I havent posted in a very long time, and in between, here is what has happened - I spent two months in Hong Kong on my internship, the Con'gress led UPeeA came to power with such a force that I am sure even they were surprised, the Left got the worst beating of their lives in the national elections, and the BJP had their own shock and awe moment.
Right now I really have no thoughts on any of these, except I did get a chance to talk to a person who was involved in the BJP campaign, and he said that things were really bad in the camp. There is a lot of fighting going on, a lot of factions, and i would imagine a lot of blame game as well.
My one thought was this - the BJP still has a lot to learn in politics, especially handling power and most importantly, handling propaganda. The Con'gress are the masters of subtle advertising. In fact, if you do not know already, it is thanks to the UPA government's great policies that India won the T20 World Cup in 2007 and Abhinav Bindra won the gold medal last year. Yes, all thanks to their people friendly policies of equality and justice. Bastards.
