Hello Friends, On 16th May 2014, what happened in India ? Off-course 2014 elections results were out but what happened unique in the history of Indian Politics. Yes 2014 election was only 1 man show of BJP's PM candidate Narendra modi. BJP won 282 seats single handly in whole India with surpassing the magic number (272 seats) for making a stable government in India. But here a question arises how could all this happen for BJP as they have got the biggest victory of their whole political journey. There might be some reasons behind that : 1. Strong PM candidate : Narendra Modi was the chief minister of Gujarat and suddenly he became the most popular personality of BJP over some well reputed leaders like Lal krishna Advani, Sushma Swaraj,Jaswant Singh, Murli Manohar Joshi etc.BJP chief Rajnath singh elected Modi as Prime minister candidate and after that "Lahar of Modi" was started in India. 2.

As all of you know that yesterday night, the Rajya Sabha passed a bill to amend the Constitution to facilitate the rollout of the historic GST amid government's assurance that the tax rates would be kept "as low as possible". The Constitution (122nd Amendment) Bill, 2014 was approved by the Upper House with 203 votes in favour and none against, after a seven-hour debate during which a rare bonhomie was witnessed among the ruling and the opposition parties.
