    Another trick by Congressised media to project Rahul Gandhi. The people of India now can not be fooled by you all, courtesy Social media. You can never now manage perceptions by propogating fake news and fake surveys.

    I think is sure..pappu is helping modi in his goal of "congress mukth bharath"...as far as Modi speaking, he has spoken more than manmohan singh did in ten years...Some people here have probably not heard him or showing ignorance

    Since Modiji has already covered most of the countries around the globe, it is high time he sets his sights on administering India.

    In fact, this is what he was elected for, in the first place!

    India is badly in need of good governance, not countless new signboards announcing so many existing schemes repackaged as 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan', 'Make in India', 'Digital India', etc., etc...

    What we badly require is results on the ground, rather than empty slogans.

    We need our leader/leaders to deliver a more vibrant economy, lower rates of inflation, better job creation, higher standard of living, eradication of poverty, etc., none of which is evident, at present. In fact, we are not able to observe fulfillment of majority of the promises made by the ruling party, in the general election.

    Is the Indian voter/citizen perennially at the receiving end?

    now in dalits hands whether they wants dalit PM or not,if they want their PM they should give all 28 seats to UPA in next general election.because before they missed in Assembly election when there was chance for kharge.in Karnataka there is chance for only DK shivkumar not anyone for next term.

    Dread the day our country will be ruled by a zero IQ person like Rahul Gandhi who who has shown many number of times his ignorance of so many well known things, people and places. One classic example and biggest goof up is : Steve Job of Microsoft which he uttered while addressing the highly aware youth of our country.

    Let the Cong stop dancing. This is the same survey that in 2014 said that Cong will will by a huge margin and Rahul Khandi will be the PM. The same survey said that J Poojari will win with a thumping majority & he challenged the PM candidate to contest in Mlore. Later on all lost face. So till the election lets all hold our horses.

    Modi earned Popularity just be dramas only. Just read the following news published in a Mumbai Newspaper: -
    The Railway dept has confirmed that they have not issued any Tea Vending license in the name of Narendra Modi at any time as per their records for last 55 years. This Confirmation by Railway dept was in response to an application filed by an RTI activist just after last Lok Sabha Election. If Modi had sold Tea on Railway platform or inside Trains without any license then it is a Criminal offence and he is liable for Punishment as per Railway Rules. Since he has admitted that he has sold tea in trains & platform then it can be assumed that he has sold tea without license and for this offence Modi could be pulled to Court even now.

    In fact Modi's father had Railway Canteen contract and he had a very good income from this Railway Canteen. Hence, his family members had a very comfortable life. It is fully untrue that his mother ever worked as maid in others' houses.

    That is why Narendra Modi had ample time for acting in Gujarati Dramas and going from place to place with a touring drama troupe. That is why all his body language is like a drama artist which is very loud and artificial. Since he was away from family for many years due to his infatuation for dramas, he later on concocted a story that he was doing penance in Himalayas under a Yogi for 12 years.

    Hence, Modi should be called as Drama-wala and not as Chaiwala.

    BJP is putting its foot in the mouth. Just imagine, i all likelihood, SC will squash sedition case on Kaniah. What face BJP has to show? It is alienating dalit youth, students...The whole JNU controversy has united all the opposition together and have given fodder to next budget session. Where are the brains of BJP located?

    Instead of Rahul Gandhi if Cong had projected some other able person as their leader than by this time his popularity would have crossed Modi's popularity. But Cong people never understand this hard fact.
    Just see how Cong high command messed up Hebbal by-election and gave the seat on platter to BJP. Instead of imposing Sharif had they given ticket to Bhairati Suresh surely he would have won the Hebbal seat with his own popularity.
