  • Q: Prabhu which way Bihar will go in 2014?
    A: Disaster in the form of a hung assembly with Lalu getting the largest number of seats if BJP fails to polarise upper caste votes in its favour.

  • Q: Dear Prabhuji, the JD(U) leadership didn't state concrete reason as why they had pulled out of NDA. Is it because JD(U) is confident of going all alone in 2014 election or they are planning to merge in UPA?
    A: JD (U) is very clear. They are afraid of Modi. Nitish Kumar still wants to be a candidate for the prime Minister and retain Muslim votes.

  • Q: What purpose will it serve by observing Bihar Bandh alleging betrayal by JD(U)? What about SC directive on observing bandh by political parties? Who will pay for loss of life, property and poor people's earnings?
    A: For political parties, judiciary is not relevant. They can flout any law in the name of democracy and protecting the rights of the citizens.

  • Q: On what basis MMS is calling Nitish secular? Is it that Nitish has become more secular after parting company with BJP? Will Jaya Amma become communal if she aligns with NaMo or BJP?
    A: That is how communalism and secularism is defined in our country. Congress thinks anyone with the BJP is communal. Once that party deserts the BJP it becomes secular. On the Other hand, BJP is ready to welcome to its fold any tainted leader if he or she leaves the Congress. It is just a politics of opportunism.

  • Q: Is it possible for BJP to get the same number of seats in Bihar in 2014 Lok Sabha elections?
