Narendra Modi is BJP's PM candidate for 2014 !

After all the confusion and discussions BJP has finally come out with the announcement that Modi would be their PM candidate ...The usual political reactions were heard..Generally this news has been received favorably in all sections of the society and opinion polls were showing more than 80% people voting for modi..

BJP PM candidate Mr. Narendra Modi is going to attend the Ilanthaamarai (Budding lotus) Conference which is exclusively for youths, This conference is going to be held at Trichy, Tamilnadu. BJP is trying hard to make this conference a grand success and a remarkable event.

Politics is all about activism and gathering and listening to masses and taking care of their security and needs.

But these can not be ignored in democratic countries like India it seems. All the parties spaend huge amount of money to just gather masses. It is not a good sign for politics and country as well. Atleast PM candidates fo the various parties should realize this fact

Absolutely, I agree with yours point, and also in addition I think all national parties should declare their PM candidate, so that voters can choose from among them, and when that party comes to power and the person who is declared PM candidate takes oath, the voter then can feel that he has given the vote to this person.

What you suggest is not according to our political system as enshrined in constitution. There is no direct election of Prime minister. Only elected MPs elect Prime minister. That depends on composition of parliament after election. Also consider practical aspects. If smaller parties like CPI(M), Trinmool Congress, Biju Janata Dal, Rashtriya janata dal declare their P.M. candidate, this will be too bizarre and funny. If no party gets a majority- which usually happens- the Prime minister candidate will emerge only after parliamentary election and the exercise of declaring P.M. candidate beforfehand will be an exercise in futility. As people do not vote directly for P.M., there is absolutely no significance of so called Prime ministerial candidate before new Lok Sabha is formed.

Obviously Gulshan Ji. In our democratic country, the party/alliance which gets the majority needs to select the Prime Minister by the Member of Parliament's.

It is right Prime minister of Chief minister selected by MP and MLA but it is only is books. Indeed Prime Minister and Chief Minister deputed by Party Chief. BJP is not a individual based party so Party declare Modi as their PM to get benefit of his Image. Modi is also first choice of big Industrialist of India.

The MPs indeed elect PM and MLAs indeed elect CM even if this is decided by party in power. But even then the PM can be elected only after elections. Party position in parliament is deciding factor. Nominating somebody before actual elections does not carry much meaning.

I think it sounds okay in theory about selection of PM or CM but it almost always is the decision of party high command in the end. Do you think Manmohan Singh was Congress MPs' collective choice?

Even though Congress High command decided 'Manmohan singh' yet the fact remains that MPs of Congress and allies all accepted the decision. But this is not major issue. What matters is 'party composition' after election. If Congress were not biggest party and/ or could not manage enough allies, PM would be different. Now will congress or Sonia Gandhi be able to decide PM if Congress does not get sufficient number in parliament. This is about others also.

But that is obvious and no one can even think about such a proposition or can make it happen. That is only possible if a group manages to get enough seats.

The way things are heating up one can never be sure what the outcome is going to be in 2014 ! Today Rahul Gandhi has made some very controversial statement regarding the ordinance passed about the criminalisation of the legislators and ministers, saying it should be torn and thrown in the dust bin....I wonder what was the purpose? as it just an honest out burst or a calculated move to get the maximum mileage since BJP is already crying out against it...

Maybe it would give a new controversy to whole issue that will help Rahul gaining more credibility. Isn't it kind of going against his own party-lines? I hope he knows, what he is trying to do!

I agree with Rahul. In fact, what he said is same as opposition parties also say. But this raises issue how Congress is running. Whatever decision is taken by union cabinet after due discussion in the party forum must be final. It appears that Rahul Gandhi and others had not raised their views in party forums and have suddenly become strong opponent of ordnance. This is not the way a government can function. If affairs are run in such a manner, there is no hope for Congress or UPA in forthcoming parliamentary elections. Blow hot blow cold cannot be prudent way of administration.

From what I perceive Manmohan Singh is no doubt a shadow PM and weak and if he has tried to push the ordinance bill it is under pressure because he may not personally be for it ! But with Rahul bursting out against it puts him in a spot and I can imagine how embarrassing it would be for him which is just not fair especially after the way he has upheld the family during thick and thin..

Not just Manmohan singh entire union cabinet who approved the ordnance and sent for Presidential assent is embarrassed. This also reflects badly on the organization and administration. Rahul Gandhi being No. 2 in Congress is very much part of the ruling alliance decision making body and it makes no sense to suddenly come with such outbursts. I fail to understand how the UPA- organization and government work. Although Rahul Gandhi is right in the particular issue, he is too late to voice his dissent . This style of functioning is sure to bring UPA and Congress to doomsday.

It just goes on to show the disparities among party and the government, according to some news channels September 21 meeting of congress approved this all are present after BJP publicly denounced this and then it seems president is delaying the accent as he is consulting three prominent constitutional experts on this, then these press conference comes out.

Probably the only good thing that came out of Digvijay Singh was his opposition to the ordinance bill which he had voiced even before Rahul Gandhi's outburst and also Deora junior had openly condemned the bill....I too agree with Rahul but again the way he has brought it out after it was passed and he being the VP of congress etc makes it a bit of a sham !

Okay I agree with you but why Rahul could not wait for Manmohan to return and discuss with him. Does Rahul wants us to stay in the category of fools of the highest level to believe that he did not know about this important ordinance before it went to president? If he is trying to make us believe that, if he is trying to ridicule the bill, it is nothing but a planned scheme of congress party on collective basis.

Of course now it looks as f it was a well planned and executed strategy by Rahul and his cronies, and even if he is right in his opinion, the way he did is another one of his flipflops...He is by now known for his unpreditable behavior, not a good sign in someone aspiring to be a future PM..

The way the ruling party functionaries are behaving only brings the ruling party, alliance and administration to ridicule and this is surest way to reach doom early.

I think after honorable President of India, delays the assent as he sought opinions of three constitutional experts government senses the odd and for this press club of India press conference of Rahul, as the result of this, some times, when any policy decision made, one should look beyond it, professional organization look for all the other aspects of any decision making.

Of course Rahul Gandhi intervened only after things were going worst for ruling alliance. Such belated action as a reaction to unpleasant situation is hardly worth appreciation.
