Misinterpretation

Sir, — Describing the BJP's electoral victory in three States as a precursor to fascism (Dec. 11) is a misinterpretation. The BJP has emerged as a national party. It was poor governance of the Congress and not the Hindutva plank that led to the Congress Governments' fall. It is hilarious to note that a national party of the world's largest democracy is not being taken seriously because of a small temple in Ayodhya. It is time we focussed on the BJP's governance rather than its `loyalties' to a community.
