I have refrained from commenting on political issues for a long time. I accept that I am somewhat ignorant. But I will comment from the viewpoint of an innocent bystander. The CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General of India) is better than a diarrhea ridden cow at creating a ruckus. First the CWG scam, then the Adarsh scandal, after that it was the 2G scam and the biggest of them all, the Lokpal Bill.
The UPA govt has been taking hit after hit in the crown jewels and still managing to put up a wounded smile! And the biggest reason is the completely idiotic policies of the Opposition. If it was any other country, the PM would have been replaced and we would already have had another election.
The following are some things that led to the "Dunce" tag of the BJP:
1) Stop saying "Sonia Gandhi is Italian": I doubt if there is ever a press conference of the BJP without these words. True or not, we are no longer fascinated with her nationality. You never have an answer if I ask you to look beyond "the Italian". Besides, Sonia being Italian is not the cause of all the problems the country is facing.
2) Stop taking digs at Rahul Gandhi: You might feel very clever making small boy jokes about the "Prince". But he is called "Prince" for a reason. Believe it or not, he is a very strong candidate for the PM's post. So stop taking digs at people and start taking digs at the policies.
3) Tell Yeddy to fuck off. Party comes before person: If there was ever a time ripe for the BJP to cement its standing as serious contenders for the next election, it was when they were asked to man up and take a strong discussion about the corruption in Karnataka. You can't expect to force the Congress to take drastic measures to curb corruption when you have no moral right to ask them to do it. You faltered at that crucial time and his removal later was more of a face-saving measure rather than an actual step towards better governance.
4) Stop consorting with illogical Babas: Hobnobbing with the likes of Baba Ramdev and the likes will earn you no favours with the educated class. Base your policies firmly on economic facts and predictions rather than religious sentiment and you will stand a better chance.
5) Stop saying "We have many capable PM candidates": Come under one banner and then start your election propaganda. A party that is not united cannot hope to keep the country stable.
6) Have a very strict selection criteria for party candidates: Cut down possible cases of corruption and humiliation to the party by being very strict with selecting your candidates and advertise it properly.
Let us hope with time, these people realize that their first responsibility is to the people.
Ciao.

I agree. Other than puncture the inflated egos of the opposition, her being Italian doesn't make a difference. It does not matter whether she's Indian, Italian, Martian or Na'avi. Its become like..Ok, I can't find anything to say...Parliament has become boring...let me bash the Gandhis..

(b) It is not the CHARISMA of Congress Party but the weak opposition political parties, including Bhartiya Janta Party and the Communists that is the main cause of the CONGRESS survival. Main opposition Political Party BJP has gained expertese in creating problems for itself and have failed to gain from the mistakes.
