Rahul’s speechwriters made him look like an ill-prepared management consultant. He wants to “unlock value’ (out of what we don’t know). He wants to create “open political architecture” that is accessible to every Indian. Would that open up politics as a career option for the hoi polloi or make politicians more accessible? We don’t know. What precisely do phrases such as empowerment, structural change and giving people a voice mean? Maybe someday, his speechwriters will care to educate us. Even when he wasn’t reading from a piece of paper, and was posed two pointed questions on centre-state relationship, and the country’s water crisis he responded with some zoological insights. For the most part he had the manner of a call centre executive who has the same stock answer for every poser. Only in the tele-caller’s case you bang the phone on her. Rahul is called a visionary.
@jha @Mritunjaya
even now in Karnataka all is not lost.
Yeddy has been sending regular signals that he is willing to come back to BJP or have an alliance with it if the Delhi gang of BJP is cut to size. He has also said the "real BJP is the BJP of Modi, Chauhan, Raman Singh, Parrikar " etc which clearly shows his issue is not with BJP but with certain individuals in it.
I feel Yeddy as a mass vote grabber is mroe important than people like Venkaiah Naidu, Ananth Kumar or even Jaitely who have no mass base.
There are some rumors going on in twitter that Sachin Tendulkar has plans to join Congress...
Sachin please dont do that and loose your respect for money.
Apart from the riots,
Modi has actually done some development in Gujarat.
If he`s not a religious freak or extremist then he could turn out to be a gem for India and the development in the country.
Oh okay..
Lets hope he`s a good one.
I hope he and InshAllah Imran Khan as our next PMs can build a good Pak-Ind relation.
Peace is the way forward!
NEW DELHI: Aligarh Muslim University Students' Union (AMUSU) president Shahzad Alam on Sunday alleged he was suspended a day before at the behest of the Congress after he refused to join the party.
Alam claimed vice-chancellor Zameer Ud din Shah had asked him to join the Congress ahead of Union minister Jitin Prasada's AMU visit on Friday. "Since the president (Alam) refused to join the party, the vice-chancellor with Prasada and the Congress's consent suspended him on the day of the minister's arrival,'' an AMUSU press release said. The AMUSU urged the administration to publicize the CCTV footage of Alam's meeting with Shah as evidence.
Alam said Shah had earlier in February pressurised him not to oppose Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's visit to AMU. He accused Shah of "misusing the University for fulfilling the Congress agenda ahead of the Lok Sabha polls''. Alam said he had evidence that it was being done for "the requirements of Sonia and her son Rahul Gandhi''.
He questioned whether Shah was AMUSU patron or a Congress "mouthpiece" and why only Congress leaders were invited to the University.
The AMUSU accused Shah of "malign(ing) the sanctified image of the varsity''. It said he had been asking its office bearers to join the Congress to further "his vested interest''.
But AMU public relations officer Rahat Abrar rubbished Alam's allegations and said he has a long record of indiscipline for which he had been repeatedly warned. "He was suspended for his unruly behaviour and disrupting a function in Prasada's presence while the national anthem and the University tarana were being played,'' he said. He said Alam was first warned on February 28 that his "unlawful activities and breach of discipline'' were unbecoming as a student and an AMUSA officer bearer.
Abrar said he had earlier led a "violent mob that attacked Shah's car'' on March 23. "Prasada had nothing to do with what the AMUSU is alleging and that he was in Aligarh to launch a website, release a journal and inaugurate a Badminton Hall.''
But Alam said Shah had prevented them from raising issues related to AMU's minority character and Muslim reservation with the minister, the issues for which they have been elected. "The questions we tried to raise are detrimental to the Congress.''

When you go to bed tonight, you can be sure of waking up to a cacophony on your TV screen that would easily eclipse the IPL fireworks. Expect another blitzkrieg from Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi on Monday, this time at a Ficci meeting in Delhi.
Modi will be taking the stage just weeks after storming back into the BJP's parliamentary board and just days after the surprise show on a CII stage by the usually reticent Rahul Gandhi. That should be inspiration enough for Modi to deliver a power-packed speech at his dream destination — the Dilli Durbar.
BJP leaders should be panting in anticipation at Modi's counter to Gandhi. But would they be? Far from it. Truth is the Modi bluster is not music to the ears of the BJP brass because it complicates the party's urgency to project a cohesive leadership and rope in more allies to expand the NDA and take on the Congress-led UPA in the approaching elections.
For once, the BJP leadership is scenting power in Delhi given the multiple crises and image meltdown of the UPA. Yet, Modi's unprecedented and aggressive projection of himself as prime minister-inwaiting is creating a simmering tension among BJP leaders, rifts with existing allies and roadblocks to roping in new pre-poll partners. The irony is that Modi is also BJP's most visible, popular and successful leader. In other words, Modi poses a problem and opportunity for the BJP.
Look at the bundle of conflicts within the BJP. When Modi was brought back into the BJP's parliamentary board, his camp painted the town red by projecting it as a decisive step towards him becoming the NDA's candidate for prime minister. The attitude of other BJP leaders couldn't have been more different. They chose to play it down as an unrealistic and avoidable hype. After all, Modi was only back where he was six years ago — as one of the 12 members in the parliamentary board.
LARGER GAME PLAN
Party sources familiar with the BJP's innards helped dissect the larger politics in the organisational reshuffle. According to them, for every gain cornered by Modi, his rivals forced him to concede in equal measure. While Modi has definitely tightened his grip in the BJP central leadership in the reshuffle, it also marked the re-emergence of the never-say-die LK Advani as a rallying counter force with the backing of the likes of Sushma Swaraj, Ananth Kumar, anti-Modi RSS sections, much to the dismay of the Modi camp made up of Arun Jaitley, Yashwant Sinha, Amit Shah and Smriti Irani, among others.
Modi forced himself as the only CM in the parliamentary board by checkmating Advani's push for Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan. He also got confidant Amit Shah, out on bail in a fake-encounter case, named as party general secretary.
But Advani exacted a few decisions for himself from party president Rajnath Singh: his and RSS' nominee Murlidhar Rao was made general secretary (GS). He also ensured Ananth Kumar remained as GS and Uma ****** became a vice-president. The Advani camp, along with Singh and Nitin Gadkari, also backed Varun Gandhi's elevation as GS. The Advani camp also ambushed the Modi-Jaitley push to make Smriti Irani general secretary, forcing her to settle for the less important vice-president's post.
SWITCHING SIDES
If Jaitley had earlier allied with Gadkari to deny Swaraj backer SS Ahluwalia a re-nomination to the Rajya Sabha, this time she had the support of Advani in ensuring that Ahluwallia was made vice-president. They also ousted Modi-Jaitley backer Navjot Singh Sidhu from the organisational setup. On his part, Jaitley managed to retain Dharmendra Pradhan as general secretary and Anurag Thakur as youth wing chief. Yashwant Sinha ended up with no post.
Equally interesting was the tact of Rajnath Singh in humouring the two groups by positioning himself as a neutral leader, a potential consensus candidate, if the need arises. While Singh tactically "gave into" the rival pushes, he deftly propped up his own supporters while retaining the goodwill of RSS and support of ex-party bosses, MM Joshi and Venkaiah Naidu. Insiders say another significant consequence of these inner machinations is Advani, RSS chief Mohan Bhagawat and Gadkari moving closer. This despite Advani having single-handedly mobilised resistance against a second term for RSS-backed Gadkari as party chief.
While some project Advani's reasserting role as a sign of his lingering prime ministerial ambition, others say the veteran is using his stature to act as a corrective force. He stood up to the RSS when he understood that the Nagpur bosses' open micromanagement of BJP affairs was stunting the party's growth beyond its core saffron constituency. He blocked Gadkari when he became a liability. Many recall how Advani, BJP's original hard-liner, tactically sacrificed his own interest to let the "liberal" Vajpayee lead the party to victory with many allies. Advani, they say, is now firmly resisting Modi's all-out attempt to impose a personality cult at a time when many RSS and BJP leaders are just as wary of it. There are two reasons: first, they think Modi's polarising persona could politically isolate or limit BJP's reach — think Nitish Kumar — and help Congress to replay the unifying secular card; second, Modi's record of banishing or cutting down to size rivals in the party in Gujarat.
As Modi prepares "to repay his debt to the nation", his real challenge will be winning the acceptability test within his party and among the BJP's present and potential allies. Only then can Modi hope to fight a Gandhi-led Congress.
