The Modi math will not work outside Gujarat
by Contractor on Dec 23, 2007 06:07 PM

Do the math - 80% of 14% is 11.5% ; 35% of 80% is 28% ; it adds upto 39.5% . The maximum vote % BJP alone has every got nationally is something like 26-27%. Politics is about cold blooded calculations. The math in Gujarat is different because Muslims are less than 10% there so it is easy to have minority bashing politics.

The Sonia remark "Maut ka Saudagar" is brilliant. Modi should be made to win Gujarat- works best for Congress. Get 80% of minority votes in the rest of the country and congress is home and dry.

Modi wins. BJP loses.
