India is unique though in that our opposition simply cannot put the good of the nation above good for themselves and our electorate do not punish them for doing that.

Haha. Same for BJP. Just that their pro Hindu stance makes it less likely for them to go against Bharatiya interests. But leaders are corrupt in BJP as well.

Agree
Jaitley should go...NDA needs couple of big bang reform.

A policy or scheme which will overtake something like mnerga. Mnerga was a game changer for cong in 2009.

Like Shourie put it - "Congress Plus a Cow" thats all Modi has managed 1.5 years into office

it's not like they didn't try to push through reforms. Rahul and Mumiji were not exactly being helpful.

Err......why would anyone expect them to be? Not like the BJP was any different when they were in the opposition, Jailtey himself was the prime proponent of that behaviour. Which was why the reforms should have come through executive actions & getting the states that you control to do the other bits.

Not being anti Hindu is a big thing in India. Other parties are largely anti Hindu.

Perhaps it was not a great idea to push Arun Shourie out? I remember watching one of his interviews before the elections in 2014. He was completely pro Modi and although he did not say it in words, he seemed interested in a cabinet position.

Not really, they were the ones who destroyed the US-India nuclear deal even if they now would like to see the law changed. They didn't care much for India's interests then, I warned then that the Congress would pay them back in their own coin.

No. That still remains controversial. We hardly know the details.

I think they played him which partly explains his bitterness. They told him that he was being considered, used him to talk Modi & his government up, then left him out in the cold without displaying even the slightest courtesy. While what he says about the government is largely accurate, if a little harsh at times, that bitterness does come out.

Why was he pushed out ? Turf war?

Not whether it remains controversial or not, the BJP has tried to dilute that very same law using other means. In any case, that wasn't the only law that the BJP held up. They did it to many other reforms too.

I don't know.

Yeah... The BJP,did not play their cards well. Democratic oppositions in other countries are not this bad though because the electorate watches and punishes this kind of behavior more than we do.

Hail Modi's wisdom again , he should have kept him closer rather pushing him to corner

Hehe. May be Lalu ji can distribute it as prasad. No offence to Hindu sentiments. But heck, that should not count anyway.
