Note: This is the translation from the Marathi Daily, the "Nav Prabha" A good friend took the trouble to translate this so I could share it with you. Floriano Lobo goasuraj Nav Prabha Wednesday, 24, 2004 By: Laxman Sail. At present feel good factor is in vogue i BJP circle and people all around the country are wondering what it is all about. Masses consider the concept beyond their grasping capacity which they attribute to their illiteracy and others know full well that this is just a rhetoric as a part of BJP's electoral campaign. Decades ago people used to look at BJP as a party of thinkers, patriotic people, people who would stand by their professed principles. Today, it is looked upon as a party of high caste people, recklessly perusing wealth power and influence. What is the situation of the BJP today? Principles once dear to them are thrown to the winds and single minded pursuit of power is the only agenda item about which the party is serious. They say repeatedly that the opposition should co-operate with them when they themselves have never co-operated with the ruling party when they in the opposition. BJP's cardinal points in the agenda were : Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Common Civil Code for the entire country, and the elimination of article 370 of the Constitution of India. They know full well the fulfillment of the agenda will never happen in their life time due to a number of constraints limitations mandated by the rule of law. However, they never cease to harp on them to garner votes by appealing to the masses. It is true that a handful of self seekers have done well during the BJP's rule. But what is common man to find in it for himself? Unleashing of empty messages through the print & electronic media has anesthetized the brains of the the people whose back is broken under the heavy taxation, unemployment of the educated youth is at a all time high. BJP says that corruption was rampant during the Congress rule. What is our experience of the 4 and a half years of the BJP rule? Is it any different? Tehelka, coffin purchase and several other cases involving ministers of the BJP are evidence of unabated corruption which is flourishing under the BJP rule. Life under BJP rule has become unbearable to the common man. Cooking gas, vegetable, are his primary needs but they are beyond his reach. Nevertheless, this is the section of the people which is paying their taxes regularly. Those who are laundering money from the financial institutions, banks, etc are doing so with impunity. They are having the nexus with the ruling politicians and law enforcement agencies. Common man is facing a situation of despair and agony. Where is the "feel good" factor in the darkness which envelops him under the BJP rule? COMMENTS: Sure, we are supposed to feel good at everything we hear and everything we see and shout at the top of our voices that India is shining. As if that is was not enough, we need to hear from a core communal such as Advani that Vajpayee is regarded as natural PM like Nehru. Pray, regarded by whom??? If Nehru was buried in a tomb and not cremated on a funeral pyre, he would be surely turning in his tomb hearing these sacrilegious words from a rank communal like Advani. When one looks at Vajpayee, one will not see Nehru anywhere miles around. For Nehru came from an aristocratic and rich family, but he still had love for his country that made him sleep in jails through his fight for his country. Whereas Vajpayee!! He begged to remain out of jail saying "Maine kuch nuksan nahim kiya. (I didn't damage anything). These BJP-RSS hypocrites are now tired of whipping themselves with Sonia's name and her foreign origin. That hasn't got them anywhere. On the contrary, they have now to contend with the paralyzing forces unleashed by the siblings of the Nehru-Gandhi family namely Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi. And at these lean times, these hypocrites need Nehru's name and his image to keep them from drowning. No sir, Mr. Lal Krishna Advani. You cannot even take Nehru's name in your dirty mouth. Your Vajpayee would be a mere rank communal kite flying high in the sky in Nehru's secular hands. And Sonia Gandhi is the only person in the whole of India who can deliver the crucial and final death blow to these loudmouthing BJP-RSS walahs by withdrawing herself from the electoral race and being content with holding the post of the AICC President. Rahul and Prinyanka will do the necessary to give the BJP-RSS the deserved burial.
