Get ready to be greeted by Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh every 25 kms when you travel on national highways.
1500 billboards are being put up with photos of the duo in UP, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Goa, Delhi, MP, Chhatisgarh, West Bengal, Orissa, Karnataka, Kerala, Punjab, J&K, Himachal, Assam and other NE states.
As per the Times of India, each billboard will cost Rs 10 lakhs while the Economic Times puts the figure at Rs 4 lakhs. That means anything between Rs 60 crores to Rs 150 crores is going to spent on them.
When the BJP was in power, the Congress had criticised it for putting up similar billboards with photos of Vajpayee and Khanduri. Now the BJP is returning the favour.
As always, the tax payer has no say.

Soren is Sure-in. Again. But this time not in Tihar jail as a murderer. This time he is in Jharkhand Chief Minister's chair. Yes the same one that was not so long ago occupied by another distinguished Indian politician. That gentleman, rumour has it, is called Koda not because he played with a few 'kodis' (cheap sea shells, money once) but because he plundered billions of them.
If Koda was put into that chair by the Congress, Sure-in has been pushed in by the BJP, yes that party which used to claim with some pride once that it was different from the Congress. Now, it is hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.
We elect them to govern;
They select among themselves to loot-n-run.
We believe it is democracy;
They laugh coz they know it's plunder-ocracy.

The BJP has put in an unexpectedly good performance in the Assembly by-polls, results for which were declared today.
Its best showing was in Gujarat where seven seats were at stake, six held by the Congress. The BJP won five this time, Congress two. And, this despite Modi not campaigning in any constituency personally. In Uttarakhand, the BJP won the lone seat, while in MP it wrested one and the Congress retained one.
Considering that this has happened in the backdrop of serious infighting at the national level, does it show the irrelevance of the Delhi coterie and the party's strategists? Did they adversely affect the party's performance in the Lok Sabha elections?
Meanwhile Modi Magic continues. Couldn't be due to the 2002 riots, as the media would like India to believe. Surely he must be doing something good.

It looks like Mohan Bhagwat has broken the free fall of the BJP. The RSS parachute has opened just in time. Advani, who met Bhagwat today, is likely to step down. Rajnath Singh will also go.
There is speculation that the third man in the centre of the storm, Arun Jaitley, will take over as party President. If that happens, nothing will have changed. Remember the way he publicly sulked during the election campaign and went missing for about 10 days? Not only did that hurt the BJP but also showed him, its master strategist, in very poor light.
For the BJP to get out of this vortex of groupism and selfishness, it is vital that a visibly honest leader, not tainted by it in any manner, takes over the reigns of the party, to purge and rebuild it.
First it was George Fernandes who said it. Then, Yashwant Sinha and Jaswant Singh, who were also present in the CCS meeting along with LK Advani in which it was decided that Jaswant Singh would go to Kandahar, also said Advani knew. Now the then NSA Brijesh Mishra has also said it.
The Congress says Advani conned the country. Really, can anyone forget such an important decision made under such trying circumstances?
This is not all. Karan Thapar says that Advani had given his OK for the Nuclear Deal to the PM in person, but later backed out, manifestly to bring the government down and become PM in 2008. Remember those wads of notes in Parliament?
It is too late to quit with grace, but quit Advani must. For the sake of not just the BJP but the whole country.

Jinnah worshipper Jaswant has gone ballistic and the Congress quiet, the former in anger, the latter in 'gratitude'. Everyone has forgotten that Jaswant whipped Nehru; without that Jinnah couldn't have come out trumps. But, instead of the Congress criticising "Jassa" for criticising Nehru, the BJP is criticising him for criticising Patel.
Since the party has expelled him and Modi has banned his book, family war has broken out, Congress watching in glee, Nehru out of picture, book forgotten – higher sales than gas masks notwithstanding!
Advani's Kandahar lie has been exposed, his association with the cash-for-vote drama in Parliament highlighted, Vajpayee's anguish over Gujarat 2002 revealed, and the BJP called narrow minded, limited and nervous. And Jaswant is not done yet.
The Congress doesn't need to do anything to win an election; the BJP will do enough to lose it!
