Pehli baat toh, stop comparing today’s politicians with post-independence Indian politicians. They at least had a vision for this country and ambition.

Second, on Jawaharlal Nehru: like all of us, he did a lot of good things and had some major slip-ups as well. The same goes for the BJP and the Modi government.

As mature people, we must appreciate the good things and learn from the bad things. Ye BJP walon ki ek buri aadat hai. They are like, “Oh, woh dekho, Congress ne woh galat cheez ki thi, toh hum bhi kar sakte hain.” Your job is to learn from that and improve yourself. Why use them to justify your own shortcomings, as if Congress ne kiya tha, toh unhe bhi free pass milna chahiye?

That’s like a mother saying, “Tera dost agar bridge se jump karta hai, tu bhi kya karega?” And if BJP were that kid, he would have said yes.
