If you start changing captain like that then a stable team can't be formed. You need to have a strong captain who shoould be able to command the team.

If we wait for one 'strong captain', we might not have a stable team as we will keep loosing matches even in home conditions!

Whatever you say as a captain Dhoni is not a failure. If you get a performance like what we saw in recent series nothing a captain can do. The problem with Dhoni is that he is not in his usual form but that is the case with 3 4th of the team. You cannot held only responsble for this.

He hardly knows which is which; he simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.

It feels same as - 'Are you excited about the IND-ENG match?'
You feel excited about elections? Why? I don't know what to be so excited about the election. If it's a close fight than results might be the cause, but it's not.

'Candidate for PM' could create the problem, but not this election I guess...

This is a basic requirement to be or win in the election.
Neither only development can win nor only corruption can cause loss.
We get it a blame game but for those who don't have an idea about the bigger picture decides their vote casting from this game only.

This has changed. It was proven in 2007 and it's going to be done again in 2012.

Do you really think that he is winning just because of the development he has done?
Definately this is one factor but not the only one. My opinion though.

Agree. Its not the only one, but certainly the most important today.
NaMo has said that so many times in his rallies, lectures; and has made others to talk about dev first and then other things.

Yes, I am.
Result is already decided by the public and opinion poll. I am just excited to see the difference between the result of real result and opinion polls.
I hope result should be slight more then the opinion polls. You know what I mean.

So you mean that the Keshubhai patel factor may not be making any difference.
Also the opinion poosls were done a month and half back and I think the situation has changed a bit and that may have some impact on result.

Certainly not. Infact it can create loss to congress. as basically there are two kind of people in Gujarat 1. Modi 2. Anti-Modi.
second kind of people who didn't have any party to vote other then congress will now have a another home to rest with.
Also, Based on historical result new party aren't getting any influence in the result then 2-3 seats.

First phase is ended and we haven't seen any kind of controversy which can temper the election result. as it had been in 2002 and 2007.
There was a minor turn when two of the party tried their master cards. when congress tried with 9 Gas bottle temptation at the other hand Modi played with Sir-Creek issue of Kutch to not handing over to Pakistan till the time election is not being finished to PM.
So I think opinion poll result will be near to actual result. But It's politics lets wait till the 2nd phase.

Ah ok. But as the news was coming that he belongs to popular community there and if he is able to chanelize them (he did it earlier) then that will dent Modi's chances.

Didn't had any idea about this one. Not very closely following it this time.
But if he get the full majority then his chances for the centre post will be boosted.

As per the exit polls 85% of their community people are going to vote for Modi. Rest party is either they vote for Keshubhai, Congress and can't say. So there is not going to be any extreme dent.

Are you from Gujarat ? Have you passed any time of your life in Gujarat in past ?. Just saying.

Mr. Modi is definitely going to win. His all the efforts in this election are of rehearsal to 2014.

Yeah it looked like initially but I thought a senior leader like Kesubhai may be able to make difference.

Nah, just have some interest in politics.

And this will be very crucial or could be decisive for BJP in 2014 as well.

Will they? They have this golden opportunity win the series after gap of around 25-30 years. They should not loose this at any cost.
Also I feel that they basically are playing for that only. Just want to draw this match.
