Hain-ji, if AS spends a few days and doesn't ask for bail (keeping the greater interest in mind) in jail then it is good for BJP. Then one can bring up the slap on the wrist treatment to Masood and Owaisi
for much deplorable hate speech. Isn't it? The situation can then make some more Hindus angry. It all depends whether we see the glass half empty or half full.

Somethings I wish were true in my school going days:

Excerpts I love from From Education Section:

We will explore ways to reduce the daily burden of carrying books to school for children, which
would also entail use of technology for education as a mission mode project.

Establish a national E-Library to empower school teachers and students.

Will raise the standard of education and research, so that Indian universities become at par with
the top global universities and find their place in the global league.

We will revisit the Apprenticeship Act to facilitate our youth to Earn while they Learn (My comment: Hopefully this will make people take internship work more seriously and will encourage mutually beneficial student and company participation.This will in turn ensure a better working force coming out of college)

Would set up Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) and virtual classrooms to make it convenient
for working class people and housewives to further their knowledge and qualifications

Oh, this hurry to lump it all and put it into a "white man's" box!!! And the brown-sahib's support for it!!!

Taking a model that a successful chief minister and the potential next prime minister of India has and quickly try to put into a western, white-man's, "been there, done that" box is despicable.

Nuclear prog - Study in detail India's nuclear doctrine, and revise and update it, to make it relevant to challenges of current times.

In our neighbourhood we will pursue friendly relations. However, where required we will not hesitate from taking strong stand and steps.

India shall remain a natural home for persecuted Hindus and they shall be welcome to seek refuge here.

North east - There will be special emphasis on massive infrastructure development, especially along the Line of Actual Control in Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim.

Practical manifesto. Yes, some will come under the influence of state governments and if there are any congress or "Sicular" states, I would expect them to try and put a spanner in the works. But clear articulation of what is to be done and I can see NaMo's imprint all over it: Energy, 100 cities, railways, defense manufacturing, health assurance etc etc. Good work!

Special kudos: zero tolerance to terrorism and Bharat being the natural refuge for all Hindus.

"India shall remain a natural home for persecuted Hindus and they shall be welcome to seek refuge here"

Holy sh!t, is that for real? It has forever been my dream for India to have a Israel like zionist movement (with regard to refuge for Hindus). I hope to see train loads of Hindus from porkistan and bongladesh settle in after proper verification (hopefully in Kashmir and the North East).

The states rights mention in the manifesto is a slap in the face of the turds who claimed Modi's rise was a threat to federalism. If anything, this manifesto attempts to dismantle the unitary system (in spirit) that exists now, where power flows top down, with the center hampering or handing out patronage to states.

Overall, an excellent manifesto.

Rahul had left the same venue in the run-up to the December polls, embarrassed by the retreating visitors. Five months later, on Sunday, he opened his 19-minute speech with a cheerful acknowledgement of the returning crowds, observing to party leaders and workers that the ground seemed to have shrunk in size. "Aapney yeh maidan chota kar diya hai aaj. Bahar bhi bahut log khade huey they,"(you have made this ground very small, even outside many people are standing.) exclaimed Rahul from the dais.

Someone on facebook is saying that for Coal Privatization NaMo should offer Coal Mantri post to Buddhadeb Bhatacharya. This way the thing would happen fast and also no allegation of corruption too.

Don't know how good the idea is, but this man I had lots of spats during jan' this year as he was khujliwal supporter. But now completely switched over to NaMo camp. He is not only putting up NaMo videos all over, but also seems how caring he is that no harm comes to NaMo govt.

I think a big big shift has happened now maybe 272 for BJP alone isn't such a faraway target.

In one shot, Modi would have peacefully and harmoniously 'annexed' all of Nepal only... all of 'em yindoos there can claim Indian citizenship (in spirit, if not in letter) soon.... Would be nice also to establish a few naval bases Diego garcia style in Mauritious and Fiji, BTW which have large yindoo populations....

Also, would be fun to see the more reasonable and grounded among assorted porkis and beedees ditching malsi and reverting to the true faith of their ancestors as they seek a better life... perhaps... perhaps...

P.S.
its sooo difficult not to get ahead of oneself in excitement only.... truly, fortunate are we to bear witness to the rebirth of mankind's oldest living civilisation....

Middle class in tight Narendra Modi embrace

NEW DELHI: If there is indeed anything like a Modi wave, Delhi's middle class seems to be riding high on it. It is not BJP but its prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi, who is being seen as the great white hope for the country amid skyrocketing prices and corruption. He is perceived as the one authoritative figure who will not only guarantee development but also ensure that India becomes a superpower.

Though it was clear as early as during Delhi's assembly elections that the Modi factor would play a huge role in April's national elections, Aam Aadmi Party's chaotic 49 days in government has been a factor in pushing some crucial votes into BJP's lap. Interestingly, people of different communities and class have vastly different opinions.

In the recent assembly elections, 28-year-old A Ganpati had voted for AAP. He had even convinced his family members and friends to vote for the new political outfit. "AAP's political ambition and its ideology prompted youngsters like me to participate in the political movement. However, their failure to govern and fulfil their promises has left us disappointed. I am not sure if I will vote this time. And if I do, my vote will go to BJP," he said.

There are others like him who despite having given AAP a chance a few months back are now looking for an experienced party to take over the reins in India. "In the last elections, people voted for change. Having seen what happened subsequently in Delhi, we want stability. If AAP did not have a majority, did it have to indulge in so much tamasha. They did some good but largely they indulged in nonsense and did not make the right noises about governance," said Sandeep Ghosh, a resident of Mayur Vihar Phase-I.

Such is the popularity of Modi in middle class localities that people are not even looking at their local candidates. K P Sharma, a resident of Saket which is a part of South Delhi constituency, said this election was about electing Modi as the next prime minister of India. "I do not know about Ramesh Bidhuri, the BJP candidate, and care the least about his image," he added.

The crores spent on Narendra Modi's image makeover are paying off. It is no longer BJP that is an alternative to AAP and Congress - it's Modi. Ask them what political party they will vote for and they say Modi. "Narendra Modi is capable of good governance. Nobody can even come near him when it comes to administrative capabilities. Congress is not a democratic party, so they cannot promise to uphold democratic processes in India. I will never vote for it again," said Atar Singh of Mayur Vihar Phase-III.

Sunil Behri, a government employee in RK Puram, said: "The UPA has taken steps such as increasing dearness allowance and working towards the Seventh Pay Commission. But that's not reason enough to vote for them. We have to think about creation of job opportunities for our children. I will vote for Modi."

A segment, however, still believes that there is no Modi wave and his image built up over the past few months has been a result of massive spending by the party.

"They have spent crores on developing his image and this money has come from industrialists. One of the first few things to happen if Modi comes to power will be a rise in gas prices. I am completely opposed to him and will vote for AAP," said Hari Kishan, a business economist living in Gole Market.

A trader in Patparganj, Kailash Garg, said that AAP was the best party for Delhi and he would vote for them in the next assembly elections. This time though, his vote is for Modi.

BJP Manifesto General Elections 2014

Reproduction with formatting.

Economic Revival
When the NDA Government completed its tenure the baton was handed over to the incoming UPA Government with GDP growth nearing double digit in 2004. Inflation was under control. Fiscal Deficit and Current Account Deficit were kept within limit and the overall Economy was showing robust fundamentals. In contrast, now at the end of Congress-led UPA regime, the GDP growth has plummeted to very low of 4.8%, the inflation and price rise beyond control, the fiscal deficit and current account deficit in the alarm zone, and the manufacturing sector facing a recession. The Congress-led UPA has indulged in massive scams during its last five years. In recent years, the Indian Rupee has seen a free fall like never before.

This is basically the result of policy and decision paralysis of the UPA Government. Decisions are simply not taken. And if they are taken, they turn into scandals. All this has destroyed the reputation of our economy. To reverse this process, the first thing, which is required, is to restore confidence in the integrity of the decision-making and sanctity of our decisions.

We will bring back credibility and trust in government, re-sowing confidence in the India story domestically as well as internationally. Through consistent, long-term policies, we will not just spur the process of economic growth, but also ensure that it is stable as well as balanced.

We will:
• find out solutions, which are effective in the short run and lasting in the long run.
• strictly implement Fiscal discipline, without compromising on funds availability for development work and asset creation
• allocate resources efficiently and effectively to re-energize the engines of growth.
• re-visit the policy framework for investments both foreign and domestic to make them more conducive.
• undertake Banking reforms to enhance ease and access, as well as accountability.
• we will encourage Savings as an important driver of investment and growth.

NPAs
NPAs have increased sharply over the past few years and the trend continues. BJP will take necessary steps to reduce NPAs in Banking sector. Also, BJP will set up a strong regulatory framework for the non-banking financial companies to protect the investors.

Taxation
UPA Government has unleashed 'Tax terrorism' and 'uncertainty', which not only creates anxiety amongst the business class and negatively impacts the investment climate, but also dents the image of the country. BJP realizes the importance of having a Tax Policy Roadmap, so that people are aware of the future and plan accordingly. We will:
• provide a non adversarial and conducive tax environment
• rationalize and simplify the tax regime
• overhaul the dispute resolution mechanisms
• bring on board all State governments in adopting GST, addressing all their concerns
• provide tax incentives for investments in research and development, geared towards indigenization of technology and innovation

Foreign Direct Investment
Barring the multi-brand retail sector, FDI will be allowed in sectors wherever needed for job and asset creation, infrastructure and acquisition of niche technology and specialized expertise. BJP is committed to protecting the interest of small and medium retailers, SMEs and those employed by them. The FIPBs (Foreign Investment Promotion Board) functioning shall be made more efficient and investor-friendly.

Defence Production
With its skilled human resources and technical talent, India can emerge as a global platform for defence hardware manufacture and software production. BJP will strengthen the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO); encourage private sector participation and investment, including FDI in selected defence industries.

• Technology transfer in defence manufacturing will be encouraged to the maximum.
• We will find solutions to the problems hampering the growth of the defence sector.
• We will encourage domestic industry to have a larger share in design and production of military hardware and platforms for both domestic use and exports, in a competitive environment.

Something is suspicious -- all malfunctioning EVMs in Assam are redirecting votes to either AGP or BJP, not a single one to Congress. How can this be, when Cong is ruling in both center and state? I think massive EVM rigging has been planned and these EVMs sending votes to competitors of Cong is just a Cong drama to pre-empt criticism when the results shock people.
