Am not sure if V. Sreenivasa Prasad would win, he is an very arrogant personality. I have seen on my own eyes, he shouting at on of the public , at that time he was in power. Now he is begging the public.
Common man thinks BJP is tough on terror! In reality congress is very tough on what it thinks as terror! Here are a few examples,
1. Day before yesterday, some techies were shouting .”Modi, Modi, Bharath maata Ki jai. “. Everybody knows they were terrorizing congress. Obviously they were arrested, beaten up and released in the most democratic way
2. Another incident when a 3rd year college girl student was wearing a shirt that said “Modi” obvious declaration that she was a terrorist, so, a Congress supporters, harassed and made her to cry! Again democracy wins!
3. Yesterday All the samjota express burning accused were found innocent and released by the court. Yet Congress held them in jail got 12 years! on “Hindu terror ” charge! That is the hallmark of democracy and secularism as well as tough on terrorism!
4. Another aspect of congress is fairness! As Sam pitroda pointed out, some 10 people came to India on their own will from Pakistan buying their own train ticket and conducted terrorism in Bombay on 26/11. How can we say Pakistani people did it? It could even be Hindu terror! As all the terrorists had Indian passports too! That is why they did not send any planes to pak after 26/11. After all, piroda pointed out that how can we even trust our army? He has a point! He was our national advisor under Rajiv and his son thinks Rahul is a genius too!
Congress is tough on terror, but they may be slightly off on what is terror!
