Instead of thinking about adversaries, how about considering what the people expect from BJP? If* BSY is corrupt, why should he be back?

* If he is not corrupt, of course he should be welcomed to BJP.

Exactly!!!.

But this bhains will answer

You see accusing someone of corruption in BJP has become a case of medieval style accusation of infidelity/adultery. There is no way of proving innocence unless one takes to lifetime of penance and virtually quits their station in life. While the real adulterers are making merry despite getting caught repeatedly. The take of BJP should be this, unless courts conclusively prove and sentence the said leader there is no need to kick them out of the party or to ask them to abjure all organizational posts. Stepping down from government posts can be decided on a case by case basis.

I agree with everything you wrote. Just accusations should not be sufficient.

I guess the ultimate objective should be to get Modi in PM chair using sam-dam-danda-bheda as required. If you are out of power for decades largely because of your high-flatulent IEDology, you smell like Advani in front of Madam ji and feel like Yudhishthir in front of Shakuni. Once Modi is in kursi, he should be able to change the rules of the game. If you want to clean the gutter, you should be ready to get dirty, at least a little bit and at least for some time.

^^ That too sounds like a decent point. My point is that replacing one set of corrupt people by another is not a good strategy. If BJP too fields corrupt people then it is hardly different from the party that was involved in Bofors*. munna has pointed that mere accusations should not be sufficient. I agree.

* One could argue that (p-sec and corrupt politician) is worse than (non-p-sec and corrupt politician). That too is a fine point, although it leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Abhshek ji, I guess the difference is that if Modi comes to power, we are more or less assured that the cabinet (at least the BJP contingent) will be sparklingly clean. Also, Modi will (hopefully) fanatically try to cleanse the system (through electoral, bureaucratic, judicial, media reforms). The corrupt if any will remain at the local levels, that too temporarily (till Modi consolidates his hold). In comparison, under UPA, we can expect corruption (and other paralyzing national ailments) to reach right at the PM's doorstep. (Imagine kali-dadhi pappu or safed-lungi chiddu as PM!)

But for Modi to reach that game-changer's position, he first needs to win the game, the rules of which have been laid out by the corrupt. These rules would not permit an 'always Yudhisthir' person to survive, much less succeed in the electoral fray.

Thus, the first step is for Modi to reach the pinnacle. IMVHO.

I think bahuguna is right in the sense, rebuilding the temple et al should not necessarily be under modi control, but at the same time I also feel, that temple management and constructions should be de-linked from gov services to more ASI services, plus additional public-ngo-gov-combined design project. We need to take a holistic solutions keeping future in mind.

Just think about Adi shankara et al, and how they are attributed to the temple. We don't our future gen to think about Modi and Bahuguna on the same lines of Adi shankara, and it is a disgrace & disrespect from that angle alone. We need to engage engineers and architect on this., providing solution not just civil engineering aspect alone, but catering future interest, more public coming to the spot, destruction of natural sources, etc.

A snippet in realtion to BSY and BJP etc.

Whitebeard effect

....

The RSS’ post-assembly poll survey had after all concluded that, unlike the line accepted in Delhi of a pro-Congress, anti-BJP wave sweeping aside the saffronists, it was actually the splintered Lingayat vote that left them wrecked and in a shambles across north Karnataka and the coast, where they had once had it all locked down to the last pracharak.

Move BSY back onto the BJP chessboard and Karnataka could be back in the game for the BJP. The Congress, thwarted, deprived of its unacknowledged pawn. The official line from the BJP, of course – a last ditch attempt to derail the homecoming, scripted by BSY bete noire Ananth Kumar - is that since it was BSY who quit, it must be BSY who makes the announcement that he wants to return to the party. We shall see how that plays out.

But, BSY’s return to saffron mamma will of course put paid to any thumping of chests by the Congress, which won 121 seats, when it should have won over 150, and has been tasked by Delhi to win 20 of the 28 parliamentary seats during Lok Sabha polls.

At this critical juncture without much to show on the board, it looks unlikely to replicate its assembly polls success in parliamentary elections.

Clearly, the gloves are still on. Its the honeymoon period. But the Congress under Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is fighting a number of fires,. Meeting sky-high expectations of a people for clean government is only one challenge. The slow pace in delivering the city of Bengaluru from the BJP’s scam-ridden ministries, is the other.

The battle, made vastly more difficult by the fact that despite everyone giving the smart administrator .... every chance to succeed, the Congress’ hydra-headed monster of more generals than foot soldiers all snapping at each other, is already in full play.

.......
While D.K. Shivakumar is the most obvious of the dissenters, there are at least four other camps – one, some say led by KPCC chief G Parameswar, uneasy like the others at how their party has been seemingly hijacked by an outsider, a non-Congressman who has handed the party into the hands of a trusted coterie from the old Janata Parivar. A tag and a charge, that Siddaramaiah has stoutly rejected.

......
Siddaramaiah’s single-minded focus in the last few weeks has been to ensure that all Karnataka’s non-performing assets are tapped, wasteful expenditure plugged and his July 12 budget, is not a deficit budget but one that generates revenue, which he can re-distribute as largesse to consolidate his core voter – non-Vokkaliga, non-Lingayat, the backwards, the Dalits, the minorities.
Long shot? Perhaps. Just can’t see Modi trembling yet.

So everything from now on is for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

Once in power, one has the chance to reform and change things. What's the use condemning India to another 5 yrs of darkness a.k.a.

Why bring Pope here unnecessarily

If both Yuddhistra and Duryodhana were == , why even have Mahabharatam. People are frustrated with politicians and do not trust them. Modi shares this view, and has highlighted that point several times. Modi is a politician, and carries the characteristics of politicians. He is human, he has human flaws. I do not anoint him on pedestal and perform poojai, nor do I expect him to run on burning embers. Pull randomly 10 people and quiz them on why they support Modi, there is some insight to be drawn. 5 years of darkness is a false dilemma and rests on the threat that BJP would lose if not for BSY. Every seat counts, and sure BSY could get some seats. Either BJP has run out of ideas in KA, or BSY ran such a regime that there are no alternatives to him in BJP. If BJP is ready to compromise and truck with back-stabbers, then it not only sends the wrong message - chalti ka naam gaadi, it makes tough for other supporters and allies, intellectuals to continue support BJP.

T.V.R. Shenoy, a former editor of The Week news weekly who now contributes regularly to the Organiser, labelled the Gujarat chief minister a “polarising figure” and warned that “making him the star of the BJP could boomerang on the party”.

Asked if the column was sanctioned by the Sangh leadership, an insider said: “We try to balance all shades of opinions. Shenoy is a veteran writer. Pro-Modi pieces are often carried, too. But fundamentally, there is no confusion in the RSS over Modi’s central projection. The leaders figured out that there is no other option. The stories of differences within the RSS are speculative, make no mistake.”

In a column titled “What kind of government you want?” Shenoy —considered to be an integral part of L.K. Advani’s inner circle of thinkers and opinion-moulders —wrote that the Nitish Kumar-Modi “battle” was “for nothing less than the Prime Ministership of India”.

“Both Modi and Nitish believe —probably correctly — that they are each other’s most formidable rivals for the post, and are positioning themselves accordingly,” contended Shenoy.

Shenoy was a catalyst in splitting the Samajwadi Party’s alliance with the BSP in Uttar Pradesh in 1995 and bringing the BSP and the BJP together. He befriended the BSP founder, the late Kanshi Ram, and convinced him about the BJP’s willingess to install his protégé, Mayawati, as chief minister in place of Mulayam Singh Yadav.

Kanshi Ram shed his ideological hang-ups about the BJP and the pact was finalised between him and Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee at a family event of the Shenoys in southern India.{some one had asked what's the proof of this Shenoy fellow being a SC.}

In the article, Shenoy said Modi’s position was “more direct and arguably more democratic” because his belief was the BJP stood the “best chance” of forming the next government only by winning a maximum number of seats on its own. “Maximum” for Shenoy was “say, 200 seats”.

He, however, cautioned there were risks inherent in this strategy. “First, Modi is a polarising figure, and making him the star of the BJP could boomerang on the party,” said Shenoy.

His second argument was Modi was the first state leader from a non-Hindi speaking state to pitch for leadership of the Hindi heartland. Insinuating that such an objective could be cheeky, the writer noted: “This is something that even Sardar Patel and Morarji Desai never attempted, although it goes without saying that those were different times.”

Nitish, claimed Shenoy, adopted a “more shadowy path” by reverting to the 1990s’ model.

What is the model? It “does not inform the voter who was the PM candidate” and furthermore, “gloried in keeping out the largest party in the Lok Sabha”.

Shenoy claimed that in 1989, the Congress won 197 seats and was well ahead of the Janata Dal that won 143 seats.

“But V.P. Singh became the PM by playing on the fears of both the BJP and the Left Front” and created an “idiotic situation” where three parties/formations (namely, the Congress, BJP and the Left) collectively had 334 seats in the Lok Sabha but did not sit in the Union cabinet.

“Small wonder that the ninth Lok Sabha lasted just over 15 months!” exclaimed Shenoy.

In 1989, Rajiv Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, himself refused to stake claim to form the government despite being the single largest party, after which V.P. Singh’s coalition exertions kicked in.

Shenoy said: “Nitish Kumar now wants the voter to believe that this model of governance shall succeed despite evidence to the contrary. And his weapon of choice might justly be called the 21st century version of the East India Company.”

The East India Company is Shenoy’s metaphor for a party bereft of “ideological purity” and willing to consort with friends wherever it seeks them, be it the BJP in 1989 or the Congress in 1996 (that propped up the United Front coalition). “Does this sound like a government that can lead India?” he asked.

Shenoy excluded a third player — Rahul Gandhi — from the scenarios he sketched. “Rahul Gandhi has been given chance after chance, and (he) failed each time,” he declared.

In his brief speech, Advani addressed Modi as a yashashvi (very successful) and lokapriya (popular) leader. He also recalled how late Chikhalia made it a point to accompany him to Somnath during his visits to the temple town. Chikhalia was elected MP from Junagadh for four times.

Modi also addressed Advani as adarniya (respected) while praising Chikhalia for always working to make the party organisation strong.

A strong case can be made that Advani, SS, Ananth Kumar etc. are the back stabbers for screwing a popular BJP leader royally.

When the Karnataka Lokayukta charged BSY, the LKA's of BJP made a case about moralities. However, when the court threw away the Lokayukta charges, they kept mum to surprise of many. Obviously, BSY was forced to resign from CM'ship for reasons more than moralities.

This group of individuals converted BJP from an ideological political party to just an another political party.

BSY did not backstab the party, it was party that backstabbed him. I think the so called intellectuals are again getting it wrong, just like Goa. The central leadership of the party had it easy for far too long and destroyed political careers in connivance with other players. The list of such folks is long and almost tragic. One of the reasons why Modi was able to defeat entrenched 'Patriarch' lobby was because all the mass leaders took lesson from Yeddy fiasco. If he could be singled out and humiliated in this fashion despite being the architect of the party in the South, what chance did they stand.

Yeddy's fate sealed the fate of Loh purush in Goa. His return will enthuse cadres and supporters, he has been a significant contributor to the party.

Twitter blitz to go regional

AFTER his official Twitter account, Narendra Modi’s media managers are now setting up Twitter accounts for regional users in states like Assam, Orissa, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra and Punjab. It is learnt that within a few weeks, these regional Twitter accounts will start reflecting the concerns of the target areas and local workers on the ground will be tasked to popularise them.

Is Shivraj Modi's new foe?
Posted by: Shubham Ghosh
Updated: Tuesday, July 2, 2013, 9:45 [IST] Bhopal, July 2:

After the Congress, and NDA ally Shiv Sena, it seems Gujarat Chief Minister Narendrta Modi is drawing flak from his own party. The suspicion grew strong after Modi's Madhya Pradesh counterpart Shivraj Singh Chouhan tweeted on Monday that "apart from rescuing pilgrims from MP, our rescue teams have rescued 1,810 pilgrims from various states without any discrimination". The remark seemed to be a dig at Modi over reports that he had rescued 15,000 Gujaratis from the flood-ravaged Uttarakhand within a few hours. The Congress capitalised on the reports and slammed the Gujarat CM for his 'Rambo' act although the BJP kept denying that Modi had never made such claim. Is Shivraj Chouhan Modi's new foe? Observers felt that the Congress took up the issue to counter claims that its own government at the Centre had wanted to stop Modi's visit to the state, citing inconvenience caused to the relief operations as a result of visits made by the VIPs. That, however, did not stop its own vice-president Rahul Gandhi from visiting the state, albeit more than a week later. Modi also faced criticism from the Sena for allegedly creating division while rescuing people from Uttarakhand. Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray had expressed strong reservation over the idea of rescuing only Gujaratis. Chouhan further capitalised on this point by posting another tweet: "MP choppers rescued 292 pilgrims from MP and 247 from other states as well". The MP chief minister, who was praised by veteran BJP leader L K Advani recently and which was seen by many as a counter-strategy against Modi's progress, also said on Modi's offer to renovate the Kedarnath shrine that rescuing the alive people should be the foremost concern. Chouhan had sent a team under a senior minister to coordinate rescue operations from Haridwar.

The inference model used by our DDM is beyond non-sense, it is scandalous. DDM is "claiming" that NM rescued pilgrims on a discriminatory basis and subsequently using MP CM's words as an attack on NM. This is utter BS and insinuation on part of the DDM. Just goes on to show the level of reach INC has in the fourth pillar of our democracy.

NG absence in some meeting when NM was visiting Mumbai, was blown out of proportion. The dogs stopped barking only after NG turned up with unequivocal praise of NM in the book release function. Such is our DDM.

Narendra Modi to charge APCO for promoting them in India

Gandhinagar. Gujarat Chief Minister Mr. Narendra Modi has issued a notice to Public Relations firm APCO Worldwide to pay him for promoting them in India since 2009.
The amount Modi is seeking remains undisclosed for the moment, but the notice has been sent directly to APCO’s head office in Washington DC. This is the second surprising development in two days concerning APCO. Earlier on Sunday, APCO Worldwide had strongly denied that it works for Modi, a long held belief in India. As per APCO, they had a contract only with the state government to promote the Vibrant Gujarat summit and not with Mr. Narendra Modi.

Modi thinking if he could have sent APCO a bill for bigger amount. Speaking to the media, Mr. Modi’s personal aide said, “For the last few years, every positive news about Shri Narendra Modi has been attributed to APCO, even though they weren’t working for him as admitted by them. Through all this, APCO gained a lot of free publicity in India as the miracle company which can turn a common man into a PM candidate. Shouldn’t we charge them for all this publicity?”

“Mr. Modi got no credit for all his achievements from Indians as all his achievements were labeled a plant by APCO, now at least he should get some money for the same. For this amount of publicity, If APCO had hired someone like MS Dhoni, it would have cost them nearly a hundred crores plus the position of Vice-President, at least Modi ji is not aiming for the VP post!” he went on to add.
APCO has declined to comment on this issue. A press release by APCO said that the issue is under consideration as they contemplate whether to pay Modi or not.

An industry expert speaking to Faking News said, “I think APCO should pay up whatever Modi is asking and move on. Every politician in India knows them by now thanks to Mr. Modi. Election season is coming and God knows that we have more than a handful of politicians in need of an image makeover. Rahul Gandhi alone will run through 6-7 images in the run up to the elections. They shouldn’t risk bad PR at this stage when such a huge market is at stake.”

While APCO may pay op, sources confirm that leading news channels and websites in India are concerned that they could be the next target.
“Narendra Modi may ask them to pay a part of their revenues as he’s been getting TRPs and traffic for them, as admitted by one of them recently,” an expert explained the fears of media organizations.
