		<description>*** COMMENT EDITED *** 

[Reviving BJP] Part-1: Leadership

BJP: Rather than following the &#039;standards&#039; set by Congress after independence, we need to take an independent path that learns from systems across the globe during its entire history and seek (or aim for) a &#039;perfect path&#039;. Here is one way to do that (any comments and improvements are much appreciated) -
 
1) Get all the RSS branches, their affiliates and &#039;patriotic citizens&#039; to &#039;register&#039; with the party - in the lines of what is done in USA. This 
   a) adds a psychological element (for registered members) of &#039;owning&#039; and &#039;being part of&#039; the party
   b) helps in tracking, collecting and measuring the sentiments of the active participants
 
2) Have an internal elections (like primaries) for the &#039;chosen leader&#039; of the party. This
   a) ensures that the majority of the members would vote for the party as a result of having a leader of their choice and as a result of the leader representing the general sentiments of the majority members
   b) gives the needed respect and adherence from members for the leader - at par with their respect for democracy
   c) reduces (or better - eliminates) the infighting among the top leaders as the verdict has come from their supporters directly
   d) there by inherently brings in the stability for the party leadership at par with that brought by the sycophantic slavish Indians to the ruling &#039;foreign&#039; dynasty of India.
 
3) There should be an election (secret ballot) every 3 years for the president of BJP and once before general elections for the &#039;PM-in-waiting&#039;. This
   a) distinctly separates the roles played by the positions with
        (i) the president presiding over the activities of the party including growth, development and strategy
        (ii) while the &#039;PM-in-waiting&#039; would either become the PM or the &#039;leader of the opposition&#039; forming a &#039;shadow government&#039; with one-to-one ministries matching the running government
   b) gives an opportunity for people to get more involved in the party affairs - there by gaining their trust repeatedly over the years and thinking more about the development of the country in the lines of the development of the party.
   c) keeps the BJP on the news on a positive note for about 2-3 times between general elections
   d) helps in &#039;midterm&#039; assessment of the leadership atleast once between general elections
   e) keeps the leaders at work because now people are &#039;watching them&#039; every few years!

		<description>Fair point Vivekam. Very rough translation below:

1. Kind Request to BJP: Do not get disrobed (&quot;vastra haranam&quot;)on your own, in full public view 

2. BJP&#039;s new hobby: Cut the branch you are sitting on...The BJP &quot;High Command&quot; does not know how close the end is.

3. Request to Hon Sh Advani: Pl proceed to the forest (&quot;Vaana prastha ashram&quot;) - this would also be as per our scriptures.</description>

		<description>Stumbled on this:

# हर शाख पे उल्लू बैठा है, अंजाम - ए - गुलिस्ताँ क्या होगा. भाजपा से नम्र निवेदन है - अपना ही वस्त्र हरण भरी सभा में मत करो.about 21 hours ago from web
    
#
भाजपा का नया शौक - अपने पैर पर ही कुल्हाडी मारो, अंत कितना निकट है उसकी कल्पना का अनुमान पार्टी के हाई कमांड को नहीं है.about 21 hours ago from web
    
#
माननीय अडवाणी जी से निवेदन है की वोह अब वानप्रस्थ आश्रम की और प्रस्थान करें. शास्त्रों में भी यह ही लिखा है.
