With the results of the bye elections in and the BJP doing well in Narendra Modi’s Gujarat, Offstumped is inviting open debate from its community of readers and twitter followers on “Minimum Government Maximum Governance” being a credible Center Right alternative to the UPA’s ostentatious austerity and one-size-fit-all psuedo progressivism.
Will the BJP go to polls in Maharashtra for the upcoming assembly elections with Minimum Government Maximum Governance as its platform ?
