I am back yet again with another blog after a long time. My personal and professional commitments had kept me away from writing another blog after the general elections.
Well, Elections-2009 had brought out a surprise in the form of the unexpected victory of the Congress, a pro incumbency factor unexpected in the present elections. The victory has to be attributed much to the clean image of our prime minister. The media had much hyped about the arrival of the new Gandhi (Rahul) in Indian politics, but it is undeniable that Dr Singh's clean image had helped the Congress to retain the power. It is time for rejoicing for the congress and set about to govern with out carrying the bane of the communists. They can rule with out being restrained by the black mail tactics of the left. It is the victory of the congress and it is their time.
BJP's LOSS
The loss of the BJP was a great surprise and a disappointment. There are many factors that attributed to the loss of the BJP in this Elections.
BJP is steeped in defeatism, a psychic which they imbibed after the Elections-2004. BJP failed to capitalize on the failures of the Congress Government. The BJP had to effective game plan when they went for the Elections coupled with factionalism and groupism with in the party. The BJP also lacked a towering and a national leader like Vajpayeeji in this elections who can transcend the difference and can be a unifying factor for the entire country. Their greatest folly was their tirade against the minorities and also the personal attacks on the Prime Minister.

THE WAY FORWARD
The road has not ended for the BJP. In fact they are entering a new phase. But they need to be a deep introspection on the way the party is going. It is a good thing that we have some one to highlight the plight of the majority community. But the BJP needs to awaken to the reality that India is not just made of the Hindus, but there are the Christians, Muslims and other religions. One cannot rule India by out right rejecting these communities. They have been part of India from time immemorial and there is no India with out them. Hence the BJP should reach out to these religions. Greater opportunities ought to be given to younger leaders. The BJP has to create a whole new bank of leaders who are young and who will play the key role for the future not only for the party, but also for the country. BJP has to prove that they can be great unifying factor for India. Otherwise the demise of the great dream of a change can be death knell for Indian Democracy. It is BJP's time for rejuvenation and they should be back fighting fit. They along with the Congress are the future.
ALL THE VERY BEST FOR THE FUTURE, BJP. TIME IS THE BEST HEALER. YOU WILL BE BACK FIGHTING FIT WITH NEW FACES. YOU ARE THE FUTURE
