Ladli Laxmi Yojana: We’ll implement it nationwide and make every girl child a ‘Lakhpati’
My website received a lot of appreciation for the creative manner in which our team presented the message of greetings on March 8, International Women’s Day. The usual masthead of the website was replaced with three alternating screens, the first saying “Naari Tum Shraddha Ho” (Woman, you are Devotion); the second saying, “Naari Tum Samskaar Ho” (Woman, you are Culture); and the third saying, “Naari Tum Shakti Ho” (Woman you are Strength). The idea was inspired by the famous lines by renowned Hindi poet Jayashankar Prasad:
Nari! Tum keval shraddha ho,
Vishwas-rajat-nag-pal-tal mein,
Piyush srot si baha karo,
Jeevan ki sundar samtal mein.
(Oh woman! you are devotion personified
Under the silver mountain of faith,
Flow you, like a river of ambrosia
On this beautiful earth.)
“Shraddha”, “samskaar” and “shakti” — these three words capture some of the greatest attributes of women in general, and Indian women in particular. Nevertheless, it pains my heart when I look at the statistics about the development status of women in India.
• Female life expectancy: 64.6 years.
• Infant mortality: 57 per 1000 live births.
• 53% women give birth without the help of skilled health personnel.
• Maternal mortality: 301 (per 100,000 births).
• 100,000 women turned out of their home due to stigma of TB.
• Female literacy: 47.8% (bottom fifth in the world).
• 6 crore undernourished children and 80 lakh suffering from severe malnutrition (more girls than boys among them).
Being welcomed by a Beti Bachao volunteer
What worries me the most is the declining gender ratio in India 1000 (male) to 933 (female). In some states like Punjab and Haryana, the situation is precarious. Nearly two million female foetuses are reportedly aborted every year. We have a stringent law against prenatal sex determination tests. However, law alone is not enough. Last year, when activists of an organisation called “Beti Bachao” called on me, I said, “There is need to launch a sustained nationwide campaign, combining both government and non-government efforts, against evil practices like female foeticide.” Already, the “save the girl child campaign” launched by the BJP Government in Gujarat has addressed the issue of gender imbalance. Previously the gender ratio was 802 girls/ 1000 boys; it has improved up to 894 girls /1000 boys. Similarly, the Kanya Kelavani Abhiyan has successfully reduced the drop out rate among girl students from 41% to 2.5%. If the BJP and NDA are given the mandate in the next parliamentary elections, I shall personally lead the ‘Beti Bachao’ campaign as the head of the government.
Poverty is one of the main reasons for the discrimination against the girl child at home. This has resulted in lower literacy rates and higher dropout rates among girl children. During my travels across the country, I often see young girls, who ought to be learning and playing in school, carrying mounds of firewood on their heads. Clearly, it is the moral duty as well as the democratic responsibility of both Central and State Governments to strive their utmost to remove gender imbalance and promote gender justice in every area of development.
In this context, I must commend a scheme called the “Ladli Laxmi Yojana” started by the BJP Government in Madhya Pradesh in 2006. In a very short time, it has proved to be one of the most successful social welfare schemes in the history of the state, thanks to the political will and sustained personal attention that Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chauhan has brought to bear on its implementation. The principal aim of the “Ladli Laxmi Yojana” is to eliminate school dropout among girl students and to encourage them to study at least upto the pre-college level. Under the scheme, the state government buys savings certificates of Rs. 6,000 each year for five consecutive years for every girl born into a family. The girl gets Rs. 2,000 after she completes the 5th standard, another Rs. 4,000 after she completes the 8th standard, Rs. 7,500 after she completes the 10th standard; Rs. 200 per month in her 11th standard; and a lumpsum amount of Rs. 1,18,000 after she enters the 12th standard or, alternatively, attains the age of 18.
It is my promise that, if elected to form the next government, the NDA will implement the Ladli Laxmi Yojana in every state. It will be our endeavour to make every girl in India a “Lakhpati” by the time she attains maturity and is ready to enter a new phase of her life. As far as the girl child is concerned, her care cannot be the responsibility of her parents alone. It is equally the responsibility of the government.
Why I am a fan of Prasoon Joshi
Prasoon Joshi
Ever since I heard Prasoon Joshi’s lyrics for Aamir Khan’s Taare Zamin Par, I have become a Prasoon fan. In the context of the women’s empowerment campaign current these days, I chanced to see a Prasoon Joshi video clip of a touching song he has written for a Shubha Mudgal album, but which he in this clip had beautifully rendered himself. In this song a girl is pleading with her babul (father) as to what kind of groom she would not like to have and what kind she would prefer. The song opens thus :
Jiya mora ghabraye, babul!
Bin bole raha na jaye
(Papa, I am filled with trepidation; but I cannot but speak out my mind)
The opening stanza says:
Mohe sunar ke ghar na deejiyo
Mohe jewar kabhi na bhaye.
(Do not wed me to a goldsmith; I have never been fond of jewels)
In the same vein she goes on to plead with her babul not to marry her either to a prince or to a trader.
The girl winds up her entreaty with a seemingly quaint request.
Babul meri itni araj sun lijiye
Mohe luhar ke ghar de dijiye
Jo meri janjeerain pighlayen!
(Papa, I urge you to hand me over to an ironsmith who can melt my chains)
The plea may seem queer, but in our male-dominated world, it is very meaningful.

Dear Advaniji:recently one has read a lot about BJP unfortunately negative-Jaitley issue, Orissa etc. For a BJP fan these are disturbing, maybe deliberate attempt to stall BJP Whatever the case be people will tend to feel that the unity/will, required to win is lacking. Critical in elections is body language and when one sees you its always with a serious look-we do need that smile and feel good factor People are already sad with happenings and thus look for a leader who can motivate them, bring a smile on their face-sorry to have put this across “in the face”-having voted BJP in all state and general elections want BJP in power hence-please take charge as a PM in waiting, meet the media one on one, town hall meetings connect with people, leave press briefings to jaitley and get youth to form part of yr meetings-Its the image that will count-off a leader who smiles, has youth backing and cross section of population supporting that will win the day. pranam. keyur

Good Plan, Sir … I request you try to Implament it ASAP if you ever get to power … Wish you well ..
March 18th, 2009 at 10:27 am
It is really commendable to hear success stories of the schemes run by the BJP governments….it takes a collective will of the incumbent party, the various government and non government bodies invoved in the scheme for it to be successful and the fruits to reach the intended recepient…and if this is happening in this scheme then it is a success story which should be replicated in other states….and a lesson for governments who launch a plethora of schemes in budgets, help beauracrats and politicians make good money and fade away in obivion…..
March 18th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Sir this is very nice post
March 18th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Dear Advaniji,
Good to see your plans for women. Your personal image is too damaged amoung women to be repaired by few plans/announcements like this. When the mangalore attack happened whole of indian women were looking at you for help as you are the ONLY person who could have given justice to them, but you opted to keep mum. Months after, recently only you condemned it which sounded a election stunt. I along with millions of other indians like to see you to stand out of the ordinary vote bank politicians and expect you to act with your heart. Had you give a go to your karnataka team on banning the organisation which assaulted women, you would be greatly respected by women and other educated people, but you didn’t. Your party acted to save the criminals who attacked women, it was a open threat to personal rights given by constitution. As a PM runner you lost your image there. Please keep away from them, Ban them. that is the ONLY way you can win our confidence.

Advaniji,
I appreciate your Nobel thought in women empowerment , I have few suggestion for you in faceing next elections in Arr-May, Since your site doesn’t allow more words, I have put them in the link below.
http://advaniasnextpm.blogspot.com/
Some of these thoughts can have potential to create new history in Indian politics.

Dear Advanji,
I respect your Views and support it.
But you have forgotten our Elders,The Senior Citizens.Pls read below and hope you could help them.
The growing population and voice of senior Citizens can’t be ignored. At present India has around 7.5% of Elderly out of total population, but Senior Citizens constitute to around 13% of Voters.This 13% huge and powerful and unrecognized segment of voters can’t be left alone, they can’t be ignored. Political Parties has to include projects and programmes for the benefits of Elderly in their respective Manifesto. Government has to address the issues and problem of ever growing population of Elderly. This is warning call to all political parties if you ignore elderly then this strong 13% will rise and will make days difficult for you.

Dear LKA,
The post is nice and the initiatives highlighted are excellent. I am a big admirer of Modi and also the other BJP governed states such as MP. Clearly, most BJP or NDA ruled states are providing much better governance. The UPA ruled states are in shambles except maybe Delhi.
I want to make a suggestion. The “Advani for PM” campaign run by BJP is wonderful and obviously it is omnipresent in the cyber world. What maybe helpful is to tag along with the “Advani for PM” link an other link on all website to artcile such as the above. For eg. “Advani for PM” and then along with it “Advani’s views on Women” or “Advani and India’s IT vision” etc. These tag lines could be changed on a daily basis and a few of these tag lines could be repeated once every 3-4 days.
I wish you become the PM of India.
March 19th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
Dear Advani ji,
You are the only official prime ministerial candidate in the race as of now, though there a lot of other ‘private’ or ‘independent’ aspirants. Therefore it is worthwhile and satisfying in having a dialogue alive with you.
You will need a basket of 100 such programmes to be launched one per day, for the first 100 days you will spent in the office. It should have a wide range and impact such as health in general, women and children’s health, primary educations, farmer issues, small - scale industry issues, SC & ST and OBC issues, minority issues, marginal urban population issues, shelter or all, clean water, air and food for all, clothes for all, employment for all, round-the-clock electricity everywhere, multi purpose identity cards for all, jails for all criminals (including Sanjay Dutt), policeman/woman on every street, doctor in each village and so on.
Announce them by month end and let us see the impact it makes.

Dear Advaniji,
Atlast the true issue of gender bias and sincere solution to the gender discrimination is raised by you.The women of our countyr should be empowered for the successful growh of our country.While the Indian MEDIA is busy with the plight of the pub going women and the minister of women affiars,the natinal women comission is busy with settl ing political and personal scores on WOMENS DAY.THE Statesman has raised to the OCCASSION.I congragulate you on your concern,idea and the PROMISE…………….i HOPE THE REAL ISSUES LIKE THIS BECOMES THE agenda of the BJP……Finally if you are destined to become the PM can anyone stop it!!!

The idea behind this plan is good. But isn’t this discrimination based on sex? What about the male child? Poor people with male children, who never discriminated against the female child, will feel left out and discriminated. And even male children studying in schools will feel discriminated when their classmates are getting paid for just being female. This seems to be poorly thought out plan.
And what about the country’s growing fiscal deficit? How do you plan to manage that?
March 23rd, 2009 at 2:23 am
Mr. Advani,
First of all I hope you do get to read the comments posted by us. I hope its not only your campaign managers who go though this. I have been a BJP and your supporter ever since I remeber. I was born to parents who are loyal to BJP’s ideoogy. However, recently a lot of BJP’s stands have been too jingoistic. When I read this blog about Ladli Laxmi yojana, I liked the concept. Seems like the saffron brigade cares about the girl child. A question that arises is: where were you when certain antisocial element who malign the name of Lord Rama by calling themselves Shri Ram Sene were beating up the same women in Mangalore.
Sir, such issues have created doubts in minds of voters of my age group about the viability of BJP as a ruling party. There is a rot in the culture. People are using the name of Hindutva for all sorts of stupid activities. Its about time you stem the rot else you will lose the RATIONAL Indian.
March 23rd, 2009 at 2:37 pm
Dear Mr. Advani
We would like you and the BJP to elucidate your plan on infrastructure development in primary education. We would also like to know your views on the concept of school vouchers - where the actual choice of schools is given to the parents. We would like to know if other alternate schemes were considered along with the Ladli Laxmi Yojana and what are the merits of this scheme with respect to similar schemes relating to education? Is this the most effective and efficient utilization of resources for fixing primary education? What other programs in conjunction with this are planned to be implemented in the primary education sector.
Thank you and looking forward to a response.
Best wishes.
March 23rd, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Dear Mr. Advani,
India is a multifaceted country, multi religious, multi cultured and even steeped in multiple castes. And we have lived like this for umpteen number of centuries. I expected that you having lived trough 1947 will understand the consequences of communal divide. Seems to the contrary
Winning is important, but winning at what cost??
The list of questions is long. For I am trying to find the correct path, the path shown by a religion that is beyond comparison, that accepted and adapted to change. My religion still teaches me the same, are you sure your’s does that?? I have been proud to be a Hindu, but every time you berate another religion you berate me too. I learnt Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam in this religion long before world heard about globalization, but today my own country cant hold together, and I just wonder why?
March 23rd, 2009 at 4:54 pm
Such Yojanas should go to Villages, Not Gandhinagar.
Dear Advaniji, What is your take on Modiji, Now that Jaitley and Rajnath are apart.
Modi’s and Jaitley’s Comments on IPL are very Amateurish, Is Indian Elections Important or IPL.
IPL is Business, is Indian Elections the same way.
Let us Respect Governance, whether u r in power or Others.
March 23rd, 2009 at 8:50 pm
I am truly touched as a woman to know about your vision for our welfare. Please accept a suggestion from me as your supporter and admirer. You stand tall amongst the present day politicians, yet English media’s coverage of you as a political leader is insulting to say the least. Their suspect national and religious credentials results in blatantly prejudiced coverage of BJP and its leaders. To counter this propaganda, I request you to emulate Ms. Jayalalitha’s and Ms. Mayawati’s treatment of media. In fact, BJP should shun English Media completely since their limited influence in Lutyens’ Delhi does not determine the reach of a leader. It is agony to watch English news channel anchors ganging up against BJP members in connivance with Congress and Communists. Do utilize Hindi media to broadcast your achievements and ideology to reach common people. English Media’s waning popularity due to their inaccessibility of BJP’s newsfeeds will alter their attitude automatically.
March 23rd, 2009 at 11:24 pm
Dear Advaniji,
Thanx for raising a relevant issue on WOMENS day.The article actually brings in the depth of your understanding of our country.If BJP can raise 10 such social perils of this kind with the solutions ther’s no stopping of you becoming the PM of INDIA.
While the minister of women affairs,NATIONAL WOMEN COMMISSION and the UPA led govt are busy scoring brownie points on who is the custodian of the PUB GOING WOMEN,None other than a leader of your stature can strike a chord with the rural,uneducated and impowerished women of our country…
KUDOS TO YOU ……………Let the thoughts flow on…let the heart keep speaking and your mind keep thinking until we WIN…..

I am residing in Bangalore. The silicon valley of India! The troubling part is that this very city which boasts of being a cosmopolitan, the melting pot of culters of not only India but from outside, cannot respect its women and make them feel secure. Women being traumatized by some moral hindu policing. Is beating women by moral police, hindu culture!
Bangalore or for that matter Karnataka was not like this. Look at the events in Mangalore. Who gave the right to the some moral police to tell me what should I do, to whom should I talk. I thought we lived in a democratic country! And to add to it the home minister has the courage to say on TV that media should not bring such issues to him! I was a strong BJP supporter for past 10 years; But after what happened in Karnataka, and the state government’s inability to do anything about it, I am disillusioned with BJP. To crush the society’s freedom and culture, women are the most easy and soft target to instill fear.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:50 am
dear advani jee
i agree you are a great seaker and national leader but this blog of yours looks like a mask. is it the real you or just a mask on the virtual world. i don’t agree with most of your ideology. as this is an open forum i expect that you will post my comments.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:57 am
I wish you to be the Prime Minister of India.
But i have one question. Who save the life of people of munger (bihar) from Maoist Communist Center (MCC). They kill almost many people in munger district including police man. Your shaking hand party governance in bihar. Here is the some example those some people was my relative. 1. Dhapri more attack 2. Parshando Attack.
I hope MCC has linked with some politician. If you are really a good leader of india then you may take it seriously otherwise you may quit it.
I am a villagers of munger.

Hello Sir:
Ladli Laxmi Yojana is reallly a great boost for parents like us. Special thanks to this yojana.
I am staying in ahmedabad and i tried for the yojana but no one had answered properly. I contacted for same in gandhinagar. Lots of call i diverted but as usual no response.

I had a baby n she was born in jan 2008. I hope she is eligible for this yojana. Request you to guide me and show the exact way. My email id is jitgurbani@gmail.com
March 24th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
DEAR SIR, I SINCERELY HOPE THIS PLAN EARNESTLY IS IMPLEMENTED ACROSS THE COUNTRY.HOWEVER WOMENS ISSUES IN THIS NATION GO BEYOND SCHOOL DROPOUTS-RAPE, EVE TEASING, ASSAULT, JOB DISCRIMINATION ARE ALL EVERYDAY HASSLES. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MEASURES YOU GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO TAKE, IF VOTED TO POWER, ON EACH OF THESE ISSUES. ARE YOU GOING TO START BY GIVING 33%(AT LEAST) TICKETS TO WOMEN CANDIDATES IN THIS ELECTION?
March 24th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
This is, no doubt, a good and sound plan!! Do you think Indian public woried about such plans? No they do not. They are only woried about that Rs100 or Rs200 which they will get from attending election meetings or will get in slog hours.
Very painfull but truth. All of us (educated citizinary) know, what will yeild from such plan, atleast an educated citizenary. Realy a great ambition!! May good help you to achieve such ambition. I atleat wish and will vote for you, I promise. I wish my poor sisters also gets the beauty of education. Now if we come to the point of popularizing you on basis of these as well as IT vision, I am sorry, The Television News media will not allow us. They are not interested in development or security, if so, How will they able to telecast some heart-breaking and deadly terror story in their channel.
March 24th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Dear Advani Ji
I am sorry to say this but your ladli kakshmi yojna just seems to be a trap for poor indians who are buries under expenses of thir female child. this scheme is going to do nothing good for the upliftment of women in india. instead this will make their parents dependent on them and they will feel no need to earn by themselves.
March 24th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
sir i also heard you saying that Mr manmohan Singh is the weakest PM in the history of our country. But i would like to draw your kind attention towards the KANDHAR HAJACKING case where you released terrorists who are responsible for the mumbai attacks. was it an act of BRAVERY?????
March 25th, 2009 at 7:44 am
Good plan ; good vision.
But in a different vein -
shame on BJP and its leaders to support Varun Gandhi for his immature and bigotry full speech.
March 25th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
This is in response to @anshulnine above.
First, I do not understand how the above mentioned scheme will harm the poor. Is there a logic or are you just oppossing it for the sake of opposing? I have personally seen it work in guj and mp.
Second with regards to kandhahar, manmohan singh was the congress representative during the all party meeting when the decision to bring back the hostages was taken. He had insisted on India doing whatever is required to get the hostages back. Also, sonia and rahul were consipucously silent and never once opposed the move. They now falsely and misleadingly claim that NDA took the decision as against it beeing discussed in an all party meeting and they also forget that they had the same view and infact never opposed it. You will do well to read this blog by Mahesh Jethmalani http://friendsofbjp.org/2009/03/20/upa-and-terror-zero-tolerance-or-zero-will/
March 25th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
Dear Mr. Advani,
Both ‘beti bachao’ and ‘Ladli Ladki Yojana’ are noble ventures but:
1) What abt the cheks and balances to ensure that the girls are not exploited for money?
2) What about the burden on the exchequer given our already balooning budget deficit?
3) How about combining both plans into one with proper checks and balances?
4) Finally, why has BJP groomed a female leader with a potential to be the voice of the party and one who holds her own and leads the shows? All such potential female leaders have either been booted out of the party or made to lose their shine.
March 26th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Adaraniya Advaniji,
We believe in your vision of building a STRONG INDIA.
The people of India have been repeated being bluffed and cheated by use of the word ‘SECULARISM’. We have strong feeling that it is a flaw in our constitution which had adopted this word ‘SECULARISM’ instead of a better word ‘NATIONALISM’. All political parties are playing with this word ‘SECULARISM’ to twist and distort its meaning to suit their agenda of denying BJP a chance to govern the country which has suffered numerous wounds inflicted by these forces for too long.
Finally, Advaniji, Please in this 15th Lok Sabha induct excellent orators and speakers who can articulate views with mastery in the language and content to the maximum. In last Lok Sabha all yours good speakers were left in Rajya Sabha. Please take this seriously to induct such people in this Lok Sabha.
Best wishes
March 26th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
Dear sir,
I think this is best yojna for girls. but……. how can all girls get benefit from this yojna…
March 28th, 2009 at 12:28 am
Hello sir,
I am a great admirer of your attitude and the power of vision you have..
Sir, i request you to personally read this mail and reply me. i realy liked the way you have made an initiative to get a some what justice to the women inequality in this country. but my request to you is why on one side you make such respectable plans and on other side women and girls are taken to task by some so called moral policing. specially in the states which is ruled by your government. And when you ask your conscience deep down you would feel that government has litrally done nothing to bring these people to justice. And also why their should be ban on pub culture and not on consumption and distribution of liquor,cigerattes, gutkas, spitting on roads and buildings and also corruption which certainly is against our culture of mother india.
March 28th, 2009 at 4:46 am
The BJP Media Cell, kindly take note of the following and raise it whenever the well-known danseuse Mallika Sarabhai challenges Shri LK Advani in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
1) Mallika described in an English interview (a majority of Gujaratis missed, it obviously) soon after Modi’s 2007 win in the Gujarat Assembly Polls, that not everybody was brain-washed in the state, as several constituencies had seen close fights, indicating people didn’t totally agree with Modi’s politics. I, as a Gujarat voter (who also resides in the Gandhinagar constituency), found this statement highly provocative and insulting. It not only describes an acute lack of faith in democratic functioning on Sarabhai’s part, but also bears the hallmark of Laloos and Paswans from Bihar and Shaikh Haseenas and Beghum Zias from Bangladesh, who will either choose to denounce the electorate or the Polling authorities soon after any electoral defeat. (Contd)
March 28th, 2009 at 4:47 am
Now the conundrum: How will Mallika face the same “bran-washed” people for votes now?! Wouldn’t the latter give her a mental lesson or two when she reaches out to them?! But, she isn’t as much dumb as this story might suggest. This drama is not about fighting electoral battles for Aam Admi and Aam Aurat as she has started describing it. If at all, it only shows the desperation in her as a fake social activist, who faces an irrelevant future under Modi’s resurgent Gujarat. And the candidature in Gujarat and that too against Shri LK Advani will provide her with the same media attention that she would be dying to grab at this juncture. She can start abusing us - the Gujarat electorate - once more and also be the recipient of many awards from her cohorts in Delhi and other countries, once having been routed in Gandhinagar, yet amply highlighted by the English-speaking media; the highlighting has already started by now. (Contd)
March 28th, 2009 at 5:27 am
I think this is a step in the right direction. A nation can only rise if it strengthens and respects it Women, cultural roots and its people.
Unfortunately for India it is one of the few countries where its majority population of Hindus and its women have been far too long treated as second class citizens. I which all the best to Mr. Advani and Mr. Modi for their continuous faith in the people and their efforts to serve the people of Bharat.
Unfortunately we have people in leading India who choose to put themselves first, party second and country last, opposite of what this website states. Also unfortunate is that a majority of the pseudo secular media has chosen support these individuals for their privy purses.
May God be with you in this arduous task of saving this nation from these wolves in sheeps clothings.
March 28th, 2009 at 5:51 am
continued…..
I was positively appalled that they declared him the architect of the development in India when it was the private entrepreneurs that were doing it. Even the highest growth rate was logged during the BJP era, it just went downhill from there.
I believe he was chosen for this role for his spineless qualities as he is what the rest of the world see him as “a placeholder” for the next Gandhi.
BTW I have noticed that channels like “www.IBNLIVE.com” don’t want to post my comments, any ideas why??
March 28th, 2009 at 6:58 am
Congrats to the BJP and also Advaniji for projecting real achievements of regional leaders like Modi and Chavan. It is a sign of things to come when NDA comes back to power. When there is proven leadership and achievement on one hand why would anyone risk handing the country to a clueless prince from a dynasty?!
The BJP should implement creatives ideas as Chavan’s Ladli-Lakshmi and Jayalalitha’s cradle scheme at the national level. It is imperative that women especially from rural areas get equal opportunities. Hopefully the NDA gets good majority to pass the women’s bill. Women of our country don’t need crumbs thrown by the chauvinist neta like Laloo and Mulayam- they deserve their legitimate rights.
March 28th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Dear Advaniji,
Nice to know that you are to start ladli laxmi yogna which will definately boost up indian community and parents of female child will not feel girl child as a burden and will nurture her to the best possible way as they are secured about her future.
If you provide me code as it is seen in my blog I would like to promote your site in my blog
http://wish-happy-birthday.blogspot.com
Hope my suggesstions are helpful to you,
thanks,
anisha
March 28th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Dear Advaniji,
suggesstions for you
BJP needs to be united like congress by forgetting their internal conflicts and trying to resolve whatsoever grieviences members have in the easiest possible manner and do what so ever that can be done to make all the party members happy and keep them within the party so that This alliance of NDA can make a stable government.
We should learn a lesson from congress when there was a critical situation they had employed each and every mode which they could and won of the vote of confidence and made their alliance stable and run for complete 5yrs period.
Moreover now I have seen ad campaigns of congress on doordarshan where they are depicting congress as the sole ruling party of india since independence and it is depicted in such a manner that common man would surely tend towards it.
Would like to put your link here

The idea of making every child girl a Lakhpati when she attains a age of 18 is not going to be successful because it is our experience that whenever there is a scheme in which money is involved it will never reach to girl’s account but only will be shown on books. It is Govt. duty who will come on power to ensure that every child girl gets free nourishment, good health, education and protection so that she is self sufficient and will not fall prey to anti-society elements. She will become a respected part of the society and on her own affords will become Lakhpati in all respect

Today, you have raised issue of corruption in politics and cash stashed away in swiss banks. I am sure by the time you come to power, it will all fly away to other tax heaven leaving you high and dry with your plans to have it for use in India. Corruptioh has always remaijned a fact of Indian Polity and now the bigger worry is criminalisation. Best way is to have some amnesty scheme to get it back if you want to be practical, even though the biggest beneficiaries of such an amnesty scheme may be from your main rival party, otherwise all your ideas will remain on paper only and money will only change tax heavens.
Hope you agree.
March 29th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
I thnik BJP should talk more on BJP’s Good Governance, Develpoment & Security Plans(best example is Gujarat)in comming elections rather on Congress failures in the past years.
This will help BJP more in getting confidence of common people.
My Best wishesh to BJP & Advanaji.
March 30th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Dear Advaniji,
Hope u r doing fine. I hope this time gets a majority in parliament.
I want as an Indian an ID card or a Social Security number for all the Indians, to avoid terrorism, kidnapping, etc. Why all the political parties, doesnot wanted to give an ID card for each Indian. They need the bloodshed of innocent people, and after blasts they will come and say “its unfortunate”. We as Indians need to stop all these attacks and we need to elect strong people. I think this is the worst government we had ever seen in India’s History. As you said Dr. Manmohan Singh is the weakest Prime Minister of All time. Hope you please try to give ID cards to each and every Indian and Make India a Peaceful Country. We need to WIN this Elections. Hope as a Country we all will Vote to BJP, We will Win.
Thanks,

Dear Sir, its nice to hear about Ladli Laxmi Yojana. The idea is a real good one. It will eliminate school dropout among girls and it will aslo encourage them to study and complete degree. Every parents wants his child to be educated, but it may beause of the superstions and economic problems that some parents dont dare to educate their child. But with Ladli Laxmi Yojana all the girls get educated and we may see the quick rise in the literacy rate among girls.
The idea to start Ladli Laxmi Yojana is great, but plz make sure that it get implemented in the right way. In Andhra Pradesh, congress govt. plans many good ideas which can really help the people, but the thing which they lack is in implementing. The higher officials plan for it and when it comes to the implementation the lower officials eat the money so the plans go waste. So plz make sure that you pple implement it in the right way..
March 31st, 2009 at 4:18 pm
YOUR YOJANA IS GOOD SIRJI, BUT I HAVE ONE DOUBT.
I HAD PURCHASED A GOVT. FINANCIAL INSTITUTION-IFCI BOND IN 1996- IN WHICH THEY HAD COMMITED THAT ON INVESTMENT OF RS. 6100/- THEY’LL ETURN RS.17600/ IN 13TH, 14TH, 15TH, 16TH& 17 YEARS BUT AFTER 3.5 YEARS THEY HAD RETURNED 11500/- WITH REMARK THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO CONTINUE.

I wish you all the best for PM’s post
April 2nd, 2009 at 11:32 pm
I do not know where to put my concern, so even though this is not related to this topic, i want to let guys know about how biased media is.
Today at 8 PM on Vinod Dua’s show, found a news:
My inadequate Hindi is a hurdle in becoming PM: Pranab. (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/My_inadequate_Hindi_hurdle_in_becoming_PM_Pranab/articleshow/4346764.cms)
I had great honor for Vinod ji, but today theue way he taken this issue so lightly does not seems that he is not biased or may be i should say that my impression about him was wrong.
This type of statement should not be entertained or taken so lightly, this is a kind of statement which is take similar to what Raj thakrey made. This type of statement came from a senior person who is respectable member of minstry. This shows that how biased Mr. Pranab is with language or so called regional party.
This is true that person have some soft corner for the roots they belong. But imagine this is the thinking of a to leader, and the media is taking this very lightly.
This is really shameful and condemn at all the level by all the part of society.
Imagine what happen if from South some one will say there is no prime minister from Tamil speaking and so on.
I would say that even election commission should take a strong action against Pranab dada and even pranab da should maintain deignity of his ministry, he is not representative of only Bengal. He is minister of India where tons of languages are spoken.
April 3rd, 2009 at 3:34 am

Sir,
I wrote a POST on my blog http://www.hamarichaupal.blogspot.com titled : An open letter to the PM.
And I am please to say that it was one of the most read post. and there was not a single negative comment and most of the people agreed.
I support you as a PM candidate
April 3rd, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Respected Lalaji,
I liked this plan very much. I like to bring to your attention that some channels like star news making fishy comments on our gods like Rama Today morning they have banner on tv screen that “BJP me fir se laute ram” what disgasing statement these media is doing about hindu gods.
Shall they do it for allah and see what happens. Sure they are playing with sentiments of hindus. Great god Rama who respected and loved his wife Sita and believed in Ekapatnitwa so we respect him Either BJP or we are responsible that media is making Rama a joker. Please file a case against them. I found that they are working for Congress and making fun of many of our gods. Keep keen watch on them.
Thanks

Well I have no problem with these kind of yogna or whatever. But I just want to ask only one question why are you stress only on womens, I mean mens are also creature of God we are not hell maker why not these kind of yogna for mens. Look out only girls have so many facilities like this but no men have. Girls only getting these kind of chances because they are not so many as comapare to mens. Its just a excuse to tell we are less in number we dont get chance. Look around the world then ask why girls becasue they are girls thats why.
A man have same right if you want to make india grow.
April 3rd, 2009 at 3:54 pm
It seems that you like people calling you with butterly suffixes and titles like Sirji, Sir or ji even when writing in english (not to imagine the verbal scnario!)
So how about bring a change to stop this Yes-man-ship by writing a blog post on NOT using these titles when calling you. I hope you understand its importance as you are going to lead a modern nation. This will bring revolutions in other politician’s thought process too.

April 4th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Dear Mr. Advani,
at the outset i would like to wish you all the best in your bid to run for the office of the Prime Miister of India. I would also like to congratulate he BJP, for emerging as a credible alternative to the Congress Party and for ending the long drawn one party rule in India thereby sowing the seeds of a vibrant democracy.
I consider this blog as a remarkable initiative and i assume that the BJP aims not only to garner support through this forum but also get a hold of the nation’s perceptions and aspirations.
The BJP recently launched its election manifesto. It is quite comprehensive but it reminds one of a bygone era. Except for certain issues, which are ingrained in BJP policy such as the Ram Mandir, it reminds one of the Socialist era and of an approach adopted by early Congress Governments. It gives the impression that the Govt. would act as a caretaker for the people, an approach which Modern India is fast leaving behind.
April 4th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
The BJP is trying to repackage an old offering. I would like to draw your attention towards certain issues which i think are of more importance than what has been highlighted in the manifesto.
1. The Ram Mandir V. The Ganga: It is almost comical that the BJP considers Ram Mandir as something vital to the interests of Hindus in the country. Being the astute political leader that he is , i am surprised why Advaniji has not yet realized that Modern India has moved far beyond the Ram mandir. No Hindu considers the construction of Ram Mandir as essential to the survival of his faith. Lord Ram, for Hindus, does not exist in a temple. He is imbibed in the Faith of millions in this country.
April 4th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
However, something that does matter to us is the Ganga. I do not know whether Lord Ram sustains us but Ganga sure does. Our rivers are choked and dying. Ganga is prime example of this. It sustains almost 500 million people in one way or the other. It would be prudent for BJP to take up the cause of Ganga. If the BJP does not feel strongly about the Ganga then it has no right to talk about Ram.Ganga is the manifestation of our beliefs and every Indian (read hindu–for certain hardliner friends) would like to see the Ganga being restored to its previous glory rather than a Ram temple. Instead our political class is busy building dams on it to appease state vote banks. Progress does not lie in blindly aping what USA or China has done to its major rivers, destroying ecology for human needs.
It is strange that BJP has not made Ganga a poll plank. It is as revered in our country as lord Ram if not more.
April 4th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
2. the second thing which i would like the BJP to incorporate in its manifesto is our defence capabilities. It is only proper that the party which took upon itself the onus of taking India’s nuclear program to its logical conclusion adds the task of improving India’s defence preparedness in its portfolio. For instance what has taken us so long to develop an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile or why dont we have a naval carrier even after 60 years of Independence or why are our pilots stil flying outdated jets.
April 4th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
3. The BJP has included in its manifesto the promise of providing foodgrains and edibles at subsidized costs. It would have been proper if it had takled about food security. Providng better storage facilities to stock foodgrains, better irrigation options, improved markets and promise of fairer transactions woud have done more to instill confidence in the rural masses. Subsidy is not going to lead us anywhere but profitability will. It seems the emphasis is on keeping poor peeople poor and then providing leftovers to them.
April 4th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
4. Terrorism is another issue on which Mr. Advani has expressed strong views and rightly so. However what approach the BJP intends to take is not clear to anyone. Does it want to end terror by demonstrating in favour of Amarnath Land issue or by supporting Mr. Varun Gandhi said. I hope Mr. Advani ji realizes that what Mr. Gandhi said was extremely foolish. How can any particular community claim a piece of land as its own in the name of religion when we all have taken birth here and our ancestors have lived here. It is our common heritage. I sincerely hope that party does not field Mr. Gandhi unless it wants to match the congress in every way (refer to Mr. tytler being fielded—-lord save them !).
April 4th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
5. Urban development: Most of our cities are in shambles. They simply cannot support the huge Indian population which is fastly migrating to urban areas. All along we have harped upon the need to develop rural India. Consequently our cities have failed to update and modernize(not that our villages are any better). Most cities do not have waste disposal systems or sewerage treatment facilities. We litter and pollute our surroundings with great effectiveness. it is high time that a political party vehemently argued in favour of better urban facilities, city planning, cleaner energy and sustainable development
April 4th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
i have tried to highlight certain aspects which i think BJP would do well to incorporate. While you can woo the rural voter with atta and dal and a blanket, the needs of urban India have leap frogged the perceptions of political parties. As India modernizes a young and educated populace expects its leaders to bicker over religion or ideology but to provide better opportunities and improved standard of living. the only way to make any lasting
April 4th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
before i conclude i would like to share something which i, as a forward looking Indian, felt during the recently held G 20 summit. watching our prime minister there made me proud( a feeling which i think i share with most Indians). He portrayed an India that is well educated, confident of its position and aspiring to be better.
A new India wants its leaders to toe that line. I write this here because i think that only a political adversary can understand this. had i written it on a congress blog it would have been taken to be a feel good effect (like Jai Ho—which is being widely promoted) or dismissed as a satisfied party loyalist—–Which i am not.

I hope these are not merely words before the elections. India as a nation has seen this happening time and again when promises are made then post election are cited as non viable because of lack of funds or opposition from the non ruling party. I sincerely feel this is all hype which all the folks from all the parties are making to just get what is needed the most at this hour ‘VOTES’.
April 5th, 2009 at 11:58 pm
Greetings to Mr L.K Advani
I am strong supporter of BJP idealogy and have a strong belief in your work .But I feel frustated whenever I do not read any reply from BJP when Congress says about release of teriorist against the release of common man during Kandhar hijack.
You must ask from Congress Govt who was in power when Mufti Mohd Syed daughter so called kidnapped by teriorist in J &K and in lieu of her Congress Govt release militant and that was the starting point of terriorism in India.
Just ask from Congress Govt Do they have any value of common man or if Govt released some militant in lieu of Politician Daughter it is justifed but when a Govt release some terriorist in lieu of Common man it is not justified
Second question
Who in UN that we will resolve J &K issue in UN and from last 60 years our soldier are giving their life .
That is our so called Great First PM
April 6th, 2009 at 2:17 am
Dear sir,
It is a wonderful move on your part to start this blog.While politicians have rallies and speak what they have to,a portal to listen to what we have to say
was missing.I hope you read my comment and all that I have to say since it is extremely joyful to be able to talk to the upcoming prime-minister of India
like this.And I sincerely pray that you do ponder over what we as citizens write here(out of context as it may be,I had no other place to speak my heart
out).
April 6th, 2009 at 2:18 am
Before I begin let me tell how something about myself.I am a 25 year old female,a medical graduate from the general category.I am convent educated(which was
one of the best and cheapest schools in my city).I usually dress up in a jeans and T-shirt donning the traditional attire only during functions,formal
occasions and in college which has just ended for me after a stint of six long years as a medical student.My language of communication is mostly English(no I
am not a pseudo-western,it’s just that all my books are in English which I read atleast for 12 hours a day) while my mother tongue is Hindi and I am fluent
in both.My father studied in a village but provided the best for me.The reason for giving my background here is to break the general myth that only the
extreme communalists(read aware Hindus) support BJP and also to raise certain issues which I wish must be tackled when you come to power.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:19 am
I was once a great fan of the English media,the Barkha Dutt types,NO MORE.Sir,Varun Gandhi is my latest crush.He is a hero.I admire him for calling a spade a spade and I thank God that there is atleast someone who has the guts to protect the Hindus against all those who point a finger at them.Wouldn’t the secularists do the same if somebody was going to harm their family members.Varun Gandhi is genuine.Why NSA on a Varun and a lawyer to defend his case for a certain Kasab?Outright hypocrisy.We know he is a terrorist but just to show us as endearing,tolerant and a compassionate nation we resort to such digs at the cost of our own lives and security whilst someone who promises to protect us is immediately declared a threat.So much for secularism.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:20 am
Sir you know much better about the prevailing inequality among various religions metted out to us by the “secular governments”.I am not against any religion or people but I condemn inequality of any sort.Whether it’s about giving subsidy for the Haj and taxation on Amarnath yatra or the inequality based on caste creed or tribe.I am proud to be a Hindu.I know my religion well,take pride in the colourful and happy festivals(barring the loudspeaker which blares “bhajans” during the navratri and Ganesh festival for full 24 hours.While I have faith in both Gods I do not agree to the noise pollution,migraine and disruption of studies that takes place because of the “bhajans”.) and see nothing wrong to declare it.
I wish there could be strict rules against such noise pollution.Bhajans are supposed to give us peace not make us go mad at their “sing is king” tunes with some lyrics of God.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:21 am
Sir I am from MP where the scheme(Ladli Laxmi Yojna) has been implemented.Kudos to the BJP government.A great move to improve the declining sex ratio especially amongst the poor and illiterate classes who abhor a female child.
In my humble opinion there is a difference between emancipation of the down trodden and marring the right of someone who deserves something.I am talking
about reservation sir,a policy which has been hampering my growth and thousands of other capable and deserving students.I bore its brunt when I gave my PMT and had to settle for less than what my colleagues who were from the same coaching,same school with lesser marks and more educated parents solely because they had “quota”.Sir this system is diluting the merit and creating further discrimination on basis of caste.Till school I did not know that those people were SC/STs since there is no reservation in schools.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:23 am
Even in college they get free education,minimal fees for hostel,free books while we from the general category have to take loans to complete our education and they spend majorly and declare audaciously that they do not need to study that hard because they have reservation in higher institutes as well.Sir I am not against financial help.I strongly believe that a strong basic education coupled with scholarship can bring about a remarkable change in the society.The problem is they get seats and financial help too depriving a more deserving candidate of his bright future.Sir rarely do the really needy avail the benefit of quota.How many politicians would appoint doctors from quota as their personal surgeons or even physicians?
April 6th, 2009 at 2:24 am
My comment has become very long but I must get back to books sir,it’s very difficult for a general category student to survive the competition these days.In practise we are the actual backward class these days. Hope you will understand my point and will bring about the necessary changes once you are the prime minister of this country where everyone is equal and there is no bias on basis of any religion or caste or what we call a RAMA RAJYA.All the best sir.I am voting for you
April 6th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
I read about the idea and it felt nice that this idea was raised by a politician.
But I do feel that in India most of the money meant for such schemes gets lost in the official quagmire. And therefore these schemes don’t do any good for the society. An example is the mid day meal scheme which is in dire straits because of official mismanagement. Probably it would have been better had I given my tax money to some charity than to the government.
A better idea would have been to use the same money for development of infrastructure, for ensuring that business develops in different parts of the country by giving tax breaks to businessmen. Maybe we can make businesses tax exempt which are in the name of women. Also something along the lines of micro credit in Bangladesh would help. Needless to say any and all government initiatives fail to take off because of inherent corruption and therefore any idea which doles out money as a largesse is bound to fail.
April 7th, 2009 at 10:44 am
Dear Advani Sir,
I m very much pleased at the proposal of ladli lakshmi yojna. Being a ardent fan of u as aleader, a politician and as an intellect, sir I want to divert ur attention towards the negative propoganda being done by NDTV towarards u and BJP. They present the news/programs with only one objective of tarnishing the image of BJP and its idealogy. My personal opinion is that it b should be countered strongly otherwise it could fataal for BJP in coming ele
April 7th, 2009 at 11:45 am
good morning sir.
this is a very good scheme u are planning.all the chief ministers in bjp ruled states are becoming a greatest icons in respective states.example raman singh,modi .even opposition leader says raman sing is great person in chattisgargh. u r leading india in very good way
April 7th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Dear Sir,
While visiting Your blog I found and came to know that India needs a strong and determined leader like you for safety and prosperity. I also like the song “Bhay Ho”. I saw your Television Ad “Needar Neta Choonenge Hum Faislo Mein Ho Jiske Dum” and I’m very much impressed by it.
India needs a Leader who will fight against Terrorism and save people’s lives.
I wish you a best of luck for the forthcoming elections for the Prime Minister.
Compliments,
Sumit

Somewhere in 2000-2001 NDA Govt started the highly acclaimed “pradhan mantri gramin sadak yojana”, which was targeted to build roads in the rural areas across the country resulting in proving employment and better connectivity to the unconnected people.
And now the UPA govt has started the NREGA - which nothing just same scheme with a new name ….. which is creating a lot of attention from the general public.
this scheme aims to provides employment to the people of rural area which are in turn build the roads in their local neighborhood. but its actually spreading widespread corruption and the benefit is not reaching the real people.
Would like to see the BJP and the NDA highlighting the development policies and programs started during the Vajpayee regime.
its not about what UPA didnt achieve …. its about what NDA has done in the past and can do in the future and how it actually makes INDIA SHINNING ……
April 11th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Mr. Advaniji … best and heartfelt wishes to you to become the 15th, 16th … PM. while i pray to God to give you long life so that you can take INDIA to the highest ever position, but i am pained at the inaction of your esteemed party at the hooliganism meted out to our brethren in mangalore and bangalore. while you are talking narri shakti and what not.. but your government has been woefully unable to contain vandalism in the name of moral policing. i think elders like you say that charity begins at home however i dont know if the saying still holds true in your RAM RAJYA.
sir even after 60 odd years of independence you as a statesman not been able to realise that the basic necessity of my brethren is ROTI KAPDA AUR MAKAN. you give these and we will arrange for the rest. when people see free money they tend to become greedy.
please do not glib talk the poor people. heartiest wishes for your aspiration.
April 12th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Advani ji why don’t u come on a news channel most probably a hindi or a hindi and then english news channel. An unbaised newschanned with an unbaised anchor. ndtv is very biased i have followed their coverage . try CNN IBN or any other one, but definatly try a hindi one too. avoid some sensitive questions and focus more or your agenda on how you will make india a better place.right from security to economy ,education to ragging and women issue to environmental issues. Believe me the young voter of india wants to know if you think like a strong ,young man with ideas or in other words like a loh purush.
Advantage of this will be huge.

* you will send the message across and i know advaniji you are pretty good at it.
*you will win the hearts of middle class and lower middle class.
*you will be the agenda of the nation and the single strongest leader of the political class.
*Sri manmohan singh will not be able to follow your footsteps the way u will and its going to be a clear advantage.
*after all that pressure .This may bring the two main leaders of the national party for a debate
*if that happens i know you will do justice with your credentials.
*follow it up will a mass movement of campaigns in media ,internet and on print media.

I am very sure that may be the electronic media has not played a great role in democracy but its definately an advantage and will propel you to the cosmos of stars. i think we have to move ahead of the agenda that congress is trying avoid as they have had a lot of failures.we have to move ahead and right now the young people of india are confused, they are looking at two of you to answertheir quedtions.The young india wants to hear his leader.
hope u will consider it .Your fan

Advaniji, kudos on your yojana. If the opportunity comes and you actually implement it, it would be a great turning point.
Going a little out of way, we the youth of india in general & the urban middle-class in particular would seek your feedback on the following-
Every party promises that they would imply several plans largely for -
1. Women
2. Minorities
3. SC/ST/OBCs
4. Urban Poor
5. Rural People
6. Industries
7. Etc.
Implying programs for education/employment/concessions in all of the above and more is necessary.
But we would like to know what shall u, if you form the govt., will do for the “young urban entrepreneurs”. They are more than a graduate, they are in lack of capital, they dont want to do a job(market is bad anyway) & they have lots of ideas & enthusiasm.Also, they form the strongest part of all urban electoral lists.
We sincerely hope to listen something constructive on your side, soon!

I am supporter of BJP but I only see this as populus majors. One more thing in your manifesto i.e. giving Rice @Rs.2/- is very shocking. I think this should be scrapped. BJP should not go for all these nonsense as this is bad economics. Even NT Rama Rao was more practical when he announced Rice @Rs. 2/- in year 1984, at that time good quality rice must be costing around Rs. 8. Inflation has rised. and I think Rs. 10 per Kg. rice would be more practical and people will get what they deserves as Rs. 2 value is not their which existed during NTR era

I agree with anuj ji
the achievement of 24 hr’s electricity to villages in gujarat should be highlighted in a separate advertisement
so also the golden traingle and pradhan mantri gram sadak yojna the upa is palnning to take credit of these with the help from media
it seems that the debate topics at 8to 9 pm in times now,ndtv,cnn-ibn are instructed by congress.

If Ladli laxmi yojana is implemented nationwide it will be a gud step from the part of the government for reducing the school dropouts. Apart from this scheme different innovative schemes should bne implemented for the well being of the girl child

Sir, Cong and Comm are just misleading people. Godhra- why don’t they see the cause of that -the ghastly train carnage. This was the start of it. Khandamal- The trigger was the killing of the Hindu monk. Who were the killers? Why were they not identified. No wonder the Cong and Comm are hypocrites. 1984 anit-Sikh riots- some Cong people said it was the emotional reaction of prople. While reaction is pardonable (no wonder no one is convicted in the case) for Cong and Comm, the same does not apply to BJP. This is hypocrisy. Khanadahar- Sir, why don;t you say that Khandahar is not in India and that our forces were not like Israel’s to repeat what they did at Entebbe. We did not have the support of US that time as well. Even in Mumbai, we just happened to have one terrorist alive; rest were all killed!!! So what was the great effort made by us in Mumbai? It was in fact the failure of the Center to have permitted such an event to take place when prior intelligence existed.

Sir, I would like to draw attention to the fact while our country shows tolerance to diverse cultures, the same is not practised by our neighbours. An ironical thing is that when buddhists (tibetans) are being persecuted in China, a buddhist majority country sri lanka mistreats its Tamil minority. i wonder hoe the dalai lama - symbol of peace feels about this. national leaders like you must seek help from spiritual leaders like dalai lama to persuade sri lanka to stop its discrimination against Tamils.

Could you tell me Mr Advani, why the BJP has not mentioned following up on the river linking project? Surely this would be an effective issue to take up, considering that it would bring equity in water distribution, fertile land, booming agriculture for our exploding population, and a better life for all? The NDA had taken up this issue of river linking, but the UPA killed it. I remember the Supreme Court asked for a statement on river linking but unless I am mistaken, that too has been forgotten.
Instead of throwing away 70,000+ crore on waiving debt to farmers which has not reached them, but has gone into Congress pockets, that money could have gone into beginning the river linkage in certain drought-prone areas. Awaiting your reply.

First of all I must say that this forum & blog must be merged with main BJP website now that our polls are over!
Swadeshi & Hindutva can only revive BJP: We Hindus can’t leave our basic ideology of Hindutva & Swadeshi for secularism (literary meaning anti-religion) & globalization of Congress or socialism of Communists or there will be no difference. Indian nationalism has its base in Hinduism & wherever we are minority like Northeast or Kashmir there is unfortunate separatism. Non-Hindu Indians are part of same nation & must have equal rights as us but nothing more or less. This basis of equality will culturally unite us on ideological foundation of one country, one nation & one law which is Hindutva! Hindu nation is not a political but a religious concept encompassing global Hindus. So civil, political, family & Govt laws & facilities must be same for all & we must have uniform civil code & compulsory maximum 2 children policy for Indians of all faiths.
