Muraliravi ji. I will welcome any article that you can put which says the Muslim vote in bihar is not split. I will attempt to dissect it.
I have enough info to know that the article quoting direct BJP people just after elections is correct.
Muslim + Yadav vote in 27%. If they voted en masse to Laloo, his vote share would not be 22%. Hain na? As it is they vote almost 100% of their numbers.

Its simple -- 2002 is closer than 1992 time dulls perceptions, also after 2002, congress had changed its game from 1992 to 2002. 1992 had outlived its utility, and was a mixed bag (BJP won because of that) 2002 pisses off no hindu (unlike attacking RJB) esp in the GV and gets all Muslims riled up.
So the focus has shifted, the new target is Modi.

What a sweeping statement, I am willing to bet that 99% of hindus who are offended when someone attacks RJB also get offended if someone attacks modi for 2002.Sanku wrote:I missed the question earlier.muraliravi wrote: Please reply to my primary question, why is advani acceptable to nitish and the muslims of bihar but not modi. that is the moot point

Next 1992 was close enough to 1999. Why did nitish ally with BJP then? Dont tell me the ABV factor did it, that is a load of crap. In the late 90's entire bjp was branded communal and riled up mullahs to no end, if nitish could shake hands then with BJP, why not now with modi. Dude, he even addressed rally together with modi in 2009. I stand by my theory, nitish hardly has any muslim vote in bihar, and even if he did he will not lose that becos of modi.
Here are Lalu's vote shares in seats contested (not across, because he was in alliance in LJP in 2010 and not in 2005):
Feb 2005: 28.35
Oct 2005: 32.63
Oct 2010: 27.31
For JD(U): in Feb 2005 it was 26.41, Oct 2005 it was 37.14 and Oct 2010 was 38.41
For BJP in Feb 2005, 24.91, Oct 2005 35.64 and Oct 2010 it was 39.56
I am unable to explain that spike that all parties had between Feb and Oct of 2005. Maybe becos they did not want a fractured mandate they voted decisively. But c'mon sir objectively between 2005 and 2010, JD(U) has gotten 1% more, is that what u call muslims moving to JD(U). Lalu just got a spike in Oct 2005, or else he has always stayed at 27-28%. BJP has increased its tally by getting FC vote from congress and that results show that also. i can post that also if u want.
I am not buying hoax anymore. Please evaluate my numbers and dont just to the 1st part of my reply.

Hardly Sir. Even as Modi supporter, those two causes evoke very different responses in me.
Two reasonsNext 1992 was close enough to 1999. Why did nitish ally with BJP then?
1) No option, nothing to lose.
2) BJP was already pardoned by Indians in terms of having been elected in 1997-8
One stint of Modi in center will wash off his "crimes"; as I said, winning is important. This election is for winning, Modi can be eased in in any number of ways.

Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India
At this point in time, I do wish NaMo to become the PM. He should be given the chance. Will he succeed or fail, time will tell. To me what has been interesting is his passion and work for national development. While I hear/read lots of good things, I do not believe he is the only individual/politician who is working for national development. There are CMs and politicians across the political spectrum who continue to do their own work. That is one thing the supporters probably oversee in the arguments on the internet, and social media. The important point becomes, he is different from others. Like JJ and CBN are different from others. Now can his characteristics rub on to others, can he become the inspiration to others? Like Vivekanada is a role model, can he become the role model.Vipin_Upadhyay wrote:SwamyG garu, if NaMo breaks-away from BJP at this point, it will take another 20-25 years minimum for his new "India First" party to blossom till national level. I am not sure if NaMo will be physically fit till that period.SwamyG wrote: I was probably one of the first to say in this dhaaga, Modi should break from BJP if necessary. It probably means defeat to him. And this left, right and center thingie is so Western,
Remember Jansangh from days of "oil lamp", it took 50 years for what BJP is today.
Moreover, NaMo is still not fully inducted at National level & his charisma is relatively less known in Hindi states like UP. chances are more that his party will remain confined till Gujarat & become one of the many regional parties of today. Breaking away from BJP is not an option for NaMo, however, doing shuddhikaran of BJP & cleansing it from all "toll" leaders one by one under NaMo should be the way to go.
PS: OT but, what is the age of NaMo, how many more years he can actively serve our country??
Ultimately, BJP or INC, Modi or Rahul ityadi are not important. People desire for peace, stability, justice and opportunities for growth. Right now he seems to be the best candidate (?). To me 10-15 CMs getting inspired by him is what matters the most; because that would signal a tradition and change in the system. Him becoming a PM will be like a cherry on the ice-cream/cake - and is not the be-all end-all. And rooting for ONLY him, is like rooting for your favorite sports team - nothing right or wrong. People have to see him as a successful politician, a good role-model to emulate; and that is how I weight his words and actions. During my youth, I did not listen to many politicians talk, and now after listening to some of the stump speeches in America, and listening to Modi - I am just clean bowled. I saw JJ speaking in the Assembly, it was good too. So there are several people out there.....we need more of them to step forward. And hopefully Modi inspires them.

This is not new. Happened when Vajpayee was coming to power. Their main concerns are a less manipulable India geo-politically, security of Pak and license for EJs. All three get affected if a strong nationalist Govt. comes to power. Why would Anglo's loose sleep over secularism in India when they are happy doing business with fundamentalists in Saudi, Pak and elsewhere? Post-IG they have been able to subdue India with threats and carrots. A Modi-like figure brings in unpredictability for them.varunkumar wrote: Some Indian coolies have reached the US to get white man's assessment about Modi.

The co-director of leading American think tank uses words like perhaps, certainly, probably, could, both sides, most certainly, brink, and then even terrorism is justified. Justifying terror is most barbaric. It talks of Hindu terror and then mentions terror by SIMI again justifying terror barbarically.
The scholar and author Tankel guy talks of less violence as result of community and Indian state but gives no credit tto BJP government in Gujarat! Also talks about not yet proven Hindu terror as also lies about no efforts to prosecuting Modi, an elected leader! Then lies about keeping a lid on it by both sides, violence by both sides and so on.
Typical anti Hindu lies from American think tanks.

Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India
I posted this earlier but the Guj Govt asked for death for 20 Muslims involved in Godhra burning. 27 Hindu's in the Ode Massacre case, and that is not now, it was in August/ Sept 2012 before the elections! And now for some 17 odd more. Completely unlike INC or others. For law and order, Modi looks a tough guy for sure. He cleared millions of pending cases in courts by ordering mobile law courts and some 30 plus night courts. After clearing that backlog he is now planning to close a dozen or more night courts because the back log has been cleared. INC and the Sajjans, assorted INC goons would be crapping if he actually makes it right up there..and for the Ode, the Guj Govt asked for death after they had been approved life sentences by SIT!
Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India
Who wants to kill Narendra Modi?
New Delhi: Amid reports of threat perception against Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, his staunch supporter Madhu Kishwar has stirred up a storm on micro-blogging site Twitter, saying that the leader was under categorical threat of being assassinated. She said that she got the information from a senior home ministry officer. She also dragged the name of Teesta Setalvad, a known Modi detractor, saying that she was trying to get a frivolous FIR registered against the CM."Yesterday met some senior govt officers who said Modi's assassination real possibility if Teesta Congress fail to get fraud FIR against Modi,” she Tweeted. Madhu Kishwar had posted the tweet on April 17 saying that she was told by an official about the categorical LeT threat to Modi. However, she deleted the tweet yesterday. Retweeting the threat perception, she said that she had deleted it as she did not want to create panic in the masses.Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde on Wednesday denied to have received any report of threat to the Gujarat CM.
"I don't have any specific information about the alert. The BJP has enquired about it, but we don't have any information.""If there is any leader who is on target, we alert the leader and the concerned state. If there is any information, we pass it on. So far no information of this kind has been received on Modi," he said.In a report published in DNA, a letter, addressed to deputy inspector general of police (DIG) – Intelligence Bureau (IB), claimed that all the major RSS leaders and Modi are on the target of LeT. IB officials have asked local police stations to remain alert and beef up Modi’s security during his tour.The sender, undersigned as a LeT terrorist, threatened to kill Aditya Chopra who, according to the sender, is the editor of a newspaper in north India. The sender accused Chopra of promoting Narendra Modi as the future prime minister of India.

Maya courts Brahmins
- Return to 2007 winning formula in first list for 2014
Lucknow, April 18: Mayawati today named her first list of candidates for next year’s Lok Sabha elections, half of them Brahmins, prompting suggestions that the BSP chief was planning to revive her successful 2007 formula of forging a Dalit-upper caste axis.
Among the 36 names she announced, 18 were Brahmins, one of them a charge-sheeted former Shiv Sena legislator accused of instigating a mob to pull down the Babri Masjid.
If the first list hinted at a revival of Mayawati’s Dalit-Brahmin caste alliance, the BSP boss ensured the right visuals. She held the media conference, where she announced the first list, at the home of her party’s Brahmin face, Satish Chandra Mishra, an advocate and Rajya Sabha member.
“Brahmins were misguided during the 2012 Assembly elections, but now they are back again with the BSP along with other upper castes,” Mayawati said today.
To impress Brahmin voters, she repeated her demand for reservation for the poor among the upper castes.

He is sure that his ground will be pulled from his feet easily with NaMo on ascent. NaMo is gthe only visionary politican who works for the people, connecting to them directly and remians popular ever. A welcome change amongst politicans.
NiKu by talking about secularism aims to prevent currently unstoppable NaMo due to ground support.
NiKu is trying to end NaMo rise by backdoor entry. Playing on the fears of other members and congis.
It is his survival as a politican strategy nothing secular about it. he also does not care about LKA or any other BJP leaders. The main reason is non NaMo leaders cannot remove him politically in Bihar. BJP will remain second fiddle to him.
By not naming NaMo, his baiters will make herculean task to stop him post elections where ground support is meaningless.
It is imperative he is named before elections to prevent the above scenario.
Similar is the case for congis where its entire system will potentially be toppled by him.
He is the most likely of all politicans to do the above amongst the current crop in the last 1 decade.

I'm sure you have a point in that the AAP has various problems. I am not even saying that they should be supported. The point I was constrained to make is a very limited one. Which is that if they are getting some traction amongst economically disadvantaged people, if they are able to function on the basis of small donations from the common man, then it must be because they are addressing a need which others are choosing to ignore. We welcome all worthwhile contributions to the national discourse, and we welcome the weeding out of useless eaters.

Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India
Solo fight on Congress mind for 2014
New Delhi, April 18: The Congress leadership is contemplating going it alone in the 2014 election — an idea that bears Rahul Gandhi’s stamp of approval.
The party’s dilemma is now restricted to Maharashtra and Kerala where it has strong alliances. The dominant view in the Congress is that it should contest all seats in Maharashtra, leaving the option open for a coalition with Sharad Pawar’s NCP after the poll.
Although no final decision has been taken yet, the alliance in Kerala with the Indian Union Muslim League and the Kerala Congress (Mani) is expected to remain intact in an exception.
A committee on alliances set up by Sonia Gandhi and headed by A.K. Antony has not met for months after its first meeting as it knows there is little to discuss. However, all other election-related committees have been meeting regularly and finalising reports.
The Antony committee was expected to hunt for new allies but the leadership is now moving in reverse gear on this issue.
It is now almost certain that the Congress will have no pre-poll alliance in Kashmir, where its ally the National Conference is exploring options of quitting the UPA.
The Congress leadership has discussed the possibility of realigning with the Trinamul Congress in Bengal and unanimously rejected it.
A member of the Rahul Gandhi-led election management committee told The Telegraph: “We will fight all the seats in Bengal without any alliance.”
The party does not expect any dramatic gains in Bengal by fighting alone but it knows a triangular contest will bolster the Left’s chances, which under no circumstance would support Narendra Modi after the election.
A senior leader said: “We didn’t gain much by aligning with Mamata Banerjee. She jumped from one to 19. If we fight alone, we will be around the same number that we are now: six, or maybe one or two less. But we are not interested in helping a potential BJP ally at any cost.”
In Tamil Nadu, the chances of an alliance with the DMK or the AIADMK are bleak. Although the party’s own condition is not encouraging, Rahul is said to be supportive of the idea of contesting all the seats alone to expand the party’s base in the southern state.
In Andhra Pradesh, too, the party is gearing up to fight alone without having any understanding with either the TRS or Jaganmohan Reddy’s YSR Congress.
Bihar is another state where there is no unanimity among senior leaders as one section favours an alliance with Lalu Prasad Yadav’s RJD and Ram Vilas Paswan’s LJP. But so far, sources say, the decision is to go it alone.
This decision, however, could be reviewed later if the Janata Dal (United) quits the NDA, dramatically altering the electoral dynamics of the state. “Even this possibility is remote,” said a senior leader, revealing that so far there has been no indication of any understanding with either Lalu Prasad or Nitish Kumar.
In Jharkhand, the Congress is going to contest alone, without having any understanding with either Shibu Soren’s JMM or Babulal Marandi’s JVP.
Alliances in states like Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Odisha, Gujarat, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi are out of question.
In a way, the UPA will cease to exist before the 2014 election and efforts to sew up a coalition will be a post-result exercise.
The UPA has lost a number of allies since its formation in 2004. Parties like the DMK, Trinamul Congress, MDMK, PMK, JMM, PDP, RJD, LJP, RPI and the AIMIM have parted ways over the years citing some reason or the other.

Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India
Kejriwal and his band of nacxalites are useless eaters. Whatever happened to all the evidence they had on Modi? They never took him to court. They never take anyone to court it seems. They just shoot and scoot. They don't have any vision for the country besides some idiotic leftist policies.Pranav wrote:Some people insist on bringing in AAP here.

Kejriwal is nothing but a sacrifical bakra of congi system to keep itself relevant.
whatever is aam aadmi support is irrelevant. The supporters may not know of Fai harsh mander or the others.
But what stops him from rejecting these anti nationals and corrupt people.
he supports maoists agenda. he supports congi system.
He is a well educated fellow who cannot think big for India become a visionary like NaMo.
Hence my distates for these well suited educated scoundrels who love to keep India in poverty.
He is a typical monkey with a gun trained towards non congis.
I dont want to bring all his path to glory in media circles by his so called relentless tirade on corruption.![]()
Delhi is too precious for congis to lose. it is the "so called" best performing state of congis. the show peice govt to compare with the rest.
I'm sure you have a point in that the AAP has various problems. I am not even saying that they should be supported. The point I was constrained to make is a very limited one. Which is that if they are getting some traction amongst economically disadvantaged people, if they are able to function on the basis of small donations from the common man, then it must be because they are addressing a need which others are choosing to ignore. We welcome all worthwhile contributions to the national discourse, and we welcome the weeding out of useless eaters.
