Sushma Swaraj
The Unofficial Fan Page of SushmajiBJP’s Suicide Bomber!
1. A student leader who fought against the Emergency. Minister at 25 years age in Haryana in the Janata Party government formed in its aftermath (1977-79).
2. Founding member of the BJP (from 1980).
3. Elected 2 terms to the Haryana Assembly, 2 terms to the Lok Sabha (including the latest Lok Sabha from Vidhisha) and 3 terms to the Rajya Sabha. Currently the deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha.
4. One of the most popular party campaigners ever. Only Atalji, Advani and recently Modi are more sought after.
5. The most senior women leader in the history of BJP. (neither a royal nor a political surname).
6. A leader who has never said “no” to the party. Wanna contest in Bellary, a constituency where BJP has never won against a Gandhi? I’m ready. Wanna salvage one of the worst state governments in the history of the country and have 1 month to do it? And I have to give up my Union Cabinet minister post for that? Let me give it a try.
7. A leader from the Punjab/Haryana/Delhi/Chandigarh region, Congress citadels all, that BJP desperately needs to recover. Thats 31 seats.
8. A darling of the media and a leader comfortable with opposition leaders (she was Parliamentary affairs minister in Atalji’s cabinet). She will be a magnet for attracting new allies.
9. A leader loved by the party cadre. No one in Karnataka has forgotten her campaigning in Kannada with Jasmine in her hair. Ask Orissa BJP workers or Naveen Patnaik about her Oriya.
10. A Law and Arts graduate; a BJP mother who said she is ok with her daughter going to a pub at the height of Ram Sene non-sense.
