Hats off to captain. He is the man who dared to dream, differently & managed to fulfill a life time dream of common people to fly. I am from mumbai, maharashtra, but sincerely feel that all the electorates from Bangalore, irrespective of caste and creed, give him a chance. Its sure that with 1 M.P. out of 543, cant do miracles, but lets give a chance and if he succeeds in developing his locality, then, definitely, we will find many educated, experienced people from finance/marketing and other streams contributing the nation, in the form of getting elected as an M.P. and then only we can say that India has progressed. With due regards and respect to all, a Defence minister has never done even a one-year course in defence matters, home minister is not aware of the problems faced by people in various states and the typical solutions needed to solve the problem. Here the scenario is, if you have a lot of 20-30 M.P.'s, you can negotiate the portfolio of your choice, more the M.P.'s in your kitty, better (money minting) portfolio in your side. If you manage a group of 50-60, then like in marketing - Collective Bargaining - you can make a syndicate and take the ministries of your choice, wherein, common man wont know at all what is been cooked up by them, where the money is utilised. Its an open fact, that like the 65,000 crores being released by the Centre for farmers relief, hardly, 20% must have reached to the end & the residual amount must have DEFINITELY been vanished.
Bangalore south people should elect him forgetting about the party which they belong to .Capt Gopinath had the guts to reduce Air fare which helped lots and lots of Indians to fullfill life time dream to go by flight atleast once in lifetime.We need people like Capt Gopinath and not people like Gowdas,Jayalalita,Amar singh,Mayawati,Raj Thackarey..........

Main fight is between BJP- Cong. This Capt fellow wont win and he will devide votes there. if he wins, it'll be wonder of the year.I think BJP has more chances due to heavy campaign & Anant Kumar's strong image. No matter what, there are ppl who vote for BJP. JD-s also will have its own muslim votes & muslim votes have no say in Blr south. Divide is only hindu votes & Kannada speaking southern ppl. Kumar might win with marginal votes. may be even 2-3K difference. Blore north- jaffer sherrif(Cong), blore central- mohan(BJP) and rural-HDKumarsamy(JDs)- this is for sure.

Why can't he be an MP? Lot of parties have put up crorepati candidates, why don't you give them this suggestion? will they listen?
A real entrprenuer means who brings a products for mass consumptions with very reasonable price that is what the mantra of Capt Gopinath .No body imagin that an ordinery persons now a days can travell by air so I have great hope about this great person who can do some good job by joining next Gov irrespective of any Gov and Gov gets the benefit of his expertise . I would request Capt to focus next generation development is Rural India Development from where India can generate tremendous wide marketing base with 1 billion people of which nearly 70% people live in Rural India .Rural India is so far neglected last 60 years so I think there are huge scope for IT,Education,Housing ,Roads ,Rural tourism,Rural police force ,power,modern farming .Capt Gopinath can think of such business . I wish him all the success

I advise Sunny to study political science otherwise I find your IQ level is very low .Being an educated people like you should not coment like this .You are an Engineer patronise by none other than your mum so find some business in Rural India .There are plenty of small business you can start in Rural India and see the result

Thanks for your advice. Yes my IQ is pretty low and no prizes for guessing that but enough to state that " Politics in India is good business" it is unheard of that any politician or aspiring politician really and sincerely wants the betterment of the nation. Naw my Mom did not patronize me but chose my profession. Thanks for the suggestion to start up some biz in rural areas.

Well Sunny ,yes politics is a good business to earn money but without backing of a established political parties ,one cannot make politics a career prospect .Capt Gopinath is already an established person in business career and have tremendous clout in all levels .To reach that level one has to really slog .You have just started your career and if you donot like job as a career ,pl start your own business and Rural India is the only option to establish small business .Rural retail segments is good option ,rural tourism is another good option ,rural IT is also good prospect .You can start a IT education school in Rural area .You have to find out your idea .It is not possible to explain details in this forum

Yes Politics is a good buissiness. See! Mayawati declared 52 crore rupees assets during filing the nominations in last state(U.P)elections.In case she would have continued as her previous profession(teacher) she would have taken 20 births to earn that kind of money.So all my Indian Brothers and sisters ,please join politics and become rich,even if you don't stand for elections,vote and earn note.

Pl dont chase money ,money will chase you ,This is the proberb all should know .How money will chase you? do some good job for you to stand on your feet otherwise you will remain man with dump hand .Concentration ,dedication ,application towards your goal is the key to success .Watch out even a ragpeekers who with single minded devotion will pick his or her picks from the roads despite so many commotion in the roads .I think Ragpeekers is the solution to money chasing you matter

think of u sending yr female offsprings sending out & somebody st_pid making such nonsense remarks like u. what do u feel?
firstly, this guy is dividing the vote. secondly, if he wins, he will improve his deccan aviation and certainly will do nothing for comman man. he is a business man, he has lost a lot of money to mallya. Now he has to get back the money. He is smart & chose the best job - politics, where money making is easy & no accountability needed

y do people in this country have such a short memory ? Gopinath joined BJP in 1999 ... at the height of the Rath yatra controversy ... his secualr credentials are greatly suspect ... and now he is talking about communal harmony ... bullshit ... he is only standing because yedurappa doesnt want ananth kumar to win ... and once he wins he will support BJP at the centre ... I hate people like him and that idiot who won the Lead India campaign who are actual supporters of BJP but try and woo young people through all sorts of nonsensical promises that they will never be allowed to carry out under the Sangh Parivar ... all are stooges of VHP and RSS which is essentially a version of indian Taliban

Yes, Gpolinath is dividing the votes and thereby giving a chance to BJP. He is a corporate man and politics is not his cup of tea. He neither eats nor allows others to do so. All in all this willbe afutile exercise. His intention may be alright, but this form does not suit him.
Recently he organised youngster forum in Madavan park where his main agenda were
1)Extention of time for PUB and Nightclub
2)Strict action against Moral policing
i agree moral polcing should be dealt very seriouly but Dont you think there are lot unsolved problems in south bangalore.. i think its big gimmick to gain youngster vote by extending time of pub...
Rome could not have been built in a day. Mr. Narayan Murthy did not create Infosys overnight. Mr. Azim Premji did not reach the pinnacle of success without a great team. A common man can become a crorepati selling stakes by letting the people who depended upon him to suffer and “ground a billion dreams” You cannot eject from the cockpit, when you face storms, risking the passenger’s life. One opportunistic person can ruin the good will created by a million efforts of his team. Nations can’t be ruled on acquisitions and mergers You can never run a country. Like you run a sick airline – where customer is fleeced, flights get cancelled, passengers are stranded, flights are abandoned and still claim to move a billion. A vast country like India, will be rejuvenated only by statesman and not opportunists and shirkers. A professor who is ashamed to identify his growth with the alma meter which gave him the network or a captain who abandons his ship at the slightest storm to hide himself in rich harbors can only ruin the nation further to what the congress has already done. We need dedicated statesman like Atalji and Advani ji to fight every war which the nation faces. A single cuckoo does not make a summer. An independent cannot stem the rot, which congress has created. It needs a mighty team work to erase the wrongs done in the past. At best, a captain can fly kites – but Nation Building is an adults Job.
VOTE FOR SOLIDARITY !!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE FOR THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO BE !!!!!!!
