Deciphering Narendra Modi's win

For a few days there was nothing on TV and in print other than Modi. It was Modi all the way and right fully so.

But the way media went about claiming that it was a win for moditva='hindutva + developement' is glossing over the man's achievement and hiding their laziness in doing their homework.

Political scientists and analysts don't seem to base their comment or interpretation on either facts or a well grounded theory.
why can't you not use the basic notion of science? Finding the relevant facts for a start. How many surveys were quoted in the media report? I am not counting electoral poll related surveys as relevant here.

How many surveys were conducted to rate Narendra Modi's Leadership
qualities with that of Sonia Gandhi?
Here's what a survey could have included

• Leader's commitment-Sonia vs Modi
• Leader's integrity-Sonia vs Modi
• Identifying the leader as one of their own. Sonia vs Modi. In question format- With which one of these leaders do you feel 'apnapan'? A.Sonia B.Modi
• Leader's identifying the leader as representing their interests-
• Leader's Honesty
• Leader's No non sense approach
• Leader's Track record of developement
• Leader's Self above people attitude..Does he or she promote a
  dynasty?
• In the event of a tie which is more important A.Developement with allegations of minority torture B.Developement with allegations of minority appeasement
• How often does this leader push things under the carpet?

I think the media folks don't think. The guy on site can't but the back room guy can.

Some more questions

Democracy means that the majority views have to be articulated. Problems taken by their horns. Even if Modi had said we are better off without sohrabuddin I am sure he was articulating the view of a majority.(This is not to justify the encounter - but to merely state that people's views are not necessarily politically correct.)

what's communal?

Unless you are the media type you will know that there is a simmering distrust of other faiths-riot or not. If BJP says look I would want to solve it this way-What is congress's response?None other than brand BJP as communal.

• Is congress/left even aware of mutual distrust?
• Does congress/left have an agenda for promoting mutual trust?
• Are they willing to bet their last dollar(allright Rupee then) on what they beleive is right?
  

As I said most media gets fail marks on their Modi trail. Times of India gets pass marks courtesy of Mr Swapan Dasgupta.

In my opinion one would have known the results much before had you been there at say Ahmedabad and felt the pulse of the people there.I had told my wife to take Modi's victory for granted.

People prefer originals to fakes, genius to charlatans and leaders to followers. Let a thousand Modis bloom in the BJP,congress and the left.
