The people who were arguing that the Modi Magic has died in the Gujarat Assembly elections since he couldn't touch the 117 figure mark as last time must be hiding somewhere now --------> He has 119 after this bypolls.

This is classic. A fitting reply to all those who offer their unsolicited advise to people of Gujarat & show their concern in Modi's rule!

You are absolutely RIGHT brother.....

People have the DEMOCRATIC right to ELECT whomsoever they deemed FIT to do the JOB.

No Party/Leader/Social Worker/ETC. has the RIGHT to QUESTION the JUDGEMENT of an average citizen.

People often say that EVEN Hitler came through BALLOT, but my only advise to them would be to read the HISTORY again.

Hitler never came with a MAJORITY (forget 2/3rd majority), HE BECAME THE CHANCELLOR on TECHNICALITIES.

You just have to chk this out:

Adolf Hitler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chk the table in the section - Rise to Power.

When he became President, he got only 37% votes & than he took complete control of power.

The normal Delhite is fickle..upper middle class is generally congressi...opinionated and does not care much for anything other then the 24 hours electricity we have in certain areas..Sheila madam is smart..she makes sure that we..the well off never suffer..so funds pour in..big campaigns are run and Congress gets a leg up. As far as AAP is concerned..for some its a fad of sorts..a badge of patriotism.. misplaced as it might be. But when we're done with our venti lattes we wanna show others around us that we "still care" and want to "give back to the less fortunate" by "ensuring clean and proper governance and administration." I heard my friend say that he'd vote cong coz their business friendly policies helped bring in starbucks to India and specially Delhi. Unless a radical shift occurs to shake us out..OR the Congress obliges us with at least 2-3 more major scandals nothings gonna change for the better. Thankfully the Congress is ever ready as far as the latter is concerned.

About Gmail..sorry man..been coming online sporadically..had a nasty injury and mom's just had a surgery so its been hectic.

Disillusioned myself..with Advani's machinations..way to go..to stab one's own candidate in the back man..he knows he can't manipulate Modi and be PM by proxy..I didn't expect him to try and ape Sonia.

200 million Indians have no faith in Narendra Modi: Union minister K Rahman Khan - The Times of India

NEW DELHI: Minority affairs minister K Rahman Khan said "200 million Indians" lack confidence in Narendra Modi, indicating that the Gujarat CM's projection as PM could lend a strong "communal vs. secular" tone to the 2014 campaign.

Khan, alluding to skepticism among Muslims and minorities for Modi, said, "To be PM, you need the confidence of all. But here, 200 million people have no faith in you (Modi). You are not willing to accept that Gujarat riots were bad."

Khan said leading a country requires accepting mistakes that Modi is averse to. "There were 1984 riots. Congress leadership apologized for it many times," he told TOI in an interview.

The criticism seeking to question Modi's post-Godhra development pitch signals the Hindutva hardliner's ascendancy may not restrain Congress in the polls. A section of the ruling camp feels BJP's gains from Modi's polarizing image would be outweighed by its alliance troubles and Muslim counter mobilization to stall the saffron march.

Khan denied the Gujarat leader would pose a threat to Congress that has the "confidence of all groups". He said, "Modi won't be the PM. The fact is Indians don't like extremism, they don't want any divide on religious and caste lines."

As the suspense over Modi's leadership unfolds in Goa, there are signs of Congress's bid to undercut his positioning as "development man". Finance minister P Chidambaram's challenge at the meeting on internal security on Wednesday that Modi spell out if he wants to bring back POTA-TADA appeared aimed at minorities.

Latching on to BJP veteran L K Advani's recent statement, Khan said Gujarat was always a developed state and Congress governments of the past deserved credit for it. "His development claim is superficial," he claimed.

E Ahamed, Union minister and Muslim League chief, said Modi would not succeed in his objective of wooing Hindus. "Secularism is a contribution of the majority community to India. They want India to be secular in the modern world that is worthy of emulation by other countries. Modi has shown he is against this noble principle that Indians are proud of," he told TOI.

The comments from UPA's Muslim mascots, while betraying a willingness in the ruling camp to risk "secularism vs. communalism" clash, aims to put pressure on saffron ally with "secular" claims like JD(U) to come good on its threat to pullout of NDA while keeping Trinamool and BJD away from it.

Congress strategists believe that Modi's pronounced leadership would polarize Muslims in favour of the party better placed to stop the NDA. In such a scenario, Congress's position would be strengthened in states like Uttar Pradesh where it is vying with "secular" forces like the Samajwadi Party for minority votes.

I'm sure more that 200 million have no faith in Mr.Modi. I'm also sure that an equal number or more have no faith in the Congress leaders and I'm sure that an absolute majority of Indians have no faith in such clownish politicians who have arrogated to themselves that power to speak for a community.

what congress apolozised for 84 riots?? Still no conviction and culprits are roaming freely while in Gujarat hundreds of hindus are serving life imprisonment and death sentence for riots.....purely double standard BS article!!
What about Bhagalpur riots? Assam riots? Gujarat 1969 riots?Hashimpura riots? Sikh riots? I dare those who support congress to explain these above mentioned riots....I can list many more.

 

[kaykay]

some riots which happened during congress rule.
-1989 Bhagalpur riots(900 muslims killed/1000 total).
-sikh riots(everybody know about this.)
-1969 gujarat riots(more than 500 muslim killed).
-Assam riots(thousands dead).
-hashimpura riots(40 killed).
anyone want more?? i can list many more.

 

[kaykay]

quoting from Bhagalpur riots...
"Sinha also stated that after being dismissed as the Chief Minister, he informed Rajiv Gandhi about the "role of some Congress leaders" in the riots.[12] The Muslims in Bihar had traditionally served as a Congress (I) vote bank, but after the 1989 violence,they shifted their loyalty to Lalu Prasad Yadav, who became the Chief Minister of the state in 1990.

2014 Lok Sabha polls: Big losses to UPA, no gain for NDA, survey finds

The UPA is likely to come a cropper in the next Lok Sabha elections with the Congress tally getting almost halved.

The poll, done by CVoter for the TV channel, suggests that the biggest gainers could be regional parties like the SP, Trinamool Congress, AIADMK and YSR Congress, leaving them and others like the BSP, BJD and Left in a position to determine who forms the next government.

Well, I think this is accurate enough, notwithstanding what the congressis say!
