Dear BJP, Thanks for calling a Bharat Bandh today on the most pressing and vital issue the country faces - petrol prices.
Lesser parties might have succumbed to the temptation of protesting against out-of-control food prices for the last year or so, but you chose to wait. Patiently.
When police and paramilitary forces regularly botch up anti-Maoist operations, and the Home Minister seems to be either out-of-control or dis-empowered, you resisted the temptation to protest.
When Manmohan Singh violated his pledge not to talk to our crypto-Jihadi neighbours until they'd punished the perpetrators of 26/11, it took all the strength at your disposal to do what you did. Nothing.
Finally, you had an issue worth your trouble. Petrol prices went up. You were moved to action. Lesser mortals may object that if you really cared about petrol prices, your government in Karnataka could reduce state taxes on petrol, which incidentally are among the highest in India.
You are made of sterner stuff than those who would listen to such trivialities. We are truly blessed to have a party like you be the primary opposition.
A tip o' the mad hat to you sirs.

Heh, so so true. Nice!
Or the BJP could protest when Stone throwers and bus burners in 27 states are treated with a holiday, whereas in J & K, they are shot.
Oh Dear, not possible... the BJP is tough on terror.
Nice to know you too have dumb politicians.
Dumb politicians? Oh, we have them in Spades.
