deleting the post TKS ji .thanks for pointing it out. others may also do the same . It was just an expression . no offense was intended or meant . In the heat of electoral battle , decency sometimes takes a back seat . This has been a highly polarising election. Political hate speeches and hitting below the belt comments seen on TV have all left a mark on our psyche. we also join the race with off the cuff remarks which sometimes hurt the sensibilities .

In Punjab, Narendra Modi bats for an Asian century

Snippets from modi's speech in amritsar:

1. "5T formula (not the chai wala tea, he joked), but Trade-Tradition-Talent-Technology-Tourism
2. Yatri train, that could set off from Patna Sahib to Amritsar Sahib. Praying that the Durbar Sahib would hear his plan, the BJP leader said that this dedicated train could be decorated as per Guru parampara, with shabad kirtan and langar and facilities for bathing for the pilgrims and once the tradition took off, add Nanded Sahib and create a religious circuit. It is easy to do and the whole world will like to undertake this journey, he predicted. This concept could be extended to the Jyotirlingas for Shiv-bhaktas, to Dwarka-Mathura-Vrindavan for Krishna-bhaktas, and so on.
3. redress both issues by the time of Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary, he said the twin issues of urban cleanliness and sanitation would attract tourists like a magnet.
4. He would, he said, fast track the development of 500 tirthas in the country by undertaking solid waste management and waste water treatment, which would change the face of the destinations, and the nation. Development, he insisted, is the remedy for all ills.

kotobollywood supports modi

Raveena tandon, glamour heroine of the hindi film world tweeted - where was the senior film fraternity when hundreds of thousands kashmiri pundits were murdered and thrown out of kashmir? why were they silent? She got thousands of likes and retweets for this; now all major filmland personalities have spoken out in support of modi.

Rajanikanth, vijay, amitabh, lata mangeshkar, pandit shivkumar sharma, anupam kher, salim khan, salman khan, nagarjuna, vivek oberoi, ajay devgan, sunil shetty, juhi chawla, pawan kalyan - the list can fill pages.

Till now only psecs and communists shouted down other sane and sensible voices. Now the dormant but moderate and pious crowd have found their voice. Bharat, the dharmakshetra will reclaim its unique position in the comity of nations.

Mumbai votes! What a farce!

BmCWWcJCAAENyYQ.jpg:large
 
It is strange many names are missing in Mumbai City Lists. Blaming the EC alone for missing names is not correct. People who are interested in voting should have checked their names in the EC websites in advance and get their names included if they are not found. The procedures are very simple.

Look up the definition of trolling in wikipedia. Posting inflammatory messages in an online forum can provoke readers into an emotional response and/or disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

A rap in the knuckles of Congress with MMS's (step) brother joining BJP yesterday! A big boost to Jaitley's campaign! A coup of sorts!

Is this the reality? or, is it to ensure that even if BJP / Modi come to power, MMS will be safe? There are many families in Kerala where close relatives are active members of the two fronts (LDF & UDF) and the secret is that such families will remain powerful irrespective of which front rules the state.

Lok Sabha elections 2014: Stakes high for AIADMK, DMK as Tamil Nadu goes to polls

CHENNAI: The single-phase polling for 39 Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu tomorrow would put to litmus test the capabilities of ruling AIADMK, sibling war driven DMK trying to revive its electoral fortunes ahead of 2016 Assembly elections, and BJP's hopes of riding the 'Modi wave' to make a mark after drawing a blank in two previous polls.
