Era of one-party rule over, future belongs to coalition govts: Mulayam Singh

Mulayam's got a bee in his bonnet. Why sweat your pants so much all of a sudden, one wonders... SP's position in UP must be really shaky, seems like...

“Coalition government is the need of the country as no single party can come to power at Centre on its own strength,” he said.

Samajwadi Party, with 22 MPs in the Lok Sabha, provides crucial outside support to Congress-led UPA-II at Centre. “It is high time that parties, which have the common goal to achieve social change come together as in Maharashtra, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh,” Yadav said.

Aah. Or is he obeying HMV an trying to make a sikular front rather than let the popular anti-cong moo go to iots logiocal conclusion?

Actually. If you go back to the 90s tallies of the BJP in UP, you will find that the more BJP polarizes the Hindus in UP, the more seats they win there. 1998 they won many, 1993 also. In 2004, 2009 with weak Hindutva, they did not win too many seats in UP.

Modi does two things. Developmental agenda + polarizes Hindutva. So BJP is set to win a 90s style number of seats in UP again. To be honest, I do think that the SP is finished in UP....even as being the incumbent in the state assembly.

UP will go to BJP + BSP.

Its funny how some people in UP are reminiscing fondly about Mayawatis term...because of SPs horrible work. I thought I'd never see the day.

Mulayam may pull the plug on UPA soon: Sources
New Delhi: After the DMK pullout, the Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav has signalled at pulling the plug soon on the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government. SP sources said Mulayam has made up his mind that he wants an early election in 2013.
The former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh has been telling his party workers to be ready for the early polls scenario, sources said. Mulayam is likely to hold a big rally after Holi and will make his intentions clear, they added.
According to the sources, Mulayam has now realised that this is the last time he can have a go at the prime minister's post. Speaking at a rally in Sangli in Maharashtra on Sunday, Mulayam said that the time for a single-party government is over and all the like-minded parties must come together.
Mulayam has deputed party leaders Ram Gopal Yadav and Naresh Agarwal to be in touch with the BJD, Trinamool, DMK, RLD, RJD and the AGP, according to the sources. "People of this country don't like the Congress and the BJP and people are looking for alternative. SP will have an important role in the government, which will be formed after Lok Sabha elections. SP can form a government with all secular parties. Mulayam Singh will be next Prime Minister of India," said Ram Chandra Kushwaha, an SP leader.
"In the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, there is 99.9 per cent chance of non-BJP and non-Congress government to be installed. There is no doubt in that," said JD(S) leader Danish Ali.
But not everyone is hopeful of a third front government. "The Third Front does not even exist. They cannot form a government. Without the NDA or UPA's support, there can be no government," Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Rasheed Masood said.
"I do not think that under any circumstances a third front can form a government at the Centre. That is a far-fetched notion and a tactic being employed by politicians. I think NDA will win in 2014," JD(U) leader Devesh Chandra Thakur said.
Earlier, the Karunanidhi-led DMK withdrew from the UPA government over the ethnic Sri Lankan Tamils issue. However, the government remained in power, hinging on the support of regional parties like the SP and Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).

Utter rubbish from Mulayam, looks like he is trying the 2009 hatchet job of pushing his voter base to INC.

Mulayam Singh talks third front again, says future belongs to coalition govts

"China which supports farmers and agriculture sector is far ahead of India. Farmers are paying the price for growing expenditure on defence sector, which is the result of not-so-cordial relations of India with neighbours Pakistan, China and Bangladesh. There is dire need to help farmers," he said.

He wants farmers to join the Aman ki Asha brigade??

Maulana Mulayam will only play to the galleries. All these antics are for show/politics.
He will always eventually be in bed with INC.
SP and BSP are so readily in Congress camp that the thought itself sounds boring now.
It is more obvious than sounds in the public realm.
No use speculating. Waste of time.

Coming to Rajasthan :
BJP is gearing up. Vasundhara and her opponents are talking sweet and calm, atleast for now, even if for show. But so it seems.
State BJP is slowly but gradually pooling its power for the coming fight. It is good time to iron out the wrinkles of differences and infighting.
Gehlot also hasn't fared very badly. But he didn't do so bad even in his first term. Just alienated State employees by hard handedly crushing that famous strike. Guess who conducts polls in the state - State employees

There were rumours that the employees booted him out by doing errr magic

during the polls.
Anyway, Gehlot's grip on bureaucrats is frequently under question and it is said that his ministers aren't of use on this issue either.
Thats it for now

Survey predicts TDP as single largest party

In an interesting survey commissioned by a Congress MP hailing from Telangana, it was reported that TDP may win close to 125 seats, followed by YSRCP (79), TRS(42), Congress (32) and rest by others in the event of a mid-term poll. This data is being considered very close to the actual as it is done in a very authentic way. The Congress MP’s were heard discussing in the parliament that inspite of many challenges; TDP is still going strong in the state emerging as the single largest party. When a Jagan loyalist MP tried to dismiss such things by saying that YSRCP will sweep the state winning 200 seats, the MP’s countered him saying that things are not smooth for Jagan in the state. This is quite unlike the wave seen during by polls, equally admitting that Congress is fading away drastically from the state’s political scenario. The only way things can change is if Jagan manages to come out of jail by April or May. The other aspect is also about ensuring the roots of TRS are also cut so that Telangana dominance can be got.
Does any one believe this? I don't. Jagan the crook will win. AP is lost for another 20 years.

I for one can't believe that CON party can win 8 MP seats in AP. They destroyed AP totally in 10 years.

YSRCP chances lie in the hands of Congress..
if jagan comes out of jail then he will sweep the elections coz of sympathy factor and support INC at centre
If jagan is in jail..TDP has a very good chance . but one thing is for sure NDA cant rely on AP they have to think of other alternatives

It is a catch-22 in AP and TDP is in advantage.

Jagan's sister or his mother are not able to pull any crowds and that is the truth. TDP is slowly building over its base village after village. Jagan and INC have the same base and if INC and Jagan compete with full vigor then they will split. I cannot imagine that INC will leave the fields to Jagan and assume that he will support them at center. His support or anyone's support to Congress comes only if Congress crosses 130. If Modi can wipe out INC from North and west then by leaving all of AP to Jagan will be suicidal for INC.

Money power of Jagan will be no big deal in 2014 as TDP will also open its coffers. I thinks there will be no sweeps and it will be a tad over the half way mark even if Jagan+INC+TRS compete with TDP.

iam pretty sure that my knowledge on politics is small compared to yours.but i have observed few things
we might even see hung situation i guess.
agree that TDP is slowly gaining momentum coz of babu's yatra
but jagan has the sympathy factor with him..i observed it in the villages of Guntur and vijayawada where TDP has a stronghold
and if hegets released from jail just before elections..there will be huge momentum for YSRCP
iam a TDP supporter myself,but felt very sad when students and IT professionals were supporting jagan blindly . and when i ask about corruption by him they simply say who hasn't done it

Mulayam, I think, believes that if the elections are held in 2014, then the anti-incumbency would start hurting the chances of SP in UP. So better to have elections now.

I think Mulayam also feels that waiting too long would mean that UP would be in the grips of the Modi wave in 2014, so better to go to elections now when the wave is still manageable.

This however depends on DMK's stand. If DMK sticks to withdrawing support to UPA-II, then Mulayam is also gone. Perhaps being known as the one who brought down the UPA-II Govt, could help him in UP and bolster his credentials of being anti-INC.

If SP pulls the plug, BSP would not want to be the lone party supporting INC as that would hurt BSP as well.

BJD coming near to BJP is a great news. Particularly when they are going to be near NaMo is a great news. It will start. Unlike other politicos BJD leaders have some what clean image and doing good admin work. I hope some other good and clean politicos will also come with BJP. With regard of BJP and TRS coming close - TRS is a congress creation so it coming near BJP is not possible. Even in resent no confidence vote TRS and YSR criminal gang moved it together. The only party who can be allied with BJP is TDP. But Naidu is continuing with his love affair with Communist Bas***ds and having wet dreams about 3rd front. He will be planing right into INC hands it he pushes too for into this line.

One more interesting things CBN did was to offer some benifits to Bramins - TDP being a Kamma party is highly anti Bramin by nature and actions and thereby pushed bramins into the arms of INC (because there is no BJP in AP) Now it seems the Kamma networks want to make peace with Bramins. CBN must be really desparate otherwise thing kind of thing is unimaginable.

Some folks here post news from this site, aphearld.com. According to it, there is a chance of tie-up with BJP
http://www.apherald.com/Politics/ViewAr ... ill-open-/

It all depends on how INC, YSRC, and TRS play. If those 3 truly compete, TDP wins straight with or without BJP.
If INC and TRS go in Telangana, TDP has to go with BJP.

As the website alluded minority votes (2-5% M+C for TDP) are important to TDP as it lost by small margin last time.
They need tight control on their votebanks. If they go alliance now without any news on when the elections will be,
there is a danger Congress can do a Godhra like operations and TDP can get affected too if they go with BJP for early alliance.

A lot of ifs, buts, and what-ifs at this time. BJP goal has to be to let TDP win as much as possible. TDP is only non-Congress
centrist party left in India.

This is dangerous for NDA as it is INC strategy* regardless of what happens to TDP. This will push into the following TRS+BJP, TDP, INC+YSRC and you see INC in AP. Non-Congress votes will be split between TRS+BJP and TDP and INC+YSRC wins in Telangana. Insecurity due to Telangana politics causes non-Telangana vote for INC+YSRC. TRS, YSRC are Shakunis (like PRP) laid out by Congress.

Whether BJP understands or keeps short-signtedness about what INC, YSRC, and TRS are all about is important for AP outcome.

BJP has 3-5% scene across many districts, it triangular fight those numbers may be important to its allies. Alternatively, potential allies might think those are dead votes anyway and ignore BJP. After all, grand strategies and tactics and elaborate campaigns and rallies, BJP is nothing in AP.

Chennai: Setback for DMK, CBI finally nails Karuna's family

Chennai, March 25: In a major setback for DMK and its supremo M Karunanidhi's family members, the investigative agency Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) seems to have nailed its top leaders in connection with the illegal car import case.

After its massive raids in across Chennai and Tamil Nadu, the CBI reportedly have found evidence which shows that the officials of Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) allegedly covered up the illegal car imports of different members of DMK first family members.

According to sources, CBI raids revealed that the accused DRI officials have been trying to hide information regarding the usages of luxury import cars by MK Alagiri, MK Stalin and his son Udayanidhi.

CBI raids reveals that while Udayanidhi has a Toyota Estima, Alagiri and Stalin also are suspected to be using illegally imported cars violating import duty rules.

Sources reported that the investigating agency is investigating a BMW X5, a Toyota Lexus and a Prado SUV being used by Alagiri, Stalin and their families.

The latest revelations in the case might have boost up the probe by the CBI which had faced tremendous criticism following its sudden raid at Stalin's house. The agency was criticised as the raid was conducted within 48-hours of DMK's move of pulling out support from Congress-led UPA government.

Beginning from Prime Minister Manmmohan Singh to Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram slammed the CBI which later was forced to call off the raid. Now, with these new revelations against the DMK first family in Chennai, the CBI seems to have regained its lost position.

Interesting that CBI decided now to go after DMK!

In IT/Nelson survey of 2009/2010 (don't remember the year), the survey had given approx 1/3 vote to each BJD/BJP/Cong in that order with Cong predicted as falling and BJP rising. BJD enjoys clean image but does not enjoy progressive status ( Namo or Niku). BJP may still not win big in Orissa (owing to lack of org and suitable candidate), they will win and have some influence. If there is indeed a Namo wave, I would expect Orissa to fall for BJP (in Loksabha) sooner than other states. But I guess here is where strategic gurus within BJP (no not the D-4 or Aircondition pasand leaders) have to really calculate and make the right decision.
