The Goa Su-Raj Party, Goa's forward looking Regional Political outfit, views
the statement made by the National President of the BJP, Mr. Nitin Gadkari
Quote WILL SCRAP FDI IN RETAIL IF VOTED TO POWER Unquote with a pinch of
salt and which leaves much to be desired.
This goes contrary to BJP's blue-eyed boy Arun Shourie, when he has
supported the diesel price hike as well as FDI in retail. It must be noted
that one of the BJP's election planks for the 2002 Parliamentary Elections
was pro FDI. It looks like the BJP's thinking is on these lines: ' When the
Congress does it, it is WRONG and the Nation will drown, but when we do it,
it is RIGHT and the Nation will be saved'. Is it???
It looks like the BJP's leadership is rudderless and is swinging to the
winds like the 'air-sock'.
For a political party waiting in the by-lanes to come back to power, the
least that is expected of it is to check it's own record on issues that
they have been hammering the general public with, earlier, and to show a
little bit of consistency in what it says and does. Primary, above all, the
BJP is required to ooze out 'confidence' with statements like "when we come
to power' and not 'if voted to power', so that the people may take it
seriously for once.
After 'Babri-Masjid - Ram Temple ', and 'India Shining' debacles, if the
BJP is going to cling to every issue such as FDI, diesel price rise, etc.
etc. with which the Congress in sprinting way ahead, it shows the
bankruptcy of thought process and gives the impression that the BJP is
clutching to every straw that is floating by to save itself from drowning.
Hope better sense prevails.
