Why BJP is not hitting hard at Congress ?

Dear All,

Hope you all had a great Diwali celebration & I wish this Diwali Pujan brings prosperity to all.

Friends, I am writing this post to raise a debate that may sound strange but its really essential in BJP's interest - ARE YOU AS A BJP SYMPATHIZER SATISFIED WITH THE WAY PARTY's LEADERSHIP IS PERFORMING ? DO YOU FEEL PARTY's NATIONAL LEADERS HIT CONGRESS WHERE IT HURTS ?

At least, I am not satisfied.

This forum's cover quotes Hon'ble Advani ji saying " JOURNEY CONTINUES FOR US." A electoral defeat doesn't mean we get stuck but then sympathizers or ground workers can't raise a campaign. They can help spread a campaign but only the National Leadership can raise a campaign.

It is here I find BJP Leaders totally letting us down. Since the Lok Sabha debacle we have won a number of Bye Elections to State Assemblies, for example in Delhi BJP has won 3 of 5 M.C.D. & 1 of 2 Assembly Bye Elections.

What is more important is that Congress lost the other Assembly Seat too and most shockingly the DWARKA Seat BJP Won was with Congress for last over 15 years & was vacated by Mr. Mahabal Mishra on being elected to Lok Sabha.Similarly, Congress lost OKHLA too after 15 years after the incumbent Mr. Parvez Hashmi was elected to Rajya Sabha. Yet we find BJP missing from the Political Arena of Delhi & similar is true for entire country specially from the two major states Maharashtra & Haryana which went to polls recently.

In Haryana party was not visible much but in Maharashtra I firmly believe BJP would perform really well thanks to local leadership efforts & the poor ground realities in Maharashtra state be it Marathwada or Vidharbha regions.

Friends, if we love BJP & sincere to help rebuild the party its time we analyze what ills BJP ? When I try analyzing my observation is that BJP seems indifferent & missing from the arena because BJP National Leadership remains silent on crucial issues, to me it seems BJP National Leaders have got detached from State Politics or General Issues - they seem to be in a dilemma that - NEXT LOK SABHA ELECTION ARE TOO FAR WHAT IS THE USE OF RAISING ISSUES NOW or say WHY SHOULD WE TAKE TROUBLE WHEN PEOPLE DO NOT VOTE FOR US, LET PEOPLE SUFFER NOW.

Strangely, we do not look like a National Alternate why ? Because we don't speak on crucial issues - ABNORMAL Continuing INFLATION, EFFECTS of RECESSION, CHINA's ILLEGAL INTRUSION ON OUR TERRITORY & ECONOMICAL FRONT too and we don't even speak on crucial issues like in Delhi we as a party have failed to attack both Central & State Govt.'s for their failure in Commonwealth Games 2010 Preparations or related issues which can affect India's relations with the Commonwealth movement even.

The corruption going on in NREGA Scheme all over the country specially in Uttar Pradesh seems to be a non issue for the party.

The party remains silent on crucial national issues & seems to be vision less on international issues.Its not that our leaders don't speak on issues but its so routine & our agitations appear so dramatized that people seem to be disenchanted towards BJP.

Its time BJP National Leadership comes out of stagnation and starts a movement because the Message of 2009 Debacle is very clear - People did not vote for Congress because they were satisfied with its performance, they Voted Congress Because THEY DID NOT SEE AN ALTERNATE IN BJP. What I wish to stress is that now when people go to vote they not only assess the ruling party's performance but also the role of principle opposition party during the period.

2014 may seem far but in between there shall be crucial Uttar Pradesh & Bihar assembly polls and a weak performance would make Target 2014 illusive too. In between we need to concentrate on Andhra, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Orrisa as every extra seat matters. Only a strong concentrated National Leadership can do this some thing that is missing.

My views my sound strange or unpleasant to Leadership but I firmly believe this is what is going on in the hearts & minds of millions of Party Sympathizers & Workers.

I shall appreciate forum's feedback.

Regards
