BJP LS candidates from my constituencies are Narendra Modi(Vadodara) and Kalraj Mishra(Deoria). Both are 100% to win.

NK Singh quits Nitish Kumar's party, will join BJP

New Delhi: The BJP is having a politically expedient Friday.

It confirmed this morning that it has acquired Satpal Maharaj, a powerful leader from Uttarakhand who spent more than 20 years with the Congress. Tomorrow, it is likely to formally welcome NK Singh, who has quit the Janata Dal (United) or JD(U) today.

Mr Singh, 73, told NDTV today that since JDU leader and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar ended his alliance with the BJP, last year the focus has shifted from governance and development to "survival."

Mr Kumar's break-up with the BJP will cost him heavily in the national election, according to NDTV's opinion poll, which forecasts him winning just five of the state's 40 seats, as against 20 in the last election.

Mr Singh joined the JD(U) in 2008. Before that, his career as a top bureaucrat included assignments as Revenue Secretary, member of the Planning Commission and secretary to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Two months ago, the Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar did not renominate Mr Singh for another term to the Rajya Sabha. Instead, he was asked to run for Parliament from the Banka constituency, a proposal Mr Singh rejected.

By moving to the BJP, Mr Singh will be spraying salt liberally on an open wound for the chief minister. Last year, Mr Singh drafted the formal announcement read out by Mr Kumar when he ended his 17-year alliance with the BJP over its decision to promote Narendra Modi to the top spot in its campaign for the national election. Mr Kumar says that the Gujarat riots in 2002 took place on Mr Modi's watch and the fact that hundreds of Muslims were killed establishes the BJP leader as a divisive politician.

A Supreme Court inquiry has cleared Mr Modi, finding no evidence that he fuelled the violence.

@jha How significant a blow is this for Nitish Kumar... & will he be of any use to BJP?

he might win but mostly riding on modi wave

Oh well.. it's the numbers that counts for BJP in this elections, so be it! Since he is the sitting MP.. it's only logical that he gets another term, unless they could find someone better than him!

is he fighting a lost cause.. you reckon?

Yes.. He is too arrogant to win this time..

Wont have any impact other than probably an embarrassing situation to be in. This fellow had drafted the speech for Nitish when he broke the alliance.

Andhra Pradesh's 'Dabangg' likely to meet Narendra Modi in Ahmedabad today | NDTV.com

Who is this Pawan Kalyan..? Any good for BJP..?

Aisi gaali doge to hum bhi chup nahin rahenge.. Khaanti Bihari hain..

BJP does not have any significant presence in AP, so anybody joining it will be good.

Pavan Kalyan is brother of Actor and congress MP Chiranjeevi. AP is a highly casteist society similar to UP and as a Kapu leader all Kapu votes go to him. That is about 27% of the population of Seemadhara.

Chiranjeevi appear to be hedging his bet. He merged Praja Rajyam with congress only to see congress split AP. Congress has no future in Seemadhara and he now wants to relaunch his political career in seemadhara. Jana Sena lead by pawan kalyan seems to be a proxy for Chiranjeevi.

It's certainly good news for BJP in AP.

wow... & now he is planning to join the same party? Just goes to show... self interest & political survival makes people talk gibberish. When push comes to shove, everything takes a 360 degree turn!

This has always been a worry. Then again.. I don't think other political parties are equipped take advantage of the situation. BJP just needs to give a massive push just a week before the elections!

So in future Chiranjeevi may also join BJP..? This is some good news for BJP. BJP stands to gain a solid foothold in Seemandhra.

What about the Ex-CM Kiran Reddy..? If he also joins, BJP may get some Reddy votes too..

wow... & now he is planning to join the same party? Just goes to show... self interest & political survival makes people talk gibberish. When push comes to shove, everything takes a 360 degree turn!

Yes.. Nitish is taking JD-U down with him. His only election plank is development. Even that seems hollow now. He still has formidable support in Bihar but decision to split NDA may cost him a lot.

In last meeting some serious difference was reported between Nitish and Sharad Yadav. Sharad Yadav wanted to contest from Madhepura but Nitish wanted him to contest from elsewhere. Nitish finally relented. Sharad Yadav reportedly was not in favor of souring relation with BJP like this. But Nitish kept abusing BJP in the meetings and now there is no scope of BJP-JDU alliance with Nitish in it.

Sushil Kumar Shinde meets 2G accused Shahid Balwa, courts controversy

New Delhi:

In new trouble for the Congress, its minister Sushil Kumar Shinde met Shahid Balwa, an accused in the 2G scam, at his office in New Delhi on Friday.

Balwa, the promoter of DB Royalty, said that he met Shinde in connection with an old RTI application pending before the Home Ministry.

Shinde too confirmed the reports. "Yes, he met me. He wanted my intervention in some matter. I told him if enquiry is on against you, I can't intervene. In any case, I told him to come back after 29th since I am leaving for my constituency now," he said.

Balwa is out on bail in a serious corruption case and the Home Minister's meeting with him may land the latter in a soup.

While there is no legal bar on such meetings, it would be morally incorrect on Shinde's part to meet him, say experts.

Former Home Secretary RK Singh had alleged that Shinde saved Balwa in an IPL betting scam. "Shinde prevented Delhi Police from interrogating a businessman in the IPL match fixing case. Agencies suspect this businessman has links with underworld don Dawood," Singh had alleged.
