The Big Modi Blunder

Narendra Modi has a demi-god status among the hard-core BJP supporters over the country is a very well know fact. And this is very evident form the pro-BJP communities on Orkut too. Modi has been facing rebellion within the Gujarat BJP is a very well known fact too. His style of functioning has been equated to that of Hitler's by a seniour member of his party in Gujarat. In spite of all this Modi was expected to sail through and comfortably this time around too. Courtesy his development and the "Vibrant Gujarat" slogan. Gujarat under Modi has progressed rapidly is a very well known fact and has been accepted by his detractors too. Even the congress has not been able to nail him on the development plank. And this explains Madam's "Maut ka saudagar" rheotics. This was just a bait for Mr Modi to draw him into the volatile areas. But the seasoned politician in Modi was not able to identify this and has fallen prey to the Congress tactics.
Now Mr Modi finds himself in a precarious position and the development plank on which the BJP was supposedly riding seems to have been swept under the carpet. He could face disciplinary actions from The EC and hence is being forced to defend his comments on Sohrabuddin. Mr Modi is being drawn deeper and deeper into this mud-slinging. But the BJP sure did not want it this way and finds itself stuck in between. The top leadership is not able to openly endorse Mr Modi's comments and is being forced to attack Sonia.
All this I feel has definitely has made it a much more closer call for Mr Modi's prospects of getting reelected the CEO of Gujarat Inc. Dont be surprised if the BJP manage to just scrape through or even if the Congress manage to pull up a surprise.
