The K L Sharma Chat

Chaddiwala: You can say it that till now the coalitions which were formed at the Centre have not been succesful. But at the same time such coalitions have been succesful by and large in various states. And the question why these coalitions are not successful at the Centre is: That the partners which came together for forming a coalition had been quarrelling on non issues. And had been suffering from lack of mutual confidence. Even then I will say that whatever experiments were made at the Centre, at least twice the BJP or the erstwhile BHARATIYA JAN SANGH proved to be a stable factor. And the prejudices against this stable factor was the main reason for the collapse of these coalitions.

Mandar, how true...but the iron is just hot..you just witnessed how at a whim the govt fell down...atleast with BJP the party did not build castles in the wind..it tried to make it but failed due to the forces of the other side being stronger

what is secularism = which country in the world can boast of minority presidents only india-Go abroad anywhere- if you are not local you are treated like a dog...here a foreigner is welcome and more well treated than a native...is this the price we pay to be the most tolerant religion? ...anybody?

to all the people who love the word secularism please go abroad and see for yourself what it means to be a chinese,arab or a britisher

Mukesh, are you employed by the BJP by any chance? Only a naive individual would blabber such nonsense. The BJP is like 24 carat gold. Indeed! Do you have any basis for such unadulerated crap? I am a Hindu myself, but I believe the BJP has harmed the Hindu faith than any invader has done in centuries past!

Donald: Perhaps this question relates to a press report from Lucknow where it has been mentioned that Shri A B Vajpayee has indicated for going ahead to form a national democratic alliance. But at the same time Mr Vajpayee made it very clear that only some efforts are being made in this direction. And nothing concrete has emerged now. As far as the BJP is concerned we have given ample proof of the fact that the BJP can work with its allies in an atmosphere of mutual confidence. Even now we have four coalition governments in the state of Maharashtra, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and very soon we will form a government in Bihar with the help of Samta Party. In this process, we have succeded in winning the confidence of our allies. And therefore we feel that even in the future the BJP will continue its efforts to form a government at the Centre with existing allies and adding some more allies.

it is sad we hindus are our own enemies ...

Mr Sharma, why is your country's political situation so unstable? Why do you guys always put yourselves before your country?

Mr Sharma: what will the BJP's agenda be if it every wins power? People like myself fear that we will be marginalised in Indian society. Already in many parts of India, jobs and homes are unavailable to Muslims and Christians. Your party speaks of appeasement to none. Why should we believe you?

Thank you, Sharmaji.

keshav...In haryana when the bjp ruled the people i talked to complained that the government was too honest for thier liking..implying ?

Keshav Baliram: It is a very unprecedented situation. And in this situation, I feel that the combination which has lost its majority on the floor of the House should not be invited once again to form the government. It has never happened before. So therefore the UF has forfeited its right to form the government now. And therfore the solution of the present impasse is either a BJP-led government at the Centre or a mid-term election.

Mukesh: Is that your real name? Or are you one of those BJP hangers-on?

Mr. Sharma: I have strong inclination to join the BJP. I am in the US and have strong inclination to join BJP. But for only one reservation - ur party's secular credentials. What can u, as a representative of BJP, say to provide the last straw and convince me to go ahead?

Mr Sharma, how many seats does the BJP realistically expect to get if a mid-term poll is held in July this year? Can Hindutva still get you votes in the present India?

Sharmaji, could you tell us the real reason why B L Sharma 'Prem' resigned from the Lok Sabha? What was the issue that drove this MP to this extreme step?

Mr.Donald..I read a article in the Bangkok post that the muslims were not treated equal in education by the government thus were mistreated...well i went back to british times the pakistan govt had trouble forming the goverment as highly educated people were not there ...but the indian government had no such trouble..well these are the facts..were did you get your facts ? i believe in mankind not one religion over the other all are equal and you?

ya mandar,born one will die one ...

cheers...what do you mean by secularism ?

Chaddiwala: It is an irony that the political parties in India are using double standards vis-a-vis their relationship with the BJP or the erstwhile Bharatiya Jan Sangh. No political party in India can claim that they have never worked with the BJP or co-operated with the BJP on any issue. But unfortunately when they need our help they will welcome us like friends and if they have to extend their support to the BJP then the BJP becomes communal and untouchable. However, the BJP does not believe in political untouchability. Any party believing in political untouchability will be eliminated from politics.

bye all got to go have a nice chat ...mukesh

Sharmaji, Why BJP is considered to be a untouchable party by the regional parties? What steps BJP is going to take to improve it's image with the regional parties, looking into the fact that in future no single party will enjoy majority?

Mr Sharma, if a BJP government comes to power at the Centre, in what all way would it be different from a Congress or United Front-led government?

Looks like you're hell-bent on ignoring all uncomfortable questions, Mr Sharma.

If you come to power, will you have the same cabinet as you did the last time round?
