The Importance of Face Value - Part 1


I never believed in the policies of BJP. But I supported it. I supported it till last General Elections. Why?
Brand “Vajpayee”. The faith in the name of the person and when he left the party I stopped supporting it. The association with “Vajpayee” started long time back when I listened to his speech in parliament when his party was not able to prove the majority within 13 days. He became emotional. He fired back to the opposition and in that way he got attached to so many Indians.
I was the only follower of Vajapayee in my whole family. I remember his jokes and cheerfulness in the parliament. He was the face of Non Congress Indians. But as soon as he left, many followers like me left hi s party because we never believed in the ideology of the party.
What would have happened if Vajpayee would have been on the other side? In a political party whose ideology matches mine? Was I misguided because I trusted his face value? Was he just a face who can get connected to millions of Indians and the real man behind the face was someone else?
