Largest circulated news daily Anandabazar Patrika's headline of totay's issue : Modi's  Ploy of Three Laddoos

^^I wonder why he continues to be benevolent towards Mamata. Even after she keeps snubbing him repeatedly, he keeps subtly praising her or avoids direct confrontation with her. Funny how he took digs at the "poribartan" but still advocated "Mamata-as-CM-Modi-as-PM". 😆

What do you guys think, is Nitish Kumar a corrupt guy?

I have a good friend from Bihar who says Nitish can be accused of one million things but not dishonesty! He says the guy is squeaky clean...just like Modi is supposed to be and in Bihar, all understand it, though, he is not very popular at the moment...(surprising!?!?)

Carry on the excellent discussion! 👍🏼

You know what, as I have read it in ABP, 60% spectators were not BJP cadre, but some curious public, who wanted to listen to him ... NaMo knows party's organisational structure is poor in WB, so reach out to the public he had to be careful ... Bengali folks are known for their emotional behavior,  thats why he brings the name of Vivekanada, Subhash Bose, Pranab Mukherjee etc. Mamta is very grounded leader but whoever gives importance to her, she will go with ...  I strongly believe that support from Mamata & Jayalaitha would not be required, but Modi ji is wise to keep open his door ...

@BOLD: Thats understandable!😆

In his speeches, Modi does play to the local galleries. At Meerut he was saying Congress would want all to believe only Congress struggled for Indian freedom, completely ignoring the importance of 1857 mutiny that originated from Meerut and great part Meerut and its warriors played in Indian freedom movement!

Here's something I found on FB---yet another "myth-busting" analytical article on NaMo's Gujarat. Makes valid points that confuses even more:

@Krystal 

Exactly. You kinda spoke my mind there. I'd always suspected that the 'Modi phenomenon' has a lot of air bubbles in it. And what would explain this humongous success in image-projection is the PR firm APCO. Also the fact that employment rate came down from 25% to 24 point something is quite alarming. And the GSDP figures are from the Planning Commission, so reliable according to me. Plus the Lokayukta non-appointment till 2013 and the drama regarding K.A. Mehta highly questions his integrity. Though I'd also say that the article has some loopholes in it, like comparing Gujarat's growth to states like Sikkim with lower denominators. Also, it ignores the fact that Gujarat occupies 6th place in agriculture despite being a largely laterite soil-dominated state. Plus, its GDP is just half of Maharashtra's which has much, much more FDI.

P.S.: Don't get me wrong, I'd still want him over Rahul anyday (AAP and Third Front are outta question). But I can't cheer as loud now. 😛
