· Hung Parliament se dar nahi lagta sahab, par Modi se lagtaa hai…

· It is quite fashionable in India to brush Congress communal violence and Communist ideological violence under the carpet.

· They say: BJP has 2002 and Congress has 1984.
The truth: Congress has 1969, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1989, 1992…
Just check the history books.

· The Bihar BJP-JD(U) marriage is like a husband and wife getting perfectly along but divorcing due to father-in-law problems.

· Bihar BJP’s new war cry…
Modi for CM! Modi for PM!

· To his fans Modi is an idea whose time has come.
To his detractors he is a 4-letter word.
To his detractors, Advani was around when someone said, “In the beginning was the word”.
To his fans… errr… does he have any left?

· Advani is History.
Modi’s 2014 impact is a Mystery.

· In cricket analogy, Narendra Modi is the captain and LK Advani is now the 12th man who thinks he’s the non-playing captain.

· If everyone does an Advani, then Narayan Murthy will be Infosys chief till 2035, Sonia will complete 40 years as Congress President and Sachin will play 300 Tests.

· At times I think that Robert Vadra has a greater chance of being Prime Minister than Narendra Modi.

· Advani spin #23…
I am just a 25-year-old sathiya gaya hua aadmi!

· There will be 3 major waves in 2014: Anti-Congress, Pro-Modi and Anti-Modi.
The sum of these 3 waves will decide the next government.

· India has had two octogenarian PMs.
Advani wants to be the hat-trick PM.
At this rate the BJP will surely get a hat-trick of defeats in 2014.

· LK Advani ke PM ke sapne ko hatana mushkil hi nahin namumkin hai.

· BJP launches Mission272 for 2014.
Advani launches Mission 2019.

· Dear Advani,
You retired and are being flooded with sympathy.
Had you retired in 2008, you could have become PM via a sympathy wave in 2009!
Now things have been greatly Modified.

· Remember…
Q: What is the Expiry Date of an Indian politician?
A: Only when he expires.
(Chhodenge na hum tera saath o saathi marte dum tak)

· Modi does his first miracle after coming to “power” in the BJP.
He gets Advani to retire!

· Advani’s PM dreams are Goa-ing, Goa-ing, gone…

· Godwin’s law: Given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably makes a comparison to Hitler or the Nazis.
Godwin’s India law: While discussing Modi, a comparison to Hitler or the Nazis will be made in no time at all.

· Jo bhi Goa jaata hai, mast ho kar laut-ta hai.
Ab Modi bhai sahab ko dekh leejiye na!
Only losers miss a chance to go to Goa.

· Modi ke liye Dilli door hai.
Advani ke liye Goa door hai.
Rahul ke liye India hi door hai.

· Congress thinks Rahul is the cure for Namonia.
They don’t realize that their cure is worse than their disease.

· 2004: Vajpayee lost.
2009: Advani lost.
2014: BJP itself is trying to make Modi lose.

· Vajpayee was the original hardliner.
He was moderate in front of Advani.
Advani is moderate in front of Modi.
Hard. Harder. Hardest.

· Political ages…
Sweet Sixties: Chidu (67), Sonia (66), Modi (62).
Super Seventies: Pranabda (77), Swamy (73), Pawar (72).
Energetic Eighties: Karunanidhi (89), Advani (85), Manmohan (80).

Modi Advani Goa musings…

· Dear Congress,
Now that you have declared it a Namonitis virus, know that it strikes the old in the BJP and everyone in the Congress, Media and Civil Society.
That’s a win-win situation for the BJP.

· Advani boycotting Goa…
This is like the Principal reporting in sick in fear of the School Captain.

· Whether he’s too old for politics is moot, but Advani is definitely too old to enjoy Goa.

· Ek Modi anaar sau bimaar.

· Indian Politics…
Age of consent: 30.
Adulthood: 40. (Rahul)
Get really noticed: 60. (Modi)
Second round of jawani: 80. (Advani, Manmohan)
Retirement: 100.

· The amount of promotions Rahul and Modi have received is not funny…
…and they are still so far from the PM’s chair.

· Advani to abhi bachcha hai jee.
Karunanidhi is older than Advani.
Older still is Lee Kuan Yew who held an official ministerial post for 50+ straight years from the age of 35 to 87.
