The obvious front runner is the BJP led NDA in 2014 Lok Sabha elections - Grewal



Ludhiana , 26 February 2014 -
National BJP leader Advocate, Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal said that in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections 2014 the season is on for political speculations. Talking in a press conference here today, he said that all knows of Delhi are continuing to evolve their views not based on any field reality but based on either their own assessments or what the pollsters keep indicating. He said till September 13, 2013 when the BJP announced Narendra Modi name for Prime Minister candidate-ship, the speculation was to will the Party be able to project one person Additionally, there was an argument that the issues of governance and anti-incumbency against the government will take a back seat and the elections will get polarized. The size of Modi?s rallies is unquestionably the largest I have seen in the past 25 years. Never since 1989 have we seen such enthusiasm in the Party rank and file; the only exceptions were the two elections of 1998 and 1999 when Shri Atal Bihari vajpaee was considered the most acceptable Prime Ministerial candidate in the political horizon of India. The BJP would have a high strike rate in States in the Northern, Central and Western parts of India. In states like Bihar and Karnataka located in the East and South, it would reconsolidate its gains. In some other States the BJP would be a balancer. Amongst various players in the traditionally Non-BJP states, the Modi BJP momentum could benefit any ally, even without an ally the party could pick up some stray seats. The aspirants for Government formation are many. The obvious front-runner is the BJP-led NDA. If the Congress is reduced to a double digit figure, it would be a clear loser. It cannot be the nucleus of an alliance. He said the "third Front" and the Federal front have too many claimants. There is hardly a large single claimant with presence in more than one state. Obviously, the front-runner's ability to first pass the post is significant. He said that the question now being posted is to How will the BJP led NDA cover the last mile, this is a time for theoretical calculations. He said that the "political pundits" will espouse on them. If one gets a feel of the ground reality it will become clear that these large crowds at Narendra Modi rallies are bringing a clear message, the front- runners score eventually will even be higher than what the pollsters are capturing. It is for smaller groups in several states to decide which way they want to move. There are smaller groups in several states which can marginally add to the collective vote of the BJP and allies partners.
