My result was very very poor.
I'm sincerely sorry for you at a personal level, but equally delighted at a political level. Thank you for understanding.

Right...that's really important to know in this case! :P

I hope the "other" Rahul of the Gujarat election (our very own Mehtaji) managed to get his deposit back.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017

Alright folks, i am sitting in Al-Qaerala today and feeling very happy about the results. As I mentioned before, my take is this: the Congis must have thought the pre-election atmosphere to be the perfect storm...GST, notebandi, patel unrest, blah blah. Now even after plugging away at all this, if y...

PS: Not to paint every one with the same brush.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017

BJP has been in power in Gujarat for 22 years. Regardless of how well they performed the anti-incumbency factor will be huge after such a long time. It is a testament to how low the credibility of the Congress has fallen in the state that they aren't runaway favorites to win, especially now that th...

Yogiji's (superficial) bold act is ensuring that .

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017

This election is the closest the Congis will ever get to even smelling a whiff of "victory" (which nowadays for the Congis means "not being entirely thrashed") in GJ. Even if we assume that some voters are annoyed this time by demonetization, GST, and rough transition of CM from NaMo to other folks,...

He has the same approach to Hindutva too. Except that it is less visible or there are far too many action items to cover that it appears no action is being taken. I am confident, given two more terms, he will take Hindutva to a point where there is no turning back. UCC too is part of Hindutva. 100%...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017

Putting all this together, I will say BJP will win with a small majority: 120+ seats or so. But even that will be spun by Pappu's slaves as a massive 'victory' for Pappu in ModiJi's own den. 120+ is not a "small" majority. The majority mark is 92 in a house of 182, and currently BJP has 120 seats w...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017

I dont understand all the angst about aadhaar. It is like a social security number (SSN) in the US. Without an SSN there is very little you can do except live under the radar like the illegal Mexicans do. Bringing India into the modern age is difficult as it is.....the least that educated people can...

NaMo's speech at the "million man rally" in Gujarat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-Xmi1Wn11k A real cracker of a speech. Total confidence and aggression. Gotta hand it to this "narendra".
