RE:I had heard Achyut's name...
by Pankaj Mohan on Dec 07, 2007 12:43 AM

lancer, it's difficult to say right now. The urban mass supports Modi in a big way. Even (Achyut's) the weaker sections do support Modi, cause the cities have seen the development. The hardship for Modi is in the rural areas where caste politics will play its role - the Keshubai and Patidar (Patel) factor, you know. Modi is forced to use Hindutva due to the same reason it seems, as his development plank is very fool proof, there is hardly anything that you can counter about his development agenda with authority. But, development seems to be taking a back seat as Sonia's vicious remarks (merchants of death) has started to come...difficult to say now lancer!
