"It's BJP tradition to announce its PM candidate before Lok Sabha elections. So today our parliamentary board decided that Sri Nadrendra Modiji will be our PM candidate," Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh said at a press conference.
The country is due to go to the polls by May 2014.
In June, Modi, popularly known as "NaMo", was selected to head the BJP's campaign in the 2014 elections, a move that saw senior leader LK Advani resign from top party posts in protest.
The Hindu-nationalist BJP has been fractured by squabbling among its leaders, with several fearing Modi being too divisive a figure who could deter voters from minority religions, particularly Muslims.
Modi, 62, has sought to paint himself as a pro-business reformist who could revive Asia's third-largest economy, which is growing at its slowest rate in a decade and is struggling with a currency at near record lows.
Though the market-friendly leader has been popular with the corporate world, he remains tarred by the Gujarat riots in 2002, in which as many as 2,000 people were killed, mainly Muslims, according to rights groups.
Modi denied any wrongdoing, but one of his former ministers was jailed last year for orchestrating some of the violence and the Supreme Court once likened him to Nero, the emperor who fiddled while Rome burned.
Rahul Gandhi, 43, who is some two decades younger than Modi and heir to India's most powerful political dynasty, has been groomed by the Congress party to take over the reins from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
But he remains reluctant to be pushed to the fore and doubts remain about his ability and hunger for the job.
The Congress-led government is lagging badly in the polls, its popularity sapped by the economic downturn and a slew of corruption scandals.

@Anand: Calm down bjp has no chance to come back to power. Up Indian muslims will not vote for them. South india and eastern india will vote for the secular parties....nitish Kumar has pulled out. Orrisa no chance, Malta bannerjee will not act against minorities. The modi tsunami is restricted to north and western india. Chillax, congress will come back but with lesser numbers. Jaitley was a good choice, shushma but now we are going to vote for congress. Rab rakha
ET, have I reached my limit of responses? Why are my comments being blocked?
@csmann: Please try to stay on topic. This isn't about Pakistan.
@Bakhtiyar Ghazi Khan: Modi is a bigot ,and can't deny his role in the Gujart Massacres. But Indian Muslims are much more secure than Pakistanis in their own country. "" complete betrayal by India of its Muslim population’s rights and security'' India does not have a law enshrined in its constitution to legally persecute its own people. Mullahs and other religious zealots can boycott Ahmadis, destroy their property,have them jailed and openly advocate hounding and killing them,with nobody in Government as much taking a notice of it.And the society is condoning it .
India's Muslims are already up in arms over the audacity of the opposition to select Modi, a known killer and hater of Muslims, as this is a complete betrayal by India of its Muslim population's rights and security. Its sad to see the Hindus commenting here blame the Gujarat incident solely on India's Muslims, keeping in mind that they were the victims and now apparently the cause as well. In today's India, Hindus are always right and Muslims are always wrong, despite whatever the ground realities may be.
It may be time for India's Muslims to seek International mediation (UN, OIC, Pakistan) for their political, economic, religious, and basic human rights.
my comment are moderated for no reason what so ever 3 of my comments are moderated which were replies to previous replies on my post common that's not fair
@Maula Jatt: “If Modi becomes PM, India will experience another Partition between Muslims and Hindus.” – Jaswant Singh
That is not likely to happen; in spite of who becomes PM. Many had underestimated Modi back then, many are overestimating him now. Mostly the Job is bigger than the Man & it may yet bring out what little good is in the evil if he does win. Besides,you may want to authenticate that quote with link to a credible source anyway. As election approaches there will be quite a strain on Hindu-Muslim relationship especially if Modi does not do well. However, post'47 Hindus & Muslims of India were never so close that they could not put distance between each other. But they were never so distant that they couldn't reach out to each other. The ebbs & tides in their relationship can be exploited by a politician for a while but that phenomenon can neither be accelerated at will nor eliminated at whim.
@Lala Gee That doesnt make difference, as I already said that there was riot, There were many hindu and muslim involved. Inhone retaliate kia, jail hui. Who is denying that Gujrat riots nahi hue ? nobody denying that Hinduon ne Muslims ko mara (approx 790) and Muslims ne hinduon ko (approx 254+58) All these were due to Godhra brutal train burning. Those videos doesnt reveal and secret. But those are not videos which @Faisal had seen (pata nahi kahan dekha !) Our stand is same. Dont cry like kids on retaliation. Actions are the main and only cause of reactions If there is talk about Post Godhra riots, starting point should be 27feb 2002 8.50 AM Godhra train burning. If there is Talk about Babri structure demolition, starting point should be temple destruction.
@Lala Gee What are you trying to prove any way? All of the culprits whether Hindu or Muslim, they all are in jail right now. Besides, your copy/pasted Wikipedia link does not talk about Modi in any way. Modi's only fault was that he was the CM of Gujarat when the riots took place. Modi does takes a pro-Hindu stance at times but being a "pro-Hindu" does not automatically make him an anti-Muslim. Politics in India is completely different compared to what happens in Pakistan. In India different parties try to appeae different segments of the society - some raise "issues" of Muslims during elections, some try to appease the Hindus, but its all for political gain. The big parties don't go publicly spreading/preaching hatred against people of certain religions, unlike what happens in Pakistan not only against the minority Hindus/Christians but also against Shias and Ahmediyas. Those who tried to spread hatred are all in jail today, may they be from Hindu extremist parties like VHP/Bajrang Dal or Muslim extremist parties like MIM/Hurriyat Conference. Before you criticise Modi based on unclear news reports of the past, it will be better if you care to check the facts. It will be even more better if you care about whats happening to the minorities (basically everyone except Sunnis) of Pakistan instead of thinking too much of Modi becoming India's PM.
"If Modi becomes PM, India will experience another Partition between Muslims and Hindus." - Jaswant Singh
Not all Indians are comfortable with Modi who has a well-known autocratic streak. Neither are all Indians comfortable with the BJP which is a front organisation for the fascist RSS. But this is a democratic country and diverse views are protected by Constitutional provisions. Secondly, this is not a presidential style contest. The BJP has to actually be in a position to command the confidence of the majority in the Lok Sabha. It's a far cry. Rhetoric, innuendo, lies, half-truths, character assassination and misrepresentation do not win elections. The people's vote does and the people of India are politically mature. In fact for the BJP the next elections are a battle for survival.
@Raja You're telling a pakistani, on a pakistani website, to go mind her own business? How about you mind your own business and stop poking your business in our matters?
@Ali: Even a PM would not have the kind of immunity that Mr. Hafiz Saeed enjoys.
ETBLOGS1987
@Pakistani: His visa was denied due to Indian Congress supporters spreading lies. This happened in 2005. As he has been acquitted by courts even and also as people see hos hoverning record that there have been no riots inthe past 11 years under Modi other countries are reviewing and/or reversing their stance. UK and EU have already reversed their stance and by the fact that the US ambassador went to meet him, it is clear they are reviewing their Stan e. Modi has said that he will not apply for a visa to any of these countries and go only if he receives a formal invitation from the country.
@Ali: Did Modi send 10 people on a boat to Pakistan to create murder and mayhem? Can you give a single example of Modi giving speeches where he asks people to attack non-Hindus? YouTube is full of videos where Hafeez Saeed is doing just that.
In any case Pakistanis can elect whom they want and India will elect whom it wants. If Pakistan elects someone hostile to India, India will just have to take appropriate measures o secure its people and it's land.
@Ali: " ... I wonder if Hafiz Saeed is nominated as PM candidate what would be the reaction of Indians? ... "
Actually, nothing would make us happier.
@Lala Gee Thanks for posting non lipsyncing and edited videos. But still We or courts dont deny that this happened. Babu Bajrangi , maya kodanani and hundreds others (from both side) etc were involved in Riots. There is absolutely no deny that Hindus were involved in Riots ! nobody denied ever. Those people like babu bajrangi were jailed and sentenced too. You should know that It was retaliation, it was reaction in response to Brutal barbarian burning of woman and kids at Godhra Station, which was proven pre planned action. Why you cry if other side replies ? There are many story that in reply cruelty was done, hey this thing is called riot, that is bad, but had happened. Who is denying !
Also these videos are not what @Faisal said !
Even if Babu Bajrangi, Maya kodnani (displaced Sindhi, had to run away from Pakistan), reacted in reaction, still people didnt support them after court judgement came.
please dont twist facts. Dont be one sided. Main and only cause of Gujrat riots was Godhra barbarian Train burning. Starting point should be Godhra, in any unbiased discussion or article.
Dear Editor please dont censor my comments, I am putting facts, not using abusing language.
@manish rohera: Can't access bjp.org from here. We are banned to access. So I think demonizing is kinda kosher here.
This man Modi is an obnoxious character. It's bad omen for India for more than one reason. But I don't find one reason for Pakistanis to criticise him, or his party BJP for choosing him as their PM candidate. He is a Hindu Jinnah in the making. .
In all fairness Modi should be grateful to a lot many people. The pseudo-secular political analysts on TV, woolly headed op-ed writers, vote-bank politicians of so-called secular parties, and a few short-sighted Muslim politicians, they all worked very hard for last 10 years to elevate where we find Modi today. On his part, he has made all these people work for him without paying them a single penny and without them ever realizing their bondage.
Good thing for the minorities though...Just like any thug, they will let the minorities live if given power.
@indian: I hope Pakistan goes for something corresponding too. Ideally JuD in a political skin. Now that would indeed make the world a better place.
I wonder if Hafiz Saeed is nominated as PM candidate what would be the reaction of Indians?
(Dear Mod: Since so many people have asked for the links, here they are. Please allow.)
@Californian Desi:
"Jut by sharing “non-working” link does not prove any damn thing. I have personally submitted many articles on wiki and I know their moderation process quite well. They do genuinely scrutinize every record for factual correctness and hence they have a popularity of being neutral except for few nations who are rightly projected in bad light. The non existance of your article is yet another proof of how “SOME” Pakistanis like you thrive on lies and fabrication."
I am not going say any thing, as the following links are more than enough for this purpose. For video links read the Tehelka's investigative report mentioned at link #2.
1- Here is the working link for Wikipedia entry "The Truth: Gujarat 2002 2- Tehelka's investigative report "GUJARAT 2002 - THE TRUTH", "video links" 3- Reddiff India Abroad story "Gujarat riots a genocide; Modi sanctioned it" 4- Reuter's news story "Hindu activists accuse Modi for Gujarat riots" 5- Indian Express "Sting traps footsoldiers of Gujarat riots boasting about killings with state support"
@Sabi
“So BJP decides to go ahead without Muslim vote bank.” That’s a perceptive observation. It speaks as much about the politics of BJP, as it does about the politics of opportunism played out by the leaders of the Muslim community, in particular the political variety.
@Blunt
@Babloo has provided a link. Watch it and then share your opinion on it with us. Please.
i'm so happy that BJP leaders has taken a right decision for their party and for India!!
@Np: Exactly again you prove my point. At no point of time did Congress rely on MMS for votes. Nor was Rahul leading the Congress in 2004 or 2009. BJP has put all the burden on Modi and is expecting him to get it all the seats. Its the ability to win seats for your party in India. Modi has yet to prove it. Jyoti Basu ruled Bengal for 24 years and yet could not get one seat outside Bengal. The last person to win a seat anywhere in India on his own effort was Indira Gandhi. Not even Rajiv or Vajpayee. If you do not have such a leader the you should have collations This is where BJP again loses due to Modi.. Also please remember that Rahul got 21 seats in UP in 2009 which is more than the 16 seats won by Modi in his own state in which he was ruling.
India lives in its villages and villages don't vote on the internet forums. Modi tsunami will end the way Taliban khans ended in pakistan. South and eastern india will never vote for him in majority. Just wait and see, jaitley or shushma would have been a better choice. Enjoy the modi tsunami people. Rab rakha
@ All Pakistanis harping on Modi's communal background, please do yourselves a favour. Please google the phrase - "Bomb blasts in mosques in Pakistan".
You will get 1,860,000 results (0.27 seconds). Many links will give you year on year statistics on death toll. This my dear friends, is in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
As the old saying goes, "People who stay in glass houses - - - - - - - "
Cheers!!!
@C. Nandkishore: He has at least governed a state. What has Rajiv done? No output as a legIslator as in no legislation has been drafted by him, nor he has cobbled together a working majority for necessary but unpopular legislation. No executive experience either as CM of a taste or federal cabinet minister. Finally he lost heavily in Bihar. After that he spent 18 months doing nothing but contesting the UP election. and Congress came in 4th.
And what about Manmohan Singh. He has never even won a Lok Sabha seat. Came to parliament through Rajya Sabha on a lie by claiming that he is a resident of Assam. If MMS can be a PM for 10 years, why would you grudge Modi that.
He is just Nationalist & Last Hope of India, He is my leader. The Development Icon
@ayesha: Minorities are safe in Pakistan ? in 1947 population of Muslims was 9-10% now it is 13-15%. Increased by a huge. in 1951 Hindu population in Pakistan and Bangladesh was 22% and now it reached to below 2%. Tell me if I am wrong. Either you people spread lie (like video of Modi to kill Muslims !!! ), or you believe in lies spreaded by others
If we are to go by the comments sections in different newspapers of the subcontinent, it appears modi has already won the elections. We all love to hate modi, but he must have done something right somewhere to be able to garner such support. Or it could just be a bubble that bursts when the real polls happen and the real results come out. Fantasy or reality, lets hold our horses and see who the worlds largest democracy really elect.
@ayesha: If minorities are safe in pakistan than why many of them who have came to india on piligrim have refused to go back to pakistan and demanded indian citizenship and Why your MQM leader is saying openly that he is ready to request india to give them citizenship and as far as riots are concerned than half knowledge is bad than no knowledge,first obtain knowledge on how this riots started and who started it.
@Faisal: Please check the link u have given it is about English articles
@Faisal: Stop being lampooned mercilessly on this post by admitting you made a mistake about the so called video. I have read all Tehelka articles in depth & there is nothing there to incriminate Modi.
Modi will be supported on good governance issues and better administration. But he will not tolerate Godhra type incidents. So violence prompted on religious grounds should subside if he becomes PM. I hope and pray he does.
@np: Thats exactly my point. He has not contested outside Gujarat, or to be more correct, not canvased outside Gujarat and shown that he can lead BJP to victory.
@Faisal: Dear Faisal, may I ask where did you find these videos? Had there been even one such video the Congress Party would be running them all over the world as paid adverts. I am not particularly interested in politics but do check out his speech on You Tube during the riots. It's unfortunate the so called "secular" parties in India choose to disseminate these false stories and their PR machinery might have reached you too. The reason why he's so popular is because he doesn't appease anyone and focuses on governance the fruits of which are enjoyed by all. This has disturbed the applecart of all the other parties who have been relying on vote-bank politics and have deliberately kept the poor poor. The smooth roads and uninterrupted power supply is for everyone...Thankfully we live in an age where everything's available online so please feel free to check out the man and what he stands for before you form your opinion.
My dear Pakistan Friends,
Please take some time out and read about Modi's life. His father used to sell tea at a railway platform and as a young boy he used to assist him. He left home at the age of 17 and went around India. To best of my knowledge, he does not own any home anywhere in India. His moth lives with his younger brother in a two bedroom apartment. He visits his mother only twice a year. Do we have any other politician like him in sub-continent?
@ET : This response is only for Faisal since he continues to mislead the discussion with false claim of videos. That is act of propaganda and I am only trying to respond him. @Faisal: Jut by sharing "non-working" link does not prove any damn thing. I have personally submitted many articles on wiki and I know their moderation process quite well. They do genuinely scrutinize every record for factual correctness and hence they have a popularity of being neutral except for few nations who are rightly projected in bad light. The non existance of your article is yet another proof of how "SOME" Pakistanis like you thrive on lies and fabrication.
@Dr. Bill: Please give this lecture to your big brother China first
@Ayesha - You are just funny, Nothing more than that....
@Ayesha Are u kidding by saying minorities are safe in Pakistan ?
@Dr. Bill: Well the it was "Bada Bhai" attitude of India that you got Pakistan. Then you lost eastern part. Now until the "chota bhai" proves it self worth, no more concessions :)
let the Indian choose what so ever they deem fit for them, its their right.
lets focus on our own issues which are bigger than worrying about our neighbours' pm candidates.
@Faisal: Why don't you share those videos for the whole world to see? Oh I know why. Those videos don't exist.
R.I.P INDIA.
If you want to see a communal video by a politician in India , watch this.

WT better get its moderation policy together. The way it is censoring comments leads me to delete it from my favorite sites. If they don't get their act together soon, I am gonna leave soon. Or better yet, I will start posting under different IPs.
@just_someone: And we are loving it!!
When Pakistan starts giving aid to India (like US is currently giving to Pakistan), they get the 'right' to talk about India's internal politics and what will happen of India's Muslims if Modi is made the PM. It is 'okay' to a certain extent to discuss the politics happening in the neighbour country, but Pakistanis shouldn't worry too much of India's internal matters and condition of India's "minorities". In every case: law & order, justice, "condition" of 'minorities', governance, employment opportunities, education, tourism, industrial development - India is way better in all aspects compared to Pakistan, as are the Indian Muslims. Getting back on topic, Modi completely changed Gujarat in last decade and now it is one of the fastest developing states in India as well as doing pretty good at acquiring majority of foreign direct investment across many sectors. I'm sure Modi becoming the PM can be the best thing to happen to India in current times.
Feels like more Indians follow this blog ......Anyway Calm down ppl ..Koi Rocket Science nai.....Simple baat hai hold a publicite in combine Kashmir according to UN resolution.State of Pakistan can satisfy it's own ppl and India can also satisfy own ppl.Once you are done with that problem India and Pakistan will be best buddies...There will be no huge military budgets ..The two nations will spend their budgets on the welfare of their ppl instead of huge war machinery which benefits no one....Without this the war will go on and never stop for generations............. I was talking to an Indian friend he refered to pakistan as Chota Bhai of India. .....as i discussed Kashmir with him he agreed that Indian and Pakistani occupied Kashmir wants independence from both the state and also that its their own very right to choose for themselves we were occupied by 100 years and Britian had to give us Freedom one day ....similar is with Kashmir respect the will of ppl ....That's how great nations are built.....respecting others.......Anyway when i told him why don't you pressurize your Govt to hold a publicite he chickened out but Bara Bhai is not suppose to chicken out ...he always has a bigger heart and make sure things work out for everyone
@Waseem Sarwar: "I have heard good things about Modi’s good governance....." Besides this he is scrupulously honest, which is a rarity in south Asian politics.
Great, now he can slaughter Muslims over all of India after he becomes PM, just like he did as CM of Gujrat.
@jimmy: unlike India, minorities are safe in Pakistan. Forgot what in Gujarat & just now Moradabad.
This is bad news for Pakistan from the looks of Pakistani Comments. And by thumb rule, it has to be good news for India. Go Modi.
@Faisal You were so confident that you seen a video and made you mind that Modi is a killer ! Either you havent seen any such video or may be you had seen video of movie. In India every one is after Modi, even if a tiny evidence is there, Modi will be in Jail ! some of Indian politicians and media starts blaming as communal even if he call his opponent Arjun Mian. because Mian may mean muslim man ! (its common phrase are mian kya kar rahe ho ! ) . Media start declaring him as COMMUNAL if he even use a word like Burqa, and declare him that hi is communal, anti muslim. Again, 2002 riots were not started by Modi or BJP. Those started after Godhra train burning. (now please dont say that you was told that train too was burnt by Modi)
@Faisal: Can you share those videos.
BJP appears to be on a roll...........and Modi is the most visible face around. Its time to cut through the rhetoric and negative media output and find out about the man, his thinking and his achievements, because it looks like he's going to be India's next PM.
We the Indian's will decides who will lead us in 2014. Pakistanis have no say or chance nor any control to object for our choices and opinions. We don't believe in making any particular community happy, Mr. Modi is our number 1 choice and we will vote for him in Millions. Muslim votes have little relevance now as we know what is for best of our interest ( National and International )
@Faisal: There were many in India including Teesta Setalvad who blatantly lied and encouraged false sworn testimony in Gujarat riots which has now been proved. The reason you cannot find such a video is because no such video exists. Do you think Congress would not have gone to Chief Election Commissioner to ban Modi if it had such a video in their possession? Please note that the late Bal Thackeray was banned not just from contesting elections but even casting his vote in an election for 6 years because it was proved that he had indulged in hate speech.
Sorry my comment was about the rape incident.
@Faisal: If there was this video. Modi would be running around the courts and maybe jail to get himself out of trouble. Lies on top of lies. We shouldnt have expected any better.
@aqib: architect of gujrat violence is none other but muslim terrorists who burned 59 hindu pilgrims alive for no reason.
To all my Indian friends: Its quite a few years old but I am sure if you look, you'd find or you can go ask Tehlka, they'll have that in their archives. In a short time, I couldn't find the direct link, but how on earth could you miss that, it was widely covered by Indian media and the operation was carried out by your own Tehlka.com. Here is the wikipedia reference to it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheTruth:Gujarat_2002 (PS: He may have done some developement but he is the killer and that too of a worst kind and no sane man can ever support such a monster). And let me find sometime, I'll get the links for you incase you people fail to get that yourselves.
This is BJP's biggest mistake. Modi has not won even one seat outside Gujarat. After The talk of Modi's crowning started making rounds BJP lost Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal and Karnataka. He did not even canvas in Karnataka. Now its going to be BJP versus the rest. BJP has only 20% vote at the best. Advani is right. Now there will be elections in MP, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Delhi. So much hype is created about Modi that if MP or Chhattisgarh is lost Modi will be known as a loser. BJP has played its cards too soon. There will be only two allies Shiv Sena and Akali Dal, not wholeheartedly. The biggest beneficiary will be Congress. However BJP will get less than 100 seats.
@ModiFied: Gujrat riots like friendly beginning perhaps?
@ayesha: At least in india victims can complain bravely to police and convicts are hanged rather than your country were people charge victim of adultery if she is unable to produce 4 male witness,and as far as modi is concerned he will become PM if people votes for him rather than taking it by force like your military.
I am a Pakistani but have fellow Pakistanis lamenting Modis rise in India forgotten that 50000 of our own countrymen have been killed but we are embracing negotiations with their killers? Justice begin at home, so any protests against injustice must begin at home before credibility is built to criticize other countries. Let the Muslims in India vote against Modi if his crime is so severe.
@sundeep: But again it happens only in India.
Disaster approaching India--Pak relations......hope not!!this guy resembles Ayaz Amir????

@Faisal PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share links of videos of MODI (or RSS chiefs) which says kill Muslims
FEELS amazing to see some pakistani brothers and sisters worrying about welfare of minorities in india..! jst wish they would show same sophestication while dealing with their own minorities..!
I am sure Moodi's best buddy in Pakistan, Imran Khan would be mighty happy right now and praying for Moodi's accent to the Premiership of India :D
@Pakistani: Do I need to tell you what happen in Pakistan. How minorities are treated by your government aided organization.
@Faisal: Can you share those videos? Stop lying.
@Raja: "I don’t mean to be rude, especially to a lady, but I think you should mind your own business. Leave India alone. We will sort out our problems, whatever they are. Mind your own ‘nation’"
It would be great if you could give the same advice to your compatriots that visit Pakistani news sites and give their biased/jingoistic opinions about Pakistan.
"Mind your own ‘nation’, which is being destroyed by the very monster that it itself created (TTP & Company)"
How is the Taliban destroying Pakistan?We're winning this was against them, the Taliban is only present in remote tribal parts of Pakistan, they haven't achieved anything, they haven't gained any territory nor have they succeeded in making us adopt their laws or way of life.
Congratulations to all Indians.. Now I got some hope on India's economic progress.. This is disastrous for congress..
I have heard good things about Modi's good governance so Indians have the choice to choose him for their own welfare.
Hey Moderator where is my comment ?
@Deepwater: And what proof do you have about Hafiz Saeed? Please share us to take a strict action against him. We are not school kids, your media and politicians are obsessed with Pakistan name and enmity.
@Ayesha So sad & feel sorry for so called biggest democratic & secular nation.
I don't mean to be rude, especially to a lady, but I think you should mind your own business. Leave India alone. We will sort out our problems, whatever they are. Mind your own 'nation', which is being destroyed by the very monster that it itself created (TTP & Company)
@Faisal
Yes, Faisal, post a link to that video if you have any credibility beyond rumor mongering.
Pakistan readers are behaving like school kids fearing a strict new headmaster.
@faisal, Share that link with us, if you have any. Plz don't concoct things just to prove your point. Thanks
I think BJP finally has a chance to win on its own, if the popularity of Modi translates into votes.
So sad & feel sorry for so called biggest democratic & secular nation.
Architect of the Gujarat massacre getting his crown.
@Faisal: Will you please post the links to those videos ?
This is the best news not only for India but for entire sub-continent. Hope Mr Modi makes it to the Prime Minister of India. Politics of selective appeasement has to end and every Indian needs to be treated equal under the law. Same civil code and same criminal code for all. Take my words, if Mr Modi wins the elections, Indo-Pak relations will see the real new friendly beginning.
What a Day !! Am so happy..
Seriously...?? It happens only in India.
And there you go. I can never forget those videos showing Mr. Modi asking his accomplices to slaughter Muslims. And this man is supposed to lead a 'secular' nation. Amazing India!
So BJP decides to go ahead without Muslim vote bank
