is BJP like rajeev2004 blog?

At a wider philosophical level, people should have freedom to say whatever they wish to say. At operational level, every organisation, country, society has to balance this with the need for a smooth function of the organisation. The way to do that is to have a well clear policy framework. With such a policy, as long as a member sticks to the rules, he is free to say whatever he wishes to say.

BJP seems to have inverted this practice on its head. There does not seem to be a policy about what people can say and cannot say. Neither Advani nor Jaswant singh seemed to worry about any party rule while saying whatever they said about Jinnah. Advani got away lightly, Jaswant Singh has been insulted and punished to the hilt. That is the shocking outcome of the practice "Restrictions based on Personalities, full freedom to some, none to others." No wonder most lower rank BJP leaders seem to talk like parrots and the top ones sound erudite and thoughtful.

Come to think of it, doesn't the rajeev2004 blog mirror this inversion? The owner deletes comments by certain user ids, but seems to allow almost anything by anyone else!

OMG OMG ROTFL ROTFL: China plotting against a Hindu Nationalist

In dailypioneer Swapan Dasgupta writes "What began as an e-mail campaign involving some isolated pensioners located in southern India has suddenly gathered momentum among politicians".

Is he pointing towards the one and only Hindu Nationalist? The Jawaharlal Nehru of the blogworld? TOOTBWAHNP? The owner of the blog with a Hindu nationalist perspective?

In response, TOOTBWAHNP writes "several people have written thoughtful essays about this topic. here is a link to what i wrote". Guys, take it from the god. What he writes is thoughtful. He knows about software. He knows enough about Cricket to criticize Sachin Tendulkar . He knows enough about Game Theory to exactly know how India should handle its relations with US. He knows about everything. He knows about EVMs and he knows they were tampered.

No wonder Swapan used the term 'pensioners located in southern India'. Wonder of wonders, the article appears in the daily pioneer. Now, that will test one pseudo-nationalist's nationalism. Has China begun its work on dividing India? I guess TOOTBWAHNP would know. He knows everything.
