How competent are BJP Lok Sabha Candidates for 2014 Elections?

Recently a friend of mine shared a link , which showed how Aam Aadmi Party candidates are really competent for fighting this year's Lok Sabha Election. As I have been a Narendra Modi supporter, more so after Arvind Kejriwal's 49 day stint at Delhi, I decided to write a similar blog for Bhartiya Janta Party candidates.

I won't touch the likes of Sushma Swaraj (Vidisha, MP), Arun Jaitley (Amritsar), Rajnath Singh(Lucknow), Maneka Gandhi (Pilibhit), Varun Gandhi(Sultanpur), Shatrugan Sinha (Patna Sahib), Dr. Harshvardhan (Chandi Chowk), Hema Malini (Mathura) as people are already familiar with these faces.

The face of National Democratic Alliance has made sure that he crosses every hurdle thrown by the ruling party without a scratch.
