Congress having a free run under uncharismatic leader:

Other night I was watching Loksabha highlights where Opposition leader LK Advani asked questions on secret meetings with Pakistan & America and Prime minister should notify the house on it. In response to Advani our Prime minister cleverly chose a line that” during NDA regime they also had secret meetings and house was never informed “


In another incident on Price rise Sushma swaraj highlighted Congress government failure on combating price rise. In response to this Sanjay nirupam targeted MP & Gujarat governments which were ruled by BJP.

Above incident shows that the government which is ruling us doesn’t want to concentrate on real issues or doesn’t want to see its deficiencies but replies to opposition in same venom as it was asked. The problem here is our national politics has always been built around emotional issues that’s why congress always plays minority card whereas BJP plays majority card and when real issues arises they try to escape and talk irrelevant things like our Prime minister did in response to LK Advani. If government was serious could have replied that it has never happened or government is trying to find the solution and House will be informed in a due course.

Media a great Help to Brand Image of Congress

In today’s world where media makes & breaks opinions, congress is using this tool efficiently and projecting themselves as the only party which is interested in keeping the secular fabrics of India intact though they don’t hesitate in playing minority politics as it gives them direct access to 15 crores voters and they want this voters to remain terrified of BJP thus they do little in upliftment of this class or getting rid of ghettoisation and implementing real secular initiatives. On the other hand BJP is always subjected in Media as a communal face though they have done little to change this perception as projection of Varun Gandhi or VInay katiar only adds to the fire. So Media has efficiently projected congress party as a party of youth or of todays India which is aspiring for growth & opportunities, whereas BJP is projected as a communal party. Even if Congress is failed to implement NREGA successfully the opposition is being blamed or if congress is failed to curb price rise opposition is blamed that they are trying to score political points and media always support the government or doesn’t highlight its deficiencies.

The cowardice of terrorism which this country is facing is being handled in a very soft manner and the moment any party tries to highlight the cause of it gets the tag of communal or a party trying to create a rift in the country. The fact is during last UPA term we had more than 16 Blast by Islamic terrorists but media & government were adamant that this has nothing to do with a particular religion, of course it has nothing do with majority of a religion who want to carry this country forward but some elements in their religion are doing it in the name of Islamic Jihad but no one is willing to touch that topic as it directly affects the vote bank. So with the help of Media congress is getting a free hand , they are least bothered about Price rise or terrorism or unemployment and they are facing little pressure from opposition or normal public as their brand image created by media is taking care of negative publicity





NDA VS UPA rule

The truth is that in the years of NDA rule they were able to implement more end users policies then any of the 5 year terms of UPA or previous congress government. They implemented golden quadrilateral projects, urbanization of roads was a great project, they also took greater initiatives in reviving peace with Pakistan, like within 5 years of their tenure they had Bus trip to Lahore, Agra summit and kargil war. That era really passed like a Fast paced Bollywood flick but to their credit BJP was remembered for Post Godhra riots whereas during congress rule there were several attempts of Islamic terrorism on our country and government showed very little credibility in dealing with those but they were awarded with another term. This has made BJP susceptible to hindutva card as they know majority voters are divided and the undivided vote bank of Muslims is the key to come to the power.

  1. Amit,

    Let me also point out that MMS(Minority Messiah Sardar) was silent about beheading of Sikhs in Pakistan. If I were a Sikh, I would be outraged if my Sikh PM does not offer condolences or punish the bastard called Pakistan. Honestly, a guy who can't stand up for his own brothers/community must NEVER be expected to stand up for his nation. To expect anything from him is like expecting heavy rain fall in Sahara.Sadly he has so much time left in office.
