i respect ur choice in karnataka.....but should not that logic be applied at the center and the default vote go to bjp where no other party has been this bad and never this irresponsible like the congress........

yeddy wll be back in bjp if the d-4 of bjp is sidelined........


@Abingdonboy

Additionally I have my reservations on him by the fact that under him Gujarat is under prohibition. I don't want him to come into office and then embark upon a moral-policing drive across India. This is not what 21st century India needs.

dudeeee...prohibition has been place in gujarat not because of modi....but because of gandhiji.........:cheesy: why blame modi for that ? what other "iinstance" of moral policing have u come across ? infact read the madhu kishwar article on how he is dead opposed to groups like VHP in gujarat and has completely sidelined them.......

I see.
You are taking refuge in being selective in wordings, little short of saying you are juggling with words.
But never mind. lets come to facts.

To start with:

Congress in Karnataka hit by floods scam by This is Karnataka : Naheed Ataulla's blog-The Times Of India
 
yeddy wll be back in bjp if the d-4 of bjp is sidelined........

Why? To fight corruption in the centre with the help of corrupt, indicted by lokayukta chaps like Yeddy? :lol:

To your other point, you still have to vote the same corrupt bunch here if you want to vote for the BJP. It is not like they are bringing in any fresh faces. This is the most cynical, corrupt, shameless bunch of politicians that Karnataka has ever seen.

I am aware sir, however Modi has been CM for 3 terms now and the policy in still in place. He's apparently "business-minded" and Prohibition is a major "turn-off" for foreign visitors and by extension foreign investment. If he had wanted to lift it I'm sure he would/could have.

Not juggling. Made myself very clear. The BJP is in power now, they have run the most corrupt government in Karnataka's history. If the Congress(or the JD(S)) is corrupt, guess the people of Karnataka will have to deal with them in the next election. Just because you have a particular preference, doesn't mean one should vote for this shameless, corrupt bunch. Opinion polls already suggest a BJP debacle and that is what it will be.

foreigners can have alchohol.......

and you have to understand that this is a sentimental issue for gujaratis being the land of Gandhi and all......

but i agree that prohibition should be lifted in gujarat.....

my only point is he did no start that.....and he has not embarked on anything that can be called "moral policing"......people have a very wrong perception on modi....thanks to 24*7 propaganda by media......

the media is so modi-phobic that yesterday after ficci speech the media was discussing not the content of his speech....but rather concentrated on his adrressingg the ladies there as "maa- bhen"...:lol:

u did not answer my point......

you said ur default vote will go to congress/jd(s) since the bjp has failed to perform in karnataka...i respect that......but then the current central govt is the most corrupt and shameless in recent memory....definitely worse than the nda regime....so should not the default vote for "lok sabha" (not karnataka state assembly) go to NDA ?

u still can have a congress govt in state and nda govt in center.....

Possible but unlikely. It did happen for Vajpayee but the people of Karnataka has a special relationship with him. Not so clear this time.

Yeddy will damage BJP but the BJP would still lose with or without Yeddy.

there was not much damage in the local body elections.....

Arun Jaitley warns BJP elevation of Narendra Modi may help Cong win votes

Amidst a rising clamour for projecting Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as the party’s prime ministerial candidate, the BJP has been weighing Modi’s rising popularity against his potential to polarise the electorate.

It is at this juncture that senior party leader Arun Jaitley is learnt to have cautioned party leaders against the Congress’s trap to polarise Muslim support to its advantage during his address to BJP national office-bearers and state unit chiefs on Sunday.

Sources who were present at the meeting said Jaitley pointed out that in several states it was the regional parties who had more influence among the Muslim support base than the Congress. As a natural corollary, these parties should get more Muslim support during the elections.

But Jaitley fears that the Congress may polarise the electorate in the run-up to polls. In this context, Jaitley was learnt to have highlighted the good show by the Congress in Uttar Pradesh during the 2009 elections.

Sources said he reasoned that the Congress managed to rally Muslim support base in Terai region, an area with substantial Muslim population and closer to Ayodhya, in the state as it won 21 seats. Incidentally, the BJP had projected L K Advani, whose Rath Yatra for a temple at Ayodhya had polarised the state more than a decade ago, as its prime ministerial candidate in the last election.

Apprehending that the Congress may again do so, the BJP leader was learnt to have cautioned party leaders not get provoked by the ruling party’s attempts and continue its tirade against the Congress for its alleged misgovernance.

Given the fact that Advani was the original polariser of the BJP and Modi emerged as a new polarising figure a decade latter, Jaitley’s remarks evoked curiousity within the party. However, sources sought to assert that his remarks were not aimed at any particular person but more against the Congress’ design. “His remarks on this issue were not against any person’s polarising potential. It was against Congress’ trick to polarise the electorate. He cautioned party leaders to be aware of this old Congress trick of polarisation and avoid getting into this trap,” said a source.

The day-long strategy meeting finalised a six-month programme to reach out to electorate with an eye on early elections. Meanwhile, on Monday, the party indicated that it will begin candidate selection process from second half of May after Karnataka elections get over.

PM aspirant no 3 raised his voice ,he is concerned of Muslim vote consolidation ....

Very hard to believe. Arun Jaitely is one of the biggest supporter of NaMo

Theoretically you are correct but the BJP representatives for the LS are part of the same corrupt bunch who looted Karnataka, so how do you vote for them to get a supposedly clean government at the centre.

It also goes beyond corruption, the BJP in Karnataka have disgraced themselves every which way and were very incompetent in governance. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Almost all of Karnataka thinks nostalgically of S.M.Krishna's government. That says everything.

as i said i respect ur choice abt congress in karnataka....i hear some very good things about the bjp governance under shettar...but as i said lets forget about the vidhan sabha elections.... the point im raising is whether ur experience of bjp (as perceived by you) in state going to affect ur choice in the center where we have the most notoriously corrupt and inept regiime in recent memory stumbling towards the finish line with absolutely nothing to show for ?

the ls elections are about who would give a good governance in center...so should you not vote out congress from the center while at the same time voting in congress,which u see as lesser evil, in karnataka ?

i think you would agree with me when i say the nda regime was much more performing than the current upa regime.....

it would sound hypocritical to vote out bjp because they did not perform, bu again vote for congress since all are same....why not apply the "all are same" princi and vote for bjp.....

Very hard to believe. Arun Jaitely is one of the biggest supporter of NaMo

dude read the link...it all conjecture.......he did not say anything the media is attributing to him......

it might also be in reference to the recent advani statement that "remember ayodhya with pride" or the loony statements from the likes of togadia.........

this is why i say media is the one of the biggest enemy of this country....
