UP ka kissa bahut hi ulta hai... waha Modi ji ko le kar bahut ignorance hai... 250 seats keval social sites pe dikh rahi hain.. bjp k karyakartaao ne UP me vote aur BJP ko promote karne ke liye koi kaam nahi kiya............ at least har mohalle me ek Nukkad natak hi karte more  

I agree that BJP needs more than 250 plus seats on its own if they have to deliver. But if wishes were horse....... We all have to learn to live with coalition politics and manage coalitions like Mr.Atal Bihari Vajpayee did ! No option more  

Narendra Modi's challenge: Assess the damage BJP's grandees like MM Joshi can inflict SAUBHIK CHAKRABARTI, ET Bureau Mar 13, 2014, 10.58AM IST Here's the strangest thing about these elections: Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal should be catching a lot more flak from, respectively, a remarkably listless Congress and an occasionally comically chaotic AAP than Narendra Modi is catching from lookslike-a-winner BJP. There's one broad explanation. Gandhi and Kejriwal are leaders in the sense promoters are leaders in promoter-controlled companies. Modi is more like a CEO of a widely held company who was chosen after a tension-filled search process. That RSS functions as a large activist shareholder makes matters more complicated. But explanations are not justifications. And there's a breathtaking lack of justification in many BJP leaders' sniping about Modi. Recognizing that has nothing to do with where you stand on Modi. Even if Modi's not your man, you can't escape BJP grandees' incredible illogic - unless you are in RSS. RSS loves to speak in riddles, quite like Nehru- Gandhis it so dislikes, and has therefore issued elliptical statements on intra-BJP quarrels and Modi's leadership. A media that frequently ascribes mysterious powers of high thinking to the sangh has been duly impressed. But we should have asked: Dear pracharaks, can you come clean? Coming clean means this: BJP, 10 years out of power and in those same 10 years subjected to LK Advani's experiments with leadership, wouldn't have been where it's in this race without Modi at the helm. So why would BJP grandees not fall behind a man who can possibly take them to power, and therefore to high offices? Murli Manohar Joshi has told the media he's a 'loyal solider' willing to stand aside. But the question remains: Does he value MP-ship from Varanasi more than, say, a nice grand job in the ruling dispensation? If he does, he must question his grip on basics of power politics. So should tweet-happy Sushma Swaraj. A 140-character public expression of dissent on alliance building just weeks before voting starts is strange from a leader expected to secure a big cabinet job in a Modi government. Let's note here that our argument is not based on critiquing BJP leaders for failing to recognize principles of team work. In politics, as in companies, people sometimes ignore first principles of professional conduct. So, let's not be hard on Joshi and co. on that count - let's be hard on them because they seem to be acting against their self-interest. But are all of this and more evidence of anti-Modi manoeuvres in Modi-led BJP, explained by Modi's personal-political style? Again, an explanation is not a justification. But let's consider this explanation. Assume BJP grandees are afraid that under Modi they will be like BJP ministers and leaders in Gujarat - people with high offices but low influence. Modi will be 'saheb' to all grandees, not just Amit Shah. Even that doesn't address the illogic of taking shots at your vote-getter. First, would these BJP grandees rather be out of political power if the price of power, as they fear, is a relative loss of personal power? That's strange politics. Second, how can these grandees assume that the Gujarat power-political model can be replicated in New Delhi? Modi just won't have that luxury in what would be an intensely scrutinized first term as PM. However, this explanation gets sharper if we consider the possibility that Joshi, Advani and some others really fear irrelevance, which is a whole lot worse than relative loss of personal power. A Modi-led BJP in power will, over time, see a new-ish BJP leadership. Some of today's grandees won't find any meaningful place in it. But they shouldn't. The Vajpayee-Advani-Joshi BJP was long past its sale-by date. A future for BJP that's brighter than its recent past necessarily means at least de facto retirement of some leaders. So, it perhaps comes down to that great fear in Indian public life - grandees who have once tested power, in politics, cricket, cinema, want to cling on, no matter potential costs for teams they are supposedly part of. In the extreme version of such cases, your self- interest gets completely misaligned with your team's interest. It's rational for such a grandee to work against his team. Therefore, it comes down to this - are Joshi & co. being irrational or dangerously, for BJP, rational? For Modi, as the party's chosen leader, the challenge is to assess how much damage grandees can inflict and whether their disaffection is of the irrational or dangerously rational variety. If the damage potential is nontrivial and the disaffection is of the dangerously rational variety, BJP PM candidate's first serious national leadership test has already begun - weeks before voters tell him whether or not they want him as PM.

CAN MODI OVERCOME THE POST ELECTION CHALLENGES ? Inspite of difficult post election scenario , Modi can come out with flying colours if he would be determined to stay in the course without compromising principles and without submitting himself to the force of corruption and nepotism that would confront him. He has to further build and strengthen the bridge of communication with the common man of the country and constantly reflect their aspirations in his deeds and actions. A leader with mass base and good will enjoyed from the common man belonging mostly to the middle and lower income group would be in the best conditions to stand against the demands of the political parties and self centred politicians in a coalition era. Modi should realise that the only strength he can have is the support that he could get from the people of India which would be possible only by adhering to the cause of truth and probity in all his deeds and actions.
