Advani

Books written by Advani and Jaswant Singh have queered the pitch for BJP. Why couldn't they keep silent?

That is very true. Their books showed up both of them to be liars unwilling to take responsibility. They really should have kept quiet.

Did you read them? Be honest to say. Read first, then make comments, then it will reflect your maturity. Advani worked for the nation for the last 60 years, even before perhaps your father born (if your father is less than 60 years old).

Yes I have gone through the book, You will be wondered what he said about 'Kandhar Hijack', if a home minister is unknown about such things how can you believe that he can run this country in a positive way. Bachche bade ho jao. You are the future of India, don't follow these dirty politics, use your own mind.

Actually, I did read both books cover to cover. They both make sad reading. The way Advani refuses to take responsibility for *anything* is disgusting to say the least. That includes the Ayodhya movement, which he conveniently describes as the "saddest day of my life", the Kandahar hijack episode which he tries to wash his hands off, etc. Jaswant's book is no different. It is pretty clear he was taken for a ride by Talbott, but Jaswant tries to give it a transparent spin. Also, the parts about a "mole" in the PM's office make him look like a complete idiot (Yes, he backtracked on those parts later).

It is my views that you are discussing, so no need to drag family members into this. Doing so hardly earns you any respect.

My last post on this topic, so feel free to insult me, my relatives and anyone else you feel like.

The Saddest day of Life was the day when we broke the shackles of the ignorant rule.

Liar Liar Liar. Jhoothvani worked 60 years for the country itself is the biggest lie. Anyway you read the book first before telling others and check his date of birth and his first job as film critic.

Advani is a National Leader like Vajpayi , who have huge mass followers , while these Jaswant Singhs/ MM Joshis are just political leaders with no mass base & have lost last elections & many more in past. Advani & vajpayi wr only 2 leaders who won their seats even in 1984 , when there was sympathy wave after Indira Gandhi's death. Advani couldnt do more as per his desire as he was not PM & his party didnt have full majority . These Jaswant & Joshis are just doing leg pulling & cant do any significant harm in election or even on Advani's image.... so lets see how Advani will run this country now..hope his party get full majority.... mayawati is going to be Deputy PM after election.. so lets see how much freedom she & other NDA partners give to him.....as one thing is for sure ..that UPA will be wiped out after this election & chances of next govt. of NDA are fair..
