Gents - what is the update on the UP floods? I see pretty much zero coverage of it in the news papers (one English, one Malayalam) which I read. So either the media is not interested in the UP issues, or
Yogi & Co are managing the flood situation well and media is NOT finding any thing negative to report.

Mohan Lal, I don't think so would join the BJP yet. In Kerala, if any noted person in society joins the BJP he should pretty much ensure that he has all the means to lead a retired life. In his profession hence forth, he would not be able to make much progress. The "secular camp" would ensure that as professional he is finished. So if Mohan lal does decide to join BJP, he should ensure that;
i) he has good sources of income to lead his life,
ii) should be willing to lose opportunities in movies,
iii) will have to know and accept that his religion and caste identity would be used to dent his good will,
iv) and accept that he may still NOT win elections.
But yes these people do have an influence on other people, so BJP can use them for campaigns or to spread the message across. And Mohan lal generally has a lot of closet
Sanghies in his friends circle.

Don't give him ideas. INC folks can very well work out a good picture using Photoshop or GIMP and "prove" that Rahul Ghandi did the Kalias Manasarovar trip. And from what I know he is actually trekking it up via Nepal.

I do check up some media outlets which is entirely anti-Modi, and they have all been silent for a while. So either they don't have any clear picture, or they are not getting much negative stories.
In TG, KCR has apparently promised Modi that he will join NDA or support BJP govt post-poll.
In TS and AP, I feel BJP would have to play a good negotiating game as it will not be able to be in 100% control there. The classic game of
loose a battle or two, to win the war.
