Do religious parties have any credibility in age of data?
Imagine the Taliban talking about good governance. Sounds funny right? A group of people who are Koran hugging and believe that’s the absolute truth telling their people that their nation will become great just by chanting some Arabic text, that looks stupid.
Now take a look at this video:
That’s Tamilnadu’s finance minister P.T.R.Palanivel Thiyagarajan demolishing the BJP and Modi’s economics. The BJP has no response to it other than mud slinging or diversionary talk, hiring people to throw slippers at P.T.R as protest.
The BJP is old school, telling people to read Sanksrit, and old Hindu text and promising a miracle will come out of it. P.T.R is a man of data, he uses statistics to justify himself. Rather than we Indians seeing this as a war between P.T.R and BJP, we must see it as a war between statistician / economist with data and people of blind faith.
The only way the BJP to come out of this mess is to drop this individual Modi worship stuff, they must drop this Hindutva stuff, and truly become Bharitya Janatha Party, a party that really strives in a scientific way, backed by data and experiments to improve the life of people. Right now they are too stupid to reform. It’s we people who must vote out Modi and bring in intelligent people to power for our nation to prosper.
