Of course, everything is relative in politics. India is still quite liberal compared to the United States, so when people refer to the NDA coalition as "center-right," that's true only in Comparison to the UPA coalition which is "center-left." That said, I may have missed your point. Are you suggesting that the BJP is actually more liberal than Congress?
And thanks for the link.
