IIT-Delhi Narendra Modi fans launch unofficial campaign. 

Heena Kausar | Mail Today | New Delhi, February 27, 2014::  BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi has found an ardent support-base in the corridors of the hub of India's techie geniuses, IIT Delhi.

A group of around 200 students of the premier institute have come together to campaign for the Gujarat Chief Minister as the general elections draw near.

"It was around six months ago that five fellow students and I discussed channelling the strong support wave for Modi prevalent in the institute.

That's when the idea to form a student group to campaign for Modi struck. We also formed a Facebook group for students like us," said a core group member requesting anonymity.

The group, which calls itself 'IITians support MODI', says while they support the man himself, it does not necessarily translate into support for his party, the BJP. The Facebook group boasts of 381 members, and includes IITians from Kharagpur as well.

Being IIT students, members feel, gives them an edge when they try to convince people to vote for Modi.

"We are independent of the BJP and have no alliance with them. We introduce ourselves as IIT students and not BJP supporters because then we will not be considered neutral," said Sahil Aggarwal, a final year Mechanical Engineering student, whose mobile ringtone is a song in Modi's praise.

The group holds weekly meetings to decide their plan of action. As of now the group is focusing on its campaign on social media, for which each member has to devote at least 3- 4 hours daily.

BJYM President Anurag Thakur said the programme is getting a good response from even those states where BJP is not strong and asserted that the party will see positive results from there as well.

2,130 such ambassadors have been chosen in Uttar Pradesh colleges, followed by 1001 in Gujarat, 976 in Haryana, 766 in Maharashtra, 234 in West Bengal and 350 in Andhra Pradesh, he said.

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.

Narendra Modi blames SP for law and order in UP

IANS | Meerut (Uttar Pradesh) | February 02, 2104::  In a scathing attack on the Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi Sunday blamed it for the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.

"Has anybody thought about the law and order situation of the state (UP)?" Modi asked at a rally here, adding that the SP should be called the "Samajvirodhi Party" instead of Samajwadi Party.

Asserting that the law and order situation in the state has deteriorated over the last decade, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate asked people whether they felt their women were safe under the current regime.

"Women are scared of venturing out of their homes..., I urge you to at least ensure the safety and security of women in the state," Modi said, addressing SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.

Challenging the SP regime on the development plank, he said: "If you want to compete with Modi, improve the law and order situation, give electricity to the villages and improve the lot of farmers, and then compete."

"Compete on the issues of development," he said, adding that the SP will not do that as they don't want to address these issues.

Modi attacks Congress over lack of war memorial. Paid tribute to 'Aye Mere Watan Ke Logon' .

Modi attended 51 anniversary of 'Aye Mere Watan Ke Logon' sung by Lata Mangeshkar.

India only nation without a war memorial, says Narendra Modi

NDTV | Mumbai | Edited by Nadim Asrar | 27 January 2014:: Narendra Modi used a moment of nostalgia to score a political point today, when he attacked the ruling Congress for failing to construct a war memorial for martyred soldiers. 

"I feel some good things have been left for me to do," the BJP's prime ministerial candidate said after observing that India was the only country without a war memorial to "honour their sacrifice." The BJP is upbeat about its prospects in the general elections due by May after several surveys have predicted a good showing by the party. 

The crowd roared slogans like, "Modi lao desh bachao (bring Modi, save the nation)."

Mr Modi was in Mumbai to felicitate legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar on the 51st anniversary of her song 'Aye Mere Watan Ke Logon' sung as a tribute to India's soldiers who died in the 1961 war with China.

Mr Modi also observed that the first time Ms Mangeshkar sang the song, composed by C Ramchandra and written by Kavi Pradeep, was on January 27, 1963, with the first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru present. "Lata didi has reconnected us to the past. We are fortunate that Nehru first heard it and now we have," Mr Modi said. (Highlights of Narendra Modi's speech)

The audience at the Mahalaxmi Race Course was predominantly made up of armed forces personnel and Mr Modi's speech was addressed to them and to the massive constituency of soldiers across the country. Apart from promising them the memorial, the BJP leader also referred to the emotive issue of the beheading of an Indian soldier by Pakistani troops last year, cyber attacks by China and the alleged lack of funding for acquisition of weaponry. 

The 63-year-old leader said India has the potential to be a military powerhouse. "If India decides, and has the right leadership and policies, within 10 years we will be in a position to export arms," Mr Modi said.

Standing beside Ms Mangeshkar, who is known for her fondness for the Gujarat Chief Minister, Mr Modi even broke into the song and sang with others present. 

In her speech, Ms Mangeshkar, denied that the event had a political colour and said, "I thank the organisers that I got an opportunity to meet Narendra bhai."

Ms Mangeshkar was also a special guest in November last year at the inauguration of a hospital in Pune in memory of the singer's father.

"Everyone in India wants to see Narendra Modi as prime minister," Ms Mangeskhar had said at the Pune event, generating a political controversy.

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

"The Congress run central government has been paralysed. They are doing only Akashwani": Narendra Modi in Ranchi Rally.

Rahul Gandhi only coming out with "akashwani" : Narendra Modi at Ranchi rally

PTI | Ranchi | Dec 29, 2013:: BJP's PM candidate Narendra Modi Sunday targeted Rahul Gandhi yet again, saying while nothing is being done to check price rise and corruption, the Congress leader has been only coming out with "akashwani" (celestial voices).

Modi's made these remarks at the rally apparently referring to Congress Vice-President's meeting with Chief Ministers of Congress-ruled states in Delhi on Friday during which he asked them to check prices and implement the Lokayukta Act on the lines of Lokpal and Lokayukta Bill.

Gandhi had disapproved of the Maharashtra government's decision to reject the Adarsh Commission's report on the society building scam.

"In ancient times, people heard akashwani (celestial voices) that came as if they (voices) were not concerned about the happenings around....Today, there is akashwani that CMs will do this, CMs will do that. People who are involved in corruption....if there is honesty in the words of people who do akashwani, then they should respond as to how corruption developed under Congress in Jharkhand," Modi said without naming Gandhi.

He said Congress leaders were doing the same today.

Attacking Congress, Modi said the ruling party at the Centre has become a "liability" and a "crisis" for the country as it has lost connection with the masses.

"Congress party, its governments and its leaders cannot listen to the voices of the people....People today want development, not division, they want opportunity, not political opportunism, they want security, not poison of communalism," he said.

Attacking Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the issue of inflation, the Gujarat Chief Minister said despite holding a meeting of Chief Ministers on price rise three years ago, the government has so far failed to take any steps in that regard.

He claimed that he was made a head of a committee to recommend steps to curb price rise.

"There were two other CMs from UPA and Congress-ruled states. We gave 62 actionable points and recommended 20 initiatives. The PM said we did a good job. But two-and-a-half years have lapsed and no action has been taken. The central government has been paralysed," Modi said.

Mumbaikars ranted the air with Maha Garjana in support of Narendra Modi.

Mumbai rally: Divide and rule policy specialty of Congress, says Modi

Express News Service | New Delhi | Dec 22, 2013:: BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi today launched a scathing attack on Congress, saying those immersed in corruption are now giving "sermons" against it.

"I heard the speech of a big Congress leader yesterday. He was speaking against corruption. See their daring. No one else can dare do this. These people are so immersed in corruption. Despite this, they make innocent face and speak against corruption," Modi said at a huge public rally here.

"The Adarsh commission report has indicted ministers. On one hand, Maharashtra government decides to save the corrupt and on the other, a Congress leader is giving sermons in Delhi," he said in an apparent reference to Rahul Gandhi.

"Congress speaks one thing and does another," he said.

"Whether Congress leaders are in government or not, all things are done as per their directives. But the same people, when they make a speech, one feels as if they are speaking on behalf of some other government, for some other country," he said.

"Congress is involved in divide and rule for vote bank politics. This has been their speciality. They learnt this from British," Modi said.

"While Sardar Patel united India, Congress pitted brother against brother and created states on linguistic basis," he said.

"The problems we face won't be solved till we free India from vote bank politics and get it on path of development politics," he stressed.

The reason for the problems the country faces is not our history or geography but Congress-ruled governments, he said.

"The voice of 'Congress-free India' should go out from Mumbai, which first gave the call of 'Quit India' against British rule," the Gujarat Chief Minister said.

"I wish that in 2014 elections, votes should be sought for the country and not in the name of party. We want to say, "Vote for India", to free the country of dynastic rule, corruption, inflation, bad governance and to maintain unity of the country," he said.
