Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections

BJD is saying that they will maintain equi-distance from BJP-Congress which really means that if BJP crosses 200 he is in. Kanimozi is saying that Amma must be stopped from becoming PM. So who is left with UPA for sure - RJD, SP and BSP. All others can provide support from outside and be part of NDA...

Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections

NAMO should pick up the line "Securalists have stabbed the muslims from the back" a la "astin ka saap...". Better to vote for a known enemy than a hidden one! I think he is doing that as i see that he is tearing into % of urban muslim poors in Bihar and UP vs Gujrat!

Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections

The CPM had found the idea to be too religious and spiritual with Hindutva leanings, and its leader in the Rajya Sabha Sitaram Yechury had raised the issue with the Union Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions V Narayanasamy, who in turn decided to withdraw the module. Th...

Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections

The concept of "wave" has to be re-defined post Rajeev period. A "wave" now means around 200 seats and not 300 seats. ABV wave resulted in BJP getting close to 200. Sonia wave got congi 206 seats in 2009. NAMO wave will see BJP surely touching 200 in 2014. But, i firmly believe t...

Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections

If BJP is around 180 then Congress will be around 120 if not more ( 300 seats between these 2 parties ). Which states will congress get 120 seats from? All big ones are now out of its reach - ground reality and not opinion data points have confirmed this.

Shahi imam is not different than Congi. For him, like a true secularist, muslims are just a vote bank. Only the muslims can get destroy this secularism which is basically a gun at their head which prevents them from joining the national mainsteam and enjoying the fruits of development and progress!

How much is the Chinese debt per capita? May be it can take 4 times the US debt as it has 4 times the US population. This gigantic debt will surely have an mega effect. When and what will it trigger it is the only question that remains to be answered.
