Congress flouts, ain't it?):
1) You forgot who's responsible for Reservation in those establishments.. Negative against Congress 2) Introduction of caste based reservation and casteist/religious vote banks -.. another Negative against Congress 3) So what?... BJP too did that... you forgot perhaps... your short term memory is very weak... in fact your memory itself is weak, unless someone is feeding 30 year old propaganda into it.. :-) 4) Agriculture dies a slow death.... from a food surplus due to "green revolution" now we are a food importor and food riots are shortly due to appear.....another Negative for Congress 5) Because of that weaponisation we are not getting Uranium for our nuclear power plants... another Negative for Congress 6) Good one.... the ONLY achievement of Congress... you know WHY?... coz this period was devoid of any Gandhis... :-) 7) You create a problem in 5), and are now trying to hammer a solution without having any consultation with anyone?.... you call that as a positive?... :-)
No original legacy of Congress... coz it was supposed to be dissolved after independence (read Mahatma Gandhi)... but is continuing despite his dictum because of selfish interests... Except for - Chinese invasion, strained relations with Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, and now USA, pointing improved relations as "terrorist" bus, wanting 300 Indian citizens to be slaughtered because of ego massaging of some c

Just a handful, not even a dozen achievements in 55 years of rule? pathetic, And you expect BJP to do wonders in just 5 years. Any way here is a list 1. Nuclear explosion. 2. Focus on infrastructure by initiating and compelting most of the golden quadrilateral(the national highway project) 3. Carrying forward the reforms started in 1991, and at the same time bringing down the inflation gifted as a legacy from the 1991 reforms(it was about 13% then) 4. Starting a bus service to arch rival Pakisthan. 5. Wining a war. The proportion of achievements seems to be 7 in 55 years for congress and 5 in 5 years for BJP. Now you tell me. I am not talking about the loss of POK or Loss during the china war Or the communal tensions whipped up during congrss rule

You are forgetting that the congress did the dividing part some 60 years ago, in 1947. Not imaginary division like you people keep harping on. But real tangible division. Proof of that lies in the existence of Pakisthan and Bangladesh
