Nitish In Election Mode

From the Laloo-Nitish in-fighting showing signs of a 2/3rd sweep by the NDA, to a Laloo-Nitish patch-up but the NDA still holding a 55-45 edge, to a 55-45 edge for Nitish after the Bihar@2025 clarity, now looks like it is the NDA's turn to split and possibly make way for a 2/3rd sweep across the state by Nitish. This has been quite a turnaround. But this is Bihar, give it more time. The ground situation will stay colorful. Right now, as things stand, I think it is 65-35 in favor of Nitish.

Looks like Pappu has become persona non grata, with both camps thinking it best to keep away from him in fear he might spoil their good law and order image. And if Paswan and Jitan are going to clash like this, whatever little advantage Jitan brings along with him for the BJP will evaporate.

BJP's ally declares its chief Upendra Kushwaha as CM candidate in Bihar

In the caste-ridden politics of the state, there are over half a dozen BJP leaders from the upper castes and the backward castes who have staked their claim for being nominated as the chief ministerial candidate.

LJP to oppose 5 HAM candidates in Bihar Assembly polls

In a fissure within the NDA camp, the LJP on Sunday vowed to oppose five present and former MLAs associated with former Bihar CM Jitan Ram Manjhi's Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) in Assembly polls notwithstanding its decision to welcome Manjhi's outfit in the BJP-led coalition. ...... "We will put up our candidates against these five present and former MLAs as some of them had deserted the LJP in the past, while in case of others (rest) our candidates had lost by a narrow margin in the 2010 Assembly polls"

Bihar Polls: Cracks appear in NDA

Paras said that he had already apprised senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi of its decision to oppose the five HAM (Secular) leaders in the coming election for backstabbing and deserting the LJP after February 2005, Assembly poll in Bihar.

मोदी और नीतिश को एक दुसरे की जरुरत है

Modi wants to talk all development all the time. उसका एक कारण ये है कि he is a very mainstream, center of the road kind of guy on social issues. He is where you want him to be. But he is aware of the fringe elements in his own party, the extreme right wing types who are out and out bizarre, but if America is any lesson, those fringe elements have a right to free speech as much as anyone else, and they are here to stay. You can not shut them up, but you can try and drown them out. And that is why he tries to talk all development all the time. He wants the development talk to drown out the talk of the fringe elements.

Nitish actually has the luxury of talking back to those fringe elements. Modi does not have that luxury. So on social issues Nitish can help Modi. मोदी और नीतिश को एक दुसरे की जरुरत है। Modi and Nitish are not in the same party, but they are on the same side on social issues. That is also true about the political issues of democracy. Modi campaigned hard against Kejriwal as he should have, but once Kejriwal won, he reached out and wants to work with him. But there are elements within the BJP who want to harass Kejriwal. That is not Modi. Modi wants to respect the people. If the people want Kejriwal in Delhi and Mamata in Kolkata, Modi is going to respect the people. दल से बड़ा देश।

When FDR was in the White House, he would gather the labor leaders and say, build pressure on me so I can do the right thing. People like Nitish can build that right kind of social pressure so the fringe elements on the right end of the political spectrum don't get in the way of India seeing its best days ahead.

Both Nitish and Modi are disciples of Atal.

Bihar@2025 = $240 Billion

मामला आसान है? बिहार को १५% growth rate दिजिए ----- उस रेट पर अर्थतंत्र ५-५ साल में दोब्बर हो जाती है। अभी $60 Billion है ----- तो उसको २०२० में १२० बिलियन करिए और २०२५ में २४० बिलियन।

Nitish + Laloo In Bihar

Bihar polls: Narendra Modi’s campaign team now plans Nitish’s election win

India, Nowhere Close To An "Emergency"

English: cropped photograph of L K Advani with Hillary Clinton outside his residence. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Advani's remarks are an unfortunate attempt to become relevant again. Politicians in Nepal similarly refuse to get the work done on federalism and the constitution because, as soon as the work is done, they are going to become irrelevant. Who in their right mind wants to become irrelevant?

People like Laloo and Mulayam rode the Mandal wave. Advani rode the Kamandal wave. Ab to Development Wave chal raha hai. Developent Wave ne Mandal aur Kamandal dono ko nigal liya hai. Modi's background makes him the ultimate Mandal, and his clear majority win makes him the ultimate Kamandal as well.

Adavani "Hindu rate of growth" jamane ke log hain. 2% aur 3% se kam chala lete the us samay mein log. When people like Nitish idolize him at a personal level, that is fine. But when they idolize him politically, main to confuse ho jata hoon.

The BJP is a big tent. Us mein kism kism ke log hain. Kuchh log ultra conservative hain, kuchh Islamophobic log bhi hain, kuchh sexist log hain, actually dher sare sexist log hain, to tarah tarah ke log hain.

Lekin Advani aur Modi mein to Modi jyada liberal dikhte hain. Advani ne Ram Mandir ke naam par desh mein utna uthal puthal machaya tha. Bhul gaye?

Advani senior log hain. Aadar milni chahiye. There is no doubt about that. Shayad usi aadar bhav mein kami kamjori ho gayi hogi, to unhone hostile interview de dala. Ghabrane ki baat nahin hai. India is a democracy. Log to bolenge hi.

Laloo aur Advani dono ek jagah kisi mudde par aa jayenge, ye mujhe nahin maloom. Lekin aa gaye, emergency ke masale par. To wo po purani baat hai.

India mein abhi emergency ki koi sambhavana nahin, koi gunjayas nahin. Waise Advaniji ne news mein aane ke liye kah diya.

The Donald Is Plenty Smart

Never for one second think Donald Trump is stupid. He did not become a billionaire without doing some strategic thinking on the side. He is smart, that is precisely why he picked the party of stupid. He knows it will be easier to shine.

Only a few years back The Donald hosted Gaddafi on his property, but we are not going to talk about that. I would not want to hurt him politically.

All that Climate Change denying the Republicans did over the years, all that is now going to come to haunt them.

And to think The Donald used to be an Independent, then he realized all the fun that is to be had is in the Republican Party. Just you watch!

I don't know how The Donald feels about the Democrats in the race, but I happen to think they are too wonky! Nerds! Too many words. Too many books. Not enough pictures.

I think the 2016 race is going to be memorable, and The Trump is one of the reasons why. His out of the box hair is, quite literally, symbolic of his out of the box thinking. Republicans in Alabama don't know what just hit them.

No one is going to complain about there being too many debates. The refrain might be, not enough debates! There is sooooo much to talk about. The country's future is at stake, for Chrissake!

Donald Trump is a serious dude who just happens to have a sense of humor. Some people mistake his sense of humor and don't take him seriously.

Memo to Dems: The Donald is a gift that keeps giving.

The Trump's Trump Card

Remember when Condoleezza Rice got confused between Iraq and Iran on national television? To her credit (god bless her soul), she corrected herself before the sentence was over. But there are about 50 million Republicans who never did. And these are all people with voting rights. I worry for democracy in America.

Donald Trump entering the race is like the fox has entered the hen house. There was already a dearth of ideas among Republican candidates. Now this dude is going to suck up the remaining little oxygen. It is not possible to hold an intelligent policy conversation with this guy. Did you notice what he said about Mexicans? He sounds like Hillary 2016's Hispanic vote consolidation exercise, Hillary's own internal Hispanic voter outreach program.

"I beat the Chinese all the time!"
- Donald Trump

This quote is going to be the high point of his run. And he thinks he is beating the Chinese "all the time" because "I just sold an apartment to somebody from China." Is there something about the apartment the buyer needed to know? I defend the Donald's right to free speech. What would America be without a few microphones?

For every nonsensical remark you think Trump is making, there are about a million people out there who are lapping it up like it were gospel truth. Do not take this guy for granted. I am saying that to the Republicans in the race.
