Rajesh Jain declares his support for the BJP, and the reasons why:
We are India’s educated civil society. If we cannot act individually and as a team, then we forfeit the right to complain. Democracy comes with responsibilities and duties. It also comes with a generation having to make some sacrifices so the Tomorrow for our children can be better than our Today.
We have 100 days only to the elections. India has 2 national parties and a multitude of regional parties. We have to make a choice about the party at the Centre. We can wait for a utopian world and the creation of the Perfect Political Party. Or, we can pick the party with the lighter shades of grey.
Atanu Dey also declares his support, and voices his reasons:
In my considered opinion, supporting the Congress party in any of its incarnation is an act of treason, if not an act of senseless ignorance. Those who vote for the Congress after what the party has done to them are either ignorant (like the masses who only need the “Gandhi” name to vote for the party) or are pathologically self-serving who would ride any train that would get them to power, never mind that it is anti-national, anti-development, anti-growth, anti-anything good and reasonable.
The second reason I support the BJP is because it is not wedded to a dynasty. Dynastic rule is worse than democracy because it does not allow competent leaders to emerge. I feel that the Congress party would like nothing better than to have the system that North Korea has. North Korea, as Christopher Hitchens puts it, is a necrocracy (government by the dead). There they have as the titular head of the state Kim Il-sung who died in 1994 but still rules. He rules though his son, Kim Jong Il.
Interesting arguments, and equally interesting discussions in the comments space.

My only problem with both those posts is that, well, they have nothing in them about the issues.
Atanu Dey gives one good reason to vote for the BJP (not voting for dynastic rule), and another inane one, (because it’s not the Congress.)
But neither discusses what it is that either side has done or plans to do, once in governance. We need debate over issues, not over identity. Dynastic rule might be a bad thing, but if you fall on that party’s side of the issues, then should you just vote against them because of the dynastic point?
Dear guys, ( I SUPPORT THE BJP)
We are all Indians. There should be no Hindu or Muslim terror kind of a thing. In the past till date no party has charged any religion of terror but the Congress which I beleive is the worst party in Indian politics has degraded the nation and has started the term “HINDU TERROR” or ” HINDU TALIBANISATION” which has targeted the entire Hindu relgion. People criticise Narendra Modi for 2002 but what about his devlopment programmes and his completely non corrupt performance. On the contrary some of the UPA LEADERS like Sharad Pawar and RAM VILAS PASWAN are totally corrupt and they are the richest politicians in India. Sharad Pawar was CM of Maharashtra and is now the agriculture minster, has misused massive public money. Ram Vilas Paswan is doing the same with the Steel and the Fertiliser Ministry. These are the UPA leaders. EAT PUBLIC MONEY AND HELP TERRORISTS IS THEIR MOTTO.
FRIENDS INDIA IS OUR COUNTRY. We Alone can make it the country of our dreams. Decide what is right and what is wrong. We definitely made a mistake in 2004 do we want to make it again?????
THE CONGRESS IS RUINING OUR LIVES, ACT NOW. BRING THE BJP TO POWER. HELP OUR COUNTRY.
VOTE FOR BJP in 2009.
