Why L K Advani should be PM

This is April 2009 and as India gets ready to pick up its new Prime minister , I put up my thoughts as to why I support BJP.

Of all the parties that are in the foray , BJP could really boast of most capable ministrial candidates with the likes of Arun Shourie, arun jaitley, Murli Manohar joshi, Sushma Swaraj, Yashwant Sinha and of course the star performer for his state Mr. Narendra Modi. Congress doesn’t have such an army , its horses are all old and the party suffers from their baggage. Apart from Manmohan singh and P Chidambaram there is no publicly acceptable ministerial candidate with congress party, and it has been highly embarrassed by the likes of arjun singh and shivraj patil. And it is also widely and even internationally accepted that both Manmohan and Chidambaram had very average and even dismal performance report cards(read THE ECONOMIST for more elaborate results) .All the other small regional parties do more harm than good.

Accept this L K advani is any day a more strong and inspiring leader than Manmohan Singh. I mean a nation which has more than half young population roaring to go is represented by some person who has such feeble voice that it is difficult to hear him even if you are standing right beside him. Probably this suggests why Indian interests are really not given that much of importance in US and UN when discussing terrorism and Pakistan’s territory’s alleged use in it.

Although the so called black money issue raised by BJP seriously lacks in credibility, given that it too was in power and its own leaders like pramod mahajan and alike were notorious for under hand dealings, still , I believe the biggest agenda that the country faces in this election is that of Terrorism and at least for now BJP looks way more competent at handling it, given the disgusting performance and incapability of the congress government in handling the situation.

Congress seriously is a party of sycophants and old useless creatures ( a fact accepted even by Rahul Gandhi), and just showing some young paid faces in their ads wont wipe it off. It certainly doesn’t deserve to be voted in power again.

Rest is for Indian public to decide.
