Modi is probably looking to win at least 1 seat from south kerala. IIRC sushma swaraj was earlier managing kerala for BJP with no results either in assembly or center.

A PM who has no constituency
A ex officio party president dictates the writ
A judiciary which is and can be bought
Corrupt go Scott free and by stroke of ordinance
The criminal can contest and would be criminal about to be indicted
can become law minister
A defense minister who is hand in glove to subvert the nation
What is Mehta ranting about when the likes of him are themselves of questionable integrity?

We know that J&K is a sink hole
We know that KCR was propped up stooge
We know The centre is in hand in glove with naxals
What is there to be shocked?
Mehta is concerned that the common man aka aam admi is now in the know of the statecraft being dispensed under this regime. He just wants the information to be disseminated to the elite like him.
That's all his rant.

These chaps have made India one notch below the TSP tamasha

@harbans, where is the open call to $hoot Modi in Sanjiv Bhatt's page, any pointers to the post/ comment ?

Search the comments below this poem by Bhatt:

Kis Ko Takht Pey Bithaane Ki Baat Kartey Ho,
Talwaar Pe Zehar Lagaaney Ki Baat Kartey Ho.

Jiske Sar Per Ilzaam Ho Khoon Ka Aye Watan,
Usi Kay Sar Per Taaj Rakhne Ki Baat Kartey Ho.

Khadi Hai Yeh Imaaratein Yaaron Ki Qabr Pey,
Taarekh Ko Youn Badalney Ki Baat Kartey Ho.

Koi Jal Raha Hai Yeh Thodi Roshani Kay Liye,
Yeh Sach Tum Chupaaney Ki Baat Kartey Ho.

Goonjti Hai Ab Bhi Kaanon Mein Woh Cheekein,
Ussey Bhoolkar Muskuraaney Ki Baat Kartey Ho.

Laashein Padi Ho Youn Jab Raahon Mein Tumhaari,
Haddiyon Pey Sadak Banaaney Ki Baat Kartey Ho.

Badal Rahi Hai Duniya Teri Marzi Kay Khilaaf 'Saahil',
Roz Tum Yeh Duniya Badalney Ki Baat Kartey Ho.

Mangalam is not a very reliable source. It must be one of their usual speculative articles like 'Mohanlal rumoured to have blood cancer' aimed at getting more eyeballs.

From IBN Live

1:48 pm: Senior leader LK Advani is the first BJP leader to address the rally. He praises Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi saying he is the first chief minister to provide 24X7 electricity and it is followed by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh. He hits out at the UPA government saying, "UPA cannot even dream of comparing to the NDA regime." He even sounded confident of winning Lok Sabha elections and says, "We will win elections based on our good work. No party can be compared with us." Showcasing the party's strength as many senior leaders were present in the rally, he says, "This get together is not a signal just to India but to the world. Not only the senior BJP leaders but the party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is also present at this rally." Terming the rally as 'mahakumbh', he says people have come from all over the country. He says, "The BJP will give India a stable government at the Centre. We have achieved our current status by action not speeches." All the top Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders shared the stage at the party's Bhopal rally with Gujarat Chief Minister and prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi being the star draw. Senior party leaders Rajnath Singh, LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley, Venkaiah Naidu, Uma Bharti and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan shared the stage as the party went all out to project a united face. It is also the first public appearance of Modi and Advani together after the Gujarat Chief Minister was nominated as the party's prime ministerial candidate which had been vehemently opposed by Advani. To show that everything was well Modi also touched Advani's feet while BJP workers welcomed them.

http://www.firstpost.com/politics/bhopa ... 32687.html

The party, effectively, countered two strong allegations against them. One, that the party is divided by personal and hence cannot run a country. Two, Narendra Modi‘s megalomaniac streak holds him from being a great, inclusive politician, forget being the PM of the country. With everyone from Advani, Chouhan and Swaraj singing undiluted praises for Modi and hailing him as their leader, BJP dealt with the first effectively. Also, his colleagues unabashed praises made sure that Modi didn’t have to say much to promote his own brand of developmental politics. Secondly, with Modi toning down his Gujarat and I-me-myself rhetoric significantly and going all out to praise fellow CMs Raman Singh and Chouhan, the party’s PM candidate also showed that he is as capable of inclusive politics conducive to national success.

Cadre, Mandir, Mata, Maharaja and a Statue: Modi’s Kerala itinerary

Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi is visiting Kerala today evening. Following are the details of his Kerala visit.

Shri Modi will fly to Kerala from Bhopal and as Chairman of party’s national campaign committee, he will address the Kerala state BJP unit’s meeting .

On Thursday, September 26th, Shri Modi will visit Padmnabh Swamy temple and garland Mahatma Ayannakalini’s statue.

Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu located in Thiruvananthapuram, India. The shrine is run by a trust headed by the royal family of Travancore.

Ayyankali (1863–1941) was a leader of the backward class. He pioneered many reforms to improve the lives of the backward class people. In 1937 he was praised by Mahatma Gandhi when he visited Venganoor, Ayyankali’s home town. In November 1980, a statue of Ayyankali was opened at Kowdiar square, in Trivandrum. Vellayambalam Junction is in an elite Nair upper middle class area. It is at the meeting point of roads from the Kowdiar Palace and Padmanabha Swamy Temple. The Maharaja has to pass Ayyankali Statue on the way to and back from the temple for his regular prayers. Ayyankali is considered India’s first labour leader. Ayyankali demanded right for backward class children to study in school. He started a school to teach backward class children at Venganoor. He called for boycott of agricultural work raising certain demands. His demands included (a) stoppage of the practice of not giving tea in tea shops to Dalits who were given tea till then in coconut shells; (b) right to education for Dalit children; (c) resting time for workers during work hours; and (d) replacement of the system of wages in-kind by payment of cash. By 1900 Dalits were given the freedom to walk on public roads, and by 1914, Dalit children were allowed to join schools. Dalit women were allowed to cover their nakedness in public through his efforts.

Shri Modi will then hold a meeting with Maharaja of Travankor. The titular Maharaja fulfills his duties as Maharaja of Travancore in rituals related to the Padmanabhaswamy Temple. Uthradom Thirunal Marthanda Varma III is present Maharja since 1991.

Shri Modi will also visit Mata Amrutanandamayi on her 60th birthday and participate in the function at Amruta Vishwa Vidhyapeetham.

The 60th birthday celebrations of spiritual leader Mata Amritanandamayi in Amritapuri will be held from September 25 to 27 in presence of former President A P J Abdul Kalam, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna and Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy.

According to a statement from the Mata Amritanandamayi Math around five lakh people are expected to attend the celebrations, titled ‘Amritavarsham 60’. On September 25 and 26, an international summit, titled ‘Our Villages, Our World: What Can We Offer?’, will be held on Amritapuri campus of Amrita University. The concept is to use the ideas generated by the summit and implement them in 101 village adoption programme.

The inaugural function will include addresses by A P J Kalam, eminent scientist M S Swaminathan and Nobel laureate Leland H Hartwell. On September 26, Shri Narendra Modi will unveil a number of new scientific inventions and prototypes by Amrita University that are to be offered to the society. These include a wireless ECG-monitoring system called ‘Amrita Spandanam’ and a personal safety alert system, that has more than 15 features, for women in distress.

A programme to adopt 101 villages across the country, with the intention of making them self-reliant role-model villages would be launched on September 27. On the evening of the same day, Oommen Chandy will inaugurate a set of new charitable ventures of Mata’s ashram.

Shri Modi will fly to Tamil Nadu in the afternoon after completing his Kerala programmes.

A new Idea of India from NitiCentral.

A new idea of India

Lord Meghnad Desai has at last come round. It is interesting to see him discuss and endorse the need to offer space to an alternate idea of India. In fact, he is getting around to the view that there are other ideas of India and a challenge to the homogeneity inducing Nehruvian idea of India is a legitimate aspiration that requires expression.

Contrary to what is usually portrayed about the so-called Hindu Right, the idea of India that triumphed through patronage, discourse-control and academic and cultural hegemony was the Nehruvian idea of India, an idea that was sought to be imposed by its proponents allowing no other idea space or recognition. It was not the Hindu idea of India that pictured India as a perennially monolithic state. It was rather the Nehruvian idea that tolerated no other ideas and expressions of India. Any alternate vision of India was regarded with deep disdain and suspicion. The easiest thing was to label these as reactionary, subversive, anti-modern and anti-people.

It is also heartening to read of the alternate history of India being at last discussed. KM Munshi’s efforts at producing a multi-volume history of the Indian people was the result of a long-felt nationalist need for writing India’s history from the Indian point of view. Before Munshi, Tagore, whom the Left-Liberal, secular and Marxists have turned into an opponent of nationalism and a proponent of globalism, strongly felt for the need to write a history of India from a fresh perspective.

Writing sometime in early 1903, Tagore observed in one of his lesser discussed pieces, ‘History of Bharatvarsha’, that the narratives of India – in today’s parlance the ideas of India being dished out did not allow the ‘real Bharatvarsha’ to be glimpsed. ‘Those histories’, argued Tagore, “make you feel that at that time Bharatvarsha did not exist at all; as though only the howling whirlwind of Pathans and the Mughals holding aloft the banner of dry leaves had been moving round and round across the country.”

India’s civilisational essence that survived all conflict and invasion, Tagore contended, was neglected or suppressed in these portrayals or ideas of India. “…While the lands of the aliens existed, there also existed the indigenous country. Otherwise, in the midst of all turbulence, who gave birth to the likes of Kabir, Nanak, Chaitanya, and Tukaram? It was not only Delhi and Agra that existed then, there were also Kasi and Navadvipa. The current of life was flowing then in the real Bharatvarsha, the ripples of efforts rising there and the social changes that were taking place – none of these find an account in our history textbooks.” This aspect of Tagore never found space in the idea of India that dominated national life for the last six odd decades.

There were others as well, champions of an alternate discourse which sought to draw, tabulate and record alternate ideas of India. Nearly all of them had to face persistent intellectual boycott by the raucous standard bearers of the Nehruvian idea. When the doyen of nationalist historiography RC Majumdar insisted on taking an alternate route for writing the history of India’s freedom movement by saying, “I have not hesitated to speak out the truth, even if it is in conflict with views cherished and propagated by distinguished political leaders for whom I have the greatest respect” and that a “solid structure of mutual amity and understanding cannot be built on the quicksands of false history and political expediency,” he had the entire Nehruvian establishment up against him. Majumdar was completely sidelined the acolytes of Nehru’s India.

The idea of India, which has hitherto dominated the national discourse and which has gained legitimacy in the confines of the Left-dominated Indian and Western academia and has gone on to adversely influence a large section of our decision makers and therefore our national direction, is a direct creation of ‘Macaulayism’ – a mindset which has refused to recognise the essential civilisational identity of India and which has persistently worked to corrode it. Macaulayism “corrodes the soul of a culture and corrupts a social system in slow stages.” Ironically it is the de-culturised Hindu who has been one of the most unswerving proponents of this ism and has been at the forefront of propagating the idea of India that it generated.

These ‘Macaulayists’ who have institutionalised a certain idea and perception of India have themselves the following dominant characteristics which have influenced their worldview and actions in India:

» A sceptical, negative attitude towards Hindu ‘spirituality, cultural creations and social institutions.’ Nothing in Hindu India, ‘past or present’ could be approved unless recommended by Western authorities.

» A positive and ‘worshipful attitude towards everything in Western society and culture, past and present.’

» An intellectual habit to judge, ‘interpret and evaluate Hindu culture, history, society and spirituality with the help of concepts and tools of analysis evolved by Western scholarship.’ The Nehruvian idea of India was essentially fashioned by these types who thrived and multiplied post independence when the one idea of India began to dominate.

However, the growth of a multitude of alternate ideas of India now, especially one which is non-Nehruvian, non-Congress and non-Left shall usher in the end of their era. Lord Desai has rightly recognised the unmistakable wave of the age, hope some more of his stock follow suit!

This is what the UPA game plan is and BJP need to be on guard as CBI has reached the last post Amit Shah and NAMO's personal secy. So not sure how NAMO can evade the CBI net even though I am sure they have a plan. May be that is what Rajnath coveyed to Pranab that if that happens there will be blood in Akbar road!
