Thanks @kurup wonder how do we do that???
@Abingdonboy @sancho mates, why didn't you voted in the Poll??
Your Opinion is the MOST BALANCED & MOST RATIONAL among all Indians here, would have been better if we can know your Political Stand.
Thanks In Advance
Thirdly, I am not an Indian citizen and as such I cannot and will not be voting in the general elections come 2014 so my opinion and beliefs are entirely irrelevant.
@Abingdonboy In this Poll people across the border VOTED so that they can some how INFLUENCE the real elections.
They look more worried about who will Indians elect than the Indians themselves.
Even when they will have NO SAY in the real elections.
I am sure that considering this, I reserve the right to ask the OPINIONS of People of Indian Origin (as they are more Indian than people across the borders).
As is the case, this poll & this thread will have minimal effect on the real elections, but what we want here is a Healthy discussion/debate/Opinions, so that Indians can make up there mind as to whom they want to elect.
I don't want to counter you on your Preferences as this is your Democratic CHOICE, i just wanted to know the opinions of more Mature Indian members here, which i think i got, Thanks for that.
@Abingdonboy I understand your dilemma, but all i wanted to say is that every one deserves a SECOND CHANCE, one can't accuse a person of something for lifelong (this when no Court have found him guilty), even Congress Got Second (even third, fourth, etc.) chances after 1984, this when the PM of India at that time openly said that "Earth Shakes when a Huge tree falls". We may never know exactly what happened in 2002, but we can't take it's burden for all time. Modi (if elected) will have to be many times more careful in his dealings than any other party leader since not just Indian eyes but even the World eyes would be closely monitoring his each & every move, believe me, He would have to act more SECULAR than the so called SECULARISTS themselves, b'coz he knows very well that one mistake & his Political career would be FINISHED. Not just that, he will make all chances of a BJP comeback NIL for atleast a decade & half. (this is just my opinion)Fair enough @arp2041. But even if I wanted to vote on the poll, I couldn't. Like I said- I'm still complelty on the fence about the whole thing and would like certain things to become clearer before I make up my mind one way or another.
The real world is a different place. How is one expected to vote in Karnataka? Vote for Modi? How? By voting for the most corrupt bunch of people that Karnataka has ever seen? No matter what Modi's personal popularity is, the BJP has committed suicide in Karnataka and considering that they gave the BJP 19 seats in the last elections, that is nothing short of a major disaster for the BJP & Mr. Modi if he wishes to be PM.
As an Indian citizen, not wanting to vote for BJP in Karnataka, who would you vote for, if not BJP?
In Karnataka? Certainly for the Congress. No other option. I was speaking about the later LS elections where even if one wanted to vote for Modi, there is way too much baggage of the state BJP for it to work.
Why?
Is Congress clean in Karnataka?
