Interesting.......
Gujarat Bypolls on 6 seats - 2 LS & 4 VS (all belonging to Congress) has been won by BJP.
The people who were arguing that the Modi Magic has died in the Gujarat Assembly elections since he couldn't touch the 117 figure mark as last time must be hiding somewhere now --------> He has 119 after this bypolls.
BJP victorious in all 6 seats (2LS+4assembly) in Gujarat bypoll ....
This is classic. A fitting reply to all those who offer their unsolicited advise to people of Gujarat & show their concern in Modi's rule!
"BJP's own internal survey gives it 8 seats. So, does forthcoming Delhi assembly elections boil down to a st fight betn AAP and Congress?" - Tweet By Arvind Kejriwal.

200 million Indians have no faith in Narendra Modi: Union minister K Rahman Khan - The Times of India
NEW DELHI: Minority affairs minister K Rahman Khan said "200 million Indians" lack confidence in Narendra Modi, indicating that the Gujarat CM's projection as PM could lend a strong "communal vs. secular" tone to the 2014 campaign.
Khan, alluding to skepticism among Muslims and minorities for Modi, said, "To be PM, you need the confidence of all. But here, 200 million people have no faith in you (Modi). You are not willing to accept that Gujarat riots were bad."
Khan said leading a country requires accepting mistakes that Modi is averse to. "There were 1984 riots. Congress leadership apologized for it many times," he told TOI in an interview.
The criticism seeking to question Modi's post-Godhra development pitch signals the Hindutva hardliner's ascendancy may not restrain Congress in the polls. A section of the ruling camp feels BJP's gains from Modi's polarizing image would be outweighed by its alliance troubles and Muslim counter mobilization to stall the saffron march.
Khan denied the Gujarat leader would pose a threat to Congress that has the "confidence of all groups". He said, "Modi won't be the PM. The fact is Indians don't like extremism, they don't want any divide on religious and caste lines."
As the suspense over Modi's leadership unfolds in Goa, there are signs of Congress's bid to undercut his positioning as "development man". Finance minister P Chidambaram's challenge at the meeting on internal security on Wednesday that Modi spell out if he wants to bring back POTA-TADA appeared aimed at minorities.
Latching on to BJP veteran L K Advani's recent statement, Khan said Gujarat was always a developed state and Congress governments of the past deserved credit for it. "His development claim is superficial," he claimed.
E Ahamed, Union minister and Muslim League chief, said Modi would not succeed in his objective of wooing Hindus. "Secularism is a contribution of the majority community to India. They want India to be secular in the modern world that is worthy of emulation by other countries. Modi has shown he is against this noble principle that Indians are proud of," he told TOI.
The comments from UPA's Muslim mascots, while betraying a willingness in the ruling camp to risk "secularism vs. communalism" clash, aims to put pressure on saffron ally with "secular" claims like JD(U) to come good on its threat to pullout of NDA while keeping Trinamool and BJD away from it.
Congress strategists believe that Modi's pronounced leadership would polarize Muslims in favour of the party better placed to stop the NDA. In such a scenario, Congress's position would be strengthened in states like Uttar Pradesh where it is vying with "secular" forces like the Samajwadi Party for minority votes.
