How we are going to be different from the Congress and the UPA ?

The best way of creating a nationwide urge for a BJP led NDA Government at the Centre is to effectively communicate to the people how we are going to be different from the Congress and the UPA. We must - and we shall - be different from them on every count on which we have been criticising them on.
• The days of weak leadership at the top will be over.
• There shall be no compromise in the fight against terrorism and Maoism. We shall deal with this twin menace with a heavy hand.
• Corruption at the top will not be tolerated.
• We shall make a sincere and determined effort to ensure that more and more common people, in villages as well as in towns and cities, are able to live better lives. For this, India's economic growth will have to be further speeded up, made more broad-based geographically and socially and most importantly re-oriented for greater employment generation.
• What we stand for has been captured in the three commitments that have begun to gain currency especially after BJP's victory in Gujarat. These are Good Governance, Development and Security.
• If some parties in India wish to be guided by foreign-born ideologies and foreign-born leadership they will certainly realise the limitations of doing so. As shocking indication of how little respect these parties have for India's cultural-civilisation heritage is the stand they have taken on the Ram Setu issue. The UPA Government went to the extent of filing an affidavit in the Supreme Court denying the very existence of Lord Ram and the historicity of the Ramayana.
