Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

BJP will need an alliance in AP and TN. AP if YSRCP not agreeable then with Jana Sena and TN with the AIADMK-allied group.

From India Today opinion poll about 50% in WB support NRC, 20% don't know. As I had said before majority of WBengali Hindus are unhappy with illegal immigration and will support NRC.

Modi had two rallies in WB today. Judging from the crowd even BJP may be surprised with WB.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

John, yes that is how poor the people of socialist, secular India is. Those buying one crore apartments are a small minority. check the stats for how many people have income more than 10 lakhs in India and compare it to the overall population. If you add the total tax exemptions it comes to 9850000....

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

arshyam, if you are more than 10 lakhs you are in a very small minority of a few million in a country of 1.3 billion. That is how poor India is. Even then since exemption limit has been increased. It will cover 95% of IT payers but will not affect much if your salary is say 50 lakhs. How many in tha...

It seems likely there will be a BJP-SS alliance in MH after some jostling and BJP making concessions. Next, they should try for an alliance in JH and TN.

Ram mandir bench reconstituted. Now we have two opposed Chandrachur and Abdul Nazeer. Other three not known on which side they are. I think it will ultimately need legislation. Should be done along with Mathura and Kashi.

Republic TV - C-voter poll NDA 233 Significant points. They are giving 51 seats to MGB in UP with just 1% diff in vote share which will be within margin of error. Some hard work by Modi-Shah and RSS and Shivpal could tilt the balance. MH needs SS alliance even if you have to give them more seats tha...

Modi is silently doing another job. Breaking the Nehru-Gandhi monopoly on the tourist circuit narrative. When I visited Delhi first time on a tour we were taken to mostly Nehru-Gandhi memorials and Mughal stuff with some Gandhi thrown in. Today he opened several memorials in Red Fort, a tourist hots...

These are Lutyens elements belonging to the Advani camp who ran NDA1 like C-system. First, they did not like that Modi took over as candidate from Advani in 2014 and despite Advani opposition. They thought like C-system they will get perks and priviledges once Modi won 2014. They are unable to adjus...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

Dubeyji, one good thing about WB is that there is no caste politics and no caste vote bank. Bengali Hindus are divided between what we call seku-maku (secular and marxists) and non-seku-maku. The non-seku-maku are now the majority although they fell under the sway of leftists for close to 40 years. ...

Looks like it is going to be a low key campaign in 2019. Mostly Modi rallies and getting the vote out. Not much media blitz.
