Congress will make govt. by supporting SP/BSP, Left, DMK, Jagan and JD(U), NCP, Lok Dal, National Conferance. Leth the time come main of these parties led by congress will be to stop Modi and this will happen because non presence of BJP except in Delhi, Rajasthan, MP, Chattisgarh, Gujarat, and to an extent in Karnataka will make regional parties very strong and these parties will be supported by congress

Yes I fear congress will get down to this level ..:( congress will destroy india thanks to people like you
 
Yes you are right .Third front is only possible with the external support of congress and yes they will do any thing and every thing to keep BJP out.How stable will the third front be is a totally different question.
Regarding the loss of Modi's charisma..I feel you are only partially correct because undoubtedly it will be a big blow for him if the third front comes or even more if BJP is compelled to form a government without him being the PM....but considering the fact that he is the CM of Gujarat(that too by a huge margin) and that it would really take a miracle for him to lose Gujarat and looking at the kind of person he is he is going to find ways to keep himself in the National and to some extend in the International stage just like he is doing now...So it would be unwise to predict the end of Modi even after a negative result in 2014.
In politics you never die ..You can always rise from the ashes

Absolute nonsense. Modi has not even started to campaign and we already see such a massive support swinging in favor of Modi. Just imagine the swing when he starts the actual campaign.

Third front is a myth being propagated by the congress to dilute the Modi wave in the country. BJP will never form the govt. by abandoning Modi, Modi is far to popular and powerful for anyone from BJP to pull a stunt like that. Even Advani has fallen in line and has said Modi is his choice for PM. Except for Nitish, Patnaik and Kashmir no other party is likely to shun BJP once they emerge as the single largest party. Modi's party members either Admire him, Respect him or fear him (his enemies). He has truly united the BJP under his leadership.

Politics makes the unlikeliest bed fellows and everybody wants a piece of the pie. Modi is just a pre election red herring. After election results, people will be jumping to get into bed with him.

Modi has fought too hard and too long to let his dreams die or compromise. One thing about Modi is he sticks to his guns and once he takes a stand, no one can make him budge.

In worst case scenario, when Modi refuses to back down and BJP govt. does not form, he will garner all the sympathy vote in the next election like vajpayee did and will win more convincingly the next time. There is no one in BJP who is even close to Modi is size and charisma.
 


Meanwhile .... he does not know what Brashtachaar or balatkaar is ....

Of course....and in most probability...This is going to happen...But you know what...If Congress does this act...This will start the end of Congress in the Hindi Heart land....Ultimately..people who are opposed to BJP and technically speaking..they should have gone to Congress...But when 3rd front will come to power...Indian election from then onwards..will be fought on the baisis of BJP and Non BJP parties...This in turn strenghten BJP and regional parties at expense of Congress Party...

So in a nutshell ..even i like this idea too.....I am not a great fan of BJP of late....But of course..I donot like to see Pappu becomes my PM too....Anti Congres mindset is more prevalent than Pro BJP mindset...

Field Sushma as PM candidate, Digvijaya says; you better than Rahul, Sushma replies

NEW DELHI: Making a strong attack againstNarendra Modi, whom he termed a "megalomaniac psychopath liar", Congressgeneral secretary Digvijaya Singh on Sunday stoked a fresh controversy saying why can BJPnot field a "better leader" like Sushma Swaraj as its prime ministerial candidate.

Swaraj, however, was quick to dismiss Singh's comments with the retort, "Even I think Digvijaya Singhji is a better candidate than Rahul Gandhi" on 'twitter.com'.

The BJP leader's response was to a tweet by Singh in which he, while slamming Modi over his remarks that Jawaharlal Nehru did not attend the funeral of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, said "And BJP wants Indian Voters to vote for this Megalomaniac Psychopath Lier (sic)! Couldn't BJP find a better leader? What's wrong with Sushma?"

This is not the first time that Singh has called for Swaraj to be named BJP's prime ministerial candidate.

Last year as well, Singh had said it was Swaraj's "right" to be seen as a contender for the Prime Minister's chair.

"In British Parliament, the leader of opposition is considered the shadow prime minister. If we go by that system, Sushma should be the shadow PM here also. But I was surprised when Sushma declared someone else as the contender for PM ... It is your right Sushmaji," Singh had said.

Downplaying the Congress leader's comments, Swaraj had said that Singh had an old habit of creating disputes and was doing just that in the circumstances.

Contradicting Modi's alleged remarks about Nehru not having attended Patel's funeral, Singh cited the autobiography of former Prime Minister Morarji Desai saying it "confirms Nehru and Rajendra Prasad's participation at the funeral in Mumbai".

"Modi must issue a public apology! Feku at his best," he said in a tweet, which also had a link to the autobiography of Desai.

Singh was referring to a statement reportedly made by Modi in Udaipur that Nehru had not attended India's first home minister, Sardar Patel's, funeral.

^^^ Instead of offering unsolicited advise to others, Dogvijay should rather worry about his own party's campaign & blunders they are committing. Or else they will have no where to go other than escaping velocity to jupitor come 2014, lol..
 
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has strengthened its stranglehold over Chhattisgarh and pushed the Congress out of the power game. The party is on an upswing and will win 61-71 seats in the 91-member Assembly, pushing the Congress to a distant second with only 16-24 seats, according to the pre-poll survey conducted by Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) for CNN-IBN and The Week.
The survey shows that the Congress is a big loser as the party had won 38 seats in the 2008 elections, while the BJP's score was 49. The Bahujan Samaj Party may get 0-2 seats while smaller parties are likely to have a tally of 1-5 seats.

Propelled by a 6 percentage point increase in its vote share, the BJP is all set to decimate the Congress, which is facing the prospects of a 7 percentage point drop in its share. In the 2008 Assembly elections the BJP got 40.3 per cent of the votes but in October 2013 the party has the support of 46 per cent, while the Congress has slumped to 32 per cent from 38.6 per cent in the last polls.

In more good news for Chief Minister Raman Singh, pro-incumbency is the state is almost as high as 2008. Then, 51 per cent of the voters wanted to give the state government another chance, and now it is 47 per cent. Over two-thirds (66 per cent) are satisfied with the BJP government's performance, a fall of 6 points from the 2008 level. Governance, development work and food security are the main reasons cited by those who are satisfied with the Raman Singh government.

The food security law of Chhattisgarh government has benefitted many, with 80 per cent saying they receive 35 kg food grain per month at highly subsidised rates, while among the BPL households the figure is as high as 93.

Satisfaction with Raman Singh's performance as Chief Minister also continues to be very high with 69 per cent backing him. Singh remains the most preferred choice for CM, particularly among the upper castes, leading Congress leader Ajit Jogi by almost 18 percentage points .

Factionalism in Congress was also a part of the problems. More people agree than disagree with the statement that the Congress has not given Ajit Jogi the respect he deserves, and this sentiment is stronger among the traditional supporters of the party. In the event of the Congress coming to power, most want Jogi as the chief minister.

While voters see no difference between the Congress and BJP when it comes to corruption, the latter is viewed as being much better for development and for tackling Naxalism.

How Chhattisgarh is likely to vote

North Chhattisgarh (34 seats) will see a good contest between the BJP and Congress. While the BJP is ahead, the Congress is not too far behind.

But the BJP is ahead of the Congress in Central Chhattisgarh (43 seats) and South Chhattisgarh (13 seats). In the Naxalism-affected areas, too, the BJP leads the Congress, while in the other regions the ruling party is way ahead of its rival.

Madhya Pradesh is witnessing a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wave and is all set to vote in the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government for the third consecutive term according to a pre-poll survey conducted by Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) for CNN-IBN and The Week. The survey, which interviewed 2,870 persons between October 13 and 20 in 140 locations in 35 constituencies, reveals that the BJP has gained in strength in the past five years with the electorate giving a thumbs up to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. While the BJP is likely to secure 148-160 seats, Congress will win 52-62, and the Bahujan Samaj Party, 3-7. And 10-18 seats will go to other smaller parties and independents in the 230-member Assembly. In the last five years Madhya Pradesh has turned into a BJP bastion with the party widening its lead over the Congress. In the 2008 Assembly elections, the BJP secured 37.6 per cent of the votes but now it is the preferred party of 44 per cent of the electorate, which is a significant jump of 6 percentage points. While the Congress is also likely to increase its vote share from 32.4 per cent in 2008 to 33 now, the huge gap of 11 percentage points means that the BJP is miles ahead of its rival.

Even though the BJP voters are a little less sure than Congress voters about their preference, pro-incumbency is nearly as high as it was in 2008, giving Chouhan a huge advantage. Almost 53 per cent of the voters are in favour of the Chouhan government (56 in 2008) while only 20 per cent say that it should not get another chance (24 per cent in 2008).

The pro-incumbency wave is explained by the fact that satisfaction with the BJP government remains very high. It is 72 per cent in October 2013, only slightly down 76 per cent during the 2008 elections

Chouhan's performance as the Chief Minister is also rated very highly. He gets the support of 78 per cent of those surveyed, which is just three percentage points lower than in 2008.

Good governance and development, better roads, and improved power supply are the top three reasons for the vote in favour of Chouhan. He has a 24 percentage point lead over his much younger rival Jyotiraditya Scindia of the Congress. Even among first-time voters Chouhan is the preferred choice.

But Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has replaced Chouhan as the top choice for the prime minister's post, whereas in July it was the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister who had been more popular.

How the regions will vote:

Except Mahakoshal (49 seats) where the Congress has recovered and is ahead of the BJP, the latter is ahead of its rivals in all other regions of the state. In Chambal (34 seats) there is a close race between the BJP and the Congress with the BSP too in the fray is some seats. In Vindhya Pradesh (56 seats) the BJP has maintained a fair lead over the Congress while in Malwa North (63 seats) the former is way ahead of its rivals. Malwa Tribal (28 seats) will see a close fight and even though the BJP is ahead, the Congress is not far behind.

As for caste equations, the BJP is the preferred choice of Brahmins, Rajputs, other upper castes and Yadavs. Among the other backward castes both the BJP and Congress are gaining at the expense of other parties, but the former is slightly ahead. Among the Scheduled Castes, the stock of the Congress has declined and the BJP has taken the lead. The Congress has slipped but still leads BJP among Scheduled Tribes. For Muslim voters the Congress is still the top choice, but the BJP has managed to make inroads.

BJP is also perceived more positively than Congress; despite not being in power in the state, the Congress is viewed as a more corrupt party than the BJP.

Your can directly blame Advani and Sushma Swaraj for creating such a situation.

Of course the media will be quick to blame Narendra Modi for this defeat. LOL. You can bet your bottom rupee on that. :cool:

Not gonna get majority if intense campaigning does not start. AAP is seriously denting BJP's vote bank. I have seen some of my own relatives turning towards AAP as BJP is still not able to get its message through.

That is right. The media (with necessary congress encouragement) is pro AAP and Anti BJP so they will do their best to defeat BJP. In urban centers, Media plays a much larger role.

That is also the congress game plan. They know they cannot win Delhi, the second best thing for them is to dilute BJP in Delhi and claim moral victory. That is where the whole thing is heading.
