Re: AP Politics and runup to 2014 General elections
Folks, there is a country called India beyond Seemandhra,Telangana and so forth. Stop blaming NaMo for this as he is not even a MP; D4 currently rule the parliament and will have things their way unless NaMo sacks them from the BJP - not possible right?!. Time is not to get emotional but move on wit...

Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections
I feel, there is a significant amount of Non-Marathi middle class population in Pune, and they do not identify themselves with either MNS,SS,NCP. So for a lot of them, it IS an alternative, which is secular, speaks their language i.e. Hindi/English. Now I do not know whether they would have for BJP...

Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections
Sir, Pune's voter base is different from Mumbai - unlike Mumbai, native Maharashtrians are still a majority despite the IT and other industry related migrations for the last few years. P eople who have made Pune their home in last 10 years come from all across the country so their voting patterns ar...

Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections
Why is Pune consistently on that list? Do folks seriously think that AAP will win despite a strong base of NCP/CON on one side, BJP/Sena/RPI on the other hand, with MNS as the turd front (Remember Arun Bhatia types....)? IMHO Pune should be out of that list.

Folks, Please do not expect Modi to talk about Hindutva in rallies and give an easy stick for the opposition to beat the BJP with. What Modi will do is simply enforce the rule of law without showing any favour and that alone will take care of all anti nationals - Muslims or Hindus and that is what w...
