  1.  @anupamsharma1  For BJP beloved APJ Abdul Kalam a Science and Technolgy ICON is available; APJ was well supported by Atalji for india’s Nuclear Programme and later BJP made him President of India ; Aurengazeb is not needed with all his atrocities to the indian community ( i read only ) ; May be suitable for congress to adopt blindly for vote bank ;

  4. I love to hear Shekarji speaking on current issues with whatever little time available to me ; Shekarji had mentioned about MGR as the cultural ICON in Tamil Nadu ; The name MGR still lives in Tamil Nadu after his demise 30 years plus ago ; MGR voters still vote only for his party ; However BJP had gone one step ahead ; They are invoking great Tamil saint THIRUVALLUVAR as their Icon ; Most of the other parties simply have no answer for this strategy ; BJP had painted a picture of thiruvalluvar in a typical BJP clan ( Saffron clad with appearance of hindu saint ) ; All opposition are shouting at this against BJP ; They went to the extent of Invoking Lord Karthikeya for thier support and this goes well with public ;
