bulbul Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 NEW DELHI: Banking on film stars to attract voters was almost a poll ritual for political parties. But this time around, BJP seems to have just one show-stopper — its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. In a departure from tradition, BJP state units are not seeking film personalities for rallies; they just want Modi, a party leader involved with campaign strategy told ET. Sociologist Dipankar Gupta says calling celluloid personalities was anyway a backup. "You call them when you are not sure of yourself. Modi pictures himself as a star attraction. Even Rahul Gandhi wouldn't want them to canvass." This trend has come as a relief for party organisers since they don't have to call larger-than-life celluloid personalities for rallies, with Modi playing hero. They admit that in past elections, demand from state units for film stars at rallies was very high as they were undisputed crowd-pullers. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/narendra-modi-a-dream-boy-bjp-state-units-say-no-to-film-personalities-for-rallies-demand-only-modi/articleshow/24455202.cms :hatsoff: this smiley is not enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precambrian Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Not if the student is from a poor family and has hardly had any education. The kids of some servants our family employed started their schooling rather couple of years late. Modi was from an extremely poor family so it is very possible he was in class 4 in 1960-61. Frankly, this sort of nitpick is desperation. If he becomes the PM he will be the one from the poorest background, a person who rose in life almost entirely on his own efforts facing the biggest adversities. Read somewhere that at the age of 6 he was helping his father selling tea. Quite possible that then he had not started formal education then, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outsider Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Phattular decides campaign in Delhi only for one day. Feku, Pappu, Phattu - the list keeps getting more impressive. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/with-delhi-bjp-in-disarray-modi-to-campaign-only-for-a-day/1185791/ With Delhi BJP in disarray, Modi to campaign only for a day As BJP struggles to get its act together in Delhi, its Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi has decided to campaign for only a day in the city, apparently wary of being held responsible in case the party performs poorly in the assembly election. BJP Vice President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi today told reporters that Modi will campaign for four days in Madhya Pradesh, three days in Rajasthan and two days in Chhattisgarh but spend only a day in Delhi. Modi is giving a complete miss to Mizoram where the party has virtually no stakes. He may address a couple of rallies in Delhi on November 30. Till now Modi has kept himself aloof from the turmoil in the Delhi unit of the BJP where infighting has virtually destabilized the party's campaign. This has led the party to change its plans of not announcing a Chief Ministerial candidate with the top brass, including Modi, now favoring Harshavardhan's name for the post to salvage the situation. But BJP leaders concede that the party's prospects are not good in Delhi as they do not have a leader to match Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit. Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Admi Party (AAP) is also likely to cut into BJP votes as the anti-incumbency votes against the Congress- which would have come to the BJP kitty- will now get divided. There is strong resentment in the BJP unit against state chief Vijay Goel as he had sidelined all the other senior leaders and tried to project himself as the de-facto CM candidate. Feeling slighted, many of them have taken their complaint to the top brass, sources said. Though Modi addressed a huge rally at Japanese Park here on September 29, where he attacked Dikshit for being a ribbon-cutting CM, he concentrated more on attacking Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

bulbul Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Maulana Arshad Madni, the patriarch of one faction of the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind and a cleric with wide following, has urged Muslims to vote for the Congress in 2014 because they had “no alternative”, while a top Church leader, Cardinal Oswald Gracias, met Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and praised her policies, signs that minorities still view the grand old party favourably. “This country can never survive without secularism and (Narendra) Modi is a serious threat to that. If he comes to power, a section of society that stands for secularism will be on fire. For Muslims, there is no alternative to the Congress at the national level,” Madni told HT. Cardinal Gracias, president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI), met Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday and appreciated the “key role” played by her in “caring for the poor and the downtrodden”. He pledged support for the Congress-led UPA government’s welfare programmes. The cardinal is one of the eight globally picked by Pope Francis as advisers. http://www.hindustantimes.com/specials/coverage/myindia-myvote/chunk-ht-ui-myindiamyvote-dontmiss/narendra-modi-factor-drives-muslim-cleric-to-support-congress/sp-article10-1138108.aspx Happy days for Pappunatics and Pshecgulars :yay: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulbul Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 NEW DELHI: When BJP's PM candidate Narendra Modi was ridiculing the gold hunt in Unnao during his visit to Chennai last week, even his diehard opponents were hard-pressed to find fault with his criticism. His conciliatory tweet just two days later on the seer who had dreamt of gold notwithstanding, he had made his point. Modi appears to be following a carefully crafted script that puts toilets before temples and advocates silence on the Ram Janmabhoomi issue at the Kanpur rally. Doing so, Modi, who has been saddled with an anti-Muslim image since the 2002 riots in his state, seems to have surprised both his friends and foes. Unlike in the case of ex-PM AB Vajpayee, whose moderate utterances came in for criticism from hardliners, no voice has been raised from within the Sangh Parivar against Modi. The difference between the two is that Modi is seen as a Hindutva icon within the party and he does not need to reassure his core constituency. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/narendra-modi-ignores-family-silver-by-giving-wide-berth-to-gold-rush/articleshow/24502471.cms Looks like author never heard about ICF :(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulbul Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 ew Delhi: Muslim Personal Law Board Deputy chief Maulana Kalbe Sadiq has said that doors are not closed for talking to Bharatiya Janata Party Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. A newspaper report quotes him as saying Modi's failure to prevent the Gujarat riots cannot be forgotten. However, he goes on to say that if Modi has truly re-invented himself, the Muslim community, too, is ready to revise its stand on him. But he emphasised that for India, communalism is a danger greater than Pakistan and China. He said that the BJP must be willing to deliver on his promise of good governance. "I am not happy with Modi's past. But our religion teaches us not to give up on any person," Kalbe said. He had also said that these parties were spreading fears about Modi unnecessarily in order to gain votes. He had said this while speaking at a conference on the demand for reservations for Muslims in Jaipu http://ibnlive.in.com/news/if-modi-reinvents-himself-we-can-revise-our-stand-muslim-cleric/430428-37-64.html After reading relentless BS from Seculars, these kind of comments give this country a hope :isalute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulbul Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Who is this shehzada (prince)? Why are intelligence officers briefing him?" Mr Modi asked this evening at an election rally in Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh. In a lengthy denouncement of Mr Gandhi, he went on to say, "It is your responsibility to make public the names of such youth... If you do not disclose the names, then you should apologize publicly for defaming an entire community." http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/narendra-modi-takes-on-shehzada-rahul-gandhi-for-isi-remark-437300 :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
