Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )
I can't believe that PV Narasimha Rao has not been awarded the Bharat Ratna. Dr. Nambi Narayanan (Padma Bhushan) was arrested and tortured under Narasimha Rao's watch, and his brilliant career ruined. So if the former is being honored this year, I don't think it is appropriate to honor Rao since th...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )
In line of what some people have already said here, we are our own worst enemy. We've been doing a poll on some of our Facebook groups as well. Our vote for Modi group on Facebook has over six lakh members while the India Aware official news group poll has over a lakh of their as well. On both grou...

^^No great surprises in the opinion polls. See my previous post with the Wikipedia links to track all the opinion polls in one location: https://bharatganrajya.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=122&p=16470#p16470 At the same time 5 years ago (Jan 2014), opinion polls gave the NDA 211-231.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )
Of course, not to take away credit from Modi's work as CM.. that helped too, because GJ was/is much better governed for years before Modi's ascension. People expected magic in 5 years. IMHO, Modi did do magic. Absolutely he did. He turned around the empty government treasury and filled it up by rec...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )
No Cong-TDP alliance in AP. Probably better for TDP. An alliance with congress would only repel votes for TDP just like it did for congress in Telangana. Things have gone seriously south for "Chandranna" from the moment he walked out of the NDA. It seems like he didn't learn a lesson from 2004 or 2...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )
Why hasn't Shatru Singha been expelled from the party? I think the best punishment for this overrated "macho guy" is to be completely ignored (as he is being now) and just not being given a ticket for LS 2019. Just let his shelf life expire. He and the likes of "the other Sinha" and Arun Sourpuss a...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )
Discontent in the population which is also getting reflected in the TMC as leaders have started jumping parties. Why should a sitting TMC MP join BJP if things were easy for Mamata? Why block BJP's rathyatra if you are so sure. Plus ground report from minor Bengali media and discussions with relati...

Guys, forget all the economic indicators and such, but what worries me more about BJP at the moment is the health of stalwarts.

Agreed, but after may. We don't want any sympathy for the goons. People, especially farmers need to experience the lack of promised freebies.. I'm happy to see them punished by their stupidity (disclaimer, I'm a kannadiga) Moreover, Teddi is just as much a crook as everyone else. He needs to be rep...

KL Dubey ji, with all humbleness Raja Bhai is out and out 'Rajput' leader, with influence in Pratapgarh, UP. He can only hurt BJP.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )
I disagree. A BJP goremint will be more stable than the fake JDS-INC goremint. Governance is at a standstill. The people of KA did not vote for this joke of a goremint. At the minimum a new election should be forced. This will not have any bearing on the LS elections. If anything, it might benefit t...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )
Things seem to be hotting up again in KA. - 2 MLAs (one Independent and one KPJP) have withdrawn support to the sham goremint of JDS-INC. - BJP's 104 MLAs have been moved to far-away Gurugram. That is a big step, so something real must be happening. - It is speculated that a handful of Congis are re...

^^Whether it "ends" or not cannot be foretold, but what is certain is that Bharat (not "India") will be hugely set back within our lifetimes if the UPA or other "seculars" come back.

^^I believe Shivapalan has already decided to contest, the question is whether he will tie up with Congis or not. Either way he will play a spoilsport. The other character is "Raja Bhaiya", who has floated his own party and is hostile to the BSP and SP. Given his SP origin he might pull some votes a...

Like I said, this election is inevitably becoming a "Modi or No Modi" binary choice for the electorate.
