What is the real stand of BJP?

In our previous article, we posed a question on Shri Subramanian Swamy which we had touched upon earlier (see here). Now we express our misgivings about the BJP. Last year, the current president of the BJP, Shri Nitin Gadkari is reported to have said:


We have moved from Ram Temple to Ram Rajya.



We need to ask the BJP, those who can not fulfil the promise of building a Ram Temple, how will they fufil the promise of building a Ram Rajya? The BJP under such leadership and guidance will meet the same fate it met under the guidance of Shri Pramod Mahajan. A defeat!

Shri Gadkari, you need to realize that Muslims will never vote for you, and so your efforts are in vain. And Hindus are losing faith in you, and you are happily sleeping!

On the Minority issue he said:

There are three ways to sort out the temple tangle by court, by law or by consensus, he told TOI. We would like it to be a collective endeavour and send out an appeal to each and every community and religion to lend a hand in construction of a temple. BJP is not an anti-minority outfit as generally perceived. We do not advocate any discrimination on the basis of religion or language nor have we exploited the minority like the Congress has in the past. The BJP is anti-terrorism and not anti-Muslim. They just practice a different mode of worship and that is all. So, why should we be against them.


Why can a party which talks about Hindutva, not take a stand on Islam? The truth and facts about Islam are well known. We, Hindus, must know it better than anyone else. Who are these politicians (whether Congress or otherwise) trying to fool? Instead of educating Hindus about the dangers of Secularism and Islam, the pseudo-Hindutva party is trying to sedate them into stupor!


He continued:

In fact, I would very much like Muslims to reach the top join IAS and IPS or become pilots, engineers the Congress has merely turned them into truck and bus drivers or thelewallahs, chaiwallahs or gatekeepers. The BJP wished that the benefits of good education must reach everyone, including Muslim women. We only oppose the attempts to appease terrorism . A mentality which makes Congress leaders refer to Osama-bin-Laden as Osamaji and term Swami Ramdev a thug in next breath.



Shri Gadkari, if you have access to an internet connection, please do a Google search on Major Nidal Hasan and read about the incident once. You might have a different thought about inducting Muslims into the Indian army in droves.


And the worst of all, Shri Gadkari associates the term Ram-Rajya with Mohandas. So does Gadkari also prefer the usage of Badshah Ram and Beghum Seeta, like the perverted Mohandas preferred? Shri Gadkari, if your promised Ram Rajya is that conceived by Mohandas, please implement it in your own party of psychophants. Hindus would like to have nothing to do with it. Shri Gadkari, before you attempt Ram Rajya, please establish a Chanakya-Raj for the Hindus! We guess, you would succeed in establishing Chanakya-Raj as much as you did in building the Ram Temple at Ayodhya.

These Hindutva Leaders are merely tying themselves into knots in trying to appease their target constituencies. And these constituencies are everything except Hindus! Instead of inspiring confidence in the Hindus, they merely inspire Hindus to surrender in the name of fake ideals.

We have moved from Ram temple to Ram Rajya: BJP


Manjari Mishra, TNN Jun 8, 2011, 07.08am IST



LUCKNOW:
Ram Mandir is not an election issue; it represents our cultural identity. So we are now moving from Ram Mandir to Ram Rajya, the ultimate social order introduced by Prabhu Ram Chandra Ji himself and later invoked by Mahatma Gandhi. This was the cleverly drafted reply from BJP chief Nitin Gadkari when asked the obvious question: Will the party bank on the Ram temple issue in the coming elections?




The strategy shift coming in the election year, may prove to be a rude jolt to party hardliners in UP who were banking heavily on revival of Mandir wave to better electoral prospects, but Gadkari stands his ground. Armed with comparative development indices of different states and a slew of schemes for speeding up economic growth, the new-age saffron warrior is clearly not focusing on Ayodhya. He is looking well beyond.





There are three ways to sort out the temple tangle by court, by law or by consensus, he told TOI. We would like it to be a collective endeavour and send out an appeal to each and every community and religion to lend a hand in construction of a temple. BJP is not an anti-minority outfit as generally perceived. We do not advocate any discrimination on the basis of religion or language nor have we exploited the minority like the Congress has in the past. The BJP is anti-terrorism and not anti-Muslim. They just practice a different mode of worship and that is all. So, why should we be against them.





In fact, I would very much like Muslims to reach the top join IAS and IPS or become pilots, engineers the Congress has merely turned them into truck and bus drivers or thelewallahs, chaiwallahs or gatekeepers. The BJP wished that the benefits of good education must reach everyone, including Muslim women. We only oppose the attempts to appease terrorism . A mentality which makes Congress leaders refer to Osama-bin-Laden as Osamaji and term Swami Ramdev a thug in next breath.





Coming down to UP, Gadkari ruled out any alliance in the assembly elections. Tactfully hinting that here were murmurs within the state party unit for joining hands with the BSP which he had to eventually silence. No direct or indirect relationship with Mayawati, Mulayam Singh or Ajit Singh. There were mistakes in the past but that era is now over. I have made myself very clear on the score, he said.





He is convinced that a true democratic party like the BJP stood the best chance to capture the power this time. We are pitted against a mother-and-son party (Congress) a family enterprise ( Samajwadi Party) and a single leader outfit (BSP). Moreover, the common man can now compare the Rajnath government with Maya and Mulayams regime and note the vast difference, he pointed out.





The common man has had enough of the elephant and cycle ride. I am ready for a change and we can fill the void. However, instead of harping on negative things I would like to highlight the positive. A promise to deliver and a well charted out development agenda, he said, could do the trick. The vision document he plans for UP, would suggest a plethora of projects capable of changing the status of Uttar Pradesh which presents a most curious case of rich state and poor men.
