Do you think Modi can bring change if given chance?

Here in Mumbai - voting day means a day off. Those who do come might have been tempted by the chicken and beer stuff - show your hand, check if inked and get your food :p

The alternatives here in MH are not good either. Its SS or MNS or other some small time party. What we need is a clear majority and a govt that can be held responsible. Looking so far, the only credible person - irrespective of PR hype or not, is Modi. AAP is good, but I think voting them in may not work - they wont get a majority.

Just wish that we had lesser parties. Each of them hold the govt to ransom :sad:

The Congress is always communal. It was the original idea of the party. They just call it secularism, we call it 'selective'
 
Does anybody else get the feeling that the blasts in Patna were staged by BJP to win some sympathizers? I mean, look at the circumstances... Low intensity blasts from crude explosives... Not a single one anywhere close to the dias where Modi is supposed to speak from. Modi continuing the event with an indifferent expression that seems to show that he is well aware that none of the blasts would take place anywhere close to him or that no further blasts are to happen.... I think something similar was attempted in Bangalore as well although if I remember right it was a single low intensity blast. People are blaming everything from Muslims in the city, terrorists and even the local and central governments. I think BJP has succeeded if that was what they are looking for. I don't see any other logical motivation for these blasts. No other party would would do it simply to disrupt the event because they would know well enough that the result would only be detrimental to their interests.

I hate how dirty our politics are.

Sir Lord, you are wrong on almost all counts. Except probably the last bit where you mentioned how dirty politics is. Wait till NIA cracks the case sometime around 2018.

4.15 pm Bomb found just below the dais found Call it a touch of destiny, police discovered an unexploded bomb just below the dais from where the Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi addressed the rally for over an hour.

Exactly. I would not bother to comment until at least a month after when the investigation is well on its way. Where hopefully we will have more facts to discuss.

Course if this was a conspiracy, all the evidence will be nicely disposed off and the case will be inconclusive. Best to move on in that case.
 
There will be very few politicians without these issues, even if there are, few open minded people like you and me will recognize them and vote so in other words they will never come to power lol.

Yeah, Rajiv Gandhi got away with the 1984 massacre, and now Modi wants to repeat the same by coming to power. Both parties are crooks and won't leave any stone unturned to come to power, and then retain it in whatever way possible.

As an atheist and a secular humanist, I can never support a religious nationalist and a fundamentalist. Corruption is a major challenge, but even more so in the inter-mingling of state and religion. Congress is selectively communal, but hide under the pretext of secualarism, whereas BJP are open about their communal stance. When the opposition itself is such, the choices are very limited.

That is one of the main reasons why I wish to see a push for third-front. They won't win immediately, but over the course of time, even if they could somehow manage to get themselves into the opposition, it would be a far better political landscape than just Congress and BJP bickering over who wants to stay in power.

My friend is going to vote for Modi. His logic - Modi is unmarried, has no family/girlfriends, then he would to be corrupt and save money ? So he is not that big corrupt.

LOL! People work with some weird logic!

As for the blasts in Patna, I always thought political parties do such kind of things - it always appears to be a calculated risk..I'm not saying Modi/BJP staged it, but I do feel there is *some* involvement of one of the stakeholders ..

And isn't the Firstpost site a mouthpiece for one of the political parties or something? (somehow I remember reading tweets about Firstpost being owned by someone related to a political party)..

That's nothing. I've heard people say, "Modiji will turn India into America in 5 years."
