Modi Café on college campuses to woo youths

PTI | New Delhi | 6 Feb 2014 (update 07/02):: To encourage youths to support Narendra Modi, BJP's youth wing has selected 10,220 "campus ambassadors" who will start 'Modi Cafes' in their respective colleges across the country to seek votes for the BJP's prime ministerial candidate.

Modi counters Sonia`s `fields of poison` remark, says Congress spews venom

Hemant Abhishek | Zee News | Januaty 02, 2014:: Narendra Modi on Sunday hit back at Sonia Gandhi over her 'zeher ki kheti' barb, saying it is the Congress which sows and spews poison and reaps the harvest from it by its divisive politics.

Modi accused the Congress of putting one religion against another, one caste against another and one state against another.

"Sonia Gandhi has told Rahul that power is poison. Who has been in power for most of the time during the last 60 years?.. In whose stomach has this poison gone? Who is spewing this poison? Who is harvesting the poison? They (Congress) are the ones who sow the seeds of poison," the BJP prime ministerial candidate said at a rally here.

He said the country is seeking answers from Congress to its issues but its replies are wayward. "People are asking Sonia Gandhi why farmers are committing suicide, her reply is people are sowing seeds of poison."

Modi's counter-attack came a day after Sonia Gandhi at a rally in Karnataka accused Modi and BJP of indulging in divisive politics by "sowing seeds of poison" (zeher ki kheti) and instigating violence in their "hunger" for power.

In his 50-minute speech, Modi attacked the Congress, ruling Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh and the AAP government in Delhi and sought a mandate in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections by projecting himself as 'chowkidar' who will guard public funds.

NCP contradicts Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Narendra Modi, says court's word final.

MODI TIMES MODI TIMES MODI TIMES MODI TIMES MODI TIMES MODI TIMES

Accept court's clean chit to Modi: Praful Patel

Rediff News | Mumbai | january 29 2014:: Any judicial pronouncement on Narendra Modi's alleged involvement in the post-Godhra riots should be accepted and should not be questioned further, according to a senior leader of the Nationalist Congress Party.

"We are in an era when we believe that the judicial system is the final recourse to getting justice on any issue or to bring finality to any controversy and if the judicial system has given any pronouncement, we ought to respect it. We will not question it further," Union minister Praful Patel told reporters.

He was replying to questions on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's attack on the Gujarat chief minister in a television interview, accusing his government of abetting and pushing the 2002 riots in the state.

Patel said it was for each one to give his or her version in an interview but politics was based on the perception of not just the politicians but the public too.

"But the fact remains that if the judicial system has given a certain finality to any controversy, then we should let it rest there," the NCP leader said.

Meanwhile, Farooq Abdullah, Union minister and a leader of the National Conference, refused to be dragged into the Modi controversy.

Whether Modi wins or loses, it will be the people of India who will decide who will be the next prime minister, said Abdullah.

Both the NCP and the NC are allies of the Congress in the ruling United Progressive Alliance.

Modi tea stall near Rahul's interaction venue in Raipur.

BJP's experiment: Modi tea stall near Rahul's interaction venue in Raipur

Ejaz Kaiser | Hindustan Times | Raipur | January 29, 2014 :: As Congress workers will gather on Wednesday in Chhattisgarh capital Raipur to listen to party vice-president Rahul Gandhi, they will also find their way to a Narendra Modi tea stall set up near the venue.

Rahul will visit Raipur in the afternoon to hold a dialogue session with party workers and leaders where he is expected to take questions and address the gathering at the city's indoor stadium.

The timing and venue of BJP's tea experiment to connect with the voters is going to raise eyebrows.

The responsibility of managing BJP prime ministerial candidate Modi's tea vendor symbolism - Chai Choupal and Chai pe Charcha - has been taken up by the state unit of Bhartiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM).

The campaign is centred around tea stalls and is meant to take Modi's message to the heart of local political discussions in India and remind people of his own humble origins as a tea vendor.

It also aims to turn the jibes made about Modi's tea-seller background by rival politicians in recent weeks to his advantage.

Modi will officially launch the campaign on February 1 in Gandhinagar, by interacting live with people at 1,000 tea stalls across 300 parliamentary constituencies using a combination of internet, television broadcast technology, mobile and social media platforms.

"We are setting up mobile tea stalls at various points across the city to offer tea free of cost. It might be a sheer coincidence that today's spot is close to the venue where Rahul Gandhi is visiting. Our aim is just to run a campaign in support of BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, who gets the opportunity to assume nation’s top responsibility as against the Congress where the dynastic rule prevails," the BJYM state president Anurag Singhdeo told Hindustan Times.

He insisted that they have nothing to do with the Congress event.

"The date-wise spot selection had been planned earlier," he said.

The Congress has criticised the move and said that it's not a mere coincidence that the BJYM hopes to stir up their campaign on Modi through the tea stall close to the venue.

"The BJP is known to create needless controversy," said Congress spokesperson Shailesh Nitin Trivedi.

65th Republic Day Message of Sri Narendra Bhai Modi.

MODI TIMES MODI TIMES MODI TIMES MODI TIMES MODI TIMES MODI TIMES

Looking towards the future and strengthening our Republic with the motto of India First: Narendra Modi on 65th Republic Day.

Dear Friends,

Today, we celebrate our 65th Republic Day. 64 years ago, on this very day; we formally became a Republic and adopted our Constitution. Today is a day of national strength and self confidence.

Republic Day fills each and every one of us with strong emotions. It brings to mind powerful images of India’s military, parading to the world its full might and grandeur. It makes us salute once again the selfless patriotism of our women and men in uniform. It inspires us with the moving accounts of the bravery and gallantry award winners.

Today is also a day to look back and cherish our glorious past! Remember the sacrifices of the great women and men of the freedom struggle. Remember the members of the Constituent Assembly, who gave us in our Constitution a rooting force we can be very proud of. Today we renew our faith and commitment in this sacred text that has made India what it is. We pay our tributes to the venerable Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, whose anchoring role can never be forgotten.

Importantly, today is also a day for introspection. What does the Republic of India stand for? What does it mean to us? What direction has it been headed in over the last seven decades? And what does it need to do in the coming years?

One phrase that has been gaining significant traction of-late is the ‘Idea of India’. Public and academic discourse around this has been hijacked by a select few, becoming a powerful tool in furthering their hegemony over the same. Many have asked me in lengthy op-eds, on social media and so on that “Modi ji everything else is alright but what is your Idea of India”? Others have not been so kind, preferring to debate my party’s very suitability with this ‘Idea of India’ itself.

However, one must understand that no single person or entity can appropriate the ‘Idea of India’. BJP’s National Council Meet last week gave me the opportunity to share some glimpses into what my ‘Idea of India’ was as well.

First and foremost, my understanding of the ‘Idea of India’ fundamentally rejects such a hegemonic conceptualization of an ‘Idea of India’. The Rig Veda teaches us: ‘आ नो भद्राः क्रतवो यन्तु विश्वतः’. That is ‘let noble thoughts flow from all sides’! This is not just a mantra, but a central tenet of our Constitution as well. Ours is a path of tolerance. Of the celebration of diversity. Where every Indian not just envisions, but works towards building the India of his or her dreams. My ‘Idea of India’ calls not just for tolerance, but a celebration of all points of view. Where the sensibilities of every individual are respected.

Truth, Peace and Non-violence form the central tenets of the ‘Idea of India’!Our scriptures teach ‘सत्यमेव जयते’, that Truth alone triumphs. I am committed to such an India where the wheels of justice move quickly and equally for every Indian irrespective of his class, caste or creed. An India where injustice has no legal nor moral validity. Read more here>>>

Let us have faith in our nation and our people. Let us walk the path shown by our great leaders, as a fitting tribute to their selfless sacrifice. Let us devote ourselves to the cause of nation building with the mantra of ‘India First’! Let us together build a nation that once again redefines the story of mankind!

Forever yours in this journey of development,

Narendra Modi

Welcome NAMO, the PM in Awaiting. BJP will get 275 plus, may exceed 300: Modi Times

MODI TIMES MODI TIMES MODI TIMES MODI TIMES MODI TIMES MODI TIMES

How BJP and NDA will get the majority in next Lok Sabha by defeating Congress and UPA in the General Election, 2014 with a virtue of Modi Magic.

Modi Times Bureau | Kolkata | 25 January 2014:: The Modi wave may take a shape a Modi Cyclone for the coming Parliamentary Election. A confidential report of Central Intelligence Agency narrates that the Cyclone may prove it as a fatal consequences for Congress and UPA (United Progressive Alliance) which may be arrested under 100.

While various poll surveys give unquestionable victory for BJP and NDA (National Democratic Alliance), some congress agents in different media houses suppress the shameful defeat of Congress and they are making a sense that BJP will not get the majority to run the next Govt. under the Prime Minister-ship of Narendra Bhai Modi.

But, efforts of the crooked media will be futile as the popular votes for Modi will earn a thumping majority in Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) in favour of BJP and NDA, without any confusion. The Modi Times Bureau has conducted a social media survey along with some field analysis and got expert opinion that Modi is coming as a Champion of the coming election war between NDA and UPA. Our experts have got no pulse in favour of AAP (Aam Admi Party) in this context and opined that the initial craze for AAP will be rapidly decreased before the real time as the party is loosing its popularity in its Delhi bastion.

Table- A.

As per the estimate of Modi Times Bureau BJP and NDA will get 275 plus and may exceed the limit of 300.

Though some poll surveys hint that BJP will do extreme well in NJP run states like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chattishgarh, the Non BJP states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand will give unbelievable dividends for BJP's majority in Lok Sabha. In other reports it is also mentioned that BJP will get good numbers of MP (Member of Parliament) from Maharashtra, Assam and even from Kerala.

In the table A, the party/alliance wise seat sharing is presented in a comparison with the estimation of another survey conducted by First Post. The related reports for poll surveys by different agencies/media are also published here for getting the reality of the Victory of BJP in NDA and the defeat of Congress in UPA.

To ensure the victory of BJP and NDA, Narendra Modi is likely to attend more that 100 big rallies throughout the country to boost a new pulsation in favour.

Decisive Hindu votes will play a major role this time as a Hindu Vote bank for BJP to elect a Nationalist force in the centre for a stable Govt. for the next five years.

Modi - Ram combination for 2014 Lok Sabha Poll.

Ramdev to go on door-to-door campaign for Narendra Modi

TNN | Bangalore | Dec 29, 2013:: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Saturday said he will organize a door-to-door campaign—Vote for Modi—in the run up to the 2014 polls.

Ramdev, who was speaking at the Press Club, came down heavily on the Nehru family and the Congress. "Corruption exists in all parties. But politicians like Modi, Mamata Banerjee and Naveen Patnaik are not corrupt. The difference between the Congress and the BJP is that even the top leaders of the former are corrupt," he said.

Referring to Rahul Gandhi as a 'baccha', he said Modi is like the Himalayas and Rahul is too small. "Rahul has become a zero from hero. He hasn't done anything in the past 10 years, what will he do now," he said. He said he hopes to get answers from Modi on January 5 regarding problems faced by the common man in the fields of agriculture, education and health.

The yoga guru didn't even spare the new Delhi chief minister. "Arvind Kejriwal made three mistakes. He didn't stick to his promise of neither lending nor taking support from any party. He went on to take support from the Congress. He also passed comments against Anna Hazare," said Ramdev. "The day they file an FIR against Sheila Dikshit, the support will end," he said.

Baba said he doesn't believe that the Aam Aadmi Party can replicate its success in other states. "AAP can cause side effects but can't have a big impact," he said, assuring people that he will never enter active politics but only support politics that ensures a good democracy.

Narendra Modi, Arvind Kejriwal no match to Rahul Gandhi: Lalu Prasad

Muzaffarnagar | TOI | Dec 29, 2013:: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Sunday said Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal are no match to Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi.

Lalu assessed that Arvind Kejriwal and Narendra Modi is nothing in front of Rahul Gandhi.

"Rahul Gandhi is Rahul Gandhi. It is the media, which has created the hype about Kejriwal and Modi," claimed Lalu.

He also attacked the AAP saying, "In a month, people of Delhi will realise that they have made a mistake. People don't know what kind of people they are, especially the people living in slums don't know about their mistake.

"The dream Kejriwal has showed to the people is nothing but a big drama. He will set the worst record of governance in Delhi. He is no Raja Harishchandra," he added.

Lalu, who is on a visit to Muzaffarnagar relief camps and meet the families of riot victims, said, "Muzaffarnagar riot victims were in relief camps and during that time I was in jail. I got to know that many children have died due to the cold. So, I had decided that I would definitely visit the relief camps and meet the families staying there."

Prasad, whose party is expected to have an alliance with the Congress for the next Lok Sabha polls, came in Muzaffarnagar Sunday morning.

His visit is being coordinated by Rajya Sabha member Mohammed Adeeb. Adeeb was made the member of the upper house with the support of the Samajwadi Party and the Congress.

Prasad is expected to visit half a dozen relief camps inhabited by members of the Muslim community.

Prasad is considered a popular leader among the community and his party RJD had been in power in Bihar for 15 years largely on the basis of MY (Muslim-Yadav) combination.

Prasad, who had arrested BJP leader L K Advani during the Ram Janambhoomi movement in the 1990s, has been projecting himself to be a true secular and talking about playing a larger role in halting the march of Narendra Modi-led BJP.

Lalu's visit comes a week after Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi made an unannounced visit to to the riot-hit areas of Muzaffarnagar district and relief camps to meet the affected people from both the Muslim and Hindu communities.

Modi is more the Modi and the Modi-fying symbol of India.

A rejoinder to the Anti Modi article in Economist Newspaper

Dr Mrs Hilda Raja| Chennai | Dec 25, 2013:: The Indian Express of Dec 20th carried an article from the Economist on page(9) on Modi.-titled Narendra Modi –“A man of some of the people-A populist with a nasty past and a decent economic record wants to run India”. (Link given ).

I think the author used his colored spectacles and wrote that article. It was not only biased but very crude.The analysis was meant only to show Modi in a bad light.What is the ‘nasty past’ of Modi? Going through the article which is so prejudicial even I was unable to detect the ‘nasty past’ of Modi Let me assure the author that Modi is not a man of some people but a man of most of the people.

The author must be a sycophant from the court of the ‘prince’ and that explains why even the comparisons are so skewed. The caption that ‘despite receiving little schooling and not being of a high caste Mode rose…..This under the file picture on the same page says it all. So the author has exposed his bias.The very fact he has mentioned of schooling and caste bringing in the social yard sticks by which he has measured Modi. We have had great politicians who had hardly passed the 5th standard and yet they made good politicians. On the other hand we have an economist of a PM who has sent the country down the drain. We have Mrs Sonia Gandhi with not much schooling and still managed to reign as Empress of India and dictate to the economist PM-who through her NAC runs the country. How is Modi less schooled than Mrs Sonia Gandhi? Talking about caste what caste does Sonia and Rahul Gandhi belong to?

The author has demeaned himself by even commenting “At rallies Mr Modi, who looks like a barrel -chested cross between Father Christmas and a professional wrestler” What if one has to say that the Prime Minister looks like a fox and functions as a robot. Does it read well? Rahul Gandhi looks like he is lost in wonderland and needs to read Alice in Wonderland .I am just putting this to show how irrelevant these are to the main issue. Yes, Narendra Modi is the Prime ministerial candidate and that has sent the jitters down the spine of the Congress and its sycophants .The author does not see how the country has suffered from the Congress’ actions and inactions. How the people have become servile and pushed to a corner. How after 57 years of its ruling the country the nation is more backward than it was formerly. How starvation and pauperized the people are. How the corruption has shaken the very fabric of the government. Right from the top down to the bottom it is a corrupt government that we have.

Now comes the relevance of Modi-a strong no nonsense leader with strong leadership qualities is what the nation needs. How can any nation become strong when it is steeped in corruption? It is not as though corruption is in small areas.It is not only massive but wide spread. Every single neta is corrupt. But one cannot point a finger on this score against Modi. For example, Modi takes a salary of Rs 12553 and manages with three personal staff. While the average salary of a CM is 5 lakhs and a personal staff up to 22 people.

When it comes to Mrs Sonia Gandhi)In her last affidavit she had mentioned that she has an ancestral house in Italy –as the only immovable asset .She also mentioned that she borrowed money from her daughter. In the recent affidavit her net worth has been calculated to 2 billion, making her richer than Queen Elizabeth, the Sultan of Omar, the Prince of Monaco and the Sheikh of Kuwait(IE Dec3rd )This goes to prove the quantum of corruption and the mother head of it all. Everyone knows how Mrs Sonia Gandhi came to India and with what. What were her assets and what was her qualification. How has she acquired such wealth? Does she not owe the people of India an explanation? If Mrs. Sonia Gandhi has amassed such wealth what about others? Will she be able to accuse others? Will she be able to stem corruption? Can a dirty Hand clean the nation’s financial sheet? What if Modi has amassed even a fraction of the assets which today is attributed to Mrs Sonia Gandhi? How will the political parties and the media react?

We have a PM who abets corruption. There is complete paralysis of the government both at policy level and at the governance level. There is a dual power centre-I am sorry- there is only one power centre and that is an extra constitutional one that revolves round Mrs Sonia Gandhi-and the PM is just a puppet. It is from this background and this ‘inner circle’ that Rahul Gandhi comes out and is projected as the Prime Ministerial candidate.

He who never fails to talk of change must change first the very ascendancy of himself. Must start right at the top and not just talk of change. This is the backdrop in which Modi has to be seen and it must be understood that the people have got fed up of the Congress. The writing on the wall is clear.May be persons like the author and other sycophants are on denial mood that there is no anti-Congress wave. There is not only an anti Congress wave but also a pro Modi wave.And we have a powerful lobby trying to arrest his rise.This lobby certainly does not stand to gain and is not pro national. It wants the same old netas and the corrupt Congress to continue with of course some cosmetic changes.

The country has lost its vitality and is considered as a soft nation. The media is biased against Modi and hence harps on his ‘nasty past’ What is the nasty past may I ask? If the Congress which had imposed Emergency on this nation can continue, if the Congress party which had organized and engineered an Sikh pogrom in the after math of Mrs Gandhi’s assassination is being absolved why should the Gujarat riots of 2002 be held against Modi? It makes no difference if Amarya Sen thinks so…he is a sycophant of the Gandhis and his reasoning has no logic because he says that Sonia Gandhi and Rahul were not in the government while the Sikh pogrom took place in 1984 while Modi was the CM during the Gujarat riots. For one thing how does it absolve Mrs Sonia Gandhi and Rahul when the Congress party is the same and those who incited the people and led them to the Sikh shanties were all rewarded with ministerial berths, and when Rajiv Gandhi justified the pogrom. The same line -the same dynasty is ruling and wants to continue.This butchering of thousands of Sikhs is absolved but Modi is not-there is a difference between riots and pogrom.In the Gujarat riots Hindus were also killed.They may be fewer but this is not the first communal riot in Gujarat or in India and there has been riots in other parts of the country.Riots have been almost a feature of this nation because of the policies followed by the Congress and other political parties.So to hold the Gujarat riots as Modi’s ‘nasty past’ is absolutely off sync. And Rahul Gandhi goes on reminding the people what his father did and what his grandmother did and what his great grand father did etc..The legacy baggage also contain the tens of thousands of Sikh lives that were brutally butchered-the destruction of the houses,rape of Sikh girls arson and plunder.Legacy baggage cannot be sorted out at the discretion of Amartya Sen,and the Gandhis and the Congress party.

Modi has not divided the nation-Modi is not communal. It is the biased perception of the Congress and all other political parties-For example are the RJD, BSP, SP not communal? Yet has the Congress not allied with these? All the political parties thrive on communalizing the people on the basis of caste, region and religion. And to top it all the Congress’ appeasement policy is communal in its very inception, its operation and its goal. Why put the odium on Modi and call him communal and divisive?

It is a fact that Rahul Gandhi is not fit to lead the nation. He has a long way to go and must prove himself. Everything was given unto him. He did not earn anything through hard work. So one can only laugh when he talks of change. How did he become the Vice President of the Congress party? A democracy is not based on birth-a dynasty is a negation of democracy and reveals that we do not have true democracy. Simply because other netas follow the same pattern does not make democracy vibrant. It seems that the politicians all want to follow the dynasty route-this because it is the easy route to mint money, no accountability and no work load, no prescribed norms, easy life. A look at the assets of all our netas will reveal this-the enormous assets for the past five years-their life style substantiates this. And to cap all this there is no basic qualification called for!

To get back to the MODI –a man of some of the people…”the author has labored to show how his achievements are not flawless. For this he quotes Amartya Sen who says that the infant mortality rate of Gujarat is more then three times than of Kerala and the life expectancy ten years lower. I wonder why Amartya Sen picked up Kerala and did not compare these two indices with those of his own State West Bengal –or Orissa, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. One can juggle with statistics as Justice Sachar did in his famous survey.-this to suit one’s own hypothesis.

Coming to the recent scandal the author of the Economist has again played to the gallery:-regarding the accusation that Modi used intelligent officers to spy on a woman with whom ‘Modi was apparently besotted” is ample prove of the author’s prejudice and anti Modism. The article is not worth being published in the Indian Express. Finally I want to assert that there are writers who want the Congress dynasty to continue because it brings them gains. It is the vested interested of the media which assails Modi-especially the English media. The electronic media is no better. I wish and fervently hope that the media both print and electronic will play its unbiased positive role as the fourth estate and uphold itself as a pillar of true democracy and democratic values.
