Appeal by Sonia Gandhi to the Nation:

Friends,

Today I want to share with you what is in my heart, what makes me proud to be Indian, as each of you is a proud Indian. Our India is founded on certain core beliefs and values. It is these basic beliefs that have united all of us, diverse people, into one nation. I learnt these from you, as you made me one of your own.

What are these values that are the very heart and soul of our motherland? They are Love and Respect, Harmony and Brotherhood. In a word, Non-violence.

Living with these feelings for each other across religions, castes, communities, regions, languages, is what makes us one strong nation. These have been the bedrock of our progress. These are the essence of our Bharatiyata, our Hindustaniyat.

It is this, the very heart and soul of India, that we are fighting to protect in this election, from those who seek to change it, and to divide us. We want unity. They want to impose uniformity. They say, “Just believe in ME”.

We say, “Believe in our intentions, in our achievements : a high rate of growth, inclusive development, strong democratic institutions."

We are fighting in this election for a future where power is not the preserve of a select few, but exercised by the many.

Today, our society stands at a cross-roads. The Congress ideology and vision, will continue to take us towards a healthy, free democracy open to the light of change and transformation. Their vision, clouded with hatred and falsehood, their ideology, divisive and autocratic, will drive us to the ruination of our Bharatiyata, our Hindustaniyat.

In this coming election I ask each of you to think from your heart and decide what direction, what path you want our country to take.

What is Congress Ideology?

Namo is choosing his channels wisely.... India TV, now TV9... avoiding the loudest mouths in the news biz in the angrezi dilli studios and going to the real mass-reach vehicles i.e. vernacular rising stars. Good move.

I appeal to NaMo,as a SDRE mango abdul,that Mrs Antonia Maino,Mr Raul Vinci and Ms Bianco be given an all expenses paid long vacation to a GOI owned lodging facility in the beautiful islands of Andaman and that Shri Namo expedite all legal processses to arrange this vacation as early as possible when he comes to power.

Well sentiments were running very high at that time and security was not like what we see today. PM used to meet people directly. She told that she donated jeweleries and warm clothing as most of the families in villages. She felt agitated and actually used the word "beaten". Might be "heckled". But one thing is sure he lost respect after that. It was rebuilt again by her daughter , that too after 1971.

Matrimc, I will ask her if she remembers any specific date. Sure it would have been reported in newspaper and I remember a number of newspapers used to come to our home.1971 was tracked closely. My Grandfather who participated in all Wars as Commissioned Officer (retired in 1980) had a lot to say but alas! he is no more to get reconfirmation. Back in 1962 I was not even born. I will search if any references are available online.

NaMo Replies to Toffee barb of RG at Hazaribagh in Jharkhand Today.
Roughly translated from Hindi

"For ten days he was talking of balloon, balloon and balloons. But as is the nature of children, they are not satisfied with one toy for long. Now he has got hold of "Toffee" from yesterday. Do you want a Toffee waala or Trophy Waala?"

^^ We are from there onlee saar. IIRC, BJP might scrape through due to vote cutting of peacefuls by JD(S) and due to miffed Jaffer Sharieff not supporting INC this time around.

Only BJP pamphlets being dropped at our place and no sign of INC folks. Guess INC and JD(S) didnt even bother coming to our streets ( 4-5 main roads) since they dont want to waste their time.

I also remember Arun Singh from the Indian Express reports during the Rajiv era. (guess Arun Shouries was the editor during those days). IIRC, he used to write occasionally on IE and was an hawk.

+1. He'll probably derecognize pak as it stands, will say India recognizes Pak consisting only of pakjab and sindh.

Here's more from the man:

A day earlier, Swamy had called Priyanka Gandhi an ungrateful daughter for going to see the prisoners in jail who assassinated her own father.

Later, taking on the Varun Gandhi issue, Swamy tweeted, "Good luck to Varun. One Nehru whose blood is 100 percent Hindustaniyat. No wonder Booze and Buddhu jealous (sic)."

Congress spokesman Ajay Maken said: "Subramanian Swamy's statement crosses all limits, we condemn it. Use of such words against women is unacceptable."

Later, condemning the Congress workers' protest outside his house, Swamy said, "How will democracy function if they will behave like criminals?"

In a lighter vein, Swamy added, "More people showed up than Rahul Gandhi's meeting."

Clarifying his stand on his earlier 'alcoholic' remark on Priyanka Gandhi, Swamy said, "All I said was Priyanka Gandhi should quit smoking and set an example. Why doesn't she say she doesn't drink?"

Earlier, the BJP leader had also tweeted about his remark: "First Amrinder's failure to disclose illegal account then Booze and final Robber's fraud. Wait for Namo's Special Courts . Within one year!"

Arun singh and rajiv gandhi were once very close and so were their wives. Singh was specially moved into adjacent bungalow with easy access via a internal gate in the garden between the two.

but around the time of bofors he seems to have cut all ties and retired into exile until jaswant singh for some reason brought him back for a while.

sounds like a honourable man to me.

Mandya and hassan are fixed. One among shimoga or chikballapur may go jds way. Chikballapur totally depends on bache gowda of bjp, how much vokkaliga votes he can cut from hdk. Bangalore central is the most difficult seat to guess. Caste equation, educated voters..everything is un predictable this time. Anybodays game with less than 5000 marging
