Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India

Muppalla · Post by **Muppalla** » 16 Jun 2013 04:14

NK is not able to find few more MLAs across to make the government. The MPs of JDU are against going out of NDA. Even if NK makes it as a razor thin government, it longevity looks bleak. Sharad Yadav is having difference thoughts. BJP is adamant and it not going to go away from Modi as PM.

NaMo is the best thing to have happened to BJP in a long time and to India in due course.

he has shown what it takes to be development orientated, take on the might of pro establismhment media all his political life, fight all negative attitudes/sterotypes/lies etc.

whether he wins or not, he shown the path for future NaMos.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

If BJP realises that they NaMo and his vision, then India is for them -- can be now or later . overall does not matter.

About the rest -- fights with NDA constituents secularism etc are all small change in the larger scheme of things.

Hope BJP as a party realises this fact.

^^^^
congis have ot been in power in Bihar since the massacre of muslims during their rule. congis actively participated in the massacre.
somehow since then they have been in dog house because non muslims have not reposed their trust in them. muslims still support congis to some extent.
Meanwhile non muslims became firmly anti congis which led to the rise of laloos and now nikus.

However congis have dossiers on the activities of these laloos and nikus, hence have rings around them.

Only congis fear is RSS BJP combine-- they did succeed to some extent with dilli bill in their pocket.
The arrival of NaMo has put paid to all these elaborate rings.

_____________________________
It is the non muslims who are preventing congis getting power in Bihar despite muslims bearing the brunt of massacre- worst than Godhra riots.

Folks can correct me in this.

meanhwile it is nation building as usual for NaMo away from media glare (for good activities)- away from the happenings in NDA.

related to girl child. he has been spear heading a campaign for over nearly a decade for the girl child away from media who dont like to publicise these activities.

http://www.narendramodi.in/shri-modi-vi ... veshotsav/

Speaking at these schools, nestled in the forested foothills of the Girnar, he said that biometric attendance system for teachers and students is being introduced in government primary schools in rural areas. Students’ performance will be tracked with the help of technology. He said that Gujarat Government has already introduced a scheme for schools’ grading, setting the ball rolling for a competition among schools to be A-Grade.

using technology to ensure 100% enrollment in primary and secondary schools allover the state.

Sushupti wrote:
With the Dal(U) set to part ways, BJP sources say, Advani and his few remaining loyalists might lose their last line of defence against Modi’s ascendancy.

“Advani was betting on Nitish to arrest Modi’s rise on the secular argument and hoping that a consensus would later evolve around him if the alliance was in a position to form the government next year,” the source said.

“He was hoping to buy time and prepare the ground to emerge as a strong alternative to Modi. Nitish was the weapon because our other allies have more or less accepted Modi.”

Advani is believed to have drafted Sushma Swaraj and Ravi Shankar Prasad into the save-the-alliance project. But Sushma, despite her rapport with Nitish, has not spoken to him during the ongoing crisis, sources said.

She today tweeted: “Only a united Opposition can defeat Congress…. Therefore, NDA’s unity is a historical necessity. We must do everything to keep NDA united.”

Prasad, who missed the Goa conclave because of a Track II diplomatic assignment in Sri Lanka, was on TV saying: “Things look grave and uncertain (in Bihar).”

Yashwant Sinha and Jaswant Singh, who usually side with Advani against Modi, have neither been seen nor heard for the past few days.

Pressure, instead, has come from the Bihar BJP to dump the Dal(U). The state unit has grown increasingly impatient with, and now intolerant of, the ally following Nitish’s serial rebuffs to Modi.

Sources said the Bihar BJP had conveyed to the central leaders that the longer the alliance continued, the greater the “damage” to the party. The argument was that the BJP’s core upper-caste voters were angry with Nitish for his constant barbs at Modi.

The state leaders also claimed that Bihar and Odisha could not be compared. The BJP had been routed in Odisha after Naveen Patnaik walked out of the alliance before the 2009 elections.

“Unlike Odisha, we have a robust organisation and a disciplined cadre everywhere in Bihar,” a source said.

The Bihar BJP’s optimism is bolstered by the belief that if Modi’s roots in the extremely backward caste of oil-pressers are highlighted, the party can add “substantially” to its votes. Asked if Delhi shared Patna’s optimism and perceptions, a source replied: “There is no contradiction.”

http://www.telegraphindia.com/1130615/j ... 010075.jsp

Keep in mind that in Odisha BJP still got 16% of the votes.

I think BJP should contest on it's own. Once it wins or dents the prospects of JD U / BJD , these parties will come running back to BJP,and at that time BJP should drive a hard bargain and give it back to N &N.

for example in Odisha if BJD looses one election to congress by 4/5 % , it will realize the importance of the 15/16% vote share that BJP brings to the table.

Bade Be-Aabroo hoker there kooche se hum nikle. First target should be D4 mukta Bharat.

Moves, counter moves

It was made out by his supporters that L K Advani’s letter of resignation was partly to protest against the RSS’s sway over the BJP. But in trying to combat the NaMo effect, Advani himself wanted a section of the RSS to bat for him. That’s why he recommended that Nitin Gadkari be made chairperson of a parallel election management panel. This was not out of any great fondness for Gadkari. (Advani had, in fact, played a part in ousting Gadkari as party president.) Advani named him because a powerful group in Nagpur was sympathetic towards Gadkari. Advani’s prime target in the RSS is Suresh Soni, who liaises between the RSS and BJP, and RSS nominee and BJP general secretary Ram Lal. He felt that the two men encouraged Rajnath Singh to remain resolute in installing Modi. But so unrelenting was the RSS high command that BJP leaders visiting Advani to placate him were given strict instructions that no compromise formula was to be offered. Advani took back his resignation letter after his supporters requested RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to speak to him.

BJP should cash in on Goa enthusiasm

Swapan Dasgupta

From the anointment of Narendra Modi in Goa and LK Advani's Sunset Boulevard act in Delhi to Nitish Kumar's notice of separation and divorce from the NDA, it has been a bit too much of a rollercoaster ride for the BJP.

It is just as well that all the drama has been packed into one week of June, at least 6-7 months before the election campaign formally begins. There is nothing more disastrous for a political party than to be confronted with indigestion in the midst of an election campaign-as happened in 2009 when Naveen Patnaik parted ways during the seat-sharing talks. It is best to get over the inner rumblings before the blueprints of the campaign have been finalised.

That Advani and Nitish were party poopers and dampened the post-Goa celebratory mood in the BJP isn't in any doubt. At the risk of floating a conspiracy theory, it can be said that the duo was acting in concert. The JD(U) was banking on Advani to keep the Gujarat Chief Minister confined to the Gir forest; and Advani in turn was leaning on Nitish and Sushma Swaraj's personal equations with the Thackeray family to maintain his own primacy in the party. After the BJP tersely informed Advani of the difference between Formula-1 racing and a vintage car rally, Nitish was left in doubt Modi had prevailed inside the party. He was requested by those he would leave orphaned in the BJP to stick to his original December 31 deadline because Advani still commanded a majority in the BJP Parliamentary Board, but by then things had gone too far for the JD(U) to apply the brakes without completely losing face.

As it is, despite his grandstanding and his ability to retain control of the State Government, Nitish remains in danger of being squeezed between a re-invigorated Lalu Yadav and a gung-ho BJP — a predicament that could even force him into an alliance with the Congress in 2014. Since the JD(U) departure from the NDA was packaged as a bout of 'secularism', Nitish will have to demonstrate to the community he is courting that he stands a better chance of slaying Modi than Lalu Yadav. That may only be possible if he has the Congress by his side.

That Nitish's imminent departure from the NDA has led to some soul-searching within the BJP is also undeniable. At an over-simplistic level, the BJP is witnessing a curious battle between its heart and its head. A section of the well-established leadership who saw political power in 2014 as a low hanging fruit curse Modi for injecting new complications and making the BJP's task challenging.

The Advani objection to the projection of Modi was centred on the belief that the sheer weight of anti-incumbency would decimate the Congress and result in the NDA emerging as the clear front-runner for power. In other words, neither the BJP nor its allies would have to do much more than get its caste sums right and work up the crowds with the same messages about corruption, economic mismanagement and the legacy of Atal Behari Vajpayee. In short, it would be the 2009 campaign again with, hopefully, a better outcome thanks to the extent of the UPA's misgovernance.

The emergence of Modi and particularly the way his rise has been interpreted by a large section of people have upset those calculations. It is now clear that a conventional campaign that, at best, promises to substitute the strategic silences of the 80-year-old Manmohan Singh with the unending reminiscences of the 85-year-old Advani will not yield optimum results. Indeed, another insipid NDA campaign could even revive attractions for the Congress' all-too-familiar strategy of sops and handouts.

For the BJP, the likely exit of the JD(U) has cleared the decks for a very new type of election campaign. Yes, the possible absence of regional allies in states other than Punjab, Maharashtra and, possibly, the Telengana region of Andhra Pradesh and Assam, pose an exceptional challenge. If the general election becomes an aggregate of state elections, the BJP is unlikely to be in the driver's seat of a new coalition Government. And the impossibility of a BJP-led Government being sworn in by President Pranab Mukherjee in 2014 is what the pundits and the media will hark on incessantly. Arithmetically, they will tell you, a BJP Prime Minister after the general election has been ruled out by Nitish, Mamata Banerjee, Naveen Patnaik and Jagan Mohan Reddy.

They may well be right. I recall in 1991, Atal Behari Vajpayee ruing that the BJP tally would be around 50 because it had no alliances. At a National Executive meeting, Kalyan Singh, the then BJP chief of Uttar Pradesh, indicated that the party's popular vote in Uttar Pradesh would, at best, rise from nine per cent to 18 per cent. In the event, the BJP won 121 seats, including more than 50 seats from Uttar Pradesh. Indeed, had it not been for Rajiv Gandhi's assassination a day before the second phase of the three-phase poll, the BJP tally would perhaps have touched 160 seats.

The Index of Opposition Unity (IOU) model that was used to forecast elections was demolished in 1991, an election where the Ayodhya issue dominated. This was entirely due to the fact that the BJP campaign was novel: it was unorthodox, strident and centred on the creation of a new India. Never before or since has a BJP campaign been so full of raw energy as it was in 1991. The issues of the 1991 campaign have become history.

Today's India has changed far more than its politics. There is raw energy of a youthful population desperate for self-improvement and, by implication, national resurgence; and there is raw anger that periodically manifests itself in spontaneous explosions against corruption and rape. To this can be added the social churning created by upwards social mobility, urbanisation and regional pride. And, finally, there is waning faith in the ability of the existing political class to effect meaningful change.

In a nutshell, while the existing arithmetic is tilted against Modi, the emerging chemistry of politics favours an outsider who encapsulates this churning. It is Modi's ability, as campaign chief, to harness these energies and social trends that will determine whether the enthusiasm witnessed in Goa is translated into parliamentary seats. There is no half-way house left for the BJP. To win it will have to reinvent its approach to politics. Fortunately for it, the sheer determination of its supporters to break the mould overrides the innate conservatism of its leadership. In the past week, hard decisions were forced on the party. Now it will have to take them voluntarily and with imagination.

What are the realistic chances of BJP if it goes alone in Odisha considering the fact that Naveen Patnaik has openly said that he is against NaMo or something to that affect?
How many seats can we expect ( best case & worst case )? I have noticed that none of the calculations (on BRF ) have indicated any votes for BJP. If BJP doesn't have any votes at this time, what would it lose by going at it alone.

There is a very fine line between prediction and wishful thinking. We need to keep that in perspective.

Can some one come up with a list of viable BJP candidates for their respective states who can actually stand a chance of winning the seat? Despite NaMo's influence, it would come down to the popularity, to some extent, of the local leaders/individual running on the ticket. Additional information regarding the opponent would also be useful.

I'll try to get some information for the Telangana region to begin with..

Exceptional piece by Tavleen Singh on Niti Central: Narendra Modi’s march continues

For a while now, strange stories about Lal Krishna Advani have circulated on Delhi’s political grapevine. Stories of how visitors to his house in Prithviraj Road are obliged to watch the latest documentaries made by his daughter before they can discuss anything political. Stories of how he has taken to bursting into tears for no reason. Stories of how he seems deeply embittered about life.

Quite clear what she is trying to imply in the passage above...

Modi is the first major political leader since Jawaharlal Nehru who has articulated a clear economic vision. It is a vision that is almost the exact opposite of the one that Nehru believed in and it is this that attracts young people in our cities because it is a vision of prosperity in which he emphasizes governance rather than government.

And the most insightful of all is this:

They say this is because of what happened in Gujarat in 2002 but you only need to scratch a little to discover that beneath that veneer lies the real reason. They hate Modi most of all because he has been articulating an economic vision for India that is the direct opposite of the one that the Congress Party has followed for most of its years in power. They hate the way in which he talks about aiming for a prosperous India instead of just one in which poverty removal is the goal.

The point above is extremely key. If Modi has been a socialist type mouthing idiotic leftist slogans - his RSS background, 2002 riots would have all been forgotten within a couple of years. The core reason for the opposition to Modi is not 2002 - but for his economic vision and his daring to dream of a resurgent India that doesn't diss its own cultural traditions.

Very true, this is what I wrote too a few pages ago

He is ruthless with those that put development and governance second to the job of deliverance at hand. That is what the public is perceiving about this man. That is what the INC and others fail to see (that the public perceives and likes NMs economic focus). If this man wins even one term it will influence the very way politics is conducted in this nation, away from the fixers and movers to those that will put deliverance, governance and development at the top of the agenda's. NM does not like playing the victim, he does not like playing an appeaser too. He is above that kind of nonsense. That is his forte and that is what the nation needs at this juncture.

Again I posted before that while movers and fixers were doing rounds and meetings on fixing numbers, calculating who is leaning where and how one can buy this or that, Modi was working. 1st getting insights into increasing productivity in agriculture, interacting with hundreds of dairy and agricultural experts. Next was personally enrolling girl children to school in 3 villages. Nitish meanwhile despite a major naxal attack on a moving train in Bihar, gave no statement on it, was dealing, fixing, scheming and strategizing power equations. The junta see's through this charade. Note also NM doesn't respond to all that is thrown at him. He just does what he does best, try and improve things bit by bit, brick by brick, ensure mechanisms are in place, encourage, educate.

this is congress survival instincts at work. They know well, that prosperity for whole society through economic growth will Hindutwa-ise whole society en masse, because there seems to be a point above subsistance level where people will look towards larger issues rather than issues of survival & maybe caste politics. If society as a whole is raise beyond that level then Congress under an Italian mouthing secularism this that, muslims have first right to resources, bijli to pakistan ha ha will never have a lookin at the corridors of power again. They have tasted this before, they know what is coming. So Congress mantra is to screw the commons, tax the crap out of middle-class, tax the rich, unleash IT and ST depts after business owners, increase CRR and stunt growth. What growth occurs or doesn't occur they will make their money through military deals, telecom deals, privatization and transfer funds to swiss and call it a day.

To ensure there is no Indian Spring through their misrule, they will give direct subsidy scheme & NREGA to bribe the poor.

You got it wrong BJP had said it earlier that the mandate in Bihar was for NDA and now since Nitish has chosen to walk out of it on flimsy excuse hence BJP has the upper hand in claiming that it wasn't responsible for the NDA break.

with due respect, how would BJP have gained the upper position if they had pulled the plug? The people of Bihar are annoyed that a good government is being broken up in this way, and by letting Nitish pull the plug BJP has put the onus of the decision on him. By letting Nitish be the one to break the coalition, BJP has gained the upper position.
