Narendra Modi's prospects brighten with new allies: report

The BJP has beaten the ruling Congress party in the race for stitching alliances ahead of the general elections, Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofAML) says in a report published on Wednesday. These alliances have also belied some apprehensions that BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi would not be able to attract new allies for the NDA, Jyotivardhan Jaipuria and Anand Kumar of BofAML say.

The BJP has joined hands with Ram Vilas Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party in Bihar (40 seats), while in Haryana (10 seats), the party has formed an alliance with Kuldeep Bishnoi's Haryana Janhit Congress. However, it's the six-party grand alliance that BJP has stitched in Tamil Nadu (39 seats), that could surprise positively, the report notes.

According to Bank of America research, this alliance of six parties (BJP plus DMDK, PMK, MDMK, IJK, and KMDK) had a vote share of nearly 23 per cent in Tamil Nadu as compared to Jayalalithaa's AIADMK at 23 per cent and M Karunanidhi's DMK at 25 per cent.

"Most opinion polls have so far given very few seats or no seats to the BJP in Tamil Nadu, so this big alliance could likely surprise in favor of BJP-led NDA," the analysts added.

According to the report, BJP-led NDA has now a foothold in almost all major states except Kerala, Odisha, and West Bengal where the BJP continues to remain weak. This gives the BJP alliance a fighting chance in nearly 425 seats out of the 543 seats, the report notes.

In Andhra Pradesh (42 seats), the BJP is reportedly talking to former chief minister Chandrababu Naidu's TDP for an alliance.

The Congress, in contrast, but been unable to form any alliance in the states of West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh where they traditionally had alliances, the report notes.

Bank of America's investment strategy: A strong government will lead to a bigger tilt toward domestic plays, while a weak coalition will lead us to tilt toward software and pharma names, the investment bank says. ICICI Bank, Lupin, Maruti, TCS and ONGC are among its top buys.

Hours after Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate accused Arvind Kejriwal of helping Pakistan and called him "AK 49", the Aam Aadmi Party leader on Wednesday said the Gujarat chief minister avoids debates on controversial issues.
This was Modi's first ever direct attack on Kejriwal and came a day after the AAP leader said he will contest the general elections from Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. The "AK 49" was a reference to Kejriwal's stint as the Delhi's chief minister for 49 days.
"There are three AKs in Pakistan who are being admired. AK 47, AK Antony and AK49. This third one, AK 49, has just launched a political party," Modi said addressing a gathering of BJP supporters at Hiranagar, close to the India-Pakistan International Border, in Udhampur-Doda Lok Sabha constituency.
"This AK 49 on his website shows Kashmir as a part of Pakistan. His close aide wants a referendum on Kashmir and Pakistan is jumping with joy," Modi said.
Kejriwal, in turn registered, his response on Twitter.
"Did Modi ji call me an agent of Pakistan and AK 49? Kya PM ke daawedar ko ye bhasha use karna shobha deta hai? (Does it behoove of the PM candidate of using such language?)" Kejriwal tweeted.
He accused Modi of skirting issues, backing corrupt politicians and fielding scam tainted candidates in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
"Modi ji muddon ki baat kyon nahi karte? Muddon ki rajniti kyon nahi karte? Why does he consistently avoid all invites for open debates?" he asked.
Kejriwal questioned Modi about his silence on the issue of gas prices and his "false claims" of Gujarat development. He also said the BJP PM pick refuses to talk about farmer suicides in his state.
"He refuses to respond on his compulsions to keep corrupt people like Babubhai Bokharia and Puruahottam Solanki in his cabinet. Why?"
"He refuses to respond on his compulsions to give tkts to muzaffarnagar riot accused. Why?"
"He refuses to respond on his compulsions to give tkts to corrupt people like Yeddyurappa, Sriramlu n Ramvilas Paswan. Why?"
Earlier in the day, the Gujarat government issued a point by point rebuttal of AAP chief's allegations made in Varanasi on Tuesday, accusing Modi of exaggerating reports of development in his state.

Kejriwal responds to Modi's 'AK 49' barb, says Gujarat CM using foul language - Hindustan Times

Lol...mirchi to lagi hai is Kejri ko
According to his logic ,this language is not seemly for a PM candidate but a sitting CM on a dharna is perfectly fine

@arp2041 this proves that Modi did the right thing.
No need to engange him completely but occasional barbs are a must , otherwise Saint Kejri will have his way in the mainstream media.

Funny comment about Namo's mention of kejri..


आज केजरी को ख़ुशी के मारे चैन नी आने
वाला आज केजरी ख़ुशी से पागल हो जाएगा
आखिरकर उसकी तपस्या फल लाई
महीनो की कड़ी तपस्या और अनगिनत बार
नमो नमो के जप के बाद आखिरकर आज केजरी के प्रभु ने उसका जिक्र कर
ही दिया AK49 पाकिस्तान का agent कह कर अपने प्रिय भगत को याद कर
ही लिया ।

That's something which I have noticed too. AK has been constantly trying get Modi's attention.. & ultimately he got one! I would have wished if Modi had not mentioned him at all. Afterall that's the job of kanjaris...they yearn for attention... & it's for saner ones to ignore 'em!
