Why the election-swinging middle class will vote for Modi!
The election-swinging middle-class is clearly showing an NDA bias. The BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi has cleverly surfed the wave of large-scale disillusionment over corruption, unemployment, rising prices and national security and tom-tommed his Gujarat model to emerge as the candidate of middle class choice.

Armed with knowledge and information, the middle-class has evolved in the last 10 years and has shifted its focus to the BJP.

Recent nationwide surveys indicate anger against the UPA. And nowhere is this more evident than on the faces of the middle-class people who expect the leadership vacuum to be filled by Modi.

The coming Lok Sabha polls will be different for many reasons, but the middle-class phenomenon will rule the biggest political battle. There are 200 seats with a sizeable middle class vote share. All these seats are now up for grabs.

The results of the recent Assembly polls have established that AAP is a middle-class phenomenon. And yes, the middle-class is no longer only an urban phenomenon. Though it is true that a large part of the middle-class population lives in urban areas, a huge chunk also belongs to sub-urban and rural areas.

The middle-class - comprising lower social groups, including Dalits, and the upwardly mobile income groups - played a massive role in the Delhi Assembly elections. The result shattered many myths as AAP got a resounding thumbs-up, winning both the segments.

​

Remarkably, the surveys have revealed that the BJP's middle-class support is evolving, with votes largely coming from the suburban and rural areas. If AAP polls 5 per cent of the votes nationally, they will damage BJP on 50 odd seats. If they get 10 per cent of the national vote, then they will damage BJP on 100 seats.

And these seats will be a toss-up between the Congress and the BJP. But if AAP crosses 15 per cent of the vote share, the party will become a serious contender to grab a lot of these seats, repeating the Delhi feat.

The middle-class has two sides: one that boasts of cosmopolitan middle-class values and the other, traditional middle-class values.

The former live in urban areas and have their own identity and thought process. They are more exposed to information and news, and that is why they are more likely to think beyond religious and caste lines. They are very well aware of who is to be blamed for issues. Armed with knowledge and information, they are more concerned about issues like corruption and inflation, which played a crucial role in the recently concluded Assembly polls.

These issues are sure to play an important role in the parliamentary elections as well. If we see the voting patterns of the last 50 years, we find the anti-incumbency factor at play. But, this time it has not worked everywhere. It is only because of the larger participation of people from the the middle class, who earn Rs 35,000 per month for a family of four and are concerned about these issues.

Though the anti-incumbency factor went against Sheila Dikshit (Delhi) and Ashok Gehlot (Rajasthan), it did not go against Raman Singh (Chhattisgarh) and Shivraj Singh Chouhan (Madhya Pradesh) because the issues of corruption and inflation dominated the scene.

What's that??





This means you don't know any facts.

1.) Where was MOdi and its police at the time of Godhara riot??

2.) Why didn't Modi saved Hindus?? why didn't police fired on the rioters??

3.) Suppose someone dies in your family the hospital will handover the dead body to you or the relatives.

4.) But in the case of Godhara Hindus's their dead bodies were handed over to the VHP and RSS leaders.

5.) The RSS, VHP and BJP leaders have taken that dead bodies and taken yatra all over Gujarat saying look what Muslims have done now its time to revenge.

6.) Modi didn't stop it and as it was his plans to use dead bodies to spark a riot and get people polarized.

7.) If Gujarat riots were natural Hindu- Muslim riots why no riots have happened anywhere else??
8.) Hindu-Muslims are living all over India why hindus have not killed any muslim at any other part of India other then Gujarat??

9.) Its because it was only Gujarat where the chief minister have given free hand for riots and he have also instructed the party people to provoke people for riots.

10.) That why Gujarat riots were BJP/RSS/VHP riots/attack against innocent Hindu-Muslims.




The money Modi is using is all black money looted from the general public of Gujarat.
(Its not BJP;s money u have to remember, bjp campaign have not even started soon u will see BJP's 1000 crore election campaign from party fund)

The rahul's campaign money is coming from the party fund as its party's campaign

(the money donated by people as its a oldest party and ruling party it gets the largest fund. When bjp was in power it also gets more funds then coongress.)

is it true that rahul hired a foreign company for 600 crores for building his image???

why he didnt he gave that money to social welfare or for rehablitation of riots victim???

and plz be specific ...........from where bjp money came in answer???

next u will include women empowerment rti youth etc etc>>>>>>> #rahulvsarnab

NDA around 227

I think modi is coming

Shiv Sena Hoodlums at work. Threatening couples, making them do sit ups. BJP, of course, is a proud ally.

केन्द्र के UPA सरकार ने पेश किये रेलवे बजेट से भाजपा के नेता के गुजरात के साथ अन्याय होने का आरोप लगाया है। पर NDA के शासन में गुजरात को सिर्फ 24 रेल ही मिली थी और UPA के दो साल के शासन में गुजरात को 34 रेल मिलकर कुल 67 रेल मिली है। जो भाजपा सरकार अपने ही राज्यों के साथ अन्याय करती है तो पुरे देश का क्या करेंगे ?

मोदी जैसा नेता हज़ारों बरसों बाद जानम लेता है.....! Faceplam

Bullshit! This message is going around from last 2 years. Dumb followers forwarding such shitty stuff without verifying. This strategy has been used by Bhakts and BJP IT teams to create a fake aura around Narendra Modi that he can't do any wrong!!!

Tomorrow if in reality any such CD appears(related with Saheb's stalking episode) then these Bhakts with come up with same arguements ""देखा हम ने कहा था ना, यह हमारे भगवान को बदनाम करने के साजिश है""

Many tea-stalls were forcefully closed at the SG Highway in Ahmedabad when the Chai Pe Charcha program of BJP's PM candidate was to start on 12 February. अहमदाबाद समेत पूरा गुजरात ऐसी तानाशाही 12-13 साल से सहन करता आया है। भाजपा के पीएम उम्मीदवार जब चाय पे चर्चा करे तब किसी को अपना धंधा-रोजगार चलाने कि इजाजत नहीं है गुजरात में ! जब वे रास्ते से गुजरे तो पूरे गुजरात को रुक जाना है, जब वे सार्वजनिक सभा करे तो पूरे राज्य कीं बसों को उनके सभा-स्थल पे भेज देना है ! क्या ऐसी नाइंसाफी करने वाली ही सरकार पुरे देश में चाहिए?

Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi met over 800 ex-servicemen in New Delhi today. The former military personnel raised the demand of 'One Rank, One Pension' to which the Congress Vice-President said "I am on your side".

भारत की शान है भारतीय सेना। देश के जांबाज़ पूर्व सैनिकों को भारत के युवा जोश राहुल गांधी का सलाम, राहुल गांधी के प्रयासों से अब लगभग 30 लाख पूर्व सैनिकों को एक रैंक,एक पेंशन स्कीम का लाभ मिलेगा।

Army men serve the country selflessly while we sleep soundly at night. Therefore to recognize their efforts Shri Rahul Gandhi will support the ‘One rank, One pension’ proposal which will ensure that retired soldiers of the same rank and the same length of service receive the same pension, irrespective of their date of retirement. Approximately 3 million defense pensioners will benefit from this initiative.

The Surat and Tapi Collectorate machinery has cancelled some one thousand ST Bus Trips for respective districts areas to meet the 'gathering target' of the BJP PM-candidate in Vyara on 14th February. भाजपा के प्रधानमन्त्रीपद के उम्मीदवार की सभाओं के लिए भीड़ इकट्ठा करने का ठेका जैसे जिला-समाहर्ताओं को ही दे दिया गया है! सुरत और तापी के कई रूट बंद कर के पूरे गुजरात से कुल मिलाकर 1200 ST बसों को दक्षिण गुजरात की ओर मोड़ दिया जाएगा। ना सिर्फ दक्षिण गुजरात बल्कि पूरे गुजरात के 'कॉमन मैन' को भारी कठिनाइयों का सामना करना पड़ेगा।

Why should it be Hindi? why not English? Take out Hindi from all national usages like in Supreme court, parliament etc., and make it English. Will ya agree?

Indians accepted and celebrating Cricket so won't be any problem in making English lingua franca ?

I didn't THINK and I'M NOT TALKING FOR MYSELF HERE. I have seen common people struggling due to this in most cases.

Read my previous comments, I'm not against learning Hindi but must be cautious that one doesn't learn it forcefully.

So you'd rather have Non-Indian language (Still an Indo-European language) as Lingua franca but not an Indian language?

Yes I agree that common Tamil person struggles to learn Hindi but he'd struggle to learn English as well? Plus if English was the lingua franca then 100% of Indians will struggle, right now 15-20% are struggling?

Clearly one can not be forced to learn anything. Hindi isn't even my native language but I was still taught it. My parents didn't see it as Hindi being imposed on us or attack on our identity. Heck, before coming to this forum I genuinely thought Hindi was our national language and I'm sure 99% of North Indians still think it is.

You mentioned three languages. I was brought up learning 3 languages (Gujarati, Hindi and English). My parents didn't see a problem with it? It's not like the local language was subjugated to make way for Hindi? If that was the case then yeah maybe.

If I'm not mistaken he said 'War Museums!'

साठ साल से कांग्रेस के नेताओं के भाषण एक जैसे ही हैं।" तो, आप क्या कर रहे हैं ?

While BJP is defaming the central government on the name of backward classes' welfare, but the truth is that BJP government in Gujarat has not provided any infrastructural or fundamental facilities to the National Scheduled Caste Commission's office in Ahmedabad ! राष्ट्रिय अनुसूचित जाति आयोग के अहमदाबाद दफतर को कई कठिनाइयों का सामना करना पद रहा है। पिछले 13 साल से लाल दरवाजा के पास किराए के एक मकान में आयोग बैठता है, जिसका एक साल का किराया डेढ़ लाख होता है। इस आयोग को ड्राईवर दिया गया है, गाडी नहीं ! अपने आप को पिछड़ी जाति का या दलित बतानेवाले भाजपा के पी एम पद के उम्मीदवार के राज्य में दलितों पे अत्याचार हों तो यह आयोग उसकी तह तक कैसे जा पायेगा, जब उसके पास कोई सुविधा नहीं !
इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं की जिसके पीछे RSS, VHP और Bajrang Dal जैसीं दलित-विरोधी
ताकतें रहीं हों वह भाजपा के दिल में कभी पिछड़ी जातियों के हित कि बात न बसेगी।

I request you to read my earlier posts. I never spoke against learning Hindi or any language. I'm asking for equal rights and since due to Hindi majority its almost gets imposed indirectly/directly.
We accepted Cricket, Electricty, Engines everything given by a English men so why not English?

I arguing just for the sake of equal rights...Myself can speaker read and talk fluently in Hindi.
