An Open letter to BJP President
‘Dharmameva Jayate’. At our school main entrance there was a polished black granite slab installed. The slab had the inscription “Satyannasti paro dharmah” –there is no virtue greater than truth. I have taken the liberty to put my faith in all inclusive dharma- foremost among them being DHARMA itself – i.e. Spirituality and the sanatana dharma.
It is distressing and baffling to note the unpreparedness of BJP for the next elections, to the thousands of staunch BJP supporters like yours truly. I earnestly hope all issues were discussed threadbare in the recently held National Convention of BJP at Dadar, Mumbai. Yet shri LKA’s blog has not been encouraging. It appears many issues remain unresolved and unaddressed.
‘Aam Aadmi’ generally middle class workers and micro-level business persons take pride when the party supported by them comes to power and the expectations are high from such a government. If BJP wins it would be by default due to frustrations of the voters than any achievement of BJP. The following need the response of those in BJP who matter:
· * You yielded to opposition and media pressure while ShriBSYeddiyurappa was replaced. The same was felt about your reaction to ‘Porngate’ episode
· * You have not put up any pressure for ouster of Smt.Sheila Dikshit
· * Your action on reinstating Kashmiri Pandits should be more vigorous
· * You don’t have separate policies for each state. For instance what will be your stand on Kaveri water issue between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu
· * Your stand on Mullai Periyar dam is hazy
· * You will lose Karnataka also if you don’t resolve leadership issues amicably. With a result development is stand-still in the state
· The pitch of your criticism in 2G matters is not high enough
· * You make speeches for an enlightened crowd on matters concerning petrol prices, High cost of living and inflation, Value of Rupee. No concrete proposals from BJP
· * You don’t back up performing CMs and efficient leaders like ShriNarendra Modi to the hilt
· * Your stand on Lokpal issue, corruption related matter, Judicial Commission are nebulous to say the least
· * You have not made your stand clear on RTE, Telangana, Mining scams, nuclear power, agriculture, Black money retrieval from abroad, tribals (Maoism) in Odisha, Chattisgarh
· * Your policies and actions are Hindi-belt states centric. BJP presence is not felt in East/North Eastern states. Their presence in Karnataka also is diminishing. We have to wait and watch Goa. The media is generous to call you a national party though you are present only in few states.
· * In general you don’t seem to wish to win the imminent war of election or you have lost it before it even started
As a Bharatiya I wish to state that you as a political party will only get Hindu votes. If your policies are not structured towards pleasing Hindus you stand no chance of winning any election in future. You allow Teestas, Owaisis, Zakir Nayaks too much of lenience. It may be wise to introduce Hindu equivalent of fatwas, with the help of RSS/VHP. Have a clear understanding in black and with potential coalition partners. Purge out trouble makers from the party. I therefore stress Dharmameva Jayate. The majority of the nation demands ‘Hindu Rashtra’, which does not mean we hate people of other religious faiths. All it means is others cannot be given undue preference and handicap at the cost of Hindus. The recent judgement on marriageable age of a Muslim girl being reduced to 15 is abhorrent. What happened to the Uniform Civil Code? Justice should be based on egalitarian or communitarian (Majoritarian) principles. I watched a programme in NDTV a discussion on consideration of Islamic banking system. What’s going on, one wonders. HINDUS have not forgotten SADHVI PRAGYA still languishing in jail while other terrorists, scamsters, Bastavade are roaming free. Afzal Guru ,Kasab are yet to be hanged.
It has become a fashion for non-Hindus and media personnel to call Hindus as ‘bigots’ while they themselves indulge in bigotry. They have to be taught that Hinduism is not religion. It is Dharma or spirituality. Hindus can be non-believers while it is not so for others. One has to be religious to be a bigot. BJP should take up to avoid such provocations.
BJP ministers, politicians are forced to resign by UPA and media pressure. BJP also shows alacrity in ousting its senior ministers but do not step up the pressure when it comes to asking for the resignation of Sheila Dikshit, P Chidambaram to take up and speed up the trials.
All your TV debates lectures on economics related issues such as GDP, growth, development etc. are not clear to aam aadmi. You should issue simple clear comprehensible brief talks/write-ups in English and local languages. This is also the case on your policy and explanation for Hindutva. Please educate the common man on your policies and arm him to question the UPA constituents and errant BJP governments, on your behalf. Please realize, long blogs with high technical contents, loaded with jargon will not help aam aadmi understand the matter. None reads the long technical blogs, due to lack of interest, time and other available interesting diversions. They would rather watch silly reality shows. Whatever news they watch in News channels is also biased versions with half truths.
When Dr.Subramanian Swamy could take on the might of Congress, one wonders why is BJP with a powerful back-up shy and inhibited. It is also distressing to note that Shri.Ram Jethmalani, Shri.Arun Jaitley representing UPA politicians in criminal cases and this weakens BJP stand. It clearly evinces lack of conviction of these leaders. Many of them are sailing in two or more boats.
The future of Bharat lies in it being declared a Hindu Rashtra and Sanskrit as its language. After all the partition took place on the premise of a Hindu India and a Muslim India. Now politicians are Islamising the nation for dirty vote bank. Political parties want to win the elections for satisfying their personal needs and not for serving the nation. Winning the nation has become an end in itself. Public is forgotten immediately after election. Artha Shastra, Manu Riti shastra/Manu smriti, Bhagwat Gita should be followed and published in Simple format in English and local languages.
It is mandatory for BJP to come to power. They have to strive hard to get majority and harder to retain the power. If a BJP supporter wishes to see shri.Narendra Modi as PM, it is because of his proven record despite heavy NaMo bashing from Media, governments, and some BJP members. He has weathered well. BJP should be proud to have him in the party and all including non-BJP govts have to emulate him.
I earnestly hope all those who matter in BJP will pay heed to this appeal and take steps for lasting peace.
Dharmameva Jayate. Jai Bharat
