Narendra Modi preferred over Rahul Gandhi: Poll

[sjakhars]

A recent survey done by lensonnews.com website suggests that people want to change the govt. at centre, prefer Narendra Modi over Rahul Gandhi as PM and prefer Rahul Gandhi over Manmohan Singh. This survey was conducted in around 40 LS constituencies and around 3800 people were asked to give their opinion. See the link below for more information:

An interesting excerpt from the report

"Narendra Modi has a huge lead over Rahul Gandhi among upper castes, OBCs, college educated and urban voters. The ratings are: upper castes (Modi 65%, Rahul 28%); OBCs (Modi 53%, Rahul 39%); college educated (Modi 57%, Rahul 35%) and urban voters (Modi 57%, Rahul 34%). Modi has a tenuous lead of 3% among rural voters (Modi 48%, Rahul 45%)".

Has the time come for premature (midterm) parliamentary elections?

What is your take on Modi preferred over Rahul?

What do people expect from Rahul and why is he preferred over MM Singh?


Regards.

How come Rahul is having so much acceptance among People.

In my opinion he should be nowhere near Modi. Modi is synonymous with development. He has done more than any Chief minister could do for a state. Yes the path has been bit rough. His involvement in Godhra, and may be term him as a separatist. And later on destroying the evidence and all that. But apart from that, he has revived the Gujrat economy. Gujrat is more or less a dry state. The barren land is not suited for agriculture but Modi has put one of the tremendous economic model.

That is why for most of the industrialist, Gujrat is a mainland for business. Tata shifted its nano plant from West Bengal to Gujrat. There are enough examples to prove Gujrat as an economic state. Gujrat Development makes headline in The Economist.

Now what Rahul has done for the country. When did he enter into politics. He is good at performing dramas. Latest UP drama is none other than that.

Some of the comments on this article are really interesting to read as well and they ask the same question.

As far as acceptance is concerned, "Gandhi" brand is promoted in this country like anything so I am not surprised.

many people will say that a survye of 3800 peoples will not be a decision of our 120 crore strength.but it is sure that raul vinci aka rahul gandhi has not a stand like modi.He is simply a scripted polititian by digvijay singh and other congresi leaders.Modi makes his stand himself and alone.Modi is a politician who proves himself in gujrat and rahul although he has silver spoon of gandhi family but he will never stand in the company of leaders like modi.

कांग्रेस का विकल्प यदि आप बीजेपी को मानते हैं , तो वो भी आपका भ्रम होगा, बीजेपी में भी साफ सफाई करने की आवश्यकता है, कांग्रेस से अधिक बीजेपी में फूट है, सबसे पहले तो आडवानी को सन्यास दिलाना चाहिए, बीजेपी के सभी वरिष्ट नेता प्रधान मंत्री बनना चाहते हैं, इन सबको शांत करना होगा इसके पश्चात नेतृत्व नरेन्द्र मोदी को देकर, उनके मन के अनुसार यदि बीजेपी को चलाया जायेगा, तो कांग्रेस तो क्या, इनके पिता भी भारत की सत्ता पर पुनः नहीं आ पायेंगें.

Little bit off the topic. But BJP has mainly 2 contenders as i recall , Sushma Swaraj & Arun Jaitley. Sushma however lacked the support of gadkari as she was against him becoming the party president. N clearly Modi cannot be used as a candidate for PM, due to Gujarat incident. If the incident would not have occurred the political equation would have been different for him. That apart, we can't compare a doodh peeta memna (Raul baba) with a performing lion.

Narendra Modi sahi me PM banane ke layak hai. Jo karne me vishwas rakhate hai unme ab Nitish Kumar bhi shamil hai. Ye lifetime golden opportunity hogi ki Narendra Modi as a PM ho.

Some of the interesting facts from Suhel Seth's blog. He used to be one of the critics of Narender Modi. But eventually he had to change his opinion following the development work in Gujrat. Not only him, Even The Economist has acknowledged the same. Here are some of the interesting points about Modi.

Excerpt from Suhel Seth's Blog :


The fact of the matter is that there is no better performer than Narendra Modi in India’s political structure. Three weeks ago, I had gone to Ahmedabad to address the YPO and I thought it would be a good opportunity to catch up with Modi. I called him the evening before and I was given an appointment for the very day I was getting into Ahmedabad. And it was not some official meeting but instead one at his house. As frugal as the man Modi is.


And this is something that the Gandhis and Mayawatis need to learn from Modi.

There were no fawning staff members; no secretaries running around; no hangers on…just the two of us with one servant who was there serving tea.

And what was most impressive was the passion which Modi exuded. The passion for development; the passion for an invigorated Gujarat; the passion for the uplifting the living standards of the people in his state and the joy with which he recounted simple yet memorable data-points. For instance, almost all of the milk consumed in Singapore is supplied by Gujarat; or for that matter all the tomatoes that are eaten in Afghanistan are produced in Gujarat or the potatoes that Canadians gorge on are all farmed in Gujarat. But it was industry that was equally close to his heart.



It was almost like a child, that he rushed and got a coffee table book on GIFT: the proposed Gujarat Industrial City that will come up on the banks of the Sabarmarti: something that will put the Dubais and the Hong Kongs of this world to shame. And while on the Sabarmati, it is Modi who has created the inter-linking of rivers so that now the Sabarmati is no longer dry.

He then spoke about how he was very keen that Ratan Tata sets up the Nano plant in Gujarat: he told me how he had related the story of the Parsi Navsari priests to Ratan and how touched Ratan was: the story is, when the Navsari priests, (the first Parsis) landed in Gujarat, the ruler of Gujarat sent them a glass of milk, full to the brim and said, there was no place for them: the priests added some sugar to the milk and sent it back saying that they would integrate beautifully with the locals and would only add value to the state.

Narender Modi is any day batter than the yavraj but BJP IS NOT. BJP IS OTHER SIDE OF THE SAME COIN PLUS DIVIDED HOUSE SO THE NATION WILL SUFFER MORE, public must wakeup and raise an alternative of both the corrupt and non fanctional parties

Kul milake baat ye hai Congress aur BJP mein to koi Khas Antar Nahin ahi par ek leader se farak padta hai yahi Congress hai Jiski Leader Aaj Soniya hai kabhi Netaji ne is pad ko sushobhit kiya tha aur us waqt is pariwar ki sitti pitti gum thi...Isi Congress ki Govt. P V Narsimha Rao ne bhi Chalai this .. Jiska naam bhul kar bhi koi Congresee nahin leta.. even Aaj ke maniniya MMS ji usi PV ki Den hai lekin tab Leader PV Saheb the to MMS kaam karta tha ..ab leader Madam ji hain to MMS sirf ...MSP (Madam se Puchhunga) par atke hain

Vpji i might have misconstrued it however one highlighted in bold ,does it mean -mating out and having kids if yes then change your perception/understanding that is my suggestion fi something else please make us understand.(FYI- Bache to janwar bhi paida karte hain)

What is this bad company? he has his own company and dictate his own terms unlike Di** Singh or our PM. Just an FYI ,this NRI community is not new , it was also there before him as well and at that time we never shaw the development we have seen under him. If not all then majority of credit goes to him only.

Totally in agreement with you, we can not compare both of them. one is nationalist person and other doesn't even about our nation.I think it is our responsibility to clear the people for whom it is a hobby or who are doing it for timepass.

चलो भाई एक मिनट के लिए मान लिया कि मोदी मर्दानगी तैं भरया पड्या सै, परन्तु अकेली मर्दानगी प्रधानमंत्री के पद के लिए नाकाफी है I मर्द तो डाकू मलखान सिंह और एक आत्मघाती एवं दुर्दांत आतंकवादी भी हो सकता है मगर उनको प्रधानमंत्री नहीं बनाया जा सकता I दूसरी बात संगत की भी आती है I संगत का अर्थ यहाँ पर है कि अमुक व्यक्ति किस राजनैतिक दल एवं विचारधारा से सम्बद्द है I इसके अलावा और भी कई बाते देखी जाती हैं I हालाँकि मैं जातिवाद का कट्टर हिमायती नहीं हूँ , परन्तु मुझे खुशी होगी अगर कोई जाट इस देश के प्रमुख पद पर आसीन हो I वैसे भी अगर आप मर्दानगी को ही कसौटी बनाना चाहते हैं तो जाटों की मर्दानगी जग जाहिर है और राष्ट्रहित में कठोर निर्णय लेने का मादा किसी जाट में ही हो सकता है - मोदी से कहीं अधिक I वैसे मोदी नै मै ख़राब माणस नहीं बता रह्या, बतौर मुख्यमंत्री इसने गुजरात में अच्छा काम कर राख्या बतावें सै लोग, लेकिन प्रधानमंत्री के लायक नहीं है और जब तक आडवाणी, सुषमा और संघ की संगत में रहेगा कभी प्रधानमंत्री बन भी नहीं सकता I

About Rahul, my take is that he is no match to Modi. Rahul does not have the requisite capabilities to be a Prime Minister of such a diverse, huge and complex nation as India. He is being imposed on the people by Congress which does not have any other choice but to keep the flock together in order to resuscitate the moribund party.

So you are saying in other words that being a jat is sufficient to be a PM? Some one who has years of public life behind him and proved himself time and again, should not be a PM? To me it is a clever attempt to sabotage the opinion building on this site. Let's not digress. No one else but congress talks about a third alternative. They are sure that their vote bank will be largely intact, may be chiseled away a bit though, but the third alternative would ensure a weak opposition, Foot daalo aur Raaj karo..pehale angrezon ki policy thi..aaj congress ki hai. If Congress can not fight on merit, then easier way for them is to divide and malign, highlight differences. Unfortunately, Congress needs a revamp more than any other party and the first step could be to dislodge the 'Gandi' family.

Shall I deem it a clever attempt on your part to advise all the opposition parties (and the entire Jat community) to rally under BJP or Sangh Parivar's banner??

 

[sjakhars]

Vikas Ji,
How dare you say anything against congress? We have no right to criticize congress, its leaders and supporters. Whatever congress/its leaders do is for the nation and whatever other parties/leaders do is against the nation. Congress leaders and supporters are the only nationalist remaining in this country.

कांग्रेस को जन्मसिद्ध अधिकार है इस देश पर शासन करने का, आप ये हक छीन नहीं सकते. वो चाहें तुष्टिकरण की नीति अपनाएं, चाहे फूट डालो और राज करो की नीति अपनाएं, उनके लिए सब जायज है. अगर कोई दूसरी पार्टी का नेता कहीं विकास करवा भी रहा है तो वो कांग्रेस की दया से और सहायता से कर रहा है या फिर किसी और के सहारे से क्यूंकि कांग्रेस के अलावा किसी भी पार्टी का नेता ना देश का भला कर सकता है ना ही जनता का |
