BJP the really democratic party
by viswanatha seshadri on Jul 23, 2008 05:07 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The bjp is the really 'democratic' party, there is no 'dictatorship' over its members. People who join it contribute to its functioning. BJPians must feel proud of it. If the leadership takes wrong decisions, some members have the courage to vote against the whip or abtsain. In the congress, all members are 'paid pipers' on sonia's money. Perhaps, all congress mps were also paid extra money to vote, besides bribes to other mps. Hence, no defectional voting away from congress. Among leftists and moslem-controlled parties, the members may follow leaders bec of mortal fears.
Only the speaker had courage to show independance, perhaps bec he is much older than Karat.

Its in the culture of BJP to accept money. Dilip Singh JudeV and ex-president of BJP and Cash for question scam and saints of BJP accepting black money and converting it into white. Kargil coffin scandal.

Lande,

As if Congress has a clean hands!!

From Nagarwala case (Mrs. Gandhi's time, and I wonder you have ever hard of that case)to the recent bribery scandel in Parliament in the trust vote, can you count how many times congress was involved in one scandel or the other. Highly appreciative culture of congress. Classic example of Kettle calling pot black.

OK, Jai, accept your contention. Now tell me what you are planning to to change things. There is no point in just criticising political party. Tell me what concrete action you are going to take to step this corrupt practice by political parties.

Jai,

But we have to change that. Money and muscle power should not paly any part in nation building. Agreed, all are bad. But what is the medicine you prescribe?

Jai,

It is not like that. There is no point in just living like a slave. Everybody want we should have more Bhagt Singhts, Jhani Rani and Subhash Chandra Base, but not in our own house, but in the neighbours house! Because I want my child to study well, compete in the AIEE or IIT exams and make a career for himself. After all we have no taken any contract to make this country good! Social work, politics etc. is for others to do. I will just go to my office, work, blog, and take my salary home to support my family. To do something for the country is not my task. Is not it? There lies the whole problem. We blame politicians for everything. And if ever, we have to approach any politician in our life, I am sure, it will not be for something good. We approach them to get something done out of turn - illegally and as a people's representative they are bound to oblige us. If not we will label tem as useless MP or MLA. What we all need is to look into ourseves and ask question as to what we are doing for the country. What is our contribution to the soceity to make it less corrupt. If we are as helpless as a Shikhandi, then there is no point in criticising others.
