BJP won 8 of 12 seats in areas where Muslims population is substantial.

Modi is going to the PM in 2014.

And we will see the same kind of long term impact in just 1-2 Modi terms as we saw from Vajpayee. It was colossal then and it will be colossal now.

Sushmita Sen?



True



Naveen Patnaik? Even without Modi, he parted ways with the BJP; unlikely to support Modi & unlike other allies, he does not really require the BJP.



Not a chance. U.P. is a lost cause, it is way too fragmented on caste lines & the BJP has only lost ground there.




You mean the BJP has nowhere to go.



True, BJP has strong presence in Bihar but so has Nitish.



That they will though Shivraj Singh Chauhan won't be as big a cheerleader of Modi as you assume.



Even with everything you said & with BJP facing anti incumbency in MP & Chhattisgarh , the BJP will struggle to get above 160 seats. With that number, no one, not even Modi can help. If Modi has to deal with Mayawati, Jayalalitha, Jagan Reddy, he will be in a worse position than MMS.


No logic, Patel was not well & died just a couple of years after independence, there would have been no difference if he was made PM.

Sushma , edited .. but still she is not PM material.

BJP needs to find ally. If BJP goes to find allies by rejecting Modi then BJP ll not win 120 seat by own. UP politics is always full of **** and now UP has seen 9 riots and enjoying a lot of crimes also. This is the time, every body knows that who is Modi. Does not matter in which state you are every body is talking about Modi.

Indian people need to wake up to make a choice. This is not about only the electing the leader. They need to vote on national interest. And i think BJp can serve better national interest then congress.

MMS is in worst condition because of congress. Nobody can not blame congress allies for this. MMS is just corrupt leader.

And about Mr. Patel, well we know the past so this may be easy to say that he was not good enough. But still he was better then nehru.

Naveen Patnaik? Even without Modi, he parted ways with the BJP; unlikely to support Modi & unlike other allies, he does not really require the BJP.

Naveen Patnaik does not need BJP in Orrisa but again he is pro Narendra Modi. In April 2012 Naveen Patnaik got together with Jalalalitha and Narendra Modi to give head ache to puppet singh and congi stooges. There is little doubt he will support Narendra Modi when push comes to shove.

Not a chance. U.P. is a lost cause, it is way too fragmented on caste lines & the BJP has only lost ground there.

UP is indeed a lost cause for BJP as there is a leadership vacuum in UP BJP that was used by Rajnath singh to promote himself. Narendra Modi has already cut him down to size by refusing to campaign in UP for the last election resulting in BJP loss of face.

You mean the BJP has nowhere to go.

Jagan Mohan is a Christian so there is no chance he will support NaMo......but he hates Sonia more! Recently Asaduddin Owaisi of MIM approached him to ensure he does not join BJP.... ..... but he does have a CBI case hanging over his head. He will support whoever is in the centre to get the CBI off him.

True, BJP has strong presence in Bihar but so has Nitish.

Nitish is an opportunist. If BJP gets enough seats, he will fall in line or will ask for his pound of flesh.

That they will though Shivraj Singh Chauhan won't be as big a cheerleader of Modi as you assume.

In the recent national executive meet of BJP (May 2012) which was a complete Modi show of strength resulting in Sanjay Joshi was kicked out by and where L K Advani and Sushma Swaraj were conspicuous by their absence, it was chief ministers Raman Singh (Chhattisgarh) and Shivraj Singh Chauhan ( Madhya Pradesh) who sat with Modi till the end. Both of them faces an election in 2013 and will certainly need Modi to help him to win against the anti-incumbency vote and will be in no position to fight again in 2014.

Even with everything you said & with BJP facing anti incumbency in MP & Chhattisgarh , the BJP will struggle to get above 160 seats. With that number, no one, not even Modi can help. If Modi has to deal with Mayawati, Jayalalitha, Jagan Reddy, he will be in a worse position than MMS.

Jayalalitha is a Hindu nationalist and is supporting Dr. Subramanian swamy and is completely Pro Modi. Mayawati is under CBI so will again support who ever can take that off her head. Besides Mayawati is genuinely for the Dalits and NaMo is an OBC so there is a definite scope of engagement.

No logic, Patel was not well & died just a couple of years after independence, there would have been no difference if he was made PM.

This is the part where I agree with you

India also consider heretic Ahmedis and some other, no name heretic groups as muslims. SO in simple terms it can't be considered that muslims voted for a renowned terrorist. And voting turn out on those areas should also be considered. Also Indian media even though "free" are unanimous when it comes to defending hindutva leaders even if they have henious criminal background and follow the chankya ideology.
