To me it appears to be the case of: " Padte phal ki Aagnya(aagya)" However, he has very conveniently passed the blame on others earning martyrdom for himself. The problems cited by him could (would) very well recur after 2 years (2009) when he plans to start a new party. Does he mean to say by then he will have enough maturity to handle all the psedos? Or he is sure that he'll get all great people to work with? Shantanu,

No need to feel sorry about Gopal Krishna. To me it appears to be the case of:

” Padte phal ki Aagnya(aagya)”

However, he has very conveniently passed the blame on others earning martyrdom for himself.

The problems cited by him could (would) very well recur after 2 years (2009) when he plans to start a new party.

Does he mean to say by then he will have enough maturity to handle all the psedos? Or he is sure that he’ll get all great people to work with?

Initially, on hearing about them and reading the news stories on LP, I was quite enthusiastic at the thought of these youngsters coming into politics. Although I do have a grouse against career politicians, it seemed like a good idea that educated youth are entering the fray. I am truly sorry to say that on reading about them, I was quite disappointed. While LP's site consisted of excess verbiage which actually didn't translate to any concrete steps, the BM website didn't even attempt to have any kind of policy or ideology description. Removing the caste system and spreading the teaching of yoga don't actually translate into a coherent economic or education policy. I revisited BJP's webpage and I have to say that while the party might currently be in a morass of inactivity, its ideology seems fairly stable. Paraphrasing Dina Nath Mishra (the journalist), maybe we can still infuse a brain into this dinosaur. It might be easier to do that than evolve a dinosaur from a single cell organism.
