BJP’S WRONG PRIORITIES

The assertion of Sushma Swaraj, senior BJP leader in the LS that if their party forms a government at the Center next time, Ram temple will be on top of the priority list, indicates that the BJP has not learnt any lessons from its past mistake. It is again trying to play the religion ‘card’ to come to power at the Center. It has no other issues to fight. BJP has no programme and policies for the country’s burning problems. There is poverty, hunger, unemployment, power shortage and lack of infrastructure both in urban and rural region. The country needs major reforms in education, health and housing sectors to enable the poorest of the poor, the underprivileged and the deprived sections of the society to avail the benefits from such reforms and improve their standard of livings. Instead of debating on such issues, the party is trying to disturb the secular fabric of the country again. If building temple is going to be the main poll agenda of the BJP, the chances of BJP forming government at the Center are very very bleak.
