You are rightly saying that assembly elections are fought on local issues.
So Modi would have had a limited role, even if he had campaigned extensively.
In fact, Modi barely spent 12 hours in the state total.
So why are Congressmen jumping about claiming that this has proved or disproved...
Sometimes the methods are subtle, sometimes they are blatant, but the foreign leadership invariably has a hostile agenda.

It would indeed be healthier for Indians to not associate with religious organizations controlled from abroad.
It is similar to how one would view Wahhabi Madrassas controlled and funded by Saudis.
Cong silent on cadres linked to Guj riots
Rajesh Ramachandran, TNN Aug 9, 2003, 11.50pm IST
NEW DELHI: The Congress has been going to town over Best Bakery and other instances of the Narendra Modi government's complicity in the anti-Muslim violence which shook Gujarat last year.
But when it...
We have 2 versions of Taliban in India. One is Bajrang Dal, and the other is the Teesta Setalvad brand of Taliban.
Sonia supports only one of these Talibans overtly, although the other Taliban are also useful to demonize Indic traditions and energize the vote bank. So they may well be getting...
I think Karzai is being a somewhat undiplomatic. He should not burn his bridges with anybody unless he has firm arrangements in place for future Afghan defense requirements.
You don't need to write so many words to make the simple point that "Pakistan should rule over the Afghans".
Nothing new, that desire has been there since the days of Zia-ul-Haq.
You may be celebrating the KA election outcome, but that is no excuse to throw logic out of the window. Pray which claim of mine have I modified.
It is a reasonable inference, they have fought against the BJP in elections, and are basically thugs for hire.
Ram Sene is in fact on congress payroll.
Actually Sushma and Advani were promoting the Bellary Reddy mining mafia against Yeddy.
It was not about corruption, Yeddy was a small fish when it comes to corruption.
What to expect from a place where Muslims are slaughtering each other every day ... what chance would a Kaffir have.
Anyway, I wonder if Pakistani patients coming to India for medical treatment will be as happy this incident as the PDF ghazis.
Why do you guys have to bring up Modi every time we talk about the butchery of the Congress. Congressmen seem to think that "same yardstick" means that if Sajjan Kumar is guilty then automatically Modi must also be guilty. What kind of logic is that.
I agree with Abingdonboy. Please talk about...
The whole matter of Modi's role in the riots has been investigated by the independent, Supreme Court appointed SIT. The SIT found that Modi did his best to control the riots.
You are like the witch-hunting fanatics of medieval Europe.
You need to go by logic and facts, not by your prejudices...
That's your perception. It remains only a perception until it is tested in an election. Let the Syrians decide.
You should talk about how to make the election credible instead of insisting that Syrians should not have the right to choose X or Y.
Who gave FaujiHistorian the right to decide who the Syrian people can choose.
Let them reject anybody who they don't want.
If you want to discuss the modalities of credible elections then that is a different matter.
But if you insist a-priori that Syrians should not have the right to...
No need to get too excited, the 40 Chinese campers are surrounded on all sides by Indian Army.
They are learning to enjoy loud Hindi film music. They will go back when they feel hungry.
I agree that this government is useless but currently India is exercising restraint to maintain peace.
There have been cases of a few people in a nation accepting Islam without Islamic rule - but they remained at the margins.
In every case where a nation became a Muslim majority nation, the ruler was always defeated / converted first. This is the case even in Indonesia and Malaysia - Muslims...
