After 4-0 drubbing, Congress wants rollback of 'costly' decisions ahead of 2014 Lok Sabha polls | NDTV.com

Will somebody please tell these Congressis that the real cause of their defeat was the endless corruption scandals and the not the subsidy. Subsidy cap on cooking gas cylinders and the hike in fuel prices was a good move by Chidu. The economy will be hit if they undo this.

Don't care what they do as long as they stick to Rahul Gandhi as the face of their campaign & their prospective PM candidate!

BJP has decided to Rewrite its Target Beyond 272 which was earlier set by the Party... Going for a aggressive Door to Door campaigning in 11 states ... And attacking UPA in all fronts...

The Bharatiya Janata Party has sharpened its final countdown to the general elections of next year. Party CEO and president - Narendra Modi and Rajnath Singh - have revised the target upward to beyond the magic figure of 272, deciding to focus on 11 states in the north and central zone of the country so as to form the next government.

In the four states where results were declared on Sunday, the BJP got 408 of the 590 seats. The party leadership now wants to ride carry this momentum forward into the general elections.

"Our aim is to first cross the 272 mark and hold public rallies to take across the voters our message for good governance, anticorruption agenda and enrolling new voters," party president Rajnath Singh told Mail Today.

It is learnt that the party's prime ministerial candidate and poster boy Narendra Modi now wants the BJP to not only target the nearly 72 parliamentary seats in these four states, but extend the momentum over the nation's entire northern and central zones.

Rajnath Singh and Narendra Modi

Top party sources confirmed the 11 states where BJP will be entering in an aggressive poll mode beginning early January next year are Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal, Gujarat and Maharashtra. These 11 states together have 293 LS seats, and the BJP hopes that the pace picked up in the Assembly polls will get it very close to the half-way mark of 272 in Parliament.

Leading from the front is Modi himself, who has set a virtual "mission impossible" for himself - to sweep Gujarat and get 26 out of 26 LS seats for BJP, confirmed a top party insider to Mail Today on Wednesday. In a similar vein, the Madhya Pradesh Assembly results have encouraged the state party leadership to fix a similar target - 29 out 29 - there as well. BJP general secretary Ananth Kumar sees the momentum in BJP as similar to the wave of the 1977 elections. "A north India poll phenomenon is ready to strike in the Lok Sabha polls next year where we are aiming to repeat what we did then, that is make the Congress under Indira Gandhi sweat in the Hindi heartland of north and central India," he told Mail Today. "If the latest Assembly results are any indicator, then we are going all out in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh and the entire northern region up to Jammu," Kumar said. The party top brass has decided to go full swing with its three-fold strategy, hints party chief Rajnath Singh.

In 1977, Morarji Desai emerged as the first non-Congress PM at the helm of a Janata Party administration.

The party is aiming high in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, particularly in the former where Rajnath's own leadership is facing the test to get the state back in the BJP's kitty. "We are aiming to score over 50 per cent in UP and Bihar, which makes at least 60-70 seats out of 120," said Kumar. Top party sources said Modi and Singh have already made Bihar a priority, specially after the split with Nitish Kumar. In Maharashtra, the saffron party is ready to have a soft alliance with either the Raj Thackeray-led MNS or Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena. "We can then sweep Maharashtra and with SAD in Punjab, we will try to make the most in northern areas," Kumar added.

Party sources also added that the leadership is not leaving out the North-East, especially Assam and Arunachal, in its new poll agenda of a "Strong BJP and Extended NDA" to neutralise the Trinamool Congress effect in Bengal.

Congress and BJP decode '13 impact on 2014

The resurgence of the BJP in Delhi and its sweeping victory in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh have raised an inevitable question - will the 2013 Assembly results have any impact on the 2014 Lok Sabha polls?

Experts say the results point to a strong anti-Congress wave across the nation. A hopeful BJP, riding strong on the so-called Modi wave, has expressed confidence that the party's clear victory in the polls bode well for 2014.

The Indira Gandhi-led Congress government was virtually routed in the 1977 general elections.

"Though our performance in Delhi has been a little off the mark, we have realised that many people in Delhi voted for a new idea. The undercurrent in the state was in favour of the new political party. However, the scenario is different at the national level. A reading of people's moods indicates that they want Narendra Modi as the next PM," said former Delhi mayor Arti Mehra.

The Congress and its supporters, however, are quick to cite past trends to negate any idea of the results affecting the 2014 verdict.

"In 1998, the Congress won in Delhi and Rajasthan but was defeated in the 1999 general elections; similarly, the BJP won in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh in 2003, but was defeated in 2004. This proves that a state election victory may not necessarily translate into a win in the Lok Sabha polls," Congress leader Kiran Walia said. "Besides, six months is long time.

The BJP and AAP's attitude in Delhi is already irresponsible and unethical - neither wants to form a government. There have been minority governments at the Centre, so why do they want to burden Delhi with re-election? Is it because they promised the moon and now realise that they won't be able to deliver?" she added.

Every sane indian should vote for BJP and encourage others to vote for it
If they want to put india back on development path

One last concerted effort is needed to topple Congress out of power. Its not going to be easy, especially with so many regional players in fray, but its doable.

If and when BJP/NDA comes to power, they need to hold their ground for next couple of terms and keep the Congressi scourge out of power. This can only be done with good governance and a strong economy to match. The real hard work for BJP and its allies will start after the election, and that will be to convince the public to keep voting for them.

They need opt for some Congressi strategy too. Talking especially about villages and small towns in India, congressi is bureaucratic,businessmen friendly. and these guys literally control the small towns I am talking about. They need to take them into confidence too. Else Congressi root is very strong to be uprooted.

This time he should not give in to congress tactics to break his fast. Something drastic should happen. A strong anti congress message will be delivered across the masses right in time for gen lections.

Arvind Kejriwal to challenge Narendra Modi on his home turf in 2014 Lok Sabha polls

New Delhi: Encouraged with its spectacular performance in Delhi elections, Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) wants to contest all the Lok Sabha seats from Gujarat to forge a challenge to BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in his home state.

According to sources, the strategy is to confine Modi to Gujarat so that his visits to other states are severely curtailed.

AAP has already set up committees in 309 districts of the country with an aim to contest 2014 Lok Sabha elections. AAP leaders are going to meet soon to chalk out a strategy for upcoming general elections, said the sources.

Although it is still not clear how many seats AAP will its candidates in upcoming parliamentary elections, but the party's Karnataka unit has already announced that it will field candidates for all 28 Lok Sabha seats in the state.

The main challenge before Kejriwal is that he does not have a nationwide network. While AAP reaped the harvest of people's anger against Congress in Delhi, it will have to face a tried and tested leader like Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha polls.

Modi's popularity ratings are no doubt on the upswing and Kejriwal is yet to find his bearings in the national popularity ratings.

AAP may impress people in Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, but to meet the phalanx of BJP supporters in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat seems to be a tough challenge for the one-year-old party.

By defeating three-time Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit by a huge margin of 22,000 votes, Kejriwal has now realised the strength of "people's power".

The activist-turned politician has got indirect support from Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who had tweeted on Sunday that "newcomers" in politics "should not be taken lightly".

Kejriwal feels that the common man does not have a clear acceptable alternative at present and therefore, voters are caught between the Congress and the BJP. People are frustrated after several leaders from both these national parties were found involved in wrongdoings, he says.

Lol a bit too over confident Imo. But I'm betting BJP strategists have been taking them seriously.

AAP have once chance to come out strong for their national debut.

If AAP debuts at the National level, then BJP has every chance to come to power as AAP will derail Congress votes especially the minority votebank. AAP is another pseudo-socialist party looking at the Delhi elections manifesto. As you said, BJP need to stay for next couple of terms with development agenda to boost the economy.
