BJP projected to get 12% vote share in TN by CSDS-IBN survey!!!

That still won't guarantee them any seats in TN. Amma holds all the cards there this time.

Karnataka is the only S.Indian State where they can realistically hope for a good tally.

But still, the shocker is that it is getting more vote share than Congress (10%) !!

Not to mention that they are in talks with PMK & DMDK for alliance, i think NDA can beg there around 5 seats which isn't bad.

You meant bag, didn't you?:lol:

It's been nearly 40 years since a National Party did well in TN. I still think NDA should have tried their level best for an alliance with Amma instead of DMK. But the shrewd Lady that she is, she knows it's much better to bargain with a lot of seats under her belt.
 
BJP to confirm tie-up with Vijayakanth’s DMDK in Tamil Nadu.

The BJP has been working overtime to cobble together alliances in the run up to the Lok Sabha elections, leaving no stone unturned to ensure a return to power after a gap of ten years. And in what will be a huge morale booster to the party, Sanjay Singh reports that the BJP is expected to announce a tie-up with Vijayakanth’s DMDK in Tamil Nadu, after the Election Commission announces its poll schedule later today. It has already come to an understanding with the MDMK and PMK in the state.

"An alliance with the DMDK, which will come only days after BJP formally stitched an alliance with Ramvilas Paswan has sent out a message that Narendra Modi has succeeded in generating a 'wave', at least in terms of the BJP looking for allies, from South to Eastern India", the report added.

This comes in the wake of a report in the Indian Express, which said, "While PMK leader and former Union minister Anbumany Ramadoss met Rajnath a while back on the issue of a pre-poll alliance, party sources said the BJP chief recently spoke to a point person of DMDK leader Vijaykanth over phone." If the tie up is indeed confirmed, it will come as a huge boost to the BJP in the state, especially in the wake of the latest findings by the Lokniti-IBN tracker.

With the numbers showing that the national party is currently holding onto a projected 12 percent of the voteshare, it could well turn out to be the kingmaker in the state. The DMDK currently holds 4 percent. Given that Chief Minister Jayalalithaa is only projected to win 30 percent of the vote in the state, what these numbers and this alliance will mean, is that the BJP will have Jayalalithaa exactly where it wants her. Because if the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister wants to make any impact on the national stage, she is going to have to ditch the third front in favour of her 'dear friend' Narendra Modi.

The latest tie up comes even as the party stitched up an alliance with Ram Vilas Paswan's LJP in Bihar at the expense of Congress. And in Maharashtra, even as the Shiv Sena cried foul over Nitin Gadkari’s highly publicised meet with MNS chief Raj Thackeray, senior BJP leaders were optimistic that a deal between the two estranged brothers, Raj and Uddhav Thackery could still be brokered. Gadkari had asked Raj not to field any candidate in the Lok Sabha elections, so as to consolidate all the anti-Congress-NCP votes in Maharashtra.

Sources said Raj had promised Gadkari that he would give serious thought to his proposal, but now a rather bitter reaction from Sena has temporarily halted building up of a grand alliance.

Thats why it will announce an alliance with DMDK and PMK shortly :cheers:

Jaya is a power hungry politician. She wants power by hook or crook, just like chandrababu. may be all politicians are like them. But they need to remember that they've got to work their way thru PMs post unlike MMS, which was a curse to us.

BJP has a lot of scope to grow in TN and KL. However time and now their party presidents in these states were being murdered time and now by local scum parties.


Utter nonsense. These AAPcongress maggots just want publicity, and if these anarchists take on Modi they'd get one for free.

Why US fears Modi?

Sanjeev Gupta writes about the spat and patch up between US and Modi. Before going into the subject, one must understand why the US doesnt want Modi to be India's Prime Minister? One must understand that the US doesnt want another China in the making. The US has no controll over China, but has full control over a India led by the Indian National Congress. However Modi is not a Sonia or a Rahul. he would never bow down before US for gains. US fears that Modi will try and develop India as an Independent global power, instead of a regional power, as per the wishes of US. Modi is a man who means business, be it politics or development.

The US supports India's rise as an increasingly capable actor in Asia, but not as an independent power, it wants New Delhi to be under its control and not as Bejing. Modi is one man standing between US and its ambition of making India its ally and work under its control.

In additon, the U.S. may have some fence-mending to do with India’s tough-talking, most visible political figure and would-be economic reformer. That would be Narendra Modi, the chief minister of the country’s prospering Gujarat State, an oasis of economic success on the west coast midway between the capital of Delhi and the financial center of Mumbai. Modi, whom the conservative, Hindu-centric Bharatiya Janata Party has chosen as its candidate for prime minister, is running hard on promises of sweeping economic reforms and a stronger military establishment, while urging Pakistan to give up “the culture of guns, pistols and conception of terror.”

More than any other major political figure on the Indian scene, Modi has fervent admirers and diehard detractors. Some say he’s what the country needs in order to get on with badly needed economic reforms. Among those who have not forgotten, or forgiven, apparently is the U.S. government, which has balked at issuing Modi a visa since the riots in which Modi’s people were implicated even though a special investigation cleared him of complicity last year. A young woman from the State Department, talking in Washington, was all over the Indian networks last weekend saying, primly and properly, that he was free to apply for a visa at any time, the application would be decided on its merits and she could not comment on the outcome.

The U.S. may have to decide in a hurry, however, if Modi’s BJP does well enough to upset the long-ruling but divided Congress Party and others in elections this year's Lok Sabha, the lower house of the parliament, which elects the prime minister.

For the U.S., what to do about Modi, who promises to be a serious headache at a time when U.S.-Indian relations have been on a prolonged upswing, since the days when India was “tilting” toward the old Soviet Union. US fears may well become true and India could well be a China like power in near future.

In 2006 elections DMDK got a vote share of nearly 12-14 pc, the best by a party on debut, until recently AAP beat that record in a small state in Delhi. But still it managed to send only one MLA to assembly. The vote shares are split, and not present in a single constituency.

FYI. 2009 Chiranjeevi's debutant PRP got 19% voteshare in AP. Got 18MLAs.

Delhi is hardly a state. Its a CITY state. We must not take that into consideration.

Only this much? Not more Modi puran? Iti Lekhanseema?
