Maya/Laloo/Mulyam kind of people are going to die. What is your vision og Governance?

We have to take it to east,NE and even J&K, South too.

The state assembly elections will be the true test of it. BJP must not make the same mistake they made in the 90s by throwing away UP. Middle India should be made into an impenetrable BJP fortress. Then consolidate gains in Maharashtra and Karnataka - these two states have all the ingredients to be part of core BJP bastion. For all this to work, BJP needs strong leaders at the state level. Secondly, BJP needs to start contesting all elections right from Panchayat level to increase the cadre base, and remain visible.

Despite the humiliating defeat, Congress remains a force to reckon with. They have party cadres and offices in every nook and corner of the country. The vote share even in BJP strongholds shows that the threat cannot be neglected. Congress needs to be put out. The dienasty must be kept away from the realms of power forever.

While it is good that people trusted Modi and voted for development, hopes will turn to anger and disenchantment if they do not see results. And if visible results aren't shown, people can turn fickle and vote on caste and other considerations given the nature of the caste based parties. This will be the challenge for modi and bjp. Not only do but do visibly.

So friends as usual the whole of media tries to cover-up and gloss over how Antonia Maino COMMANDED "NO" TO RAHUL WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TO ANSWER AND TALK TO REPORTERS.

Just fast forward to 2:56 minutes and see the whole thing:

Rajat Sharma the gutsy fellow of INDIA TV was the only one to replay the scene and explain to the audience. Folks watch as much as INDIA TV as possible.

I was curious about this seat ever since I saw the news of so many dummy candidates put up by the wiley Jogi. The shrewd man almost succeeded. Wafer thin margin, this.

Yeah I was quite disappointed that he was letting turdeep desai ask him hostile questions and not hit back. I hope he and his 52 crore bunglow are also investigated.

They stood and all lost by huge margins. In most cases BJP/SS candidates got more votes than the next 2 put together. Kind of explains the voter roll complaints, since all NDA voters were trying to vote.

Gus · Post by **Gus** » 17 May 2014 03:34

dmdk loses badly. serves them right for dilly dallying.

if these people have come together much before, campaigned together and ensured transfer of votes between PMK and MDMK for ex, they could have snagged some seats.

despite the loss, this election is still a turning point, away from two party politics in TN.

IndraD · Post by **IndraD** » 17 May 2014 03:45

elections lay five critical management lessons on how to succeed.

These are:

1.Positioning For any company or endeavour to succeed, it has to offer to the people something new, something that will catch their eye and something that they need. Here, Narendra Modi was already a known factor, but the way he repackaged himself and sold himself to the masses in a brand new package which promised them "better days ahead". Considering the way things have been over the last 10 years, who wouldn't buy that line?

2. Social media management
This election wasn't fought on the grounds, but on the social media. As part of his campaign policy, he got his party's top leaders to get on to Facebook and Twitter and get in touch with the younger generation. In fact, his social media management went to such heights that an India Today survey found that the internet had become saffron. As they say, he who gets the social media right, gets the cake.

3. Timing
Modi began his campaign at a time when the common man was feeling the pinch in his wallet and the bite of his ragged shoe which he had run so thin that he could count the cobblestones under his shoe-covered feet. The ad campaigns and the promotional activities that Modi undertook - Chai pe charcha, 3D hologram speeches - connected him to more people than the Congress could ever dream of. By the time the electoral campaigning ended, Modi is said to have met a whopping 234 million voters out of a total 814 million voters.

On Facebook, he had more than 13 million likes and on Twitter, he had more than 3.9 million followers.

4. Communication Strategy
With a three-month course in PR and image management backed by experts from a PR agency, Modi created some of the most resounding punchlines to back his campaign. Punchlines such as "Janta maaf nahi karegi" and "Ab ki baar Modi sarkaar" caught the imagination of the voters. The two slogans had two different targets. The first slogan was aimed at the oppressed common man who was finding it difficult to make both ends meet with the ever-rising inflation. The second was aimed at the younger generation, a generation of nearly 10 million first-time voters who had got tired of hearing about scams, scandals and what not.

5. SWOT: Usage of Strength/Weakness/Opportunity/Threat
There's nothing like a missed opportunity. Either you get the opportunity and dance on it, or you lose it forever. With the Congress lackadaisical governance at the Centre, Modi saw the opportunity coming his way a long time back and he made the required preparations for it. The Congress went on making blunders while Modi kept on learning from their mistakes and using their mistakes to his and his party's benefit.

The rest, as they say, is history

BTW Gen. VK Singh won with 567,260 votes *more* than Raj Babbar. His margin is almost as big as NaMo got in Vadodara

I hope to see him in Cabinet.
