Modi to lose
by tamil on Dec 10, 2007 06:19 PM

For the sake of repeating, I dont think the Gujarat outcome is a foregone conclusion at all.
Secondly, the previous Gujarat election was not a normal election, as it was held after the massacre. The %u201Cexperiment%u2019 was not new - it was tried and tested in 1984 by the Congress under Rajiv Gandhi when Sikhs were massacred. That Rajiv Gandhi had a landslide victory after the massacre of Sikhs was no surprise. Neither was Modi%u2019s.Five years later in 1989, Congress under Rajiv suffered badly and lost elections.Let us see what happens to BJP in Gujarat five years after the unusual election of 2002.
