bulbul Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Nitish Kumar would be the ideal choice, but there is zero practical chance of it happening because the BJP will never agree to a PM candidate from outside the party. Not only does he have a good development record, but he also has the most pan India appeal out of all possible BJP candidates. Despite my dislike for the BJP I would happily cast my vote for Nitish Kumar like I did for Vajpayee. He'll probably end up as the best PM India never had like Warne
bulbul Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Modi's biggest drawback will be that he will polarize all the anti-BJP vote and that will be disastrous for BJP. As for support for Modi - forget about the allies, even within his own party he will definitely be challenged by the likes of Sushma Swaraj or LK Advani or even Gadkari for the leadership and as you rightly said he has failed every time he has campaigned outside Gujarat. I don't think BJP will name anyone as their PM candidate before the elections. The leadership issue will be decided only if and when NDA is in a position to form the Govt.
bulbul Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 There are 3 forces working against each other in BJP.. 1. Core BJP politicians who are pragmatic and followers of Vajpayee (Nor necessarily RSS dictated). 2. RSS and other right wing organisations (messing up BJP with their stupid candidates like that Motu Gadhkari)... :facepalm: 3. Emerging regional leader Modi (who's in a hurry) and his supporters (mainly Non '1' & Non '2'). These 3 forces will :fight: with each other and Congress will make a winning alliance and kick sorry arses of BJP again..
bulbul Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 If he is projected as leader then it will unite all the opposition parties and give them so much ammunition that BJP's election prospects will be over before the election actually happens. Projecting him as leader won't be a gamble but a sure shot loss.
Texan Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 impossible. Nitish kumar didn't have enough information about godhra riots then. Only when he personally went and installed internet cables throughout bihar he came to know that modi was in charge of gujarat when the riots happened. :hysterical:
bulbul Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Narendra Modi's electoral performance can be summed up thus: He has lost BJP two seats since 1998 elections and gained about 3% of votes. If this performance makes Narendra Modi BJP's choice for the prime ministership then Congress need not worry.
Texan Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 @bulbul Whose quotes are you quoting? I'm guessing it's one of our fellow members of ICF who must be a bit sore now.
Crookbond Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Two fun pics ... please bhakts don't be mad at me I didn't make it.
ravishingravi Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Namo has 0% votes in age group 0-18. How can he represent India.
avicric Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Modi has given great hope to people and people have belived in him,i hope that he does'nt become a obama(all talk no walk).
ravishingravi Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Modi has given great hope to people and people have belived in him' date='i hope that he does'nt become a obama(all talk no walk).[/quote'] He won't be Obama. Two reasons. Track record. And no restriction per se in pushing through bills through houses.
ravishingravi Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Lalu and Nitish. Nitish and Sonia. Mulayam and mayawati. TMC and left. AAP and Congress. BJP has managed to unite India.
avicric Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 I hope modi does'nt give important cabinet position to incompetents like joshi,rajnath,paswan,ananth kumar.He needs good technocrats.
ravishingravi Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Modi predicted congress will not reach double figures in any of the states and will get less than 70. Is BJP cadre and their hold and understand of the electorate stronger ?
ravishingravi Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 I hope modi does'nt give important cabinet position to incompetents like joshi' date='rajnath,paswan,ananth kumar.He needs good technocrats.[/quote'] It will be balancing act required. I have heard rumours that Deepak Parekh may be considered for finance.
avicric Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Hearing that bhagwati might be modi's economic advisor.
avicric Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Hope modi keeps rajan as rbi chief.a section of bjp wants him to be sacked.
bulbul Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Too many rumours..i guess its time to wait.Its not easy to give important positions to technocrats,have to take care of top leaders first. Better to give MoS to outsiders and provide more power. PS: only thing confirmed right now is position of Ambassador to Pakistan.
Sachin=GOD Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Hearing that bhagwati might be modi's economic advisor. I heard that since Bhagwati is now too old (79) he suggested the name of Arvind Panagariya.
