Hindutva and BJP ..............
Friday, May 29, 2009
After having analyzed the raise of BJP in national politics in my previous piece 'Polarization and politics' i would spend some time on further relevance of religion in politics . In politics no big idea can be played again in a short span of 2-3 decades . Religion appealed to the people in 1992 but it is a spent force now . BJP's over-killing of Hindutva would be detrimental to it's future as Indian voter is far more objective now . New found economic prosperity and 'oppurtunity' if i may say has made the voter very demanding politically and the old idea is not going to stimulate .
While i will not comment on whether BJP should be abdicating Hindutva as a whole i would definately say that masculine version of it should be abandoned . I strongly believe the results of the elections would have been very different had it not been the third front . BJP has so many administritative issue to launch a tirade on . It is going to be quite tough and BJP should wait for anti-incumbency more than anything else . It's biggest concern should be the administration in BJP ruled states . All NDA ruled states should offere exceptional governance and their leaders should do a job similar to Modi or Nitish . So far MP and chattisgarh look good . Tough and challenging days ahead for BJP .......
I am supremely confident that my party would redefine . It is manned by extremely intelligent leaders ...........
