what AK has achieved
1. He has shown that he can take on Modi in his den
2. He has questioned his development model and his false statistics of gujarat development
3.he has talked about modis communal credentials and marginalisation of minorities
4. he hs talked about crony capitalism and links of modi with ambanis and adani
5 he has talked to poor farmers in drought areas , fisherfolk, sikh farmers and other disgruntled and unhappy people
6. he has demonstrated that he can take to the streets and also engage in confrontation with modis goons and show that he can retaliate in delhi ,if anything happens to him in gujarat
7. he is tryng to restrict modis campaign by going to gujarat and engaging modi there.
8 By all this, will AK establish that modi does not run away with the election 2014?. A big question mark

it is the urban middle class by not voting are the culprits. they do not raise their voice against criminality, corruption, lack of concern for the common good and let the poor masses choose. others can sit abraoad and make empty noises. country gets what it deserves.

Your statement about letting the 'poor masses' choose betrays a lack of understanding of realpolitik. It is indeed a fact, which I've witnessed, that the 'poor masses' are easily bribed by liquor and small change. This amounts to wantonly electing thugs.

Moreover, the urban middle classes are no better than the 'poor masses'. There's no reason to believe the urban middle class will vote clean candidates to power. Perhaps you forget that the uppermost factor on every Indian's mind is the caste demon. Times Now sampled urban and rural voters, and they all said they'd vote for 'jati' 'gotra' etc and not with their brains (party symbols be darned, caste is first). Of course, the 'poor masses' are lured to the polling booths by their fellow 'caste member' with spirits and cheap gifts. All parties are guilty of propagating casteism.

Even Narendra Modi is now playing the 'OBC' card, given that his bluff of 'Golden Gujarat' has been exposed largely as a hoax.

[h=2]DMK has fielded crorepatis and may finish third, says Alagiri[/h]
Pitching to contest the highest number of Lok Sabha seats ever, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam on Monday re-nominated two of its controversial former Union Ministers, A. Raja and Dayanidhi Maran, for the coming election, while dropping its Madurai strongman and former Union Minister, M.K. Alagiri.


Despite the “image dent” faced by Mr. Raja in the “2G spectrum scam” and Mr. Maran in the “Aircel-Maxis deal,” the DMK has boldly fielded them again. They will re-contest the Nilgiris (Reserved) and Central Chennai seats, respectively.


The list sparked controversial remarks by Mr. Alagiri. “Going by the announced names, the DMK may be pushed to the third spot,” he told The Hindu. “The party has given ticket to those who are crorepatis. Those who have real contacts with the cadres in their respective constituencies have been ignored.”


Asked if he had plans to start a new party, he replied: “I have no plans to start a new party and if at all there is any such move, it would be made only after consulting my supporters.” As long as his grievances were not redressed, he had no intention of going back to the party.

Dine with Kejriwal for ₹20,000



A ₹20,000 dinner ticket awaits those who want to dine with Aam Admi Party chief Aravind Kejriwal this weekend in Bangalore.


Brain child of former Infosys CFO V Balakrishnan, who has won a nomination to contest from AAP ticket from Bangalore North, the donations from this event will be used to raise funds for the party’s election campaign.


A spokesperson for AAP told Business Line that AAP was not involved with this particular fund raising activity but a group of people led by Balakrishnan are behind this event. He also said the ticket price for dinner has not been finalised yet.


The spokesperson said that the dinner event is open to anyone who wants to help AAP’s cause through monetary donations.


The dinner event will be held on Saturday evening though the venue has been kept a secret. It is perhaps for the first time that such an event is being held and is similar to such events organised in the US for politicians who are contesting elections.


Kejriwal is also expected to hold another event on Sunday as well though it will not be used for fund raising activity.


Meanwhile, the decision to nominate Balakrishnan for the Bangalore Central constituency has come as a surprise. He was expected to be nominated for the Bangalore South constituency against his former Infosys colleague Nandan Nilekani but the party seems to have saved both of them from some embarrassment.


AAP has chosen a relatively unknown Neena P Nayak, a child rights’ activist, to take on Nilekani and the sitting MP HN Anantha Kumar of the BJP. Balakrishnan had earlier said that he would lend support to Nilekani during his election campaign. Whether he would actually do so now remains to be seen.


The AAP spokesperson said Balakrishnan had to be persuaded to contest the elections and once he agreed to do so, he was asked to appear for a formal interview where he had to spell out his agenda for the elections.

“We decided to nominate him because he is a good man and wants to usher in a corruption-free era in politics,” the spokesperson said.

Amar Singh, the Dalal of politics and who hit the head lines for the Cash for Vote scandal, Ajith Singh's RLD

 

[krish44]

narayanamurthy should be having a good laugh. all the drop outs from infosys are making waves in the indian elections 2014. bala will teach AAP how to raise money for elections and perhaps help in cooking up the accounts for election commission and audit. he must have been well trained by murthy in these things.nilekani has already generated 60 crore aadhar cards for mass use.in course of time all the oldies running out of infosys in record speed will help build india where no one would like to stay. lol

DMK candidate list-alagiri out
all this is shadow boxing not to be taken seriously. MK likes to play politics with his children and periodically changing his favourites.he wants a few seats in loksabha to keep his kids out of jail. tamilnadu will oblige him

 

[krish44]

Now Mamta Didi smells chance with Amma's exit...She is ready to support Amma for Prime Minister if the conditions of “good governance, good government and pro-people government” were met..

Didi smells chance in Amma split

timesnow arnab interviewed mamatha .she comes off as a sincere person but highly emotional and opinionated. perhaps is a poor administrater too.in combination with J and mayawathi could decide indias' fate

 

[krish44]

Infighting for loksabha seats in UP among BJP stalwarts may alter the chances of BJP.wrangle for varanasi,lucknow,kanpur seats and infighting among senior leaders may hurt BJP. For BJP the enemy is within.it is considered modis' election. stalwarts are taking it easy and not doing much.there is a price to be paid for that.

Balakrishnan's investment 40 lakhs. He it seems refused to contest against nilekeni!

AAP and the Mosquito:A quote doing rounds in digital media

 

[sarang]

What gujarat did to kejriwal.

His 3 month old lingering cough stopped as soon as he entered gujrat. He did not cough even once and had to cancel his planned hospital visit. Gujarat's health.
2. He wanted to stay longer by getting arrested, but was not even detained. Gujarat's hospitality.
3. He went in a maruti wagon R but returned on a private jet. That is growth.

In tamilnadu,AAp has enrolled 3 lakh members.whether the party can make a difference is doubtful. some congress sympathisers can join them as they have no future in congress and AAP is a party without corruption taint.for brahmins also it is an alternative

 

[V.Balasubramani]

Will the public of Tamil Nadu accept AAP as an alternative…..?

It is to be seen how far AAP make its presence in Tamil Nadu politics as it has to pass through the bottle necks like strong affiliation of public towards caste,
money power, brain washing strategy adapted by hardcore politicians and tall promises.

Of course public have already forgotten ‘ 2 G’,etc.

Seeing the poor response in a Delhi rally called by Mamata, Anna cancelled the meeting..Looks like he is now cosying up to BJP

Joke of the day.

Ifor brahmins also it is an alternative

 

[krish44]

Joke of the day.

why do you think so. if brahmins getting together in tamilnadu and jointly fighting for their rights has been often advocated in this forum in all seriousness. it has not been considered a joke
but brahmin individually voting for AAP is a joke. why? this is much easier
in delhi also It was a joke in early stages. many thought it was no better than NOTA. but disgust with congress was so much that they voted for it. the middle class voted only in late afternoon on day of polling after seeing the trend. voting had to be extended to accomodate them.
