One of the best things happened to NaMo is RNS replacing Gadkari. Congress and MSM scored a self-goal by going after Gadkari. In that process they gave BJP a decisive leader in the form of Rajnath who threw his complete weight behind NaMo.

i'm beginning to think modi effect is like a network effect where the positive values of bandwagon support is based on modi's utility value now - commerce and economics improvement.. and the negative of kangrez is because they are snobbish now, because heck with commerce... just look at our TFTA culture and see our color of the skins. don't we look attractive enough to voters? people have jumped from being tfta to sdre bandwagon. to that, brf contribution on the network should be patted.

but caveat for modi is -- show one sign of bad performance.. then utility of bandwagon goes south.. and that is where kangrez will attack. and they have a huge followers of jobless corruption folks who thinks corruption fetches more money than being honest.

we rank so low on any stats.. pliss to note.

Yup Modi's team has to be careful . NaMo anyway never takes things for granted. But his team may begin to and loose connect. Rewari is indeed a heartwarming success. But there is too much intervening time till elections to continue to feel good about it.

BTW twitter is still trending #FaujiwithNaMo since morning - eNrega workers are a hopeless lot today.

Lots on twitter reporting conversations with cabbies, autodrivers, chaiwalas and paanwalas (the real variety) all saying that this time namo will come to power... tall order I know but such belief becoming widespread is the first step to its becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy... or so I hope. Only.

After Namo becomes PM, I think he should not go to the US until they apologize and invite him to the US. Unilatieral visit should not happen.

should ignore religion and focus on the cores.. religion should be delinked from politics, jobs and education.. make it sanctimonious and separated from governance. i would like separation of religious communities living in distance too if that matters... especially come to an agreement that joint hindu-muslim history sites that is causing issues must be put behind core interests.. and ensure long term, both religions here agree on such sites to be relocated or what not.

if we delink religion from jobs, and focus on merits.. then rest will follow through.

the same Rajnath in 2009 was a vacillating idiot.

no, the decision to bring Modi up was probably in the works even while Gadkari was President. The Maharashtra BJP has been pro-Modi since the beginning. and Gadkari was no different.

Being in Congress(I) or supporting Congress(I) is by default anti-India and anti-national.

Check on "Hyderabad Goli" during Emergency. One of the most "benign" form of "legal" torture. Invented by Cong(I).

All the Congress(I) supporters should be made to apologize for that first.

One of the idea of dynasty is that people who do not believe in dynasty or their ideas *will* be subjected to some form or other of physical or emotional torture. You already know the current list.

So any supporters of dynasty do support physical and emotional torture. Period.

I watched NaMos speech live. Wanted to see how he connects to ex-servicemen.

The entire MSM missed the one singular point he raised (singular point regarding terrrorism and human rights - added later for clarity): Certain countries will use and are using human rights as a tool to selectively pursue their self-serving colonial interests.

And forumite's please note -

1. In 2004/2005 Modi did *not* bring any new anti-conversion laws in place.

2. Modi ensured the 1965 religious conversion act to be implemented as ordained.

This put paid to all the conversion/maovadi activities happening in South Gujarat.

As Modi repeatedly likes to talk about skill development as a major employment generation platform and the need to improve the quality of education (at all levels, primary, secondary, tertiary), I hope he makes that as a national mission.

If Modi can ensure some reform in the AMU/JNU/etc campuses that would be a yeoman's service to the nation. He should keep off wasting time in IIMs/IITs and work in the humanities/social-studies departments, since IMHO, they produce more bile against Bharat than any other set of government paid institutions.

If NM can ensure rollback of Article 370, that would be as great or even greater service to Bharat than POK-II. These are the kind of tectonic steps, this person can take, since he has demonstrated a world view which can envision a Bharat that brings good life from Atak-to-Katak.

The idea of collecting a little steel from every village to build a statue of Sardar Patel is excellent. This is a great opportunity for BJP cadres to involve entire villages in the effort. There will be hold outs and that is good too--we need to know who they are.

IMHO, under the national security tab, 1st priority should be fencing the border with bangladesh (i mean really good electric fence with 30 ft high fence, double layered with clean motorable road for the BSF along it and yes they should fence riverine areas also, quite easy with technology these days within 2 years. Then start deporting all bangladeshis already in indian territory).

Modi debates Ayodhya with Deobandis in closed-door meet

Since long Narendra Modi has been meeting Muslim leaders and interacting with them in private.

According to sources in Gandhinagar, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi met a range of Muslim leaders including Deobandis in the last week of Ramzan. In an off-the-record conversation, a Muslim community leader from Ahmedabad said that an important Islamic scholar and a member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board had a 90-minute discussion with Modi during the Islamic holy month.

The source said, “To the surprise of visiting Islamic scholars from Uttar Pradesh, Modi assured them that Ayodhya is not the issue in the coming elections.”

The source claimed that Modi gave three reasons for this while debating the controversial issue of Hindu nationalists’ demand to build a Ram temple where the Babri mosque once stood.

Modi reportedly said that if former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government in its six-year-term could not solve the issue, then why are the Muslims worried now? He also quoted the UP court judgement in the matter and said the issue is now before the Supreme Court.

Modi also pointed out that more than 50 per cent of the voters were born after 1989 -- when the Babri mosque-Ram temple movement took shape -- and these young voters do not connect much with the issue.

The sources also said that Modi defended his controversial remark in an interview to Reuters, to the visiting Muslims.

In the interview, when asked if he had any regrets over the 2002 Gujarat riots, he had said, "Even If I am in the back seat of a car and a puppy (kutte ka bachcha) comes under the wheels, isn't it painful? It is. Whether I am a chief minister or not, I am a human being -- I will be sad if something bad happens anywhere.”

Modi told the Muslim group that he wanted to say ‘chinti’ (ant) but the interviewers (the news agency's reporters) may not have understood the Hindi word, so he used the “puppy” analogy.

Since long, Modi has been meeting Muslim leaders and interacting with them in private.

A Muslim community leader based in Ahmedabad says that there is tremendous curiosity among the Muslim youth to know Modi.

BJP delegation to request President for beefing up Modi's security

Bharatiya Janata Party’s prime ministerial candidate and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s security during the Lok Sabha poll campaigns is the utmost concern for the party top leadership.

A BJP delegation will approach President Pranab Mukherjee to direct the government to
designate senior security experts as nodal responsible officers for a special security coordination for Modi.

This includes doubling the number of Black Cat commandos, even though Modi has the National Security Guard cover. This also includes electronic sweeping of his places of public meetings and rallies during the polls.

Senior BJP leaders, who are familiar with the blue book drill on VVIP security, have expressed apprehensions with revelations that arrested terrorists Yasin Bhatkal and Abdul Karim Tunda Tunda mentioned Modi as "Machli 5" in their coded transcript messages.

The delegation is likely to represent to the President during the next week and seek his direction to the Union Home secretary and to the director of the Intelligence Bureau to hold regular coordination meetings and alert state governments.

The BJP is also to indicate its liaisoning officer with the Union home ministry for special protections and the ensuring safety and security for Modi and other top leaders of the party.

Why LohPurush didn't attend BJP's PB meeting?
How Advani camp’s last hope of stalling Modi’s anointment fizzled out

NEW DELHI: As his meeting with L K Advani ended on Friday afternoon, BJP president Rajnath Singh quietly told the veteran leader that the decision to name Narendra Modi as the party's prime ministerial candidate could not be put off.

"Ab baat jahan pahunch gayi hai, wahan se wapas jaana sambhav nahin hai" (the matter has now reached a point from which there can be no going back), Rajnath told the sulking stalwart on Friday afternoon, according to BJP sources.

The blunt "no" — although couched in polite and deferential Hindi — snuffed out Advani camp's last hope that fear of the veteran's public annoyance would lead the BJP to back off from its plan to declare Modi its prime ministerial choice for 2014.

Rajnath had reached Advani's sprawling Prithviraj Road bungalow as part of a last-ditch effort to get the former deputy PM relent on his opposition to Modi's projection as PM candidate. Significantly, the talks were held against the backdrop of the Advani camp's assessment that RSS and BJP may agree to defer the decision in exchange of an assurance that the former deputy PM would support Gujarat CM's candidature after state polls scheduled for October-November.

The assessment — believed to be the result of the extravagantly optimistic interpretation of a few "peace makers" — came as a shocker to BJP and RSS leadership who lost no time to disabuse the intermediaries of the viability of the proposal.

RSS number 2 Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi is learnt to have reacted to the truce proposal by citing Advani's oft-quoted view that the RSS has no business getting into the micro-management of BJP affairs. Rajnath also dismissed the idea. But while the intermediaries swiftly aborted their mediation bid, the veteran did not give up the hope yet, perhaps also because the mediators could not marshal the courage to admit to their estimates had gone wrong.

That Rajnath's refusal to back down surprised Advani is, according to sources, borne out by his letter where he criticized the BJP chief.

Advani seemed to have made another miscalculation. He mistakenly believed that former party president Nitin Gadkari and senior leader Ananth Kumar would support him at the meeting of the parliamentary board. The addition of Gadkari and Ananth Kumar to Sushma Swaraj and Murli Manohar Joshi and Advani himself would have taken the number of the pro-deferment faction to almost half of the 11-member parliamentary board, excluding the ailing Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

A near-vertical split would have made it difficult for the BJP leadership to press ahead with its plan for an early decision on Modi. This assessment may have led Advani to briefly consider attending the meeting of the parliamentary board.

This was not to be. Gadkari had indeed turned sympathetic to Advani: a twist which is cited to emphasize the acuity of the saying that there are no permanent friends or foes in politics. But Advani was naive to believe Gadkari would defy the RSS. The Nagpur-based leader, who owes his prominence on the national scale to RSS chief Mohanrao Bhagwat, takes pride in his "true swayamsewak" credentials.

Ananth Kumar had appeared openly aligned with Advani and Swaraj till recently. But he had since eased himself into the role of a "peacemaker" with a dexterity that remains the subject of banter in the party :rotfl: : a change which escaped the attention of Advani's tacticians.

In the event, Joshi also decided to drop the ante while Swaraj limited herself to asserting her right to express her point of view while stressing that she would not cross the line that had been drawn.

Her argument about timing not being ripe for the crucial announcement was countered by Arun Jaitley, Venkaiah Naidu and Thawarchand Gehlot. Jaitley pointed to the groundswell for Modi among ranks, while Venkaiah said that the party was losing time. Gehlot stressed that the decision, as communicated by Rajnath, should be followed by everybody.


The troika actually was acting out of a script which the RSS and BJP leadership had prepared, anticipating that the tenacious resistance to Modi will not wilt in the face of show of numbers.

The choreography was also evident from the concerted manner in which all the spokespersons emphasized their respect for Advani and recalled his role in building the party into the force while asserting the supremacy of the majority view.

On Saturday, many leaders called on Advani. But the show of respect for the elderly could not mask the fact that his plan had gone horribly wrong and that the patriarch could be headed for isolation.

Even as the party leaders professed their respect for the Advani, there was apprehension of what the former deputy PM could post on his blog — a platform that he had earlier used to express his disappointment with the style of functioning of BJP leadership — on Sunday.

Modi meets Advani at Ram Jethmalani’s birthday party

Image

After completing his Rewari rally, Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi reached Delhi, where he met party president Shri Rajnath Singh and senior leader Shri Murli Manohar Joshi.

Modi also attended suspended BJP Rajya Sabha MP Shri Ram Jethmalani(90)’s birthday party where Shri Lal Krishna Advani was also present. Shri Modi met Shri Advani on this occasion.

Modi bent down before Advani in a sign of respect and then took his seat close by with Jethmalani in the middle. Advani and Modi exchanged pleasantries but hardly talked to each other.

Rewind to last year as tv studio anchor buffoons (and the likes of P chidambaram) loudly proclaimed that since namo failed to cross the 2/3rd mark, his magic has started failing in Guj.

Here's another instance of the paidmedia setting standards and thresholds for modi magic really works or not - starting with the delhi polls.

Can Modi magic work in Delhi?
Narendra Modi has been riding a wave since he was named chairman of the BJP's election campaign committee in June 2013 and the party's prime ministerial candidate for 2014 on Friday. It will be somewhat more difficult to prove whether he is also the BJP's winning mascot. Among Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh that will go to polls later this year, Modi's biggest test will be to upset the Congress government of Sheila Dikshit in Delhi. That will show whether the Modi magic really works.

This rule will never happen for various reasons, but it needs to be there. The only time not to have it is one is able to bring about a truly secular Government and we cannot do that either. The Indian Govt is full of minority appeasement.

Hari ji,

I agree it is paid media with very low standards. But i do feel his biggest test is upsetting sheila in delhi. Only that will prove he has the ability to make gains in UP and other places where BJP has been out of power for a while and of course dislodge the upa at the center. Delhi BJP is pretty much in shambles just like BJP in UP, Jharkhand, Haryana, Karnataka and many other places which are key gateways for modi to power. While they will retain MP, Chat due to good CM's and will dislodge Ashok gehlot in rajasthan again due to vasundhara. To prove that modi himself is a winner, winning delhi is a must.

Well, ok. That idea might be a non-starter. But there needs to be some strategy to increase the number of seats contested - by BJP alone, that is, without allies. IMHO, of course.

Recently on the chindu ( I linked that in the sickularsim thread ) about the stats of various religions and their economic state. muslims are as close as hindus, only christians and sikhs are above average in terms of pocket money and economic stability.

So, focus area would be to achieve these targets what sikhs have achieved for hindus. that way you are automatically energizing the crowd to achieve what you are intending to achieve. regulations and laws are not needed, and never works on such matter.

Just make it happen on focusing on the enabling processes.
- common civil code
- eradication of caste system from governance and policies - edu/jobs etc [abolish quota system]
- encourage merit society
- large push to infrastructure and growth
- move over to economic and technology independence from this globalization mantra - gonna burst soon
- ... i don't need to tell these

If there are any deviant (pro-India) congies, BJP should try and lure them over to her side. This is one way of expanding the number of seats contested. The success rate has to be very high, when you contest 340 seats only, and want to convert that into an election victory - with or without allies.
This is a very good question.

In earlier days, these supposedly nationalist politicians had to join congress for they claimed there was no alternative. But BJP has shown an alternative way in 1998.

Assuming majority of these people thought ABV/LKA BJP was not nationalistic enough and the congress of 1990s was not anti-national enough to make the switch, should rethink this equation for 2014 election.

So the question is, how many congress leaders think Congress high-command is anti-national and think NM's BJP is nationalistic enough?

I have very little hope of such a migration. The narrative of (sic) secular idea is too deep in a good section of the nation. And this fort is cracking, thanks to overt anti-Hindu behavior of termite queendom.

That is the reason why the paid-media and self-styles intellectuals are creating so much noise against NM as divisive.

Firstly BJP should stand for anti-corruption policies in their election manifesto.. just like vajpayee said about nuclear test, similarly, tell the world that bjp is going to bust the criminals and illegals bribery network out of india... they should start from RE sector. list out all they would do per year basis, first year.. second year ,... and people can expect what they say on per year basis.

Then, they can go an check out how many kangrez people who like this? take a count if they are anti-india or pro.
