Advani insults the voters

The letter sent to The Hindu on 3.3.2009
Mr.L.K.Advani’s opinion that the NDA lost the 2004 elections because of overconfidence and wrong slogans is an acute oversimplification, like saying a battle was lost for want of a horseshoe nail. That the NDA deserved to win and would have won except for the two minor indiscretions verges on the delusional. Election results are too complex to be explained away with simple causes. Blaming a slogan for losing an election is an insult to the electorate.

I am sure it won't be published

4.3.2009
As expected, The Hindu did not publish. Amen!
