i agree with you that modi has been winning convincingly - and in modern time. development is exactly the all-embracing issue for the hindus, who are now impatient and know very well in their hearts that their time has come. shiv sena simply is not there; i doubt it seriously if it is even in that league. gopinath munde needs to realize that it is his opportunity to shine like modi. should bjp go alone and do well all on its own, uddhav will see the writing on the wall for his own good and that of hindus in maharashtra. it seems to me maharashtra can't afford to keep on with the failed alliance beholden to now old senile bt's whims.
