Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections

^All recent polls across multiple sources with different political persuasions (CSDS, Hansa, Neilsen, 5forty3 etc.) are giving 190-200+ to BJP alone, so it seems quite reasonable to assume that the numbers are alright.

Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India

He also stressed that even the lowest level factory worker should be treated with utmost respect. Not sur...

Once the papers are rejected, is it not allowed to submit the corrected papers again? Is there no second chance? That seems pretty odd.

This is a BIG news! N.K. Singh can be a Vibhishan for Modi - he knows (or should know because of his erstwhile position) all the financial/corruption related secrets of the dynasty and the larger C-System. If deployed properly, he can be a potent weapon against the dynasty and its minions.

Given this broad consensus among disparat...
