Narendra Modi is the BJP's PM candidate for 2014

He will have to do something magical to scrounge something significant in both UP and Andhra as these states have the most anti-modi minority populations.

I think the BJP will sweep Western U.P. now that the Jats have gone over to them due to the Muzaffarnagar Riots.

Good news!

TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu has been giving interviews to various bews channels hinting that he might return to the NDA. Now government formation looks a possibility. BJP's probable allies are AIADMK(25),SS(15),BJD(14),TDP(12),TRS(10),SAD(7),KJP(3)INLD(3),MDMK(3),JVM(2),JMM(2),AGP(2),AJSU(1), NPP(1),Independents(5). If the BJP can win 170-180 seats they are in with a chance of forming the government.

It would be great if NaMo could become PM. He is a good and able administrator with a level head above his shoulders. Unfortunately, NaMo's team is needing communal politics to get the much needed votes in the populous cow belt...otherwise the dummies keep voting based on "jaat" and the pseudo-secular gundas keep winning and looting. Hopefully Modi can stay clear of besmirching his name in that stuff. If he's been able to stay clear from the Gujarat riots in 2002, he'll be able to stay clear of whatever match-fixing mischief BJP needs to accomplish in UP/Bihar to get the votes.

Another thing is, the process of transforming India away from the gundaraaj post-independence will not be done by bringing Modi into PM's seat alone. Modi is not capable of overhauling the system. What India really needs is a Modi at CM-level at every state, regardless of party affiliation. For example Manik Sarkar from CPM in Tripura is a good man too.
