BC Khanduri writes to Rajnath over his ouster
Now, BJP hit by ‘Sudarshan chakra’
Vasundhara Raje given three days to quit her post
Nervous BJP hesitates to act against rebel Shourie
Jaswant’s Jinnah: Dividing India To Save It
I supported Advani when he praised Jinnah: Jaswant
Modi’s ‘budhiya’ remarks, Varun speeches caused defeat: BJP
It was quite disheartening to read such kind of news in newspaper. BJP is the only Hope of an ordinary Indian. They were the first organization to demonstrate running a coalition in India. It is the only party which can play the role of an opposition. There should always be an intelligent and healthy opposition in India to avoid the country running into autocracy. Moreover we know and understand that Congress is an autocracy only. Govt. is Congress. BJP definitely has to behave a little responsibly.
They are fighting cats and dogs out of the issue which is not going to affect India or even the prospects of their party whatsoever. They themselves are responsible for creating an issue out of a mole hill. Launch of the book on Jinnah by Jaswant Singh. I have not read the book. I do not understand what is so bad about hailing Jinnah as a nationalist, secular. Praising Jinnah over Gandhi is not a crime. I am quite sure it is not going to affect their vote bank either. Everybody knows all the important tasks that Mr. Nehru had undertaken in those times of which even his family feels ashamed.
As a true Indian concerned about their best interests, they should raise the voice if anybody bad is said about Gandhi. Though personally I don’t feel anything is wrong in that even. Its been sixty years since we have suppressed the reality behind the partition and creation of India, Pakistan and the roots of Bangladesh.
But the bull shit that BJP is running after. It is bringing their frustration onto the streets. They are throwing all the skeletons out of their closet. It is not a healthy stuff in the democracy. On number of occasions, politicians stage such fights themselves but this time it is leading to the direction of self-destruction.

BJP knows and understand the reasons for its debacle in elections. Keeping all things aside, they don’t have a national ace to project. After Mr. Vajpayee, everybody wanted something better from BJP. No party in India has a reverend statesman like Mr. Vajpayee.
Some of the quotes from newspapers after release of Mr. Jinnah’s book, which makes me feel sad. Our only hope of freeing ourselves from the clutches of INC. I believe more in Congress theories but still something new and different needs to be brought on the table. BJP possessed the capability for the same. But now it seems we were just dreaming.
Former union minister Jaswant Singh on Thursday said he had supported LK Advani, who nearly resigned as BJP president in the wake of internal criticism for praising Mohammad Ali Jinnah during his visit to Pakistan in 2005. “I had stood up against the treatment that was meted out to Advaniji because I believed that he had not said anything that was contrary to facts,” Singh told reporters on returning to Delhi from Shimla after his expulsion from the party. “I had stood up for the right of Advaniji to say what he had said,” he said.
“Various reasons for the defeat like personalised attacks on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, lopsided campaigning, projection of weak and shady candidates, and in-fighting among top leaders were discussed in detail,” the leader said. “Failure of the party to motivate the youth, debacle in the Delhi assembly elections and Varun’s hate speech were also the reasons for the party’s defeat,” the leader added.
An internal report of BJP has reportedly blamed senior party leader L. K. Advani, Modi and Jaitely, besides other top leaders for the BJP’s debacle in this year’s general elections. According to a report, there was a perceived lack of unity among the party leadership and the BJP squarely failed to advertise its agenda among the general public.
The report also says the projection of Modi as the prime ministerial candidate by certain members of the party and the personal attack on the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh (which did not go down well with the people), were key factors in contributing to the BJP’s electoral loss.
The other factors responsible were: (1) The highlighting of the Varun Gandhi issue, which pushed aside the other main issues; (2) The party failed to assess the public mood in Haryana and conceded a virtual walkover to the Congress; (3) Elections were lost in Delhi even before campaigning began; (4) the BJP failed to corner the Congress on 26/11 and (5) Allowing the Congress and the media to corner the BJP on the Kandahar hijack issue.
A section of the BJP feels that the dilution of Hindutva had led to confusion in the party cadres and cost the BJP dearly in the recent Lok Sabha polls. It contended that Hindutva was “inclusive, representing the finest imprints of our cultural and civilisational ideas. This profound concept is the real inspiration for a resurgent India with which the BJP is proud to be associated.”
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh on Tuesday asked senior Rajasthan leader Vasundhara Raje to quit as leader of opposition in the state assembly within the next three days.
“She wants a respectable exit. She has made three conditions to resign -- that she be given a plum organisational post, the suspension of the two MLAs should be revoked and the new leader of opposition be of her choice.”
Javadekar said, “This is not a show cause. Nor has he been sent a notice for explanation.” The exceptional caution in dealing with Shourie, who on Monday had fired a barrage of charges at the BJP leadership calling them a “humpty-dumpty” and an “Alice in blunderland” while making a strong pitch for an RSS takeover, came from a concern that he could well churn out a steady stream of embarrassing “truths”.
The former editor has provided more than a glimpse of this when he criticised party chief Rajnath Singh for sacking B C Khanduri as Uttarakhand CM and acting against Raje.
The world of books requires some chintan, but fortunately no chintan baithak. Who or what, then, is the story: Jinnah or the BJP? The two are not entirely unrelated, for the BJP was formed as a direct consequence of the creation of Pakistan. The umbilical cord still sends spasms up its central nerve.
Two questions frame the Jaswant-Jinnah controversy. Was Jinnah secular? Do Nehru and Patel share the “guilt” for Partition?
It does affect any Indian whether Jinnah or Nehru was responsible for partition? It is like asking who is WORST.
