As expected, one by one of the PAID PRESSTITUTES are coming out of woodwork in an attempt to poke holes in Modi's grand start.

Modi’s challenge: Transforming from an Advani to Vajpayee
Is the Narendra Modi we saw yesterday the Modi India is willing to buy? The answer to this question lies in asking this question: will people believe that LK Advani can become an Atal Behari Vajpayee?
This is the challenge Brand Modi is up against, and for this we can learn lessons from the Advani-Vajpayee era, and how their brand images contributed to being who they were and what they could ultimately achieve.
Narendra Modi is now trying to convert his image from that of a hardcore Advani of the 1990s to that of a more moderate Vajpayee who ruled the country. At least, that is the conclusion that one can draw from the speech he made at the Shriram College of Commerce in Delhi, yesterday.
In the speech he said several things that tried to project an image of a moderate ‘Modi’. Lets sample a few lines.
.
If the above statements are viewed in isolation, Modi does not come across as a hardliner that he is typically made out to be. He comes across as a man who has some vision for India.
Whether that happens remains to be seen. As marketing guru Seth Godin writes in All Marketers are Liars: “Great stories happen fast. They engage the consumer the moment the story clicks into place. First impressions are more powerful than we give them credit for.”
Given this, getting rid of first impressions in the minds of the voter is very difficult unless you are the Congress party, and do not stand for anything. So it remains to be seen whether the people of India will buy the new story that Modi is trying to project at the national level. But then we all have to start somewhere.
The author is trying to put sow the seeds of doubts or give talking points to DIEnasty lickers on how to put doubts in young minds.

Narendra Modi’s SRCC speech: Why some editors chose to skip it
This morning, barring a few newspapers, it was the lead story on the front page.
There were some notable exceptions.
The Hindu , for example, didn’t mention Modi on the front page. If you wondered why, as CNN-IBN editor did, this is what
The Hindu’s editor Siddharth Vardarajan (@svaradarajan) said in response on twitter “We refuse to be part of the herd. Every story on our p1 was far more newsworthy than a speech by a CM to a Delhi college.”
But the SCUMBAG had no such compunction on being part of herd when it came to Buddhu Gandhi
Which were the front page stories that The Hindu felt were more important than Modi’s speech? The lead story was Chidambaram’s comment on the army and AFSPA, the second was a story on the Sebi-Sahara imbroglio and the third focused on the violence in a dalit hostel in Patna which was ignored by Patna University officials.
Mid-Day was another paper which ignored Modi. Not just on the front page, but completely. “
Publishing a Narendra Modi news item – especially Wednesday’s speech in New Delhi – on Page 1 is based upon two assumptions: one, that Mr Modi will be the Prime Ministerial candidate for the NDA; and two, that he will indeed become PM after the next general election. Both are, well, assumptions,” Sachin Kalbag, editor, Mid-Day, said to Firstpost.
“We did not have Mr Modi on Page 1 because chief ministers make speeches all the time. It is part of their job. I don’t remember taking a Maharashtra CM’s speech ever on our Page 1, even though we are a city newspaper and our state CM’s speech may be considered far more relevant to our readers. For that matter, we rarely take a CM’s speech even on the inside pages. Our news approach to speeches is that unless there is a policy announcement in them that affects lakhs of our readers, or they represent landmark events, we don’t analyse them. This is true for the PM, the state CM, Mr Modi, or anybody else,” Kalbag added
So how did the other newspapers see it? Take a look. The surprise is Times of India, especially the Ahmedabad edition.
Suprise? Not for me? TOIlet is known for PAID MEDIA

Modi speech: Media obsession or arrival on national stage?
It was not surprising in a country that has forgotten the real art of public oratory, Gujarat Chief minister and Prime Minister hopeful Narendra Modi’s speech at Shri Ram College of Commerce in Delhi became the upcountry national obsession on Wednesday.
Perhaps he played well to the fantasy of a generation that watched too many Obama speeches and wondered why we cannot have such leaders in our midst.
None of them, however, did realise that it was the audience that did the trick. If a politician, that too aiming to lead the country in an
aspirational and I-me-myself era , doesn’t seize the opportunity of addressing the urban youth in a premier institution, he/she is a fool and is unfit to be a politician.
Of course, you need an effective speech-writer who writes uncomplicated and non-cerebral stuff with a lot of hyperbole. Those who are used to masters of hype and futurism such as Toffler, Thomas Friedman, Nicholas Negroponte and Malcom Gladwell, it is an easy task. Hyperbole is easy because it feeds on itself. As a quintessential marketeer of Gujarat style capitalism and efficiency for some time now, hyperbole comes naturally to Narendra Modi.
Some of his facts are just packaging.
So many shots at even the audience too. He can't stand the young who appreciated it.
OK. This PAID PRESSTITUTE never raised the issue of speech writer when the Buddhu read from a written speech. Suddenly, the SCUMBAG realizes it is all speech writer's credit.
But in the south, including the only existing pocket of the party, namely Karnataka, it hardly made any ripples – neither in English nor the language press.
In the south, The Hindu completely ignored the speech, giving prominence to the protest against him at SRCC instead. It was among the second lead stories – average three column story with the two columns of the page sold out to advertisers – in the Times of India’s Chennai edition. Similar treatment was given to it in other papers as well.
In regional language papers, it was his meeting with the Prime Minister that found some space, not the SRCC speech. Tamil and Malayalam TV channels had other things to discuss on their prime time shows while the print media almost entirely ignored it.
So the PAID PRESSTITUTES quote each other, refer to each other to show how media is not bothered about Modi.
Incidentally, it was the south that contributed the country’s first growth and corporate friendly politician who sought to strike a chord with the youth and urban electorate – Andhra’s Chandrababu Naidu. He was celebrated by every media house with a lot of gusto and unprecedented hype.
In fact he was the original Modi who attracted global leaders to his city and appeared in more video conferences (techno-logistically, it was the equivalent of Modi’s 3D projection those days) than public stages. He was so busy in his speech-making and road-trips that he had appeared busier than Obama. And those days, Hyderabad was the place to visit – for efficiency, transparency, investment and infrastructure.
Where is he today? People gather in record numbers to listen to a downmarket YSR family than Naidu. Their staple is the very old political portfolio that gets resonance in the country’s rural areas – poverty and subsistence essentials. If YSR junior gets out of jail and leads a padayatra today, he will attract unprecedented crowds although in the eyes of the law, he is an alleged crook.
Similarly, in Tamil Nadu, the wave against Karunanidhi in the last assembly election was so eclipsed by the urban hype that spoke of industries, new age technologies, FDIs, gleaming infrastructure and luxury hotels that the final results really shocked the DMK camp and its followers. Nobody had expected such a rout.
India’s electoral heart is in rural areas. Urban India is good for photo and feel-good ops. Perhaps the only utility of this constituency is to generate hype and marginally influence policy because it creates some inconvenience to the politicians.
So the scumbag and PAID PRESSTITUTE thinks, looters and crooks are nation savers because they can CON people and get elected. So lets ignore development. Isn't this what Modi called "Votebank politics"?
If the governments are smart to engage them and delay decisions, they can easily defeat whatever little influence they have.
Look at this carefully. This is what Shinde, the anti-national said a while ago. Give enough time. They all forget. The SCUM is repeating what the CON WOMAN and MAFIA has been doing. Just ignore it and keep spreading lies using PRESSTITUTES in PAID MEDIA. It will be all fine. I am hoping the young India will rise and crush their hopes.

Five point someone leader: Modi does a Chetan Bhagat
by Lakshmi Chaudhry (well known PAID MEDIA lady who can't stand Modi)
“Modi struck a chord with the youngsters — some of who are expected to land jobs with astronomical pay in the country and abroad — by riding a wave of college-canteen one-liners, management evangelism usually found in self-help books, national pride and a blackout of unpleasant home truths,” notes a caustic Radhika Ramaseshan in The Telegraph, getting it almost right.
Modi spouted biz school gyaan, yes, but of a more fictional kind, the kind popularised by youngistan’s other great hero: Chetan Bhagat. The language, themes, and cadence of the speech could have been ripped straight from the pages of a CB novel.
You know when they start an article with an attack on the audience, they know they are losing it.
One of the key secrets of Bhagat’s success is the constant pandering to his young audience’s ego. The message over and again is that India will be ‘saved’ by its fabulously intelligent, creative and progressive youth, rescued from the clutches of older generations who have long outlived their use-by date. Modi was no less eager to curry favour with his “friends,” aka India’s number one asset.
Never mind that the man who led the liberalisation drive was a greybeard like Manmohan Singh. And the corporate giants like Nandan Nilekani and Narayana Murthy who put Indian IT on the global map are now in their golden years. Besides, anyone charming mouses in the era of the tablet is an unlikely symbol of the future. But, hey, the ecstatic audience didn’t care.
ha ha ha... Do you see how they can't stand that people don't care about this crook MMS and other chamchas?
Keep it simple
Critics slam his novels as simple and simplistic, while the hordes of CB-lovers adore him for precisely the same reason. College hostel lingo peppered with biz school acronyms and ‘just do it’ style pop-wisdom has propelled Bhagat to the top of the bestsellers charts. And on Wednesday, Narendra Modi did his best to follow Bhagat’s lead.
The made-up mantras: “If we have to compete with China in the 21st century, we need three ‘S’s: skill, scale and speed.”
And it worked. “A no-frills, no-fuss speech, no tedha-medha (crooked) or jalebi-like confusing statements. Spoken straight from the head and the heart,” gushed a first-year SRCC student. Modi earned himself exactly the kind of ringing endorsement typically reserved for a Chetan Bhagat novel by his legion of fans.
Remember this! This attacks on his style,speech, substance and audience will be repeated by every CON PRESSTITUTE in every avaialble forum hoping to stop Modi's surge.
But mastering the language of youngistan may not be enough to win all their hearts. As another young man told The Telegraph, “I loved Modi’s punchlines, especially the one on minimum government and maximum governance. But his potential as a national leader has still to be tested.”
In despair, the PAID MAFIA finds hope on anonymous source who said "he still has to be tested". Well! They have to believe in their own BS until the MAFIA empire crumbles.

Youth who think Gujarat is all Modi should go back to books
Modi might have been hailed as the next national leader in the halls of Sri Ram College of Commerce in Delhi, where he delivered a speech yesterday, but does anyone other than Modi buy that?
Not really, said senior journalist and columnist Aakar Patel. Speaking to Rajdeep Sardesai on a late night discussion on CNN-IBN, he said, “This kind of nonsense (that everything positive in Gujarat is credited to Modi) is not believable. If they (the youth of the country) believe that, then they should go back to their books.” He also stated that before claiming to feed people in Singapore, he should feel all the people in Gujarat first.
Where will we be without Bekaar Patel weighing in about Modi. Regardless of how many eggs end up on his face, this PAID SCUM keeps up to his assigned task of Modi bashing 24x7.
