[Reader-list] CONGRESSULATIONS

[Rakesh Iyer]

Dear Bipin jee

It's our Constitution which allows people to become PM even if they are not
elected, so while you can call it 'back door' entry, according to
Constitution, such backdoor entries are legal. If the BJP was so worried
about it, they could have called for a private members' bill in the
Parliament stating that only members of the Lok Sabha can become the PM.
This would have at least demonstrated their seriousness to the cause. After
all, they shouted in 2004 election campaigns that they will bring a law
against any person of foreign origin occupying the top posts, but when they
did have time from 1998 to 2004, they were sleeping!

As for the BJP, it has some great achievements to its credit, who can forget
these:

1) The biggest contributions of its PM candidate were to destroy Babri
Masjid, to sleep while the Parliament was attacked, to cringe when one of
the CM's of his party was ensuring that a pogrom was taking place properly
in his state so that his party could win the assembly election, to ensure
that controversial speeches were given properly during the Gujarat Assembly
election campaign in 2002, and also to bring POTA which did not stop
terrorism but ensured innocents languished in jail. Not to forget, after the
Mumbai attacks, he neither attended the all-party meeting, nor did he follow
his own words when he said that he will not criticize the govt to show that
India is united.

2) The best characteristic of the PM candidate of the BJP is to run and
hide, or resign when attacked. For the last few years, he was attacking
Manmohan Singh for being 'weak and effete'. His chela, Shree Narendra Modi
also joined him in this. Manmohan responded in kind first in the trust vote
(unfortunately he was not allowed to even put his speech thanks to the
opposition, so he tabled his speech), and then during the election campaign.
And our Advani jee couldn't even respond.

As for his chela sahab, he spoke some rubbish in Gujarat, but by then even
his chela realized the Guru had been beaten fair and square.

3) The BJP has had better contributions to our society as well, both
ideologically and practically. On one hand, they have ensured that their
ideology makes Indian people understand what our culture is: like beating
women for moral policing (Mangalore pub attacks), vandalism in the name of
protecting Hindu religion (like burning churches or desecrating them as in
Karnataka, Goa, Madhya Pradesh and even Orissa), or showing how Hindus can
be strong by taking revenge (killing tribals, desecrating churches and even
in some cases raping nuns as in Orissa).

Of course, this is a continuation of what they did in Gujarat, albeit, on a
small scale. Now I can understand properly what Indian culture is: a
reflection of stone age mentality. I sometimes wonder if people like Arun
Jaitley are in the right party or not.

4) The BJP has also contributed to our democracy through many ways.
Parliament adjournments were the norm even when Congress was in opposition
to NDA, but for the first time in the history of the Parliament, it was
boycotted by the BJP when they were in opposition. Great! The Parliament is
supposed to be meet to corner the govt, but our opposition gave the chance
instead for the govt. to pat itself on the back in front of the people.
Great contribution indeed!

5) The BJP's biggest contribution to the nation is to show the definition of
strong: if you can shout at the top of your voice, show your fist and chest
and go around giving rabble rousing speeches, you are strong (like Modi
jee). Otherwise, you are a weasel who should be thrown out. Great Sir!

Probably the BJP forgot that this is life, not Indian movie. Only in Indian
movies are heroes supposedly doing such kind of things (giving such speeches
at top of the voice, showing their muscles and beating down their
opponents). And our people may like sometimes to be just like heroes, but in
real life, they do realize that these are just fantasies and their hero
should also have many more and better qualities than that. The BJP should
come out of its day dream.

Of course, these are in addition to their earlier contributions (and to some
extent Congress has also done some share of their contributions to this):
like educating societies about how to conduct mass rapes of women with
police on your side, how to loot stores and not worry about getting caught,
how to burn people alive and so on.

Indeed Bipin jee, their contributions have been great. I am not a great
person though. And I don't want greatness in my society or for my nation.
Junta zameen par rehti hai, aasman mein taare aur panchi hi milte hain.
Mujhe zameen par hi rehna hai. Behtar hoga hum normal parties chunein bajay
society ko aasman par le jaani waali, jahan se sab ko oundhe munh girna pad
jaaye.
