Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India

the muslim cleric whose gift of a mulla cap to Namo was rejected in some rally is back on CNN IBN (!) howling in shrill tone that Namo has no goodwill for any community.

at this rate if my 2.5 yr old daughter is willing to go on-camera with a howl of Namo bad Namo bad, she will get her undietv/cnn interview

This is the level of discourse in the media. Where the capability of an individual is judged on the basis of his secularism.

The question to ask this joker was this, would he have accepted a Tika on his forehead and Thread in return for Modi wearing a cap.

PS:- Azam Khan of SP asked this question to some Muslim who made the CM wear a skull cap.

This is a real danger...

‘Modi’s student supporters yet to register as voters’

A recent sample survey — conducted at the MS University, Sardar Patel University and Gujarat University — reveals a lack of awareness among students on how to register themselves as voters. The random sample of 3,000 students or roughly 3 per cent of the around one lakh students enrolled in the three universities, by a group of academics from these varsities, shows that nearly 70 per cent college students, who have reached the voting age, are yet to register themselves as voters.
"College students are vocal, active, honest, with an open mind, and do not bring too much considerations regarding caste, creed, religion when deciding on who they should vote for," said Suresh Patani, head of mobile hospital division of Baroda Medical College, who spearheaded the exercise involving five academics.

Patani has served as a government-nominated senate and syndicate member of the MSU and does not hide his affiliation with the BJP and his admiration for Chief Minister Narendra Modi. "The idea of the survey was triggered after I saw Modi addressing students in New Delhi. Our survey suggests that a majority of college students want Modi to be the next prime minister. But if they are not enrolled as voters, their fascination for Modi will yield the BJP little political benefit. The real challenge for the party will be to get them registered as voters as over 90 per cent students want to exercise their voting rights," Patani said.

There is no doubt a wave in favour of Modi in many sections, the challenge, is to transfer it to polling booths.

Rediff uvaacha

A former Union Home Secretary is set to join the JD-U and contest the Lok Sabha polls from Bihar. Party chief Nitish Kumar is also keen to accommodate a former diplomat to contest the polls from his state and in all probability, the party will finance the campaign costs. Recently, this diplomat upped the image of the JD-U by defending Nitish Kumar and offending Narendra Modi

The punishment should be meted out within 2 years of coming to power. People are restless and unless they see changes, the left leaning media will get new supporters who may be fence sitters right now. JMTP.

The NaMo brigade should know details of judgement from SC about Godhra riots as well subsequent riots - both are important. In particular substance about allegations and pseudo secularism too that was observed. That would clear nonsense and lies spread to badmouth CM of a state as well PM candidate of principle opposition party. Also is not SP rule in UP these days much corruption free if seenear maulaanaa can find out.

BJP gesture was a naatak? Hmmm

"This rapprochement is just drama," Congress leader Rajiv Shukla said
A day after senior BJP leader L K Advani heaped praise on Narendra Modi, the Congress on Tuesday said the “rapprochement” between the two is just drama as there are still differences within the party over the Gujarat Chief Minister’s anointment as party prime ministerial candidate.

“BJP is divided over the issue of prime ministerial candidate. Different statements in this regard are being made every other day...Advani never attends party meetings. This shows there is no consensus in the party leadership over Modi’s candidacy,” Congress leader Rajeev Shukla told reporters here. Really? Ch**tiya kaheen ka spewing and redigressing mainstream media diarrhea as expected.

The Union Minister was responding to a query on Mr. Advani praising Mr. Modi after stubbornly resisting his anointment as BJP’s prime ministerial candidate nominee.

“This rapprochement is just drama,” he said. Haan aur khule aam desh ko lootna aur bechna by Congress is a Reality Show

Mr. Advani on Monday praised Mr. Modi for development in Gujarat, saying he hoped that all good tasks undertaken by party governments in states will be rolled out across the country.

The BJP patriarch’s public lauding of Mr. Modi came after he opposed announcement of his name as the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate before the assembly elections to five states later this year and stayed away from the decision by BJP Parliamentary Board last Friday.

Mr. Shukla, however, parried a question on Samajwadi Party-led Uttar Pradesh government being responsible for riots in Muzaffaranagar district. Mooh mei laddoo rakhe honge shaayad issliey bol nahi paayaa.

“Let the situations in Muzaffarnagar be improved. Prime Minister himself visited the district on Monday. Whatever he had to say, he has said already. When he has spoken about the issue, there is no need for any party representative to speak about it now,” he said. Kyoon? issliey ki the sadaa huaa is a center left congi in Muzaffarnagar (BSP MP Qadir Rana) and thats why PM is allowed to speak onlee ?

One thing anyone can observe is that Congress, Paid-Media and SICKulars want is that THEY and THEY ONLY have the right to determine who should be the opposition, what they should fight for, how they should conduct themselves and most importantly how they present themselves.

Unfortunately past 9-years BJP under LKG, Sushma and to some extent Arun Jaitely did exactly that.

on the process for preparing the media to be autonomous and not paid by any political party, there needs to a lot of pre-processing work that needs to be done.. normally, these in a corrupt setup like ours, should have begun long time back. this shows an area where LKG didn't think at all. One can't be like taking MMS mode to tackle issues.

well, now onam has come, we can reverse that trend in a multiple mode mantra.. best practices would be to start media clouts and organization be inflicted with dharmic parasites, and shake it like how a dharmic virus spreads.. some of the asuric functionality needs to be assimilated.

X-Posting. For this presents "Contrasting Ideas of India" part of the thread title.

Rudradev wrote:There's a lot of speculation about an INC-BSP alliance with Mayawati as UPA3 PM candidate.

This is not going to happen, mainly because the Maya-INC power equation rotates around the fulcrum of CBI blackmail.

Let's face it, CBI has investigation documents that could embarrass and politically destroy almost anybody in Indian politics today. Apart from the CBI's official files, you can be sure that individual CBI officers have also amassed such documents privately, perhaps as a last-ditch "insurance" in case their political masters decide to sell them out.

Right now the see-saw is tilted in the INC's favour because they are in power. All CBI investigation documents that would embarrass the INC are neatly buried, while those that target Maya are held over her head to make sure she behaves.

With Maya as PM the see-saw would reverse completely. Maya would have the power to bury the evidence against her own party, and would surely unearth all the existing evidence against the INC to hold over their heads. This is likely to be a mountain, compared to the boulder that INC currently holds over Maya's head.

The Termite Queen and her acolytes would never, ever allow such a situation to arise. And the thing is, they might never need to... because in fact, Maya, Mulayam, Nitish, Laloo and everyone else fear Modi much more than they resent CBI-blackmail by the INC. CBI blackmail can be negotiated, you see. Modi coming into power, however, would be a game-changer of unprecedented proportions. For Modi to become PM at all, the entire textbook of political calculus that ALL present-day formations rely on...the vote-bank formulas of KHAM, MAJGAR etc. etc. being part and parcel of it... would have to be burned to ashes by the Indian electorate. Only if Indian citizens at large decide that Modi as PM is more important to them than voting along traditional caste and community lines, does Modi have any hope of becoming PM. Such behaviour by the Indian voter, however, severely damages the INC's strategic positioning by undermining its most basic divide-and-rule assumptions; it also completely, and I mean COMPLETELY negates the very basis for people like Mulayam, Nitish, Laloo and Mayawati to have ANY political presence whatsoever.

The rise of Modi very simply means the end of Shah Bano/Mandal/Kancha Ilaiah politics (note how the attempt by Congis to foist caste-based politics via Keshubhai Patel's faction failed miserably in Gujarat state elections last year.)

Mayawati and all others will oppose this by making any compromise necessary with the INC, because it is like death staring them in the face. I think Mayawati, Mulayam, Nitish, Mamta and whoever else will all go willingly with INC... no need for PM position or any such inducement... to save themselves from the fate that would be inevitable under a transformative NaMo PM-ship.

Look at the debate on Times Now by Arnab and on Aaj Tak, the congresses stool jha had a ashen face, and the congress spokesman on aaj tak was mumbling.

Modi and His Electoral Prospects

Among the provinces, Modi was least popular in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where opposition to Modi was total. Residents of Abbottabad who were celebrating the martyrdom of Al Qaeda fighters and had taken out a rally calling for eradication of Ahmadis declared

“Extremists like Modi who do not respect minorities have no place in South Asia”.

Meanwhile on the news of people like SRK, SRT & Nilekani campaigning for Congress, it's clear that Congress is not losing hope on middle class and will try to garner as many votes through the star power of the above mentioned people + the votes of the sickular minded people. Meanwhile raul amul baba will browbeat about the "pro-poor" congress & how it's the only messiah for the poor & downtrodden in this country.
Thus, it's equally important for team Modi to add as many star faces as possible in the campaign with Modi, if not BJP per se. Col. Rajvardhan Rathore is a good start but more stars are needed to attract more voters. Sure, NaMo is a star in himself, but people of India do put greater faith in Bollywood & Cricket celebrities, and it's possible that by taking two biggest stars from these respective fields CongI is able to dent the votes meant for NaMo. THerefore, I'm guessing celebs like Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Virat Kohli or maybe some veteran cricket star, Baichung Bhutia (for NE states), Rajnikanth, heck I think even Kapil from Comedy Nights will be able to sway many North Indian votes (Navjot Sidhu is already a guest on his show). Thus, a potent mix of national & regional star power will act as boosters to the rocket ship of NaMo onlee.
