The sweeping all Narendra Modi wave

One fact has emerged in the run-up to the General Elections 2014 which is true and that being the unequivocal popularity found by Narendra Modi. His remarks have been outstanding, his views delivered with elan and his projected image of a development driven leader won all hearts and heads. Everyone is craving for Modi and wants to grant the BJP its desired time-line within which to drive the Indian economy up the ladder. Each Indian wants Modi to re-create for them what he has done in Gujarat on the economic front. This has become such a craze because of two main reasons – one being the scam ridden sojourn of the UPA-II leading to unbridled discontent among the public and the uncontainable inflation across the country affecting one and all. The BJP has been organized like never before and their charismatic leader Modi knows just what portions to mix and match to produce the right connotation for the electorates. However as the opinion polls conducted in March against February have shown a sharp and visible drop in the BJP vote share due to a few instances in the recent times having erupted on the scene with the elections virtually knocking at the door. The handling of issues related to the nominations of BJP patriach L.K. Advani and veteran former union minister Jaswant Singh have really struck the BJP hard. It seems for a change Modi and Jaitley seemed to have erred in communicating to them the necessity for such action while the opponents have made merry highlighting these issues. While Jaswant alleged that the true BJP has been done away with while the existent party has new policies formulated by other people who were not even around when the party surfaced on the Indian political firmament. Advani was miffed with having to contest from Gandhinagar in Gujarat as he wanted to keep his distance from Modi too. Sushma Swaraj had been wary of the party having allowed certain individuals to gain mileage into unknown territory currently beyond the scope of the party to gain valuable seats through associations that would aid the BJP to get closer to the magical 272 seat mark in these upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2014. Modi is a unique person on many counts as he has a sparkling brilliance elusive to many. His focus and delivery seem to be unwaveringly cast upon the rival. Gujaratis feel that Modi was the only man who spoke up for them and soon Indians might feel the same way...

Rajnath Singh from Lucknow

Uttar Pradesh is the state that indeed comes alive during any Lok Sabha elections. It is Uttar Pradesh that has given India Prime Ministers for a long time. Maybe Modi and his associates in BJP want to continue this trend set by their arch rivals from Congress to become the Prime Minister of the nation after winning form a Lok Sabha seat in UP. With Modi contesting form Varanasi now BJP president Rajnath Singh is set to file his nominations from Lucknow on April 5 declared a party leader today on March 31, 2014. Singh was supposed to file his papaers for contesting the Lok Sabha seat from Lucknow only on April 7 but due to some astrological reasons the issue has been duly changed.

BJP expels veteran leader Jaswant Singh

Jaswant Singh the sitting MP from Darjeeling parliamentary constituency of West Bengal has been expelled from his party BJP for six years. The row between Jaswant Singh and his party had arisen due to the party’s refusal to grant him nomination from Barmer in Rajasthan his selected seat for contesting in the upcoming general elections 2014. The rebel leader was thrown out following his denial to withdraw his nomination from his home turf of Barmer as an independent candidate against his opponents among whom there is a nominee set by the BJP too. The constituency of Barmer has BJP’s Sonaram Choudhary who is Rajasthan CM Raje’s choice. The constituency of Barmer has 3.5 lakh Jats among the 16 lakh electorate, whose votes it seems will account for the winning...

Varanasi, Modi’s second constituency

As always the BJP is clearly ahead on the surprise quotient in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2014 in India. They are the only party who seem to following a planned approach to seek a clear mandate of the people. BJP is calling all the shots and the next ace up its sleeve that it has recently unleashed is to have Narendra Modi contest from Varanasi, his second constituency. Not only the electorate but most of political parties have been wide eyed as this decision was announced by the Bharatiya Janta Party. However the real mystery about this announced agenda of the BJP is not that their Prime Ministerial candidate has been chosen to contest from two seats one in his home state of Gujarat and the other outside Gujarat. The selection of Varanasi has had all other parties swooning as they cannot be sure of the exact calculation of the BJP behind this scheme. Varanasi has a BJP heavy weight Murli Manohar Joshi as the sitting MP and moreover is the holiest place for all Hindus. Apart from this it also makes sense that Indian PMs have been traditionally elected from the heartland of UP where Varanasi lies. It also seems to signal that Modi’s vibrant presence in the state of UP will aid the bright fortunes of...
