Questions L K Advani did not answer
deb (Fri Aug 15 1997 5:58 IST)
hello sir, what do you think about the future of india, given the violence in almost the whole of the country and the fact that the economy is not up to the mark?
Vikas Singh (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:7 IST)
Respected Advani Jee, Could you please tell us your opinion about Mrs. rabri Devi w/o Laloo Prasad Yadav being made the CM of Bihar?
venky (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:11 IST)
Mr. Advani. What is the fate of India?
Ramana Murthy (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:21 IST)
Namaskar Advaniji. Congratulations on the successful completion of the "Swarna Jayanti Yatra". What do you see in India's future -- Politically, economically, socially and culturally? Thank you, sir.
Shakir Ali (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:24 IST)
Advaniji, what is the BJP's perception of 50 years of freedom? Where do you think we frittered away the opportunities?
ptewani (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:26 IST)
Advaniji, what you wish to say about six months of Kanshi party and six months of Advani party rule. Earlier days BJP would just give support from outside, rather than being part of these games.
vivek (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:27 IST)
namaste advani ji. After 50 years of independence, do you think India has achieved what it is predicted to have achieved ??
VARUN (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:27 IST)
As corruption is the main agenda for all political parties, how will the BJP fight it when it comes to power at the centre and in the states where it is already in power.
S V Mukherjee (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:27 IST)
Mr Advani, why is that no Indian politician has a definite agenda for the future, something like Malaysia's Dr Mahatir Mohammed has. Why are Indian politicians so clueless about the future?
vivek (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:29 IST)
communal violence and disharmony have reached a higher ebb in our country, what are the steps that are to be taken to curb this violence ??

Advani ji ,How long do u think it will be before elections are held ?

rashid khan (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:31 IST)
Advaniji: Madan Lal Khurana has alleged that you have backtracked on the promise given to him that a third person would become Delhi's chief minister. Please comment.
Rathika (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:31 IST)
Happy ID-50 Advaniji
ptewani (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:32 IST)
Welcome. Advaniji, what you wish to say on the status of corruption in the country, specially in higher levels of politicians
Nivedita Dwivedi (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:32 IST)
Mr Advani, where has this nation failed you most drastically?
madan (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:33 IST)
Advani Sahab, you are right that there is no jubilation except for Mr Gujral today who had the opportunity to unfurl the tricolor on the Red Fort. But this is not a very good note to start our chat with. We look upon leaders like you to provide us courage and enthusiasm to go forwards.
Shakir Ali (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:33 IST)
If the future of India is to be conserved and enhanced, all Indians must be involved in the process of nation building. You cannot segregate Muslims from this process. Why is the BJP and its supporters like Ramanna Murthy are still so suspicious of Muslims?
bhup (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:34 IST)
Mr. Advani this Bhupendra from USA I have just one question how do you feel to be in politics which is full with corrupt people like Laloo who put their wife in power after he has been charged of corruption
deshbhakt (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:34 IST)
Sir, When will the BJP quit resorting to publicity gimmicks like yatras ..(which are ridiculous, even to look at, leave alone the actual yatra). When will you stop making our political scene a comic target for the rest of the world... At one time we did think of your party as the alternative, we were looking for... but you have only succeeded to remind us how low you can stoop! Go join the tamashawallas... at least they don't run around pretending they are someone else!
VARUN (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:34 IST)
Is India heading for a two party system or do you think that regional parties will continue to play a major role.
Tahseen Khateeb USA (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:34 IST)
Mr. Advani: Why there is no jubilation on this occasion?
ptewani (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:35 IST)
I understand the state of UP. But What my worry is the way BJP is changing are we seeing Congress in saffron color, because these kind of political power games are more of Congress stamped
Nivedita Dwivedi (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:35 IST)
Mr Advani, why do you say that there is not much cause for jubilation. Where has this nation failed you most drastically?
Javed (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:35 IST)
Advaniji: Since you have been talking lot about culture. Now can you tell me how Muslim culture in India differs from Hindu culture?
Venkat (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:36 IST)
Advaniji, Your party is considered a party of the brahmins and banias, and that is one of the reasons your vote bank has not gone beyond the 21%. That was also proved by your govt. in MP which was very anti-tribal.
Tahseen Khateeb USA (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:37 IST)
Mr. Advani: Has BJP hoisted a national flag on its offices throughout India or do you folks follow the RSS, which never hoists national flag on its premises?
Madhu (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:37 IST)
Namaste, Happy Independence Day
BlastedSecularist (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:37 IST)
Mr. Advani: 1947 vs 1997 - Promises vs achievements of the Nation in general. Your honest, unpolitical assessment, never mind who is to blame or who should get the credit.
M (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:38 IST)
Mr. Advani, in their constituencies, what has the representatives from BJP done differently than others with respect to primary education?
Havalascam (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:38 IST)
Your recent rath yatra seems to have elicited a lukewarm response, especially in UP, where you had once whipped a frenzy during your 1989 yatra. What's wrong? Are people disillusioned by your party's poor showing or is it that you have lost your charisma after the hawala scam???
Shree (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:39 IST)
Advaniji, recent rebellions from purohitji and khuranaji shows that BJP is also going the Congress way. What are your comments, sir.
vivek (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:39 IST)
COMMUNAL VIOLENCE AND DISHARMONY HAVE REACHED A HIGHER EBB IN OUR COUNTRY, WHAT IN YOUR OPINION ARE THE STEPS TO BE TAKEN TO CURB THEM ??
Hindustani (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:40 IST)
AdvaniSahab, Do you feel that NRI should be helped to vote like the Americans staying abroad can. Can we make a difference
BABRImasjid (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:40 IST)
Sir, your party is today aligned with the BSP and Akalis. If tomorrow you form the central govt, what will be your policy on the Babri Masjid land? And on Mathura and Kashi?
S V Mukherjee (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:40 IST)
I was intrigued by last night and this morning's events where Netaji took his place alongside Gandhi and Nehru in the pantheon of national heroes. Has the Indian political mainstream made its peace with Bose? I know the BJP has always admired Bose, but the fact is that Bose's acolytes -- like Colonel Lakhsmi -- despise the BJP.
Rajeev Kumar Saxena (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:40 IST)
Mr. Advani: Why is your party not taking initiative to do something about the Scheduled Caste Actm which is highly misused in UP. You are the largest party at national level as well as ruling in UP. What should we expect from you?
Tahseen Khateeb USA (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:41 IST)
Mr. Advani: Has not Bihar High Court stepped out of its limits by recommending President's rule in Bihar? The issue is not merely removal of a remote controlled govt. but whether law courts have authority to impose president's rule. Is not high court trying to usurp the power of the president and legislature?
madan (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:41 IST)
Advaniji, you are right, Congress is trying to take advantage of the Sonia card. It is up to people like us to figure out that should we allow a foreigner who does not know even ABC of politics who has taken over the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation (with billions of rupees of land as bonus) can provide us with a leadership instead of pasta and spaghetti fast food restaurants.
Hindustani (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:43 IST)
Advaniji, Swatantrata ke maiyane kya hai. Kya har aadmi BharatVarsh mein azaad hai.
Lionel (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:43 IST)
Mr LKA-greetings on our 50th Independence Day. U are one of the few principled politicians(remember U resigned when your initials were found in Jain Diary) in India today. What is it that does not give your party the chance to rule us & what are U doing about it?
ravikc (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:44 IST)
Advaniji, from your yatra, do you see the nation divided in any sense?
Venkat (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:44 IST)
What is your comment about the forced conversions to Hinduism from Christianity of the tribals by Dilip Singh Judeo. If you are so concerned about the tribals, why don't you
also try to set up schools and education instead of politicking with Mayawati & Co?
ptewani (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:45 IST)
SO, Mr. Advani, whom to blame for this condition. We have become a country of poor people and rich politicians. Even in Bihar which is most poor state of India, a scam of 950 crore of rupees tells what? Unless the political arena is cleaned we can't think of better conditions for people.
jain (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:45 IST)
Why are there so many problems now in a party that promised so much? It was said to hear about the problems in Gujarat, Maharshtra, even with a veteran like Khurana. Frankly, me and my family back home are disappointed, even though u were cleared in the hawala thing.
BABRImasjid (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:45 IST)
With the UF splintering, will the next polls be a two-party contest between BJP & allies v/s Cong-JD & allies?
Hindustani (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:45 IST)
Advaniji, if in the next election nobody (assumption) gets a complete majority then shouldn't we go for a NATIONAL Govt. and perhaps change our system of administration
swapna (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:45 IST)
Advaniji, Arun Shourie said in one of his articles that it was some divine hand which saved India when I.K Gujral became Prime Minister. What do u think ?
deshbhakt (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:46 IST)
mr Saxena: How can you expect a bigoted party of so-called 'higher-caste' Hindus, to take up the cause of the Scheduled Caste? The schedule caste is only worth talking about when thier God "VOTE" comes out for His yatra!
Lionel (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:46 IST)
Mr LKA-It is very likely & I hope your party come to power SOON. Will U continue with this brand of indisciplined democracy that we are employing today or will it be Democracy with a dhanda, which I think India needs very badly.
CRK (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:46 IST)
Advaniji, On Aug 15 2047, will all Indians have reached the promised land which rules by the maxim, Opportunity to all, Responsibility from all, and Co-operation from all. Will we be at least on the right path by then?
Raminder (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:46 IST)
Adwaniji, Mera sochna ye hai ki hamen poori swatantrata tab milti jab BJP poori tarhan se power mein aa jaati , App ye nahi sochte ki avishvass prastav ke response mein Bajpai ji ka bina voting ghutne tek dena ek sahi decision tha ?
Venkat (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:47 IST)
How are you going to make your party more acceptable to the Muslims and more secular population, which you cannot do without keeping a safe distance from the VHP.
Badrinath (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:48 IST)
Mr Advani: Does the BJP have an agenda apart from destroying mosques and trying to co-opt an unwilling minority in the Hindu mainstream? I have not seen a single paper from you telling me how you plan to make India into a major power? Do you also suffer from the vision defect?
Nivedita Dwivedi (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:48 IST)
Mr Advani, what do you think is the reason that successive governments (mostly the Congress at the helm) have failed consistently in tackling problems like poverty and illiteracy? Why does the govt lack such initiative in dealing with this problem?
Hindustani (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:48 IST)
Advaniji, i hope to get a reply. Perhaps you would care to give us an email address. Perhaps we can air some views which may make a difference.
BABRImasjid (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:48 IST)
Mr Advani: If you chaps had broken the Babri before the elections, you may have won the polls. Will you chaps now try to whip up hysteria to destroy Mathura and Kashi mosques just to win the coming elections? Will greed for power win over secular pretensions?
jain (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:48 IST)
Why had the BJP not worked to bring water to these villages, organised welfare programmes without religious overtones, like the church does?
Venkat (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:48 IST)
What is your opinion on the recent blatant killing of 13 scheduled caste people by the police in your govt. in Bombay ?
M (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:49 IST)
In your answer to Nivedita you said that 50% of people in India are still under the poverty line. So I repeat my earlier question, what steps have BJP representatives taken in their constituencies towards poverty alleviation/eradication?
ravikc (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:50 IST)
Advaniji, during the Rajiv Gandhi era, the BJP was a major proponent of civil liberties. Now it is seen more as the oppressor rather than the victim. Any comments?
Havalascam (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:50 IST)
Mr Advani: I'd listened to your rath yatra speech in 1990 in Andheri, in Bombay. You were at your pedagogic best, hardselling the mandir thing. Now that the masjid was demolished five years ago, the mandir idea also seems to have been forgotten. Even the hardcore fanatics from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal are not interested in constructing a mandir at the disputed site.
Rajeev Kumar Saxena (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:50 IST)
Mr Advani, I have one more question . Yesterday I was reading in one of the newspapers that Mr. Pramod Mahajan said in the house that he has full sympathy with Phoolan Devi but can't help it because everything has to be decided by judiciary. I ask why your responsible partymen also are not accepting the truth about the Phoolan and afraid of saying anything against her just for the vote bank. Should I assume that your party is also proceeding towards using hook and crook to come into power?
vivek (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:51 IST)
The only way India can curb corruption problems would be to give full autonomy to the media, just like in the US, wouldn't it ??
Tahseen Khateeb USA (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:51 IST)
Mr. Advani: Your party has been in coalition with some other parties in various states. You also hoped, against hope, that someone would join you when Vajpayee assumed office. Do you think there is no way your party will assume power on its own? Is this an era of coalitions?
BABRImasjid (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:51 IST)
Advaniji, jara uttar to dijiye?
Aditya (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:52 IST)
Advaniji, what do you think about Sonia Gandhi taking an active role in Congress politics?
jain (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:52 IST)
Your yatras seem to be losing sheen over the years. Are you getting tired, or is that right-wing fundamentalist RSS getting to you?
Lionel (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:52 IST)
In the 13 days that U & your party were in power, U must have known the truth of come of the corruption that is on till now.Why did U not expose them, if U know something is wrong?
Hindustani (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:53 IST)
Advaniji, don't you think it is time we removed reservation on caste grounds. I mean these people are taking things for granted. And by allowing them with so many facilities aren't we spoiling them. Even after 50 yrs they have not been able to come up. But in 50 yrs we have been able the divide the "backward" classes and the non-"backward" classes. I we continue with this all of us will one day end up as a "Backward" class and India a "Backward" country with each Indian ready to be SPOON-FED. I hope you reply to at least one of my queries :-)
BABRImasjid (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:54 IST)
Mera Kya Hoga, Advani?
Gautam (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:54 IST)
Hey guys, we are not achieving the purpose here. Where is Mr. Advani to field all the Q's ?? ANY CLUES...ANYONE
Moin (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:55 IST)
BabriMasjid: TERA WAHIN HOGA, JO MANZOORE KHUDA HOGA!!!!
M (Fri Aug 15 1997 6:56 IST)
Mr. Advani what kind of a response did you get from West Bengal and Kerala on your yatra? Was it positive? Did people seem to awaken to the Hindu ideals?
