Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India

[SwamyG]

is that a tri colored umbrella ???

Yes. Watch the video on Youtube. It's pretty dramatic. Hard-hitting speech by NaMo. Venkayya looks in an aggressive mood too.

A good leader inspires people, and brings out the best from them people. A good team leader builds good teams that completes their goal.

[disha]

I do not understand why the dhoti shivering (except Dilbu should always dhoti shiver ...)!!

In past 2 days:

1. NaMo takes a selfie with lotus and it becomes one of the largest retweets.

2. Gives a 20 min. impromptu press conference and going against maa-beta sarkar and becomes the largest news on *the* election day!

3. CongIs gleefully jump up like a bunch of baboons, files complains, EC overreacts and joins CongIs and CongIs are backpedaling furiously

4. Gujju bolis does yawn and files FIR and does another yawn and says that the impromptu conference was done outside of restricted zone so no cognizable case, showing up EC as bunch of baboons err ConGis.

5. Some in BRF go into full-fledged dhoti-shivering.

6. Modi gives interview and is candid and honest and says nothing wrong in a beti fighting for her mai-bhai and inspite of pink-chaddi's vicious and vituperous campaign Namo will not say anything against her.

7. Prasaar Bharati to *not* show Modi in good light - cuts this (and other) sections out.

8. News leak out, becomes a grist and just in front of a pack of baboons err Journos, pink-chaddi opens her mouth and inserts foot. Shows Modi in even better light and herself and bet-Maa-damaad-beti (RSVP) in a very very bad light. For what? For being told pink-chaddi is her own mom's daughter?

9. Prasaar bharti CEO admits in *writing* that he sucks his own thumb only and the rest is decided by the young and dynamic Manish Tiwari who goes to the hospital for heart troubles. Prasaar bharti CEO admits that he is sucking thumb only. Showing up the whole bunch of maa-beta sarkar as bunch of baboons err CongIs

10. And we are left here dhoti-shivering only.

Moi dhoti is shivering only in exhilaration. Such an amazing take down of the RSVP never done in history ... and no BRF is *NOT* ahead of curve - it is *BEHIND* curve., just look at the crowds Sonia Amma got in Telangana and SA and look at the love shown to NaMo in Vizag on heavy downpour.

And there is 14 more days to go for the D-Day and moi dhoti is in full-shiver mode - it will be exhilarating to watch the take down of baboons err Congress.

[vivek.rao]

I think Modi is angry with PAPPINI and her immature behavior. The worthless SCUM from DIEnasty who did not even pass 10th grade, drunkard, bipolar, never spent a day working in life, made most of money by looting, no clue about India and talking like a super achiever.

lets finish off the DIEnasty

[Kati]

Gandhi always dreamed of RamaRajya. INR notes should have Sri Rama Pattabhishekam pics.

INR notes should have pix of Subhash Bose, the true liberator of India whose Azad Hind Fauj made sepoys disloyal to the Raj. BJP will get an immediate hike of 10 percent in vote share in Bengal if it does this.

That single act will catapult BJP into power in West Bengal. It will have 10000000000000% emotional value in the state.

How do we get this message to the folks who make the decision in BJP ?

[Vamsee]

Put the idea on twitter and send it to NAMo

[SandeepA]

That will open a pandora's box of demands for everyone from Ambedkar to Nehru to Periyar to Azad to Chisti and Hazrat Nizamuddin to get onto currency notes. I can only take so many in my wallet

[pankajs]

Then lock up all available space in one shot and claim the credit for ever.

[SRoy]

Currencies of many countries to have many historical figures on notes and coins.

Am not on twitter . Can somebody send it ?

Actually NAMO is ahead of the curve - he is on the ball. What we are witnessing is one of the finest politicians ANYWHERE in the world and can give a run to anyone. Indians are blessed to be able to vote for such a great person and every Indian should vote for NAMO.

Voting day April 9, NAMO files for nomination in Vadodra, the controversy about Jashodaben comes up and NAMO is in the news everywhere - he sucked up the political oxygen and came out a winner.
Voting day April 24, NAMO files for nomination in Varanasi, the massive road show and political support, which would be envied by any politician in the world, sucks up the political oxygen and comes out as true mass leader.
Voting day April 30, NAMO makes a selfie and gives a press conference right outside 100m from the polling station, the EC and Congress become a pansy and file an FIR. NAMO states he got an FIR from Congress not for brandishing a weapon, but a flower and again comes out as a winner.

What will happen on 7 May or 12 May? I can only wait as the other side doesn't know they're going to get hit by a TsuNAMO. This stuff beats all the TV shows and saas-bahu serials. We are getting to witness history.

[pankajs]

Saw a report where they had a layout of the polling booth and the surrounding area. The surprising thing is that they had erected a small <platform or something similar> for Modi/others to address the media outside the 100 m restricted zone a little to one side of the road. The moment the furor started Modi, the administration, the local EC and the police would have known that charge was baseless because it was delivered in an area specifically marked for this purpose keeping in mind the EC rules.

^^^It also explains why the EC hasn't commented in a couple of days now and election is coming to a close in 9 days. Even Congress has shut up because they know they look like fools.

[Prasad]

Well each denomination can have a different picture like the us dollar notes.

The BRF had so much dhoti shiver about Modiji will be jailed and disqualified.

But Shah and Modi measured 100m and stand at 101m to do the press conference.

Guys! l LETS GIVE THE MAN HIS DUE. He is too smart even for for BRF types. Don't take it as offense

MODI, THE ICEBERG

Some that are old enough to have lived through the Cold War would also have had the pleasure of reading the John le Carre classic, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. The Spy of the title is Sailor in the nursery rhyme from which it was adapted, with Rich Man, Poor Man, Beggar Man and Thief being the other words. The novel begins with Jim Prideaux who is a blown agent and quite appositely located in a boarding school as an ad hoc teacher. Prideaux comes to mind when trying to understand the core of Narendra Modi’s psyche, although in physical aspects, the two cannot be more different. The portion of Prideaux self-medicating a bullet wound in wet weather, stoic but inwardly raging against betrayal, is about as touching as any in the spy genre, and inches close to the portrayal of doomed love in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, another le Carre masterpiece.

Prideaux is an Oxford man but typically conceals it to get a teaching job, when its timely and opportunistic revelation would have made things easier. But Prideaux’s trade and training typically prevents him from making the disclosure, over and above the directive of the secret service to remain under cover. le Carre, though, hints, in the expert way of great writers, that Prideaux is a natural self-effacer. At any rate, after it all comes out, there is astonishment bordering on surprise that Jim Prideaux plays down his distinguished background, when the norm is to exaggerate.

Narendra Modi is also a multi-layered man. What he is at the centre of his being can be only guessed, a man of profound beliefs, fearsome integrity and granite will, but he sheaths himself in layers of protective armour, so much so that he is often not-so-quick to react. During the riots, he did not give in to those who expected and assumed his fraternity, and he pursued them once he consolidated and neutralized their incendiary potential. The 12 years of peace in Gujarat are a testimony to this. The mischief-makers never got to the real Modi; but sometimes, he got so hidden in himself that his haters in the Left, Centre, Right and in the media often wrested the advantage. This could be called the Jim Prideaux syndrome.

Take the allegation of the so-called Modi-Adani nexus. Since Modi is incorruptible, he has boldly encouraged industrialization in Gujarat, concerned only at timely and qualitative execution of projects at the agreed cost, in whose calculation, the requisite sections of government are transparently involved. People would not readily know that Modi is a great and compulsive delegator, in the full and glorious sense of the word, with decision-making being rigorously decentralized. Only an honest man and one powerfully seeped in integrity would turn out such a dedicated delegator. But politics being base politics, and with the leaders of the United Progressive Alliance desperate to divert attention from their own corruption and venality, the baseless allegations of Modi’s dodginess are making the headlines. The reality is quite another, and an unfortunate victim of Modi’s individualism.

Long before Modi became the Bharatiya Janata Party’s prime minister candidate, an official had interesting comments to make about the Gujarat chief minister. He said that Modi had no friends. No one could be said to be close to him, neither politicians nor industrialists. Amit Shah is variously suggested as proximate to Modi. But he is not, as far as anyone can tell, part of Modi’s private space. Modi’s private space cannot be more special than any workaholic’s can be, and beyond a point, he cannot be interesting company. His mind is elsewhere. From just one interaction in a different age, this writer figured it succinctly.

Consider the latest fracas with Priyanka Gandhi-Vadra, who strictly deserves no space as a person of merit, seriousness or indeed good breeding. She has gone ballistic to some alleged reference in Modi’s Doordarshan interview, which was the embodiment of good sense and maturity, but which turned out, as with most things referenced to Modi, to be complete untrue. Modi said something quite different, and to pointed questions of the Doordarshan anchor, refused to be anything but impeccably decent and understanding and even forgiving in his responses. Doordarshan cut out these bits, which is par for the course for the government-controlled media. But it advertised once again that Modi is a many-layered man, and nearly as enigmatic as Jim Prideaux.

In his core, Modi is correct, conservative and follows the rules. He has a thousand ideas roaming in his head any minute, but he executes them with the correct balance of promptitude and patience. He is solider than is readily apparent; he knows everything about a subject before he engages with it; and he can be impressive with details. He will be right on most things, but he will not reveal himself unless it becomes absolutely necessary. For this peculiar reticence, which sits oddly with his great communication and marketing skills, he has suffered. But all in all, you might say that the iceberg principle applies to him. At any time, just one-eighth of him is visible, and perhaps less, and his gravity and presence derives from the submerged rest.

He is, quite simply, the most extraordinary political leader of his generation.

You will still have 'secular' icons for the sickulars to demand like Khwaja Mohiuddin Chisti, Akbar the @#$!, Shah Jehan, Tipu Sultan and even Ghazni and Ghouri if push comes to shove! Best is to stick to Gandhi or go to Indian mythological figures (long shot)

[johneeG]

I think a proper tribute to these martyrs by the nation would be to honour them by placing their portraits as watermark on some of the currency notes. Say, 5(Bhagat Singh), 10(Chandrashekhar Azad), 20(Lala Lajpat Rai), 50(Ram Prasad Bismil), 100(Subhash Chandra Bose), 500(Bal Gangadhar Tilak), 1000(Mahatma Gandhi).

Disha saar,
a forum is a large place and filled with diverse people holding diverse views. At any given point, atleast someone from the forum will be proved right which allows any forum to claim to be 'ahead of the curve'. (Not talking about BRF, but in general... )

I do think there is too much shivering going on, perhaps due to experience in previous elections.

----
Muraliravi saar,
I think you are seriously underestimating the kongis and the anger against kongis. If the kongis could still get 110 on their own and limit NaMo to 190, then the kongis would have been in control completely. They would have easily managed to stop NaMo in someway. Only way NaMo can get to throne even at 190 is if kongis are at below 90. If kongis manage above 100, then and NaMo is below 200, then kongis will survive in someway or the other.

And you are seriously underestimating the anger against the kongis. If kongis can still get 110 despite all the problems, then it means they have done very well and NaMo is a huge fail. And lotus could have got 180 on the back of anger against kongis. One does not need NaMo for that.

And if kongis were still getting 110, then it means the kongis are still alive and kicking. And that means, Bianca would be able to add another 10 seats. They would have brought other celebs also who may have also added to the tally. But, all that is not happening because kons are below 70. At 70, Bianca is fighting in home ground. At 110, Bianca would have been touring the entire country and increased the tally to 10 more seats. If the kongis were at 110, then they would have added 20 more seats by hook or crook. But, all that is not happening because the kongis are below 70.

So, three factors are being underestimated:
a) kongis power if they manage above 100 and restrict NaMo below 200.
b) anger kongi rule in people.
c) TsuNaMo.

So, even if NaMo is only at 190, it is still required that kongis are below 90 for NaMo to get to throne.

And despite all this campaign, if NaMo is able to manage only 190, then its a serious fail. I think NaMo is adding 100 seats to lotus tally. I think lotus would have been at 160-180 and NaMo is adding 100 seats.

[yvijay]

You guys should check out Shivraj Chouhan tweets .He's on a roll. He's breathing fire left, right and center on family, pakis and EC. I find his tweets better than all the BJP leaders (probably some IAS coming up with them). BJP is truly blessed with good second ring leadership.

apologies to butt in..hammer and sickle? so are malloos [god's own land is full of misotheists]. why do you ask such silly questions?

[harbans]

The conference meetup was a 120 m 'walk' away, but not as a crow flies according to this:

[SaiK]

but you have to take the crow flies between two coordinates, to find the shortest route.. na?

[harbans]

Sai ji, it's the walk distance that is displayed, not the crow flying distance. This is good material now for Arnab to spend whole Saturday on..PS: That pool behind is 20 x 50m. Whatever..but real crappy laws we have.

apparently that's a rumour.

BJP is going in for the KILL!!

And Modi's decision to campaign in Amethi came after this. Which in other words mean "Bring it On".

"aao Dekhen Jara Kisme kitna hai dum".

[Gus]

modi does remind me a bit of kamraj in how a leader has to keep his family out consciously to avoid interference. kamraj kept his mom in the hut in his village and not in his CM residence in chennai. when asked, he said family is interference and that mom may not interfere but mom's relatives might come to chennai in the pretext of seeing mom and then ask for favors. such was the man's personal integrity. and that did not stop dmk from using the vilest words to denounce him, the cheap fellows they were.

[suryag]

NaMo should have stood in the rain and addressed the crowd. ofcourse, his health is important but stading in rain without umbrella would have notched up his popularity many points

[SaiK]

no.. no umbrella protection for him
