BJP Ready to Take on Congress in 2014 Elections

Bangalore: A messed up economy and corruption have polarized people of the country against the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA), and it seems that it has given the opposition National Democratic Alliance (NDA ) and other parties an upper hand in the next Lok Sabha polls, scheduled in 2014, say findings of latest India Today-Nielsen "Mood of the Nation " opinion poll.

The velocity of UPA’s slide has been threatening. The results give NDA the clear edge with just 20 months left to the next general election. The second largest party in the Lok Sabha is  back as a party of governance regaining its hold over north India. Though, that might be at the cost of its only government in the south. Being critical of the poll outcomes, the Congress felt that there was enough time for it to regain people's support even if the results were considered right.

Congress MP and national spokesperson Manish Tewari said "The UPA is in the ninth year of its governance... we are still about 20 months before the polls. Even a week is a long time in politics... Presuming that the figures (of survey) are correct, we are still 20 months away from election," as reported by India Today.
