How Gujarat has become ‘Vibrant’
Makar Sankranti (January 14) goes by different names in different parts of our country. In Tamil Nadu, it is celebrated as Pongal. In Assam, it brings song, dance and joy in the name of Bihu. In Punjab and in several other parts of north India, it comes, a day or two in advance, as Lohri. People gather around ceremonial log-fire to warm themselves up on a cold night, singing Lohri songs and exchanging popcorn, peanuts, crystal sugar and sweets made out of til (sesame seeds). Every year my family has Lohri celebration at home, sharing our joy with friends, office colleagues and security personnel.
Makar Sankranti reminds me of the kite festival in Gujarat, the state which I represent in Parliament. On this day, the deep blue sky in Ahmedabad and other cities and towns of the state becomes a canvas for a vibrant splash of colours as tens of thousands of people climb their rooftops to celebrate the kite festival. Indeed, the International Kite Festival in Gujarat has become a major tourist attraction.
Since 2003, the word ‘Vibrant’ has become associated with Gujarat in yet another manner, enhancing the national and international reputation of the state. Consider the fact that even in the current year of economic slowdown, the two-day Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors’ Summit 2009, which concluded in Ahmedabad on January 13, attracted promised investments of over Rs. 12 lakh crore. More than 8,500 Memoranda of Understanding were signed between the State government and the intending investors. These have the potential to create over 25 lakh additional employment opportunities. While the last three editions of the ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ summit in 2003, 2005 and 2007 together received promises for investment of over Rs 6.34 lakh crore, the 2009 summit alone had inked MoUs to invest 12 lakh crore.
This is how The Hindu newspaper reported it:
“The Chief Minister’s announcement was greeted with resounding noise of clapping with even foreign delegations and prominent industrialists from the country and abroad giving Mr. Narendra Modi a standing ovation for the achievement by a State in attracting industrial investments at a time when the global economy was facing recession.”
A file photograph of L.K. Advani, BJP President Rajnath Singh and Narendra Modi, when the latter was sworn in as Gujarat's Chief Minister after a landslide win in the state Assembly elections in December 2007.
What accounts for Narendrabhai’s success? The answer is simple: he exemplifies the BJP’s commitment to Good Governance, Development and Security.
Gujarat has not only registered the fastest economic growth in the country, but also registered impressive successes in social development. The problem of drinking water, severe and perennial in many parts of the state, has been largely solved. The widely applauded Jyotirgram scheme has succeeded in providing 24×7 electricity supply to all the villages and hamlets in the state. School dropout rate, including in tribal areas, has drastically come down. Gujarat is a leader in slum improvement and urban renewal.
What gives me special satisfaction is that Gujarat has succeeded in brining down political and bureaucratic corruption in a way that is truly a model for other governments.
After the BJP’s success in winning a renewed mandate in the December 2007 Gujarat assembly elections, I had commented as follows:
“The Congress and its pseudo-secular supporters had sought to convert these elections into some kind of a national referendum on ‘communalism vs secularism’. Needless to say, they failed miserably in their plans.
“I consider the outcome of the Gujarat polls significant for another reason. It showed how a leader with integrity, courage and competence could count on people’s support to beat back a personalised campaign of vilification. I cannot think of any other leader in Indian politics in the past sixty years who was as viciously, consistently and persistently maligned, both nationally and internationally, as Modi had been since 2002. Sonia Gandhi even went to the extent of calling him ‘maut ka saudagar’ (merchant of death). I am happy that the people of Gujarat have given a fitting reply to the practitioners of this kind of toxic politics.”
It is amusing to find these days some sections of the media hostile to the BJP labouring hard to discern even in the Vibrant Gujarat event evidence of differences in the BJP.
I can only recall what I had said at a New Delhi press conference I had addressed shortly after our splendid victory in the Gujarat Assembly polls.
A lady correspondent had posed me the question. “Don’t you think Narendra Bhai is now becoming larger than the party? My reply to her query was: “It often happens in a family that a younger member records an achievement which no one else has made earlier. This only makes the whole family proud. The family never feels diminished on that account.”

Dear Advaniji,
this article brings out the CONFIDENCE in you and also the democratic character of BJP ,
The article also clearly pints out to the grooming of leaders and also encouragement of ‘HEALTHY COMPETITION” in BJP,UNLIKE the disgusting level of SYCHOPHANCY in CONGRESS.
January 17th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Advani ji,
Its nice that you have made this post at an appropriate time. As you had said, the media had went on a spree to create rift within BJP.
I also feel, when you and modi ji work together, the strength of BJP will be increased multi-fold.. Together, we can achieve a lot.
January 17th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
I am really happy to see you here (blog). Let the other think dream and talk; whatever they want, but we will make India a better place and we will support you to do so. “Good Governance, Development and Security” can be accomplished from ability to think as well as an Educated Citizenry.
January 17th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Please Please Please Please !!! dont ever remove Shivraj Singh from his post.
I hope our dream of Developed India has started from the “states ruled by BJP”

All my point is let Shivraj Singh be our CM for this term.He is doing the best renovation possible.
All underdevelopemen of Digvijay Singh`s Time are now washing away.
January 17th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
Sir, I would like to say this ” as a citizen of M.P” that I am proud citizen of such a hard working Chief Minister.He is working double the speed of Narendra Modi.
He categorizes the problems of Village and City very cleanly and give orders accordingly.
January 17th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Respected Sir,
It is really a matter of pride for what Mr Modi has achieved. I don’t know if you have read this article in the financial express in 2008. Here is the link

Respected Advani Ji,

Suggestions for your consideration.
1. Please avoid sending BJP people to TV discussion where the subject is of no importance to BJP.
2. Please direct your cadre top down, never ever be apologitic for any action or comment made in tune with ideology

Advaniji I am glad that Gujrat is doing great, please also guide CM of MP (my state of birth) and Karnataka (My state of Karma) to emulate Gujrat and Modiji .
All three states should benchmark itself against developed nation and lead the way for India.

At the moment all of Indian is behind you, please please get all you firebrand BJP leadres to contest in UP(Arunji, Sushmaji,Sidhu,Hema Malini) who will deffinetly win in UP.

Too good ADVANIJI. Hope all the states from India will turn into SAFFRON.Wish You & our(BJP) party Best of luck in coming future.
January 18th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
Sir,
All what you said is fine and accepted !!!!
No doubt Mr.Modi is very efficient and one of the finest chief minister country has produced.
But at the same time this is also a Fact that Godhra happened during his tenure, assuming the government was not involved and that its a political propaganda, how do you justfiy that Mr.Modi has not tried anything to restore the confidence of Muslim community in BJP government in Gujarat?
Now , one argument could be that economic benefits has trickled down to each and every religion and community (which I am sure is debatable) but it is just a compulsion of minorities as they need and shelter too !!! and it no way shows even an iota of hint that Mr.Modi feels that its his responsibility to accept the failure.
I think if Mr.Modi can do something about this and accept his failure , it will not be good for Mr.Modi but for India too!!!!!!
January 18th, 2009 at 3:33 pm

we need to inclusive for all the old janasanghis and create a strong bjp.all the leaders from bjp should go to countryside and work for betterment of the people in between the election time of mid-april.we need to take support of the cadres of rss vhp abvp and bms.
January 18th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
we want that the bjp should strongly counter attack the opponents and opposition with message that the country is not their paternal property.they shouldnot take granted the people and work at their sweet will.the congress leaders are taking the people and country as their paternal property.

Narendra Modi has cleared all doubts, once again, that he supports you as PM candidate.
In Mr. Shekhawat’s case, both of you are matured to deal with the issue amicably.
Opp. has started age factor against you. Pl. counter it effectively.
January 18th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Dear Advaniji,
While Mr.Modi deserves your appreciation,i am really amused by the lack of coverage by the media and also the leaders within the NDA on the work done by Mr.Nitish Kumar??!
cant the NDA project BJP as a case study for commitment to governance to rest of the country?
January 18th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Advaniji,
As a first step towards restoring the faith of fellow countrymen, will you please free BJP of tainted and dubious people holding party posts, and thus letting the people believe that their faith is well secured in the hands of qualified and responsible leaders?
January 18th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
The “ek kaam desh ke naam” is a great campaign and i am sure the youth will embrace with all hearts. Also, it will be great to see real life stories and initiatives, which will enthuse more and more people to endorse the campaign…
January 18th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
dear Advaniji,
The LOK-AYUKTA is fighting tooth and nail to fight corruption in KARNATAKA,but the BJP governement is in no MOOD to empower the LOK-AYUKTA justice Santosh hegde,Is governance your agenda?..LETS WALK THE TALK sir!!
January 18th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Dear Advaniji,
Please dont ignore Mr.Nitish , Patnaik and Mr.Badal ,As a political leader of experience you should be able to convey the importance of these partners to your ignorant colleauges in these respective states.NDA will collapse by the immature acts of state BJP leaders .

January 18th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
I agree advaniji NAMO has taken gujarat to new heights in terms of development.
BJP needs more young leaders like him to further strengthen the party’s ideology of Hindutva and development.
January 18th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
Hello Sir,
This blog entry is a perfect and good reply for media as well as some political leaders, who wants to create rift in a section of BJP by projecting Mr.N Modi as next PM and above all as a person above you.
January 18th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
As a genuine and honest BJP leader, Mr. N. Modi always played down this tactics and said many times that party is the supreme and not the persons and he has a tremendous respect for you.
January 18th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
I always wish that this family (BJP) always be united and will strive for the betterment and progress of this worlds greatest democratic nation.
Yours Sincerely,
Rama Krishna
January 18th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
Advaniji,
BJP at center should mobilze in states where it badly fared last election. We lost faith in Indian election when Vajpayeeji lost, but its a hard reality people still doesnt know that Congress had changed over 60 years.
Also its is very sad to see our media so much biased.

January 19th, 2009 at 3:47 am
Hello mr.advani I am impressed by the way Mr.Modi has been working for gujarat. But the same was expected in karnataka by the BJP’s first time governance.but it has been pathetic.Can u answer that?am writing this being a big fan of the parties principles.
January 19th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Advanaji,
I entirely agree with you that Gujarat has succeeded in bringing down political and bureaucratic corruption but I don’t think its the case in every BJP ruled state. In karnataka for example its the exact opposite. I am a great admirer and believer of BJP’s principles and top leadership, I was very happy to see BJP come to power in for the first time in the South but the way this government is functioning is making me think whether voting for BJP was the right choice. I wish and hope that Gujarat’s model of leadership and development can be implemented in every BJP ruled state else Gujarat will become just an exception.
January 19th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
we need bjp and nda at centre to counter the blame game.india needs to be strong enough to counter the attacks .the defence forces are strong enough but it needs to be made more strong,high tech and latest weaponry.we want that the country have a bi party system.all the small parties should be merged with both the national parties.
January 19th, 2009 at 4:48 pm

Namaste Advaniji,
Subsequent to your interesting blog on Governance which is very highly appreciated,there are some comments I would like to make:I think for a country as large as ours, that has seen terrible governance for most of its independence,it was indeed a welcome relief to have the NDA in power for 6 years,wherein we saw tremendous economic change, infrastructure development and good governance.I rue the day the NDA lost power, mainly because I can only imagine now how different our motherland would be if only the NDA would have had a consecutive term. We have similarly seen instances of best governance in various BJP/ NDA ruled states, starting with my state Goa under the able leadership of Mr Manohar Parrikar,Bihar with Mr Nitish Kumar,Gujurat,MP, Chhattisgarh, Uttaranchal, Karnataka and others.
Sahana, Goa continued
January 19th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Part 2..
As an Indian and as a Goan,I am very saddened by this move of suggesting Sri Parrikar’s name as a candidate for MP,South Goa.Obviously this decision has not been taken understanding the fine nuances of Goan politics.It will neither be healthy for the state or central BJP.Sri Parrikar is undoubtedly the best candidate to run the state of Goa and he has shown his ability to the whole country by winning the Best Governed State award in various categories, year after year, during his term as the CM. His intelligence, honesty, ability to get things done on time in the various spheres of education, infrastructure development, good governance, made him the best CM. If ever Sri Parrikar lost power, I blame it on the politics played by the UPA in sending Governor Jamir and ruining the pace of development that was in motion.
Sahana, Goa continued
January 19th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Part 3…
I am very confident that in the days to come, there will be re-elections and there is no one better person, than Sri Parrikar to take on the job. Sending him to the MP route, will only hamper the development of Goa, also to be fair I do not think it is a sure shot win for the BJP.I would humbly request the central BJP leadership to look into this matter and reconsider his name for MP. There are other good and winnable candidates who can help in strengthening the NDA government at the center.
By far Sri Vajpayeeji was the best PM we have had, and you our best Home Minister. We all are looking forward to seeing you as our next PM in June 2009.
Thank you

Namaste Advaniji,
I am great fan of yours right from the beginning. The reason behind is the bold steps that you and your party members have taken during the governance and proved other countries that even India can play World politics rather then getting engorged in internal politics. I feel if you all would had come in full majority then lot other stuffs could had taken place.
But there are certain issues which non of the political parties are taking into consideration. I understand that it is very difficult to make the thinking of the person as same in a party. But even though there should some similarity of thoughts. For example, if I see Karnataka, I can hardly find any difference between the last and the current governance. I still see the same road problem, the traffic problems, the constructions in hold in lot of places. So, as a common man, I feel that non of the governance is proving to do anything for the State. This is just one issue that I have pointed out.
January 19th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
There are other things that stills exists is the corruption at various levels of the government office. I feel few things if note down and start improving one by one, things will get better everyday. I know nothing can be improved in a single day but there has to be an initiative for it.
January 19th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
I see that people fight in the name of caste, religion, etc. Have we ever thought as why we are doing it. What is the root problem of it. One of my friend is from OBC, I never knew about him but came to know only when he took admission with that certificate. So, if you see here who is trying to create differences between people. I am not against any reservation, yes there should be reservation but not in the name of minorities, cast, religion, etc but as per the region, the region which are backward. Even this should be provided to certain extent and later i.e. during higher studies it could be just helping those persons by waiving education fees but not providing admission with different reservation scheme. Whatever reservation has to be there should be till the schoolings.
There are lot of other issues, maybe its time to note down all the major issues and start correcting one bye one and I do believe that you as a person has that caliber and can see picture in broader picture.
January 19th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
Hello Advaniji,
Glad to see you in the blogosphere. I sincerely hope that your blog would clear some of the lies that are being spun by our main stream media about yourself and BJP.
Best Wishes,

Respected Sir,
I am a B. Tech from IIT Kanpur, currently based at Bangalore .
I have and Idea which can get BJP back to pwer at centre, and at the same time help alleviate Rural Poverty at a much faster rate.
Since last one year, I have been working on the idea of using bicycle as one of the best means to eradicate poverty. Analyzing researches and experiments done on the subject, I found out that the bicycle has immense potential for rural growth and poverty reduction in India , since:
1) Per capita bicycle ownership in India is dismally low (1/7) compared to other developing nations like China and Brazil .
2) Price of bicycle in India , in relation with the per capita income, is 2 times compared to other developing nations like China and Brazil .
January 20th, 2009 at 3:17 am
3) Experiments done in Africa have shown that a bicycle can increase the income of a poor family by as much as 35%.
4) Transport has shown to have the second biggest potential to eradicate rural poverty in India in last 4 decades. Increasing bicycle density to a normal level would induce a lot of rural growth.
5) The main reason that is apparent for a low bicycle density in India is the higher relative purchase price for a family compared to other nations.
6) If the purchase price of the bicycle is gradually reduced by 50% by providing subsidy, it will cause a spurt in bicycle ownership in India and subsequent substantial productivity increase.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:18 am
7) The subsidy thus provided will be straightly targeted to the lowest strata, leak proof, and having long-lasting effects for years. Over a longer term, it would increase the productivity of about 20 crore poor people.
9) It is ironical that to support transport, huge subsidy is given on petrol, which is consumed majorly by middle class households, but not on bicycle, which is used majorly by poor households.
10) Even if rural roads are there, a dismal bicycle density means a bottleneck for the rural transport.
As BJP is the one of the two most significant political parties, I am forwarding the report made for its perusal (please click the link below). I see a hidden boon in bicycle for rural India , provided we recognize the massive improvement in productivity this equipment can bring.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:18 am
Implementing this idea can get BJP 1 crore votes in upcoming Loksabha Elections.
With regards,
Gaurav Singhal,

sir,
How can we include nearly 90 crore people into the dream that you propose when the basic needs for civic life is at its worst point ever?
January 20th, 2009 at 10:51 am
By winning Karnataka BJP has made inroads into South India, now we can call BJP a truly National party. This is a golden oportunity, please do not waste it, you will never get another one like this. Modi has done wonders in Gujarat, other BJP CM’s in MP, Chhatisgarh &even rajasthan have done a good job. Karnataka CM’s performance is pathetic.He only talks and talks, does nothing. We need fast action and visisble improvements in Karnataka, which are not diffcicult at all. If only he can come out of the cluthces of the builder,landshark& miner mafia.

Dear Advaniji,
It is really wonderful to know that you have started your own blog. It was also equally good to read your articles which will bring out your thoughts and opinions clearly to the educated masses of which a large number in favour of the Congress do not clearly understand the BJP’s ideologies. Thank you for reaching out to us through this medium. I wish you all the best for the coming elections and hope that BJP comes to power and “India shines” once again.
January 21st, 2009 at 11:01 am
Sadar pranam advani ji ,
its great to see you in this medium of communication . I just want to pay my regard to the great ever nationalist in india . from my childhood when BJP was growing to power and was in opposition . people were expecting a lot in thier eyes from you, Atal ji and some other politicians from bjp . I have gone through all your post , a perosn says may be the people over here may nt be able to vote for you , bt best wishes will be for you and that will count . but after coming to power things were never that much easy , especially run a coalition govt.
only thing that i want to be BJP from where it is started dnt go away with it . dont compromise ppl will remember you for along time as a revolutionary . make the positive changes sir .
ppl of india are always with you . the heart of india beats in name of Krishna .

Namaste. I congratulate Mr. Modi and his team to prove that Gujarat may become Role Model for forthcoming National Development Agenda (NDA). I urges Mr. Advani and Mr. Rajnathsingh that please take service of Mr. Modi to pick the right candidates for the next Lokasabha Election. I am sure that if Mr. Modi would be sworn for “Chayan Samiti”, he will do better and improve the numbers of Loksabha Seats. Vande Mataram.

the resignation of mr.kalyan singh is unfortunate,the issue of caste raised by kalyan singh is an important factor.the BJP can’t win elections with brahmins dictating terms,u got results to prove this in GUJ,MP,CHATTISGARH and KARNATAKA.

I come from the state which is called by tourist and known in tourist map as ‘gods own Country’. Years of highly communist and marxist ideolgy injected in the generation before me has made us running to other states, countries for winning our bread. No one wants to invest in kerala, though acclaimed as the moooost literate state in the country, I am ashamed to confess that generation after generation the poisoning and injection of the closed, barbaric and kind of narrow minded ideology has really made the people , i would say the most uneducated and ignorant , especially in this modern civilized world. Just recently, a young MP of Marxist from the muslim community Mr. Abdullakutty may be of my generation, came out in open after his frusturations on the State sponsored hartal, bandhs, labour union rampages and may be he was closely following the developments in Gujarat, did a big big crime as far as CPI,CPI(M) and all the LDF is concerned.

The crime of saying that we should adopt the Gujarat Model for Development of the state. He was immediately called as “insane”, “Mad” and what not. How can someone say good about GUJARAT, That too when BJP (The non-secular party as they call) is ruling and that too Modi who did a big crime to the Minority community is the CM. He clarified to the party and media even EMS (Their stalwart leader) & Lenin has always told that “for the matter of development you should not consider any politics”. But no , He has done a big crime. Some even asked how can you call himself Muslim? . So that is the state of our state.

Even BJP cadres in our state, i would say , till now, has not worked to really in grass root level. They dont have a proper leadership. I would request you , to have a greater plan for our state, BJP should atleast concentrate in districts like Palakad,Thrissur where it has got good roots, instead of just contesting in all seats.Let the entire BJP work for one or two main district. Advaniji, I sitting in a gulf Country, realises like lakhs of expat keralites here, that what is real secularism and how free is our great country , Bharath. How well they treat all as Indians, not as muslims, christains, Hindus etc? Here an Indian Muslim and Indian Hindu is treated as least priority or third class expats. I can vouch that any Indian Muslim working in Gulf (other than those affiliated to some poltical parties) will support the young MP Abdullakutty for his open statements and his view point. He didnt talk about poltics but just development of the state.

That is what each one of us is looking forward from the govt. Development, like the state of Gujarat, like whats happening in MP, slowly but steadily. Common man in Kerala is fed up with harthals and strikes. We need alternative governance like the one which is happening in Gujarat under the leadership of Narendra Modi. I dont want to work outside my state. If only kerala had better industrial development, proper infrastructure, Less strikes, Less coruption and less political gundas and mafias. less dependence on other state for our day to day staple. One more thing i would suggest, being an expat here, NRI as all of you call, whenever an election happens we follow, but feel very sad from inside, being Indians we cant vote. This should change. I can promise if you can allow the NRIs to vote i am sure BJP will win more seats. May be that is why UPA and other parties dont want that to happen.

I am sure if the BJP cadre works 24 x 7 from the grass root in each state under your strong leadership, NDA can come into power with absolute majority. All in all we the youth want less politics more development, less talks more actions. May be panchayat by panchayat, district by district , state by state we have to bring in change for good. I am sure we can, BJP can if it doesnt change from its path due to any political compulsion whatsoever. For development, security & prosperity of the country, we are with you, though ironically we cant vote being outside India.

Gujarat’s economic “vibrancy” has been overshadowed by the state government’s failure to enforce the rule of law during the 2002 religious riots.

sir,
i am really very happy and a bit surprised too that a great leader and politician like u are reaching the common man through this medium(blog). you hava really made me a great fan of yours.regarding narendra modi i think that the bimaru states like bihar,jharkhand,orrisa,mp,up,rajasthan….really needs leaders like him.
to excel in every field these states should take advice from him….but i know that gonna not happen until there is a good governence at center. this present govt is not doing anything for these states. i am frm bihar, i know nitish kumar i doing a decent job ,but i m not sure he is gonna win again this time…the caste basis politics in bihar really sucks.
i have been a follower og bjp from child.and will be until i hv blood left in my body!

Namaskar Advaniji,
2009 elections are not going to be easy for NDA mainly with some of clear visible differences of NDA of 2000/04 and NDA of 2009.
For 2000/2004 NDA Other than Vajpai and Advani there were other popular leaders be it jaswant, farnandes, khurana, varma, modi, swaraj, shourie, jagmohan, thackrey, naidu, patnaik, abdulla, karunanidhi and many others.
continued..
January 22nd, 2009 at 1:52 am
Circa 2009 other than Advani not many top brass leaders are seen in reginioal media; jaitley and other few are seen but most of time in debates on english channels. Fresh faces is another big challenge and most important issue at hand is differences with various parties of NDA alliance; in TN no big choice left, in AP no idea who will be part of NDA, in MH bjp is weak party than what it was and SS split will cause votes division, Mr patnaik is rasing concerns and showing unhappiness over few issues, Nitish kumar is keeping some distance now a days, WB no choice again, UP is again shaky with resignation of Mr singh. To be honest other than KAR, Guj, MP and few small states NDA has lots of homework to do and very fast.
What is really required is introduction of honest fresh faces and lots of media presence at regional and national level.
All the very best.
With Regards-
Vijay

Every educated english media watchers in INDIA are aware that CNN-IBN and NDTV are biased
with Congress. In that case why BJP is not coming up with their own English media. Till the
till BJP can deny and differ interviews for CNN-IBN and NDTV and can air their views through
TIMES NOW which is more moderate channel.
This has really worked in US when FOX Channel was biased towards to Republicans and Democrats
avoided the FOX. So the CNN came with the logo stating “No Bias No Bull”

Advani Ji
Nice to see your blog. I just skimmed through your blog entry. Blog entry should be short and very precise. Writing article or speech is totally different than writing blogs. Short entries will not only save your time and energy but you can communicate better and faster to bloggers. Anyway, I would to love to be part of your blog.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:35 am
Respected Advani ji,
What would you say is the central force in the BJP? For the Congress this is the divine family, while most regional parties are held together by the personality of a single leader. Would you say that the RSS is the force that keeps the BJP together?

Whats ur primary agenda for the coming elections if u assume the PM’s chair
1. uprise the economy that is dropping down?
2. teach our cruel neighbours a good lesson?
January 22nd, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Sir,
The article on vibrant gujrat was worth reading.
About the press the way it behaved during the gujrat elections i would like to comment that
do you think the donations from christan and islamic ethnic groups to electronic and print media should be banned or some kind of control is needed even self control to control almost buying of media by any group ,party or country, as it is in my opinion the biggest threat after terrorism.
January 22nd, 2009 at 9:55 pm
There is no question that Mr. Modi has done a great job and probably for the first time in India, won a re-election on the basis of performance and not on the basis of emotive issues.
However, our secular media has decided to continue to deny his due credit due to the Gujarat riots. Times of India, Deccan Chronicle, Hindustan Times have published editorials and articles criticizing Mr. Modi and nullyfying his record of accomplishments.
There is no doubt that the secularists dominate our media and most Indians do not know both side of the picture due to censorship. To counter liberal Indian media, we have started a website
http://www.bharatright.com
This website provides links to nationalist articles published in various newspapers.The articles are updated on a daily basis. The headline news stories are updated every 30 minutes.
January 23rd, 2009 at 12:00 am
Dear Mr. Advani,
It is heartening to note that you have used a blog to connect with Gen Y. I hope you will sincerely read these comments to get an idea of the pulse of the nation. While I do appreciate that you are very capable of leading our great nation, what we believe is missing in the BJP is unlike the Congress, there is no visible sign of a second rung of leadership as well as young politicians who will be ready to lead in about 10 years time. I am really glad that we have leaders like Mr. Modi who has clear direction about how we lead Gujarat. However, I am a little disappointed with things in Karnataka where we have a first time BJP government and there seems to be no visibility of development, nor is there any improvement in the Power situation.
January 23rd, 2009 at 12:02 am
Cont’d from earlier post………If BJP is serious about forming a national footprint, it should flex every political muscle in Karnataka to ensure that the BJP government is successful, in terms of development of infrastructure not just for Bangalore but all over Karnataka. My Last point is regarding how I could join the BJP…I am an Engineer from Bangalore and have lived/worked in Jamnagar, Baroda, Gurgaon, Houston-USA and currently reside in London-UK. I am deeply disturbed by the 26/11 attacks and want to return to India and make a change to our great nation. Please advise how I can make a change by joining BJP?
January 23rd, 2009 at 12:30 am
Sir,
Quote”What gives me special satisfaction is that Gujarat has succeeded in brining down political and bureaucratic corruption ” Unquote.
For this I will not give credit to only NM but even to you because he has done everything in Gujarat under you guidance. You represent Gujarat for many years now. NM and You signed more than 850 MOU for the betterment of Gujarat. (I think it is 850 and not 8500 as you said in this blog, if I am wrong, please forgive me, but that was what reported in Gujarat Samachar.)
January 23rd, 2009 at 12:31 am
further to my comment, because, your Website does not allow more than 1000 words, another drawback.
anyway, Not only Gujarat, We would love to have you in , Mumbai, I was thrilled to see The Narendra Modi at the Oberoi Trident, when the actual attack was going on and when all our Maharashtrian Ministers and our opposition were hiding their faces (including BJP leaders). The Lion of Gujarat had the courage to come all down to Mumbai and share our grief of what just 10, JUST 10 of those B…… came from sea route and siege us. Sir, I in my life time will never forget that agony. but only my leader in Mumbai had come out on that day, I would have felt safe in my city. but NO. my leader did not come out at all. but for NM.

Jyoti Basu once told media: “Write against a party in your editorial. But don’t distort the news”. A section of Press is deliberately playing these mischief for their TRP- but flip side is, a large section of people are loosing faith in media which has an important role to play in democracy.
It was great to see Shri Modi inagurating Vibrant Gujarat on auspicious day Swami Vivekanand’a birth day, national youth day. I am sure Narendra Bhai has blessings of another Narendra (Swamiji’s premonastic name)
January 23rd, 2009 at 10:52 am
Sir,
It is good to know about vibrant gujarat and no doubt credit should be given Narendra modi, I urge you to think if Mr Modi can do so much for gujarat can’nt he play bigger role in national politics,In my opinion he could be a tough home minister in present scenario.so please think over it,if NDA comes to power.
January 23rd, 2009 at 12:04 pm
As a supporter and strong follower Mr. Shishupal Patle (Acting MP of Bhandara Loksabha, Maharashtra), its my duty to put certain facts about him. He is a first ever MP of Bhandara Loksabha constituency who has raised lots of local public issues in the Loksabha than any other previous MP’s of this region.No matter whatever he raised and upto what extent he is succeed in his attempt but important thing is that he has ability to lead and trying to solve local people’s problem.One main thing about him that he is easily available for anyone, at anywhere. But current scenario created by his senior leaders of his region trying to dominate him for their own interest. We need real worker rather than dictator. Everybody knows what this senior leaders did from last 20-25 years in their leadership. They are only doing their own advertisement instead of doing work for local public. Bade bade hoarding lagane se kuch nahi hota kam karke dikhana chahiye.
January 23rd, 2009 at 12:06 pm
These guying are trying to sideline Mr. Shishupal Patle. This is really shameful. We must say that he has done really excellent job. It will very unfair with him if he will not get loksabha ticket. Party will have to send neutral observer who will investigate his working without going into the influence of Senior leaders. We have to count anybody with his working not with his seniority. It is very necessary for the future of India to bring Young People in politics. Mr. Shishupal Patle is one of them.. Hamein kisiko bhi uske achche kamo se support karna chahiye naki uske paise se ya wo kitne dino se party main hai. Agar wo party main hain aur koi kam hi nahi kar raha hai aur idhar udhar ke tikdam jamake apne kam sadh raha hai, apne beto aur bhatije rishtedaro ke bare main hi soch raha hai to yeh galat hai..

respected shri advani jee,we are highly appreciative to your chat programme.it is good beginning.but with just chat,slogan it would not work.we should be fully energized and prepared with latest electronics media and tv.our platform should be tv and we need to appear in tv daily.our party should have a supporter tv media and news content.we need to give a young look to our party.our party is not old but it is a young party unlike congress which is a party of 120 years.our leaders are young and we should handover the total electioneering to youth leaders.our synergy is with youth mass.if we can get the votes of youths of india then no power and party can defeat us.
January 23rd, 2009 at 8:39 pm
It is good to know that you have decided to reach out to masses in a tech-savvy way. Hope that more and more political leaders interact with their fellow citizens using internet media. And it need not be a one-way street using interactive mediums such as blogs, will also allow you to get feedback from citizens. Lets hope this tech race heats up as 2009 Loksabha elections near..

Thanks Bloggers for responding to my comments on media.
Freedom of expression does not mean a freedom to bais or freedom to sell yorself to arab countries and christan churches as some news channels have done.
Also no ngo has come forward to help inspector mohan chand sharma while so many come forward to help saharabbudin case
is testa sitalwad an agent of al quaida or christan mercenaries.
NGO’s should not be funded by ethnic groups.
I would like you to touch the following points in your election metingsin future.
1. A india with only 25-30 reservation for economically weak and no to caste based.
2. Need to make a political concensus to implement 2 child policy in future.
Thanks

The larger picture (of Gujarat) is: Its most urbanized state in India with a strong legacy of many socio-cultural movements. No wonder, the development vision of Modi found most fertile ground here.
Integrating development with any ideology is difficult in a democracy like India. Modi has done greatest service to Hindutva by seamlessly integrating Hindutva with development. This is where Buddhadev has failed miserably in West Bengal.
Hindutva is an ideology that was developed, nurtured by pioneering Indian nationalists - from Bankim Chatterjee to Swami Dayanand to Vivekananda to BG Tilak…Lajpat Rai…Poet Bharati and so on. Its a modern, aggressive, casteless, forward looking Hindu identity.
January 24th, 2009 at 12:51 am
PartII
The more urbanization takes place in India, the more education penetrates to grassroot, the more nation comes under attack from ‘internationalist’ ideologies (Islamism, Missionaries and Marxism), the more middle class grows, the more CASTE-LESS Hindus becomes- I am sure Hindutva will become even more powerful. The more globalization grows, so grows localization- nationalism.
When we look into the broad picture, we can understand the true meaning of great developmental work done by Modi. He has given a new meaning of Hindutva- made it compatible, expanded to the requirement of time and need. Its an achievement of first order.
It needs to be replicated all over India.

Gujrat will be vibrant only when the muslim and christians can buy flats/houses in all parts of each Gujrat city.The society’s polarisation has to be shifted to nationalism of only one nature where each citizen who lives in India is an Indian irrespective of caste, religion creed etc, has the right to profess and follow any religion of his choice lead his life of his choosing without the control of the administration. Economic growth is also important but the people are more important. A state where only one community dominates over others who generally live in fear as the authorities have a pronounced bias towards only one community can never be called vibrant where only one chord vibrates and others do not.

Per ye dekhar bahut dukh hota hai ki BJP Ke local leader/senior leader election mai agressive/bahut tej/je-jaan lagakar mehnat nahi karte, jiski wajah se delhi main congress aayi.
Aaj BJP ko acche muddoon ke saath unko phelane/prachar karne wale neta, jo ki bhinn prakar ke communication ke madhamo se prachar karke janta ko jagruk or sachet kare.
Delhi mai hamne apne shetra mai bahut mehnat ki or jeete (New ashok nagar) magar election se pehle or election ke dauran pure delhi mai aise lagta tha jaise BJP chup hai or apni jeet sunisheet samajh bheti hai. uska parinam hamne dekh liya hai.
Isliye mera apse yeh anurodh hai ko apne prachar to jamani satah se tej kare aur pragati or atankwad or bhrastachar ke jwalant muddo ko puri taaaakat se uthaye.

I am excited to see our nation’s political leaders using blogs as a medium of interaction with the public.
While it is fair to claim that Gujarat has attracted investment in such troubled times, I think we also have to address the abysmal sex ratio of roughly 873/1000 in Gujarat which is a disturbing figure and also the lowest. The one true mark of a just and progressive society is its fairness to women. I hope that the Gujarat chief minister will pursue an aggressive campaign to dissuade people from abusing medical advances. We have to make India a better place for women.
February 2nd, 2009 at 8:33 am
Dear Advani ji,
I am a eagerly follower of BJP and great fan of Narendhra bhai ji. I strongly belive that BJP only can save our hindus in our own nation. I request you to please ban foriegn investment in indian medias. Because they are tottaly against of hindu leaders and spreading very bad imeages about our own culture and our hindu leaders to the huge public.
U cannot see even one lady with sindhoor in their forehead on the news channels. That much they want do drop down our hindu culture and emotion of hindus in india. please save us sir. Our last hope is you and BJP only.

Respected Sir,
I agree that Sri Narendra Modi is attracting industrial investments at a time when the global economy was facing recession. But ECONOMIC GROWTH IS NOT ALONE ENOUGH FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF STATE. THE WAY CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS ARE TREATED IN GUJRAT BY THE SANGH PARIVAR UNDER MODI GOVERNMENT IS A ABSOLUTE SHAME. MODI “supports Fund Violence Systematically & Privately “.
LETS REMEBER WHAT Minnesota Congresswoman Betty McCollum wrote in a letter to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice “Granting a visa to Narendra Modi would be
contradictory to international law and would only
serve to validate the Chief Minister’s abhorrent
policies and actions”

Respected Advani ji, its truly an honour to see such a viberant definition of Gujrat that you have made and ofcourse all can see it being implemented on the ground. I still dream if the same story or even better can any day be true for Uttar Pradesh, the state I belong to. We have a lady CM who is proactive in improving the fate of the state, but sadly & unfortunatly all in cosmatics & not in wealth creation…
I am with you & hope others can also see the events happening around them & even in global prospective & become dynamic enough to be with party who has been dynamic in its character..
February 6th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Advaniji Namaste..
Can following things be done
1) Increase in police forces as we are trying to deal with huge population.
2) Equip them with good infrastructure so that they can reach the place where crime is happening as soon as possible.
4) Equip them with latest weapons. Police cant prevent crime with a lathi in hand in this advanced world.
3) Increase number of courts and judges in huge number as I feel if one can get justice in time he/she will not fear to take action against crime and dishonesty.
4) If somebody commits a crime it should be registered in a centralized system where one can get information about particular person. It will help employers as well as banks and common people and all those criminals will also think of it in advance before committing any crime.
5) Permission to file case against any government offices
Can this be done as soon as possible. Can we do this so that we can make tomorrows india fearless. And I am looking at you with great hope.
Thank you

Not Just gujrat but ” Bharat Vibrant ”
Namaskar Anvani ji,
It is good to see the concept of gujrat vibrant materialising but is it the exalted cause the nation requires. The nation is a unique composite mix of unique states. The strongest chain is only as as strong as its weakest link. And we all know how weak the link is. The weakest link was revealed by the latest attacks in Mumbai revealing our deficiencies and weaknesses innate in this system.
why cant we think on a larger canvas. When president Obama took oath he said ” god bless the united states of America ” against the customary saying ” God bless america ” stressing the need to have a common goal which will unite the white americam, black american,yellow american,brown american etc…..
it is good that revolution has started in one place called gujrat. But is it really good eneough.what can be done to spread this revolution throughout india ?
may divinity guide us in our divine endeavours

Resp sir,
This is the first time i have come across this website and i found it captivating. I am impressed by your blogs and replys people have left and more interesting is that a muslim friend too has favoured the BJP(usually which is not a common case).
This is the place where the youth can share their views about the party(BJP) and help transform it into more effecient and able one.
I read the “Vibrant Gujarat” article its a great accomplishment by Mr Modi and I am happy that Karnataka too wants to go the Gujarat way. What is worrying me now the most is the recent attacks on Christians in Karnataka and the Mangalore pub incident,which is being compared to the Taliban which is horrifying. The BJP Govt hasnt done much to arrest the perpetrators, I am afraid that i have to think twice to vote for the BJP in the coming elections. I would be glad if you take effective measures to bring justice to the victims who have suffered in these incidents.

To me, the desperation of Mr.Modi to show development in Gujarath shows his desperation in wiping out his bad image on the gujarath masaccare, which many (including US) beleive till date was architected by this man. To be frank, BJP should avoid bringing him to the center stage as it would be really affecting its chances in states like TN,AP where Modi’s image is quite bad. I like the party structure, discipline, aspiration and integrity available in BJP which are completely missing INC, but the only issue I have choosing BJP is its inactiveness in opposing the right extremists (am really upset with whats happening in karnataka, really pulls down BJP’s chances in that state by a great degree). Good Luck to AdvaniJi.
February 14th, 2009 at 3:10 am
Dear Advani ji,
In my opinion vibrant Gujarat is because of two reasons. First, it received lot of attention in media for that godhra incident. Second, because of govt.development works. In this parliamentary campaign, stress should be given to employment and formers issues. Let the terrorism be a common and secondary issue. For a common man in village, food and shelter is more important than what is going on in Mumbai or Bangalore. I here by suggesting to concentrate on region’s regional issues in the campaign throughout. That will fetch more votes. For in Karnataka, speaking about Ram mandir is irrelevant to certain extent, though hinduthva may be a common. Communal speeches may fetch positively in Gujarat ,but not in Karnataka.
I want to see you PM of my country sir. That creates a hope for youths like me to enter politics and serve the nation.

BJP has no chance without Narendra Modi . In the interest of India and BJP please step down . Deleting my comments will not improve your chances. Jai Hind

Sir,
Why BJP says about RAM Temple at the time of election. You have promised to construct it last time but failed to do so. Some people ask we need development instead of RAM Temple BUT I believe RAM Temple is must. Come to Tirupathi the worlds richest temple, they are providing free food and shelter. Building schools for free education and hospitals for free treatment to poor people from the money donated by coman and rich people. Now they are funding to Govt water and other projects. RAM Temple means free food and shelter, education and free medical treatment for poor and the development of state and its economy by funding its projects. We Want RAM Temple. JAI SRI RAM and JAI HIND.

Dear Advani Ji,
Just wanted to know “Do u appriciate the development work done by the congress” If yes then why dont u let them rule for some more time in Delhi and let them finish whatever good things they have started..

Dear Advaniji,
Please ask Karnataka BJP government to follow Gujarat model in Karnataka also. The northern Karnataka region has absolutely no infrastructure & industries. However Hubli-Dharwad holds lot of potential to be become the next Bangalore of Karnataka. This will eventually help rest of northern Karnataka develop and become economically sound.
Please put pressure on Karnataka BJP government to develop Hubli-Dharwad belt.
Thank you.

Clean energy - Bull power.
I read an interest article when in hindu when i was trying to find out cleaner source of energy.
http://www.hindu.com/2005/02/20/stories/2005022006830500.htm
Student has established that electricity is generated through movement of wheel. GE site which provides 3.6 mw wind mills:
http://www.gepower.com/prod_serv/products/wind_turbines/en/36mw/index.htm
IIT professor has done a study where he has mentioened that bull can pull up to 200kg. Mix of both models
Use Bull to generate mechanical movement
User multiple gears [ similar to clock ] to increase revolution per minute. It is critical for creation of stable electricity
Pass on this RPM to GE turbines to generate 3.6 mw power.
On deployment in village can provide employment.Email to Gujarat Govt. <greengujrat@gujaratindia.com

Hi
When will NDTV stop vindictive campaign against gujarat because it does not like modi. INterview of the municipal commission is as under :
1. 10000kg of used needles are supposed to go for recycling
2. Unscrupulous elements purchased the same for re-branding and reselling.
Government had gone one step to seal all the godown which collect the plastic waste for recycling to avoid any further damage.
12 doctors have been arrested. All is what i could gather from your news channel. Pls publish complete information rather then half truth.
Since it is against NDTV, this did not get published. This is their belief on freedom of speech

Respected L.K.Advaniji
One instance you mentioned in your article that a lady expressed her feeling of worry in front of you regarding the Narendra Bhai is becoming larger than the party & you have gently replied her….. I want to add some more words to the sentence – that there should be some weighty metals in one side of the measurement tool of society to equalize the system. You, Mr.Modi & Atalji are the metals as per my point of view is concerned.

Dear Advani ji,
1/2
I just want to ask few questions from you that
1. Is Gujarat is truly vibrant? Answer this question from your heart, not the political answer sir. Why I am asking you sir if we will not face the truth you will never do the better and best.
2. What is do you mean by vibrant or development?
If Gujarat is truly vibrant then why it is not passing all over India?
Some of the facts I want to share with you that
1. 70% OF THE CHILDREN POPULATION UNREACHED BY PUPLIC AND PRIVATE PRE-SCHOOL SERVICES.
2. 47% OF INDIAN CHILD IS UNDER WEIGHT AS COMPARE TO 29% IS SUB-AFRICA, WHICH IS IMPORTING FOOD GRAIN.
3. 79.2% CHILDREN AGED UNDER 35 MONTH ARE ANAEMIC AND INCREASING GARADUALY.

Dear Advani ji
2/2
Actually we are failing to provide above to common people of India, even in Gujarat also Sir. Common man has nothing to do with regionalism (as they know that he has to migrate from one part to other) and religionam (they know that he will not get any thing out of it). He has noting to do with what is going with RIL /TATA/BIRLA and SATAYAM as they know that end result will ultimately pass to them only not to politician or industrialist. He bothered and concerned about 3 things.
1. want food
2. want education
3. Want good health.
And combination of these three is base for development. Yes we also can’t ignore industrialist, both has to be balanced.
Also want to give one suggestion that sir never be biased for any one as you know the truth what happen in Gujarat especially in Godhra. So pls. assured nation that main culprit must be panelized once you came into the power.
February 28th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
DEAR ADVANI JI
One more issue sir Terrorism and naxalism, sir nobody joined terrorism and naxalism as a carrier option. They are into it because of 3 above region and we have to solve it. How?
None of the political party has answer but have, I am working on it and am sure that I will minimized it as per my plan and I am looking help for you also sir.
Beast of luck for upcoming election which can be announced tomorrow or in next week.

Hello Advani ji,
Its very Great to interacting with you, I wish u all the best for you coming election.
BJP should come with flying colors…………………
March 5th, 2009 at 6:30 am
IF YOU REALLY WISH TO GET THE SUCCESS IN THE ELECTION THAN GO ALONE IN THE COMING LOK SABHA ELECTION AND GET THE PEOPLE SUPPORT AND YOUR AGENDA TO BUILD RAM MANDIR AND ANOTHER IMPORTANT ISSUE OF NATIONAL INTEREST. BREAK ALL ALIANCES WITH THE GREEDY AND OPPORTUNIST PARTY LIKE AJIT SINGH,SHIV SENA,OM PARKASH CHAUTALA,BADAL AND SO MANY OPPORTUNISTIC REGIONAL LEADERS OF THE VARIIOUS POLITICAL GIROH. YOU HAD SUPPORT MULAYAM SINGH AND LOST YOUR GRASS ROOT LEVEL IN UP. DECLARE 544 CANDIDATE OF BJP IN THECOMING LOK SABHA ELECTION AND SEE THE RESULT AND PEOPLE OF INDIA WILL REALLY SUPPORT YOU. GET RID OF BAISHAKHI OF VESTED INTEREST.
March 7th, 2009 at 10:34 am
hi,
I truly appreciate the vibrancy Mr Modi has created. He has enunciated on the holistic development. He is truly in love with Gujrat.
As elections are coming up in the near future and i would certainly like BJP to win the election. I have certain issues as a voter/shareholder. I feel that the statements made by BJP spokespersons addressing their election winning criterion is very negative and non-proactive. We are constantly trying to figure out mistakes done by the Congress in the past without providing a plan of action to improve various issues.We the young generation is wanting to know the plans and actions which will help the nation. The awareness of the mistakes made by the congressmen can be point made but not the entire voting criterion.
Also we should address all this in a very sublte mode in election advertising which i think Mr Arun Jaitley is handling not to the best of his ability. High hopes will not let us shine!
thanks and regards

Respected Sir,
sir i want to tell you something abt our party policy implemented in Gujarat.Sir what congress party did before 61 year now our party do that after 61 year. In congress party most of young leader has their family back ground. their father is in politics. like Milind deora, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Rahul gandhi,Ashok Cauhan and many more.all congressi is mental slave of Gandhi-Nehru Family.Bjp give ticket to Jaswantsingh’s son and Maneka’s Son And Rajnath Singh’s Son is in waiting List. In Gujarat Dilip Sanghani’s Son Or Brother both are in waiting list for loksabha electtion. In Amreli no Common people have right to progress in politics becoz Amreli is reserved for Sanghani’s.He is chairman of Amreli district co-operative bank and his younger brother is vice chairman and his another brother is president of BJP yuva morcha. Sir i ask you Is this Democracy?? i think party accepted Sanghani’s as a KING OF AMRELI.
March 15th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
Respected sir,
please analysis why our party was defeted in 2004 election? before some day Rahul Gandhi Campain For young worker recruitment. why ? becoz in this election morethan 8 crore younger may give their vote first time and most of them not connected with any political party. sir i ask you why our party not doing such type of campaign. we are walk on path of Sardar Patel. Sardar Patel was realistic and Nehru was Ideologist but when we were in rule we act like Ideologist. we do not care common people of INDIA. please make sure that when we are in Govt. and see which type of effect of our govt.’s decision on commmon people. when we understand this after that our party not defeat in any election. thanking you…………Vande Matarm

Namaste Advaniji,
I just have two questions to ask you, how do you define a Hindu- someone who is proud of the Babri Masjid demolition, someone who denies Zahira Sheikh her rights to justice and someone who attacks their own people for talking to people who are not followers of Lord Ram( as in Mangalore).
Or would you define a Hindu as being tolerant to any religion and assimilate all cultures and let them become a part of India, and not be loud of their own beliefs. Why is the definition of Hindu so religion centric and not people centric?
I want to vote for BJP candidate for the Lok Sabha elections but I am not sure whether my country would retain its secularism under your leadership. Why is the BJP being so vocal about Hindutva. It is an identity of the majority, yes, but does that mean we lose our culture of tolerance and start intimidating every non-Hindu identity?…

Dear Sir,
It’s great to see a blog where an individual can post his comments. I am a big follower of BJP. Well just wanted to present some ideas and strategy from my side to strengthen the BJP party. I think we are not propperly utilising the name Narendra Modi. I feel his name should be used more often in the elections than before. I am staying in the opposition dominated area and people here are often inclined to your oposition. But when discussing on politics I came to know that many are ready to back the BJP with the name MODI. There are 2 proposals i would like to make. Hope its acceptable to you.
1) Kindly announce Mr. Narendra Modi’s name for the home ministry and see the vote flowing or
2) Kindly announce Mr. Narendra Modi’s name as a propable candidate for the PM.
Sir, pls dont mind my second thought. I want you to be the PM but by announcing that it will help BJP and also the nation.
Thanking You,
Jai Hind
