What I ended up reading was utter shit, and rather it only tickled my funny bone. I am surprised "The Times of India" actually made up a main newstory out of this.
To put things in perspective,
"After the Lok Sabha elections, some leaders in the party have been giving random statements to the media. This portrays a wrong image of the party and spoils the reputation of some leaders. Therefore, to control this, Advani ji has come out with some suggestions," BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said.
Speaking on the birth anniversary of Bharatiya Jana Sangh founder Shyama Prasad Mookerjee on Monday, Advani said there were too many spokespersons in the party.
Random Statements! - When did in history ever our politicians (forget just BJP) gave statements which were authorised by the party command?! Each and everyone is Media hungry, and wants his ego to be boosted by looking at himself on the TV, or to read their respectives names on the newspaper. The last time I heard a statement authorised by the party command, was when BJP lost the elections, and their party spokesperson came on TV with a brave face to read out the statement!. The irony is, Mr. Naqvi who gave the above statement, is himself not the assigned spokesperson of the party! Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad, Shri Prakash Javadeka, and Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy are the official spokespersons of the party.
Advani also advised them to check every document before they sign.
Asking them to be careful as these were critical times when individual parties were looking for opportunities to "show each other down", Advani further said that the MPs should thoroughly check the background of private secretaries before hiring them.

Check every document before they sign !!! - Has the BJP as their members, kept juvenile kids? Does it need the spoon feeding of Mr. Advani, to tell them to read every paper before signing. Yeh log kisi din desh ko bech daalenge!!! (They might just sell the country someday, unknowingly). If we have MP's and politicians like these, seriously, the BJP has no right to exist.
The background of private secretaries!!! - Is it just required that the head of the party command needs to tell these kind of things to its members?? It is just a shame that this is required to be told, and all the more, that the BJP has made these statements to the public/media, only to embarass themselves, and also the citizens of this country, thinking 'these are the kind of leaders we have!'.
Very fast, I just want to list some serious Do' and Don'ts for BJP:
Do's & Don'ts
- Throw Varun Gandhi out of the Party. With evidence on the ground, and eye witnesses agreeing that what is on the videos he actually said, no reason why he should not be out of the BJP, and rather should be in Jail!
- Forget Hindutva - Lord Shri Ram would not come and punish you if you do not go the hindutva way. For a matter of fact, you lost the last elections only because of the rubbish you guys are pushing upon the general public of this country. Time to learn from your mistakes.
- Just because you are sitting in the opposition, it does not mean, every new law or resolution which needs to be passed in the parliament needs to be opposed!. Kindly do some honest discussions, and take a decision which is in the best interest of the country. Be an healthy opposition, not filthy.
- Get some younger generation into mainstream politics, surely not Varun Gandhi. He would only lead to another big loss for you in the next elections.
- And to all politicians of all partys - You are public servants, act like one, and better do justice to your work and the country.
- Finally, do not forget all of the above.
