The BJP declared its PM candidate yesterday, and it was a
much-awaited news!
Many thoughts on this so penning them here in no particular
order:
I wish all folks who can, will go out and vote at least in
this election. If there was a time this country needed all it's citizens to
rally around for it, it is this elections. Much more than the post-emergency
election. UPA-3 will be an unmitigated disaster for us.
I have seen some reactions on FB comparing the euphoria in
the country to that of when Obama got elected (and boy, has he turned out to be
such a disappointment, worse than Bush I think). There is a danger of too much
expectation from NaMo, yes, I am scared for him that he wont be able to deliver
overnight or all alone, but given two or even one stable term, I am sure, the
processes will improve significantly. And the country can hope to get out of
the rut.
I have new found respect for Rajnath Singh and RSS (yeah you
can go right ahead and call me a Hindutva stooge, I am a proud Hindu and there
is no two ways about it). How he has managed to shake up BJP ranks, bring in
discipline and show acute political acumen, he deserves the same respect (if
not more) as Modi.
Finally, a conversation on Facebook - so anyone who wants to
comment on a) LK Advani being side-lined by Modi (boy, do I hate that stance,
people make it sound like some coup in what has been a perfectly democratic
internal election, a model, the Congress would do well to follow, but no,
people seem to want to see the BJP as the family fiefdom of someone or another and that
someone is LK Advani for now!!) or b) Gujarat's "fake-progress-claims" or c)
lament about "we are sad there is no political future for this
country" without actually proposing a solution, will do well to reserve
their comments. You already know my thoughts below. I hope my friends on FB do not mind :)
BJP announces Modi, finally!
XXX and 9 others
like this.
RC At last!!
SD Baap re! no!
RR What is LK Advani's actual problem
with Narendra Modi?
ME SD- you don't sound happy?:)
ME RR- Advani is the reason BJP has
gone to the dogs in many states. He is so obsessed with being the one man face
of BJP that he killed any budding leadership in BJP's ranks. Except till Modi
came by, this is one guy's stronghold he could not touch in his turf state, so,
naturally, it pains him.
ME RC uncle, yeah!!
SD DH- No i'm not. I have my reasons
to oppose the BJP and NaMo in particular. That said I don't trust the congress
at all! Oh, and I don't think even NaMo presents a viable opposing figure!
ME SD I guess you are happy you won't
be voting:) Seems like you won't have much to choose from;)
VA Advani and also I guess to some
extent Jaitley ...
SD I am not comfortable with the
Hindutva shit that BJP used to peddle. And I don't buy Modi's medicine as well,
Gujarat has always been a wealthy and upwardly mobile state.
ME SD I don't support everything that
BJP has done either but there is simply no one else I trust in today's politics.
And we desperately need a pillar to lean on, upa has left us on the streets.
Who would you be rather voting for? Lok Satta? They will gain one or two seats
and rest will be business as usual, look at what happened to Kukatpally/AP. Or
maybe I should vote for some party like SP? We can all go to the dogs then. The
question is not whom do you not like but who will you vote for?
VA Its only improved big time atleast
Infra.. I was in Gujarat back when i was doing engg. i.e. Keshubhai Patel`s tenure
(1993-97)... The roads were pathetic and I mean it... Last year X-mas break i
went again and we toured almost entire Gujarat i.e. AHD - Dwarka- Somnath- Diu-
AHD by road.. and they are comparable to US express ways.. lot of activity
around using Non-conventional energy... AUTO base is being shifted from Pune to
North Gujarat.. I certainly fore see him as progressive leader.. leave aside
religious views.. i do not see that in any other leader as of now though.. .
ME Also, India used to always be a
prosperous nation (this is a proven fact, not Hindutva shit peddled by folks)
so the same logic of Gujarat might even work;)
SD No way would I vote for Cong, they
have looted the country. Lok Satta is not viable, especially not if I even say
BJP int viable I don't know, I am definitely sad that there are SO MANY
political parties and none strong enough to bring Cong down!
ME VA Kudos man!! We need more such
facts!!:) not the bs that our media peddles:)
VA
Unfortunately.. ours being parliamentary form of democracy one needs to be
associated with party form majority unlike in US were its presidential form of
democracy.. so he needs to be part of group to make 273 number
ME SD exactly my point, so rather than
waste my vote by being a spoilsport whining about how no one is good, I am
picking the least worse of the choices I have, BJP. And the fact that the man
NaMo inspires patriotism in me like no politician has so far, makes it a lot
more attractive to me!! I say anyone who helps BJP win this time will be
contributing big time to the betterment of this nation from the squalid depths
it has fallen to, a great act of patriotism and I'm not going to miss this
chance!!
RR We were in ahmedabad in 2012, when
we lost power early in the morning 4 am or so. My dad called the electricity
board hotline, and it was fixed by 5 am, and I didn't even have to wake up from
the discomfort
ME :)
VM With CONG scams all over the place;
their recent AP division politics..etc...Lets give a Chance 2 BJP with New
Leader( of course with hung & support of local state parties) &
Lets hope for some Change.
VA @Rekha: true.. AEC (Ahd Elec Comp)
is class apart...
