The party is doing a grave mistake in blindly supporting Telangana agitation. Besides all other things, it is risking its survival in the Andhra-Rayalsima areas, while its chances of recovery in Telangana region are and will be bleak despite such consistent stand. We are and will be losers everywhere.There are many other important reasons not to support telangana and I have written some of them in my posts in your forum. Sir, I hope u go through those things once again. I urge you to initiate a debate in the party forum/website on the issue of smaller states and have a fresh re-look at it.

This continues till we forget the attack and some time passes on. And then again we slowly start resuming things one by one, till anothet attack, and then the whole process restarts. Pak never has and will never will be serious about terror camps in its soil especially with reference to India. It might take on Taliban under US pressure, but not for india. US too has got limited interests and benifits. It defnitely loves to play in Indo-pak fire and continues to keep the fire burning to suit its own interests. Why is the Indian govt so spineless and inconsistent ? Why cant we have a clear cut policy and stick to it. It's time we had some consistency. whenever a part of india is attacked by terrorists, the first thing we do is to stop talking to Pak and stop playing cricket.

Where is the party headed to? Where is the basic ideology with which the BJP and BJS started off with? In the doledrums I shall guess! I say this sir and mark my words, "To be acceptable to the parasites who comprise the media, we left our Ideals losing not only power but leaving the country's future to some blacksheeps".

Fact is Kashmir is an Indian issue. For the last 60 years all governments including the BJP have been unsuccessful at resolving the issue and if through US help we are able to solve the issue, it's only in our best interest. If we need a solution to Kashmir then firstly, political parties in India should stop trying to derive political mileage out of the Kashmir issue (stop pointing fingers and stop trying to score brownie points by pointing out details that Indians don't care about). And secondly both India and Pakistan need to realize that Kashmir belongs to the people of Kashmir first and then to any country and, if there is ever to be a lasting solution to Kashmir then it will have to be the people of Kashmir who decide and both India and Pakistan should be willing to accept whatever be their decision.

In a sense you have absolved him of this cowardly decision by blaming it on US. There is nothing more to say. Regards Advaniji,

I really believe the UPA government has no sense of respect for themselves and to the INDIA. They are getting kicked out on each and every stage. The outcome of the conference in London is one example . Pakistan has all reason to smile on us because not only they have turned the pressure on Indian Diplomat to talk, they have also convinced the world the presence of India in Afghanistan is not justified. A big blow to our foreign policy because it seems we are not victims rather we are the perpetuators of terrorism. Would like to see your stand on this. Thanks and take good care of your health.

I was surprised by the way things have turned out last week, I don' t think there was a need to offer talks from our side rather we could have mounted international pressure to bring the perpetrators of 26/11 to justice. Do you think the present government is not doing enough on this front and what would you have done if you had been in power ? Many of the young indians like me do feel we should resolve all the issues with our troublesome neighbor and focus on building our country and making it a super power. What do you think India should do at the moment to resolve the issues and guarantee security to all our citizens.? -Madhav Reddy New York Hello Mr Advani Ji.

PUT COUNTRY BEFORE THE PARTY. Otherwise, remember that in 1999, Andhra Pradesh played a key role in forming a BJP government at the centre. I wrote several mails on the need to keep AP united but that seems to be falling on deaf ears of the BJP leadership. We are being treated as aliens in Hyderabad ala Kashmiri pandits in J&K. Why BJP is supporting all these. Just for the sake of a few votes in Telangana?

We never voted for Congress or Communists as we thought they are taking India to dogs. The closest ever Congress came near to Right politics was during the great P V Narasimha Rao's regime.
