"For over a decade, Modi has not lacked for comparators. He's been likened to Nero, Hitler, Putin. To me, he has all the makings of a Recep Tayyip Erdoğan: a hi-tech populist holding together a fragile coalition of big business, impatient urban youth and religious fundamentalists. Those disparate groups can be kept together as long as growth comes. But if it doesn't, Modi and his generals will go hunting for an enemy: Pakistan, India's own minorities, and the pseudo-seculars."
With the Lok Sabha elections just weeks away, a Leftist Opinion: "Who are the AAP voters who would otherwise vote for the BJP? By definition, they are people who wouldn’t mind having a prime minister who presided over a massacre of Muslims in Gujarat (whether or not they know what role he played in it). This is where the AAP and BJP constituencies overlap. But these voters are fickle. AAP issued just one statement during its election campaign about the violence in Muzaffar nagar, and apparently that was enough to make the overwhelming majority of Jats, who constitute a strong voting bloc in outer Delhi constituencies, decide to support the BJP. In other words, the more AAP makes anti-communal statements or takes left-wing positions, the less it is a threat to the BJP."
AAP changes political chemistry in an election year (AAP has now declared that it will contest the national elections due to take place in April-May) Opinion by Saba Naqvi, aljazeera 15.1.14: ...one may have expected more enthusiasm from the left: Since the liberalisation of the economy, AAP has been the first influential force to actually unsettle the politician-business nexus and demand scrutiny. What is happening instead, is that commentators are demanding to know AAP's stance on issues like Kashmir and national security, both areas on which mainstream parties have to tread carefully. Because AAP is the creation of an activist like Kejriwal, there is an expectation that he will take a position on every issue. But within AAP there is an argument that realpolitik demands ambiguity on some issues. The party says it wants to occupy the middle and appeal to a cross section of opinion.
by Niharika Mandhana WSJ 2 Jan, 2014 In Delhi's Dec. 4 state polls: -AAP 28 seats -Bharatiya Janata Party 31 seats -congress p 8 seats (of 70 allinall) “The common man dared to enter politics because politics in this country failed,” Arvind Kejriwal, AAP’s founder and Delhi’s new chief minister, said in the assembly on Thursday. “Very basic demands of the people were not met in the 65 years since independence.” In national polls, AAP, popular among urban middle-class voters, is likely to chip away at the support base of the opposition BJP, AAP’s leaders then had to prove that they could form a legitimate government. The party, which was created in 2012 out of India’s anti-corruption movement, sailed through its first legislative test with support from the Congress party, which has eight seats.

Among other things, if the United States pressured Burma it would be at odd with India and China, both of which trade with Burma. Once again, a nascent nuclear-weapons program is used as an implement with which to bludgeon states when it serves our purpose such as Iran. But when dealing with it puts the United States at odd with states that it doesn't wish to alienate (further, in the case of China), it's all too willing to turn a blind eye to its nuclear program. Burma no doubt banks on that." Russ Wellen 25 oktober
