There is nothing to take into consideration. The Congress is already fighting a half hearted campaign due to strong anti-incumbency factor. One should not be surprised if they have already decided to sit on the opposition benches or at the most become the king makers. In the event they can nominate a leader of the opposition which may or may not be Rahul Gandhi.
But this in not the point under discussion. The point under discussion is whether it is profitable to nominate a PM candidate and fight an election under his leadership or whether to win the election first and then decide who would lead the party in Parliament. In the UK there is a party in power and a shadow cabinet with each member specialising in one or more portfolios. and usually they fight elections on the basis of the existing shadow experience..
During the last NDA win, the BJP had a choice between LKA and ABV. LKA had more right to the job but due to relatively fresh memories of the Babri Masjid, it was considered safe to put forward the modest face of ABV. LKA got two chances thereafter and he was getting ready for a third one when the RSS decided, to LKA's dismay that it was time to put a new face forward. But more recently, a meeting between LKA and Mohan Bhagwat has rejuvenated the old war horse and he declared that his task was not over yet and that he was going to fight an election from his old constituency. It will be speculative to say anything more on this.
"The BJP/NDA's nominated N Modi is running a very successful Presidential type of campaign but with a grave strategic risk where political isolation is almost certain. He also has little chance of attracting friends on equal basis before the elections either in his own political fraternity or in other parties. If Mr Modi gets a shot at governance without sweeping control, he will have to placate partners. That would result in the world seeing a new Narindra Modi, someone more amiable. It he has to stay as he has been so far, he must either perform remarkably well in the polls or else he will be remembered as the biggest marketing hoax of Indian elections."

It appears that you are not taking into consideration the circumstances. The present circumstances are such that the people are completely fed up with the Congress and the cottary and the dynasty as also they were not so happy with the BJP under the leadership of Advani and the group and the reports were there that BJP willl not get as many votes as it will get if it nominates Modi as its PM candidate. By the way, you have stated that experience has shown thatelecting a PM isbetter than imposing a PM in waiting. Will you cite an example of your so called experience?V.S.SardesaiFrom: "devinder.thakur@btopenworld.com" <devinder.thakur@btopenworld.com>

What is more embarrassing. A PM chosen by the party after its has fought and won an election or name one before the election and not win it. This leaves an eternal PM in waiting who looses a couple of elections and then you bring another one and make him a PM candidate perhaps in waiting again. Experience has shown that electing a PM is better than imposing a PM in waiting. Devinder

I agree with you that we must know who is going to be our PM. It is absurd to say that the MLA/MP will choose .Secondly only CM should be chossen from the MLA's only. No MP should be forced as an CM . If the MP has the guts he should run for the MLA.RAJYA SHABHA MEMBERS SHOULD BE ELECTED FROM THE SAME STATE &NOT FROM OUTSIDE THE STATE. because these are members who are basically chamchas of the big bosses & they dont have the guts to fight electionsPM term should not be more than two terms.Party president also be not more than two termsOnce a Governor he should not be allowed to fight any election & TERM should be maximum two terms.No politician should be made governor .Please bring good beaurocrates /Army Generals !

ToIndia Against CorruptionVote for the party based on thePrime Ministerial candidate in the parliamentary polls.There are certainly much better persons in India today than Kejriwals, Raj Thackerays, Venugopals (of TDP). There are honest and productive workers consisting of scientists, engineers , economists and NGOs , who really contribute to the national growth in variety of ways. Unfortunately, our media do not take note of them but only focus on those indulging in antics, gimmicks and rowdy behaviour in parliament, assemblies and in public life.In view of such attitude of media , an impression prevails that India consist only of such elements, which is affecting the morale of the entire population and image of the country in the world.Inspite of the corrupt politicians and bureaucracy, still a lot of good work is going on in the country and many Indians are increasingly being recognised internationally for their achievements , though Indian media may ignore them. This is a sad state of affairs.Certainly, a capable Prime Minister can bring about a healthy climate of growth and progress and bring respect to the country and government, where quality Indians would be recognised and given encouragement and appropriate positions . When such healthy and progressive climate is built, it would inevitably lead to a situation where discredited persons cannot hold the country to ransom as at present.Obviously, the country needs honest , strong and well motivated Prime Minister who is ultimately responsible for all happenings in India in one way or the other.During the forthcoming parliamentary polls ,the electorate should be given a clear choice as to who would be the next Prime Minister by the political outfits like Congress party and third front alsoPeople should really be given an opportunity to vote for any party, based on the person projected as Prime Minister by the party.India cannot afford government leadership of the present standards anymore, which mean that the people would have a choice about the person becoming the Prime Minister and political coterie would not decide this.N.S.VenkataramanNandini Voice For The Deprived
