Not so easy buddy. First of all, the difference was 2% in 2008 Assembly. In 2009 LS it became 8% (congress vote share in assembly and LS stayed pretty much the same, but BJP improved by 6%. You can attribute it to the fact that voters may vote for national parties in LS, but then why did the congress not gain anything). Moreover, congress gets most of its votes from couple of areas and that is where its votes are concentrated. BJP is better spread out. So even if congress pips BJP in vote share (which they wont), they will still lose. Moreover, do you really think that congress is going to get any sympathy becos of this??? If not what did they gain here, without these leaders, ajit jogi can only dream of becoming CM. BJP is going to win this state with a landslide.

My guess is that it was paki jarnail type strategic brilliance of Ajit Jogi. It's going to backfire very badly on Congress. If one remembers he had done similar thing in 2003 after state election results came out. He tried to buy MLAs for cash and claiming that he had orders from Sonia for the operation. There were some audio tapes and as usual BJP high command saved the day for Sonia.

PAID MEDIA will keep leaking speculative news from NIA and try to embarrass Raman Singh.

BJP as a counter strategy should catch few Ajit Jogi followers and keep spreading info that they leaked info and even called them. Just create a furore in Parlaiment asking if MAINO has a hand in it. Offense is the best form of defense. keep raising who ordered the change of the route? Just leverage paid media and poke the MAINO's in their eyes.

Wonder who he is talking about.....
Terming the action against him as "stupidity", the 89-year-old lawyer alleged that there are people within the party who do not wish to speak about black money and recover it from the criminals.

"There are undesirable elements in the party, who are out to demolish the party from within. They are in league with the corrupt rulers, whom I want to displace. And the cause of my expulsion is the presence of those undesirable elements in the party. I will not rest content till I expose them," Jethmalani told a TV channel.

Not sure if you blaming BJP for what is going on is the right strategy.

1. Maino clan is running a huge MAFIA operation whether it is COAL or CWG or 2G or Naxals. The entire law and order machinery, media and even Naxla are co-opted into this game.
behing the

They have openly stopped operations by some in the cabinet supporting Naxals. This is a good game.

As soon as a scam breaks out, the paid media breaks out another scam to divert the attention.

2. BJP can do only that much with compromised institutions and paid media. It is hard to fight back at collusion of interests across the spectrum.

The major suspicion seems to be that rootless Delhi leaders & even part of RSS leadership are ganging up with foreign interests i.e. Maino clan to get back at Modi and hurt India in the long run. Not sure how much we are right but it appears so.

You should read this

The Kettle Hits Back
Anti-Modi crusaders run their rabid campaigns blindfolded

However, the Gujarat riots of 2002 converted Modi bashing into an extremely rewarding career advancement strategy for media persons, NGO activists, academics and sundry intellectuals. Conversely, you are condemned to lifelong perdition, treated as a political and intellectual outcast subject to unending vilification campaigns starting with being labelled a fascist if you dare say one word either in defence of Modi or suggest a bit of caution to Modi bashers.

As the Congress party seems on decline there is increasing desperation in the air for all those who have survived on the Party’s patronage. The possibility of Modi emerging as a winner has put them in panic. That is why the media in general and TV anchors in particular have gone so overboard in demonizing Modi that even people like me who have been consistent critics of BJP feel revolted enough to say: “This has gone too far. Please don’t manipulate us beyond our tolerance limit.”

Nothing changed since Madhu Kishwar wrote this. The only thing is the whole PAID media, Shriat supporting Lefty racist crowds (Resident Indian & NRI) all use Divide & Rule policy to split BJP. Unfortunately, BJP top leadership has fallen for these tricks.

Do not underestimate the support to Raman Singh - He is very clean person which counts for something in todays world. I went in the road of CM residence when Jogi was CM and the road was almost blocked with party people and all kind of others with cars and what not. I went in the same road long after Raman Singh became CM and no one was there in the road. I asked the auto fellow and when asked the auto driver told me that Docter Saheb do not meet anyone at his official residense and in case of any work we have to meet him in the office only. There was no one on the road with CMs residence. I have also seen many poor tirbal people touching his feet because of the food distribution in the extremely poor tribal areas.

With all the AP CONGis now joining the TRS, has created absolute panic in CONGis circle. Maybe letter they will take money and split TRS to get back into CONGi fold. Currently the CONGis are paying money to TRS to join TRS (to get tickets etc).

Situation is hilarious if not tragic. The good part is currently CONGis are demoralized and running scared in AP and they are hoping that Pappu will do some jadu., like announce Telangana. If Telangana is announced, gorkhaland., bodoland., vadrapradesh is not far behind.

Why TRS? Does it have that mass support?

I thought other than CONgis & TDP every one has some support in Telangana including BJP? Can BJP win 5 seats in there with Modi?

My logic, the above guys are already being put to pasture in CONGis either by high command or people or both. So how do they continue to be in prominence? Join TRS. "People" part will be taken care of if they get elected on TRS ticket - they can make the moolah later (for eg. based on some or other bill being passed and requiring their support). Regarding career, if Telangana forms and if TRS comes through, they may have a shot at a promising career which they do not have anyway under CONgi.

BJP getting 1 seat in Secunderabad will be a miracle with Modi!

Looks like the hurry is to upstage BJP


TOI
LINK
HYDERABAD: Telangana Congress MPs G Vivekananda and Manda Jagannatham along with senior party leader K Keshava Rao on Thursday finally carried through their threat and announced that they would join the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) on June 2. The leaders had earlier given May 30 as the deadline for the Congress to announce a favourable decision on Telangana failing which they said they would resign from the party. The Telangana Congress leaders had issued such deadlines in the past, but did not follow it up with their resignations.

But this time around, it finally happened. "We had given time till May 30 for the Congress leadership to take a positive stand on Telangana. Leave alone taking a stand, they did not even bother to take note of our deadline. This shows their indifference to the sentiments of the people of the region. Therefore, we have decided to quit the anti-Telangana party and join the TRS," said Vivek, who represents Peddapalli in the Lok Sabha.

Along with the three leaders, former minister and Vivek's brother G Vinod too will switch over to the TRS at a public meeting at Nizam College grounds in the city on June 2. Also joining the TRS on the occasion would be Keshava Rao's son Viplava Kumar and Manda Jagannatham's son Srinath. TRS sources said the venue and the timing is meant to upstage the public meeting of the BJP that is scheduled to take place at the same grounds on June 3 in which independent MLA Nagam Janardhan Reddy is to join the BJP in the presence of party president Rajnath Singh. The MPs will have to quit their Lok Sabha seat once they join the TRS.

In a day of swift developments, TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao drove down to Vivek's residence in the afternoon where they took part in a meeting along with Manda Jagannatham, his son Srinath, Keshava Rao's son Viplava Kumar, G Vinod, and TRS leaders including B Vinod Kumar and Etela Rajender. According to the sources, after a certain understanding was reached over the nomination for Lok Sabha and assembly seats for those joining the TRS, the leaders formally announced their parting of ways with the Congress to the media. :rotfl:

As per the understanding, Vivek and Manda Jagannatham would contest from Pedapalli and Nagarkurnool (they presently represent) Lok Sabha seats on TRS ticket. Vinod will contest from Choppadandi assembly seat. While Keshava Rao would not contest the polls, his son Viplav is to be given TRS ticket either from Serilingampally or Rajendranagar assembly segments and Jagannatham's son Srinath from Alampur assembly seat.

The deal with S Rajaiah, Telangana Congress MP from Warangal, could not be worked out as there were differences between him and the TRS on the demands made by the former, the sources added.

During the day, chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy sent his emissary Medchal MLA K Laxma Reddy to Vivek's residence to dissuade him from leaving the party, but it was in vain. "It is a great day for Telangana as the movement has got a boost due to stalwarts like Keshava Rao, Vivek, and Manada Jagannatham deciding to join the TRS. It will not stop at this. There are many pro-Telangana leaders from the Congress, TDP, and YSR Congress who will join us in due course," said KCR. :rotfl:

The announcement of the defection to the TRS by these three Telangana Congress leaders has thrown up a divide in the T-Congress camp with MPs Ponnam Prabhakar (Karimnagar), Madhu Yashki Goud (Nizamabad), Gutta Sukender Reddy (Nalgonda), and Komitireddy Rajgopal Reddy ( Bhongir) deciding to stay back in the Congress for now.

Just another proof that D4 is batting for Dynasty.
UPA govt in saddle because of strife in BJP: Chautala

INLD supremo and former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala has stated that the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre was able to continue in power only due to internal strife in the BJP.

“A strong Opposition is a must for a healthy democracy and it is due to the weak Opposition that the Congress-led government has managed to survive despite a series of scams. Manmohan Singh is an honest statesman, but what’s the use of his honesty if he has no control over his Cabinet colleagues, many of whom are facing corruption charges?” Chautala said in an informal chat with this correspondent at Medanta Hospital. He is on interim bail for medical treatment after he was sentenced by a Delhi court in the Junior Basic Trained Teachers recruitment scam.

Wearing a khadi kurta and sporting his trademark green turban, the ex-Chief Minister warmly meets visitors in his hospital room to enquire about his well-being. In between, he answers telephone calls from his well-wishers.

He addresses most of the visitors by their name and replies to their questions regarding his health. “Doctors say I’ll be fine after getting a pacemaker installed. As of now, they are carrying out certain tests and will decide the final course of action after seeing the reports,” he explains.

In the course of discussion, Chautala expresses concern over the recent Maoist attack on a convoy of Congress leaders in Chhattisgarh. He also asks visitors about the status of power and water supply in their areas and other local issues.

Asked about his party’s stance in the Central politics, the INLD leader says they had been making efforts towards the formation of a Third Front and would continue to do so.

He, however, parries queries on the possibility of an alliance with the BJP in Haryana. On being prodded, Chautala maintains that his party was ideologically against the Congress and they were always ready to accept or extend support to any anti-Congress party.

“Above all, we have joined hands with the people of the state and will work for their welfare,” he asserts.

In response to another question, the former chief minister says he would apply for a regular bail and also for a stay on conviction, adding that he had full faith in the country’s judicial system and was hopeful of getting justice.

He, however, maintains that the Congress governments at the Centre have been using the CBI to harass their political opponents and his case was no exception.

Now, the UPA regime is trying to free the CBI from government control as they are apprehensive that the next ruling party/alliance could also use the CBI to expose its misdeeds,” the INLD leader observes.

Pretty Aggressive posturing by BJP on Chattisgarh naxal attack.



Sonia not serious in combating Naxalism in India- BJP.
Sonia supported Digvijaya Singh when he criticized home minister after Naxalites killed 75 security forces in Dantewada- BJP
Who is the Naxalite supporter became member of NAC of Sonia Gandhi? - BJP
Sonia inducted Naxalite supporters in NAC to soften up action against Naxalites- BJP
Who are the naxalite supporters in NAC? - BJP
We will expose all those who deal with Maoists softly and pretend before public they are tough- BJP
Jairam Ramesh should know whether the NREGA money in Orissa going to the Naxalites or being spent on people- BJP
A person who got jail for life on Maoist issue is now member of NAC of Sonia-BJP
Sonia was fighting Naxalism or giving award to pro Naxalite, convicted person? - BJP

As per the rumours in AP Rs. 100 Cr were changed hands in the resent naxal terror attack. Wild theory may be. But when the amount is mentioned along with the name of Ajit Jogi we are not rule out any bad thing. He, mafia and Ej gang seems to be really desparate.

Even the recent massacre in Chhattisgarh has not been able to unite the Congress bigwigs in the state.

Many Congress leaders willingly point fingers at former chief minister Ajit Jogi, who escaped unscathed in the attack, and others in the convoy who did not share a similar fate.

Mahendra Karma and Nand Kumar Patel lost their lives. Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister V C Shukla, who was severely injured, is in intensive care at Gurgaon's Medanta Hospital and remains critical.


An upset Jogi even felt compelled to issue a clarification.

All of this, claim Congress insiders, is the result of the ongoing tussle over the leadership of the party in the state.

While Jogi has emerged as the front-runner and a 10, Janpath favourite, Union Minister of State Charan Das Mahant is an aspirant too. The latter has the support of many bigwigs including Congress General Secretary Digvijaya Singh and AICC treasurer Motilal Vora.

It remains to be seen how this 'no-holds-barred' power tussle will impact the Congress in assembly polls scheduled to be held in November 2013.
Looks like even the Congress insiders in Chattisgarh believe he was involved. NIA was brought to cover it up. The Maino clan has to be exposed by BJP by tapping into some of these congressmen.

New Delhi, May 31 (IANS) Saying that there were “conspiracy theories from the Congress household” doing rounds regarding the last week’s Maoist attack in Chhattisgarh, the BJP Friday demanded that former chief minister Ajit Jogi testify before the panel probing the incident.

“The Congress rumour mills are active… Conspiracy theories are coming out of the Congress household,” Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said.

The BJP spokesperson added that instead of answering questions about one of the Congress MLAs escaping on a motorbike and Jogi using a helicopter after the Congress party function in the Bastar region, the former Chhattisgarh chief minister was threatening legal action against BJP leaders for their remarks.

“There may be questions which Mr Jogi may have to answer,” she said, adding that Jogi can make his stand clear before the judicial commission probing the attack that left 28 people dead.

“In Chhattisgarh, the environment is full of questions which the Congress and its leadership may have to answer,” she said.

Somehow I do not think it is now easy for INC to recover in Chattisgarh. Serious damage was already done with the rumours and impression that Jogi has something to do with the terror attack and killing of the senior congress leaders. I do not see any Shukla and other deceased leaders supporters now voting for INC as they will never ever take a chance of Jogi becoming CM. As there is no negative waive against BJP it may carry the day.

The vernacular press, the families of the dead are all pointing fingers at congress party's and centre's handling of Naxal menace. The family members are also suspecting internal sabotage. Raman Singh's government is sitting as though they are vindicated.

You take Binayak Sen, Aruna Roy and Arvind Kejriwal into government run NACs and AAPs and call state governments for law and order failure will not cut ice with the population. It is not going to work.

If you want numbers you would do it the way it is done anywhere in the world, i.e. by asking a representative cross-section. Problemo?

What is the use of that? go by surveys and "world class" number creation, people will say the center is complicit in law and order, corrupt. It will in the end elect Himachal Government where the CM is involved in the corruption case. The center to make him CM made an extra arrangement of clearing him.

Gorillas does imitation. India's situation is not fit to apply number churning models of the world. Tell me some other way as these numbers have no relevance to India. Everything is manufacturable. All you need is just some filthy money to manufacture. The filthy money can be printed too.

Getting Fordriwal donation is also about numbers. Hopefully what he claims he got is not rigged. I suspect it should be Mainoriwal as true number/donation comes from there.

In Chattisgarh there is only one king and that is Raman Singh. Anything else is all hot air. Let the congress party and Naxals figureout who is best between them.

One should respect his service to the nation however LKA really needs to retire now and leave younger leaders to take the BJP forward. His statement below is further proof that even aged 85 he holds ambition for the top job. Whether deliberate or not, LKA is now a trojan horse for the BJP.

LK Advani takes a swipe at Narendra Modi, rates Shivraj Singh Chouhan higher than him

Mr Advani also said today that Gujarat was already economically prosperous when Mr Modi took over and that the BJP leader had only made it better. "I always tell Narendra Modi that Gujarat was already prosperous, 'You have multiplied the development there'... But Madhya Pradhesh and Chhattisgarh were not so prosperous... After multiplying the rate of development in Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj ji is still humble as a person." Mr Advani's contention is almost in line with the Congress', which holds that Mr Modi's success in Gujarat is built on the foundation that its governments had laid in the state.

It was Raman Singh who brought in the NIA, he should explain why he did that.
He did not. The center did. If he blocked it, he would be suspected of the attack.
