Narendra Modi to complete 12 years as Gujarat CM on Monday - The Economic Times
AHMEDABAD: Narendra Modi will tomorrow become the first Chief Minister of Gujarat to complete 12 years of continuous rule, during which he not only hard-sold 'Gujarat model of development' but also got himself nominated as BJP's prime ministerial candidate for 2014 elections.
"This is a record...No Chief Minister has served continuously for 12 years," according to a government release.
Modi, who started as a vendor serving tea to customers at a railway station in Gujarat, has come a long way in politics after he joined RSS as a pracharak and later became associated with BJP.
Modi had taken over the reigns from his predecessor Keshubhai Patel in 2001 and since then has led his party, the BJP, to score three consecutive electoral victories, almost pushing the opposition to fringe.
The 63-year-old leader was last month anointed as the prime ministerial candidate of BJP for 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
"In the last 12 years, Gujarat has showcased and implemented the policy of development to all and appeasement to none," a media statement issued by the state information department said.
"Gujarat has emerged as a growth engine of the country. The state has become a role model of development for other states as well as for developing countries," the statement said.

NCP is not opposed to #NarendraModi as a person but to his political ideology, says NCP’s Tariq Anwar.

lol... tunes are changing as elections are getting closer. This is what I have heard from few other 'seculars' as well. Oh well.. as they say there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends in politics. It's always good to keep your options open!

Congress wakes up and smells Modi
- Agenda for ad agency
New Delhi, Oct. 6: The theme song is Narendra Modi. For the Congress.
In a break with the past, the Congress leadership has cleared a personality-based campaign targeting its chief rival in the run-up to next summers general election.
Sources said that JWT, a global advertising and marketing agency that has won the contract to handle the Congresss electioneering for 2014, has been told to work on this project.
Although the Congress had fought and defeated Atal Bihari Vajpayee at the peak of his popularity in 2004, its campaign had not focused on his political personality.
Rather, the Congress had punctured the BJPs Shining India balloon with a probing Aam aadmi ko kya mila (what has the common man got) query.
In 2009, the Congress refrained from personal attacks on L.K. Advani despite the BJP launching a corrosive campaign contrasting its Iron Man with the weakest ever Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh). Instead, it concentrated on telling a success story that it said derived from its good governance.
But the UPA II carries a negative image and so the Congress has chosen to expose its challenger rather than tell its own story.
Modi, in that sense, has accomplished what Vajpayee and Advani couldnt. He has turned the next election virtually into a referendum on himself, mirroring the overwhelming presence Indira Gandhi once used to command.
Such domination by personalities, however, has not been so rare at the state level. Lalu Prasad, for instance, towered over Bihars electoral scene in the 1990s and the early years of this century.
The Congress, however, never ran a Modi-centric campaign even in Gujarat, where the fight was directly against the larger-than-life chief minister rather than his party or the Sangh parivar. Rather, the Congress took care not to focus on Modi but to dwell on local issues.
But now the party seems to have decided that Modis polarising personality and record could be its biggest asset in the battle for Delhi.
Congress leaders are convinced that not just the minorities but also the liberal Hindus nurse a stronger antipathy towards Modi than towards the BJP as a whole, and that this can form the basis of a sound electoral strategy.
While JWT has assigned a team of professionals to study and gather material on Modi, the Congresss research wing and Gujarat unit too are working on the project.
In addition to Modis tainted record on communal harmony, the Congress is keeping a hawk eye on his tendency to make comments that can give offence and his governments performance in the social sector in Gujarat, among other things.
Sources said JWT had won the lucrative Congress contract by focusing on Modis politics in its presentations to the party leadership. Crayons, which earlier handled the partys campaigns, was opposed by some leaders because of its association with the BJP in the past.
A senior Congress leader confirmed that the party would run a personalised campaign against Modi.
The way he used a lie planted by a Pakistani journalist to insult our Prime Minister shows his desperation and immaturity, the leader said.
We will not only say that he has no vision for the poor and that he is an agent of the rich and the corporate sector, well also question his credentials as a national leader. We will say that he is ignorant and has a narrow vision. We will definitely question his ability to occupy any high post at the national level, the Congress leader said.
Congress leaders are aware that such a strategy could prove a double-edged sword: it could put Modi on the centre-stage and make him appear the principal political figure in the country.
But the party has decided to run that risk probably because the governments success story isnt cutting much ice in this season of credibility crisis, and anti-incumbency has begun to hurt after 10 years of rule.

Over 40 per cent urban Indian voters are undecided on the political party of their choice, a survey by Google India has revealed, months ahead of elections due by May. (Google survey: urban Indian voters and the internet)
The survey also reveals that Narendra Modi has emerged as the politician most searched on the Internet in the past six months. (Here are India's 10 most-searched politicians)
The BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate is followed by Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh and anti-corruption campaigner, Arvind Kejriwal, who debuts in the November Delhi assembly polls.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is the sixth most searched politician in India.
Mr Modi's BJP also tops the list of most searched political parties. The Congress, Mr Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party, Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party and Shiv Sena are the others most searched. (The 5 most-searched political parties)
Search volumes reveal that four of the top 10 politicians are from Congress, while two belong to the BJP.
The survey not only found 42% of the voters undecided, but revealed that most voters believe the local candidate is as important as the political party, in deciding who to vote for. Only 11 per cent said the Prime Ministerial candidate of a political party will play an important role in their voting decision.
Google India's survey, which studies the role of Internet in the upcoming polls, covers over 7,000 internet users in 108 constituencies; it represents 20% of the 543 Lok Sabha constituencies across India.
Urban India is asking for more information on the local candidate on the Net, revealed the survey, to help them decide. Half of the undecided voters feel information on Internet is not enough.
Internet presence, felt the respondents, shows politicians as progressive and transparent leaders.
Two-thirds of the registered voters don't share their political views online, a fallout of the recent crackdown on social media posts.

One thing I have learned is not to take online polls seriously. Modi should do all in his power to campaign in places where his name is not well known specially the southern and eastern parts of the country. He should try to reach out to the people living in the rural areas, since majority of urban people have access to news and other means to learn about him.
