Friends, .
Marx's analysis of contemporary events often transcends the immediate to convey a more universal message. The above mentioned one also has a chilling contemporary relevance: the first thirteen days BJP govt. was a tragedy, more of course, to the BJP than to the country. This second round, however, has turned out to be a complete farce of governance that is imposing unprecedented tragedies on the people and the country. .
There has not been a single area where the BJP's governance has not been a unmitigated disaster. From the handling of India's foreign policy to the management of the economy, the BJP has displayed a total lack of competence in running a state of India's size and complexity. Its preoccupation has been only to further its communal agenda at the expense of the country and the people. The only area where it shows a determination of purpose is in infiltrating the administrative apparatus and the organs of State Power to advance the RSS agenda of rabidly intolerant 'Hindu Rashtra'. The manner in which it seeks to rewrite and distort history, the revamping .
of premier research bodies by placing people with dubious academic qualifications, the attempts to change the syllabi and curricula and the latest attempts to saffi·onise the education system--all clearly expose the BJP as an enemy of the secular democratic foundations of independent India. . ln addition to all this disservice that the BJP led govt. is doing to the country, is the economic hardships that it is imposing on the people.
