RE:Modi's re-election (cont.)

opinionatedme says... "At least it is a honest one. If you can accept Modi as Supreme Dictator, attribute all progress and Gujurati entreprenuerial spirit to Modi, why not high command deciding. After all that's how the alternative function. It is not much to go by, but anthing is better than Modi!! "

Opinionated... the reason of my query for alternate leadership is, if you are familiar with Gujarat Politics, there is no leadership for Cong in Guj

2 options are - Shankarsihn Vaghela past BJP defector and another is Bharat Solanki - if you try to fit him in your standard he is even bigger criminal than Modi.

By the way, as opposed you are to Dictatorship, what are your thought on Nehru FAMILY Dynasty in India.

The queries were directed at me and POPHEAD answered.

In 1977, when the country voted out the Congress, the mood was even a donkey was matter than Indira Gandhi. In 1980, the mood was that a donkey was better than the Janata Party. So there was a landslide in both cases. To answer your query, even a donkey is better than Modi.

How much I know of Gujurat? Enough.Visit Gujurat often enough.

Opinion on Nehru Dynasty? That's the only sadly we have. Wish we had something better of course

Opinionated sez... "Opinion on Nehru Dynasty? That's the only sadly we have. Wish we had something better of course"

How about a donkey ? :)

talking about 1977, and I have to agree Donkey was better than Janata Party and especially way better than Charan Singh. But one has to know that Janata Party was combination of Jan Sangh , Indian National Congress (Organization) and Bharatiya Lok Dal (which was fusion of seven parties opposed to the autocratic rule of Indira Gandhi, and made up of Swatantra Party, Utkal Congress, Bharatiya Kranti Dal, and the Socialist Party )

And yes don't forget Indira loyalist, Jagjivan Ram deserted her and formed the Congress for Democracy, joining the Janata alliance.

Point I'm trying to make is without any public agenda or strong leadership nothing can be done, especially in politics. It was all about defeating Indir then and it is all about defeating Modi now.

No agenda, no plan , no idea nothing what so ever...

I think and it looks like Modi is far batter choice than alternate here - Cong.

By the way I was born and brought up in Gujarat.
