In this one, which looks like the fourth of the &#8216;Hindu Divided Family&#8217; series, NDA Convenor Sharad Yadav tells Neha Dixit that the BJP must resolve the lack of clarity on its agenda. There were many reasons for the defeat.

		<description><![CDATA[In Tehelka, Ashis Nandy argues that the BJP&#8217;s dependence on Hindutva was bound to be problematic. Instead of allowing their fundamentalist elements and loony right-wing aligned groups some minor acknowledgement, the BJP instead allowed the fringes to antagonise the party&#8217;s larger support base. The &#8220;Indian genius&#8221; was to allow contradictions, he says, citing the early [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hamaracongress.com&amp;blog=7341776&amp;post=466&amp;subd=votecongress&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
