Is Modi turning Kerala politics upside down?
Is the tide turning for BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in the state that it is least expected to? The endorsement of the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate by clerics of two big churches in Kerala is prompting speculation over how well the BJP could do in the state in 2014. In a week, Modi has received the stamp of approval from two churches in Kerala, institutions that traditionally don't endorse the BJP in any way. "Followers of the Jacobite faction in Kerala do not have any problems with Modi. We also have believers in Gujarat. They too don’t have any difficulties with Modi. In fact, they applaud his developmental efforts," Thomas Mar Timotheos, metropolitan of the Kottayam diocese of the church, was quoted as saying in a Telegraph report.

Earlier the Gujarat chief minister had received a stamp of approval from Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church Baselios Mar Thoma Paulose II, but the religious leader subsequently withdrew his statement.

The endorsement of the priests needn't make a major difference for Modi in a state that has traditionally never given the BJP a single representative in Parliament. If anything it could result in the Congress wooing them more aggressively, which they wouldn't complain about either. With the BJP evidently going all out to woo even churches for support for its Prime Ministerial candidate, it remains to be seen if endorsements will translate into any votes for the party.

Two Independent Lok Sabha members join BJP ahead of polls
NEW DELHI: BJP got a shot in the arm today with two sitting Independent members of the Lok Sabha from Bihar- Putul Kumari and Om Prakash Yadav, joining the party ahead of the general elections.
Putul Kumari, who became MP from Banka constituency in November, 2010 after her husband and sitting MP Digvijay Singh expired- joined the BJP in the presence of party president Rajnath Singh.
Another first time MP- Om Prakash Yadav who represents Siwan in the Lok Sabha also joined the BJP.After its alliance with JD(U) broke in Bihar, BJP has been engaged in strengthening its cadre and presence in the state.
With BJP's prospects arguably on the rise, political leaders from various states have sent overtures to the party to join it ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. The party is likely to induct some more leaders in the coming days, sources said. Welcoming the two MPs to the BJP, Rajnath Singh said people are unhappy with the Congress and want a change of government.
"Congress has also accepted the fact that it will lose the Lok Sabha elections. As I said at our party conclave, Congress will indulge in all kinds of activities in its bid to prevent BJP from coming to power," Singh said. He claimed that BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is the most popular leader in the country today.

Bhai how to open this links
I just can't see TMC and BJP working together, nor do I want them to. Not to forget TMC relies heavily on Muslim votebank.
BJP+BJD alliance is quite possible.
Its a tweet, not a web link. You can just click on the time+date when it was posted.
