Indian General Elections - 2014

Whom will you Vote for in 2014 General Elections??


  • Total voters
    129
If you believe that I or anyone else must vote for a corrupt person simply because he belongs to the BJP, then I'm afraid it is your compass that is twisted. In any case, I will vote on parameters decided by me & you will do so on yours. It is a very odd logic that believes that Modi will run a corruption free government on the backs of the support of corrupt people.

why not ? after all both are corrupt (according to you) though admittedly NDA is seen as lesser of two evils....... in the case of UPA, the head is also rotten....while in case of NDA atleast Modi is clean and decisive and there are no allegations of corruption even against most of their senior leadership.....and UPA has already effed up two terms.....so naturally, if one votes on basis of governance and perfomance, the choice this time should logically be NDA.....if not, then its clear that its not perfomance and integrity that is the deciding factor, but other idealogical reasons in which case the whole point of not voting for BJP because they did not perform is moot........see ultimately its ur choice...no two views about that.....but just that if someone claims to vote on basis of perfomance then the scale must be consistent both in state and central elections.....

That is a never ending argument. It could be argued that the NDA were reaping the benefits of the actions of the Congress government of PV Narsimha Rao. The NDA did do very well during the Vajpayee years but credit also goes to UPA1.
.

no..most of the divestment, liberalization were specifically started during the NDA regime...nothing from narasimha rao regime....allmost all the good work from pvnr regime were messed up in three years of third front rule......
 
Don't know much on Indian democratic setup but would like to educate myself......i am a bit amazed seeing the poll results no matter even if it represents a fraction of Indians on this forum, my question is this how come Congress is so unpopular specially against BJP...........is it because of Rahul Gandhi?
From an outsider point of view, Congress under the leadership of Manmohan Singh (forgive me if i spell him wrong) has given India the economic rise, made India an accepted nuclear power while keeping outside of NPT and other treaties. What is the decision factor that Indians are looking for in the upcoming elections? Anyone?

The problem is not the Congress Party...rather the dynastic approch of Gandhi Familly...To be honest Indira Gandhi was the last genuine leader from Gandhi Familly, after her rest of the people does not possess any leadership quality...
Now coming to the question of MMS, I still rate MMS as a good person, but again..Congress does not run by any one except Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi...So this is so unfortunate that for country with 12o crore, Congress like old political party can find a leader from the masses rather depending on dynastic politics..

NARENDRA MODI @ 76% CHOICE OF INDIANS.

NITISH KUMAR ONLY 2%
 
the central leadership is getting changed now....the delhi-4 is fighting to retain its old primacy with the advent of modi and rajnath singh.....

Rajnath Singh is not someone I rate very high. In any case, apart from Modi, who do you think will be running the central government? Confidence in the abilities of the present generation of front line BJP politicians is hardly inspiring.


apart from that...i will repeat......your logic essentially means you are settling for the lesser of the two evils based on perfomance (congress) in karnataka.....so if an uniform metric is to be followed then the lesser of the two evils at the moment in New Delhi is NDA....so naturally the choice must be them for lok sabha....thats the whole point.....

I'm not sure that the NDA is necessarily the lesser evil. I have reservations about the economic policies, especially with the way the BJP has opposed the UPA policies including FDI in retail, I have issues with their stance on the Nuke deal and I certainly have grave reservations about any religion driven antics, either on the Ram Temple or any other. However the most important factor that I would have to consider is whether the BJP has any real chance of forming the government with the NDA given its present position. Contrary to what a lot of you think, the BJP is extremely poorly placed to win any general elections. Simple arithmetic calculations of the seats will make that apparent. My biggest worry is that of both the BJP & the Congress doing poorly (extremely likely) and some hotchpotch 3rd front government being formed. That will be a disaster of epic proportions.

I have asked before & I will ask again. How does the BJP get to the magic figure? I simply see no way. Whether or not the BJP gets my vote, they will lose Karnataka badly in the LS elections & that loss will pretty much offset any gains they make elsewhere. If they do form a minority government with the help of allies like Jayalalitha, Mamata & Mayawati (and they will need all three), then only the hopelessly optimistic will imagine that Modi or anyone else will be in a position to do anything.
 

This is what it says


Bangaloreans may well tell Janaagraha, a city-based NGO, “we know”. In a survey conducted across eleven tier 1 and tier 2 cities whose results were announced last week, Bangalore was ranked ninth in terms of quality of life. The survey rated the cities on parameters like cleanliness, water, mobility system, public amenities, crime, greenery and pollution control and Bangalore fared well in none.

And the buck had to stop at the BJP table for more reasons than one. Apart from being the party in power, the BJP virtually controls Bangalore, with 112 of the 198 corporators and 3 MPs and 17 MLAs from the city.
When Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar in his capacity as the Convenor of the Agenda for Bengaluru Infrastructure and Development Task Force (ABIDe) suggested to the BJP government that all projects relating to construction of roads in the city should be given by a transparent process to leading infrastructure giants and that they should be asked to maintain them as well, a senior minister asked him : “Then what will our corporators do?”

All over Karnataka, 11 lakh acres of government land worth 1 lakh 95000 crore rupees was encroached upon, making it a scam bigger than 2G. But soon after Balasubramanian put out these startling facts in the public domain in his report aptly titled ‘Greed and Connivance’, his Task Force was wound up on the instructions of the then Karnataka Revenue minister Karunakar Reddy, one of the Bellary brothers.


It is in this context that the election on May 5 becomes all the more important. The mood on the street – from M G Road to Banashankari, from Koramangala to Malleswaram – is one of anger and anguish
 
if I was indian id vote for Congress as they have been giving most development to india, and also secularism, which Hindu radical parties like BJP failed to give
as a indian minority its was our tradition to always vote for congress ,but this time better i vote for hindu radical bjp not because i like them but because i like their leader,and **** u congress

wtf!

I tried to post the following comment in response to a comment by another fellow that upon hearing the news about Tytler there would be some people who would also demand Modi's resignation :-

"There are some who are so inundated by false equivalency that they will try. Let us not forget that Modi was scrutinized by the SIT, a task force appointed by the Union government itself- the same government which despises Modi with such passion, and yet the SIT found that Modi was reasonably not guilty at least according to the evidence at hand. It is facetious and moreover deliberately malignant to equate Modi with Ttyler, Tytler being the person who was exonerated by the CBI due to the largess of the Congress towards its own. Perhaps Modi is guilty but he underwent intense scrutiny whereas Tytler was shielded, at the least he needs to be tried even if the powers that be may eventually save him."

TOI barred me from posting it citing that it involved INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT, yaaron ek bar copy karke TOI ke comments section me post karke dekho and see if you guys get the same result.
