Congress describes BJP as following a Nazi legacy
Political rhetoric perhaps, maybe it is the other way round as Hitler irrelevantly stole many good ideas from India (obviously, for example, the swaztik which seems to have been taken mainly because it looks good) just as many other countries in the West did.
More to the point, Tewari said that contrary to Mr. Advani’s claims, the NDA government had displayed no muscularity during its previous tenure. The Congress list of follies by the NDA included Kargil intrusions “they are culpable by negligence” the former Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s unilateral offer to sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, IC-814 hijack and the exchange of terrorists at Kandahar, and Operation Parakram.
Referring to a recent statement by the former External Affairs Minister, Jaswant Singh, that he would not defend Operation Parakram because he was not party to the decision to amass forces along the India-Pakistan border after the Parliament attack, Mr. Tewari said this amounted to collapse of the principle of collective responsibility of the Cabinet.
IMO: Strong words, indeed, and they seem to be accurate.
Also, the BJP/Sena alliance may be wearing thin. The tussle between the Shiv Sena and BJP turned bitter on Tuesday with the parties making contradictory statements on Bal Thackeray's refusal to meet LK Advani, in the city for a party function.
IMO: BJP really is beginning to sound too tame and unreal for some of its supporters and what is more, from a Maharashtrian standpoint some say it does not support Sena much if at all.
Thackeray’s refusal has made the BJP uneasy as the Sena is already leaning towards the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). A recent dinner meeting between Thackeray and NCP’s Chhagan Bhujbal is being seen as an indication that the two parties could come together in the future.
