Arvind Kejriwal to challenge Narendra Modi on his home turf in 2014 Lok Sabha polls

New Delhi: Encouraged with its spectacular performance in Delhi elections, Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) wants to contest all the Lok Sabha seats from Gujarat to forge a challenge to BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in his home state.

According to sources, the strategy is to confine Modi to Gujarat so that his visits to other states are severely curtailed.

AAP has already set up committees in 309 districts of the country with an aim to contest 2014 Lok Sabha elections. AAP leaders are going to meet soon to chalk out a strategy for upcoming general elections, said the sources.

Although it is still not clear how many seats AAP will its candidates in upcoming parliamentary elections, but the party's Karnataka unit has already announced that it will field candidates for all 28 Lok Sabha seats in the state.

The main challenge before Kejriwal is that he does not have a nationwide network. While AAP reaped the harvest of people's anger against Congress in Delhi, it will have to face a tried and tested leader like Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha polls.

Modi's popularity ratings are no doubt on the upswing and Kejriwal is yet to find his bearings in the national popularity ratings.

AAP may impress people in Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, but to meet the phalanx of BJP supporters in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat seems to be a tough challenge for the one-year-old party.

By defeating three-time Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit by a huge margin of 22,000 votes, Kejriwal has now realised the strength of "people's power".

The activist-turned politician has got indirect support from Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who had tweeted on Sunday that "newcomers" in politics "should not be taken lightly".

Kejriwal feels that the common man does not have a clear acceptable alternative at present and therefore, voters are caught between the Congress and the BJP. People are frustrated after several leaders from both these national parties were found involved in wrongdoings, he says.

I can also give you eg of things which are impposible in his Delhi manifesto

Well,Narendra Modi, CHai wala did not have an experience. He got the chance and he is working now. You know how poor he is in History. Still he got the chance to rule. In the same way Keriwal also should get. It doesnt matter even if they cant implement their manifesto fully...It is impossible that they stop corruption. But still they are honest now. Thats why they should be given a chance.

By the way, I preffer Rahul for Modi. Modi abused his power like no one else.

No offence bro, but there is nothing wrong with this. There are special trains run for Hindu festivals and rallies too. Nothing wrong in running special trains for Muslim festivals and rallies, as long as they are footing the bill. Which they are in this case, "Is safar ke liye ticket khareedna zaroori hai", which translates to, "Its necessary to buy a ticket for this journey".

Rush in Congress to target Manmohan and defend Rahul for poll debacle

Amid growing discontent within the Congress over party’s recent poll debacle in four States, the party spokespersons have reportedly been asked to be restrained while speaking in media about party vice president Rahul Gandhi and his candidature from Ahethi.

With this, the party leaders are seen rushing to hold the Prime Minister responsible for the defeats while defending Rahul Gandhi over the issue.

As a part of the ongoing spree to defend Rahul Gandhi and party president Sonia Gandhi, Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid on Wednesday said, “The decisions taken by party president Rahul Gandhi are binding on all party leaders. She is our leader.”

In a haste to display his loyalty to Congress chief, Khursheed went on to call her the mother of all partymen and whole nation.

Another Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar, who had recently questioned the decision to appoint Manmohan Singh as the Prime Minister in 2009, said, “If Rahul does not become the PM candidate of the Congress, then party chief Sonia Gandhi’s name should be declared for this position.”

According to reports, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is under sever attack from within the party over party’s humiliating defeats in recent polls. After Aiyar, even outgoing Delhi Chief Ministers Shiela Dikshit and Ashok Gehlot have also criticized the Prime Minister for causing defeat of the party.

Meanwhile, trouble for the party scion Rahul Gandhi increased on Monday when AAP hinted at fielding its member Kumar Vishwas against Gandhi from Amethi in the coming Lok Sabha poll.

Ashok Gehlot blames Narendra Modi for defeat, alleges EVMs were tampered with

The BJP has been crediting all its victories in the recently-concluded Assembly elections in five states to its PM nominee Narendra Modi. Now even Congress seems to have joined the bandwagon.

In a surprising turn of events, former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has blamed Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for Congress's poll debacle in Rajasthan.

Gehlot has alleged that the EVMs used in the state polls, which were programmed in Ahmedabad, were tampered with at the behest of Modi.

In a complaint to the Election Commission, Gehlot has demanded a probe into the matter to know the truth. He alleged that EVMs were tampered in a way to ensure every fifth vote, irrespective of the button pressed, was cast in favour of the BJP.

Gehlot maintained that poll officials at the booth had given him a positive feedback about votes cast in favour of the Congress. However, the results showed an entirely different picture.

While experts have said it is possible to know the truth by randomly checking 20-25 EVMs, the BJP has said the Congress is not able to take in such a massive defeat.

Stunned in four states, Congress fears 2014

Congress leaders across India are virtually in mourning after the humiliating defeat in four states, with many admitting the rout has rattled the party ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha election
Congress leaders at various levels in state after state blamed a variety of factors for the electoral drubbing in Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.

Most state leaders who spoke to IANS said they were worried over the coming Lok Sabha battle. A few conceded that the BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi was indeed a major threat.

"You cannot deny the Modi factor," said a Congress leader in Rajasthan, where his party was crushed by the Bharatiya Janata Party. "He is a good orator. People enjoyed listening to his speeches."

Another Rajasthan leader, who did not want to be identified by name, added that he was now convinced that people were angry with the Congress in all states.

"The Congress will find it very tough to come out of this crisis by the next Lok Sabha election," he said, adding the party would win only one or two parliamentary seats in the state.

In elections held in November-December, the BJP retained Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh despite being in power for 10 years, ousted the Congress in Rajasthan and came close to victory in Delhi.

In Delhi, the one-year-old Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) created history by bagging 28 of the 70 seats in its maiden electoral battle. Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit was herself defeated by AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal.

In Punjab, a prominent Congress leader did not hide his disgust. "Mere rhetoric on non-issues will no longer work," he told IANS. "Rahul Gandhi will have to take drastic measures now."

Punjab Congress president and Gurdaspur MP Pratap Singh Bajwa said the results were "a wake up call".

Congress leaders in Haryana are worried that the AAP -- which has pockets of influence in areas bordering Delhi -- could expand its base in the state.

A senior Congress leader in Maharashtra blamed four 'M's for the debacle: "Modi, Media, Minorities and Manmohan."

He said party activists appeared disenchanted in the Congress-ruled state. Although he felt that the result would not impact on the Lok Sabha polls, he warned that the Congress "will have to work doubly hard".

In Odisha, where the Congress has been out of power since 2000, senior party leader Niranjan Patnaik warned of similar debacles elsewhere unless "mistakes" were rectified.

Another leader complained that there was no internal democracy in the country's oldest political party.

Almost all of those who spoke to IANS, however, insisted that Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son and vice president Rahul Gandhi could not be blamed for the electoral mess.

"The results are definitely a matter of grave concern," said Jammu and Kashmir minister and Congress leader Sham Lal Sharma. "But to blame the defeat on Rahul Gandhi is highly unfair."

Salman Soz, a Congress leader and son of the party's state president Saif-ud-Din, told IANS that the state results were "deeply distressing" and "we must learn some hard lessons".

On Sunday, after the Congress was soundly defeated, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi spoke on similar lines.

A Tamil Nadu Congress leader said "Modi and the media" contributed to the electoral drubbing. But he insisted there was no Modi wave.

A few felt that rising food prices and corruption -- for which the Congress-led central government was to blame -- were the reasons people had become disenchanted with the party.

"We were not expecting this kind of defeat in the four states," rued a Goa Congress leader. But he told IANS: "But people are mature. They vote for one party at local level and another at the national level."

"Disconnect with people appears to be a major reason for the defeat," Jharkhand Congress spokesman Shailesh Sinha told IANS. "Leaders seem to be depending on the party's name and leader to garner votes."

In Andhra Pradesh, whose division has also split the Congress, those from outside the Telangana region openly spoke out against their own national leaders.

"The results are a reflection on the UPA government," said L. Rajagopal, MP from Vijayawada. Warned former minister J.C. Diwakar Reddy: "The party has already died in the state. It cannot be revived."

Some Congress leaders expressed the hope that the party will overcome -- and not allow Sunday's verdict to cast a shadow on the Lok Sabha polls.

Said West Bengal Congress general secretary Om Prakash Mishra: "The Congress showing is disastrous but it won't have any significant bearing on the Lok Sabha polls. There is no reason for despondency."

Former Union home secretary RK Singh to join BJP

NEW DELHI: Former Union home secretary RK Singh is set to join the BJP on Friday.

Singh, a retired IAS officer (1975 batch) from the Bihar cadre, was earlier tipped to be adviser to the Bihar government. However, he did not accept the assignment.

"He will formally join the BJP on Friday," said a sources close to Singh. He is hoping to fight the Lok Sabha poll next year from a constituency in Bihar.

Incidentally, Singh was the district magistrate of Samastipur when senior BJP leader L K Advani was arrested on October 23, 1990, while his rath yatra was en route to Ayodhya in UP from Somnath in Gujarat.

Singh was home secretary from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012.

This is a huge catch for BJP.. Congress is not going to be too comfortable with this. R K Singh is privy to lot of sensitive information while he was the Home Sec. This guy knows how NIA / CBI is being used to target political opponents & manipulate the facts. Going to be very interesting indeed...
