Modi's slip of tongue or signs of frustration? BJP strengthening AAP

Prime minister Narendra Modi's call to the Aam Aadmi Party leaders to join Naxals was a slip of tongue or is it a demonstration of unease over BJP Delhi unit's weak preparation for upcoming polls in Delhi? While everyone is demanding the Naxals to quit terrorism and join mainstream politics to achieve their ambition of bringing justice to the downtrodden, Prime Minister should not have made such a provocative statement. It's time to disband Naxalism and states must put their might to see that Naxal menace is over once for ever.

Modi while advising his cabinet colleagues to maintain restraint on making irresponsible speeches lost his calm in frustration due to failure in getting either clear majority or unable to patch up with PDP in Kashmir for the government formation.

It is surprising to see both Delhi BJP unit and also seniors like Venkaiah Naidu accepting AAP as their main rival in the elections to come. Frankly speaking AAP itself lacks any confidence with its party's internal debacles and revolts. While trying to show Congress on the downside, BJP is indirectly giving muscle strength to AAP.
