Tech Savvy, bungee jumping indian politician goes online

Submitted by Karthik on 9 March, 2004 - 08:53

Baijayant “Jay” Panda, a 40 year old US educated Oriyan politician, has launched his own website. While, most educated (i.e sensible :P) people try and avoid any forays into Indian politics, primarily due to it's inherent corruption, it's quite heartening to see MP Panda making his stand. Read the full story here.

He seems like the Parthiv Patel of Indian politics.. Looks ten years younger than he actually is.. Also, you'll need to head to the profile section for the bungee-jumping bit ;P

The article got me googling for a list of links to Indian political parties.. Read on for a list of the (working) links that I found..

In no particular order:

BJP
VHP
RSS
CPI(M)
CPI(M) [2 Official Sites?!
CPI(ML) Red Flag
Shiv Sena
DMK
Samajwadi Party
Indian Liberal Group
AIADMK
TDP
Indian Youth Congress
Swatantra Bharat Party
Trinamool Congress
The Victory of India Party
Bhartiya Democratic Party

Bahujan Samajwadi Party [Can't find the Official One..]
Link [Broken Link..]
Akali Dal [Seems to have been stolen :S]
Congress [Seems to have been stolen as well]
Tamil Maanila Congress [Stolen No. 3]

The Indian Youth Congress page points to www.soniagandhi.com instead of www.soniagandhi.org, thus redirecting you to www.indiawedding.com rather than the homepage of the Italian born Congress leader :D

I have absolutely no idea as to why all of them don't use gov.in domains. After all, that's what they are there for :S
