BJP: A Party in Disarray

It is an apt observation on the BJP’s preoccupation with Hindutva and its lack of understanding of the Indian electorate. The party is now largely being led by overconfident politicians who have failed miserably in learning the correct lessons after the 2004 debacle. The latest election result should be an eye-opener for it.

Ram cannot be thought to be confined to one small area and the spirit of Ram should not be debased by politicising him to gain a narrow, political advantage. India is a pluralistic state and belongs to all Indians irrespective of colour, caste, creed or religion. The BJP must understand this. Only then can it truly aspire to provide political and social leadership to India and Indians.
