the ultra rich in US managed to do that by creating tea-party and pull regular republicans and democrats to the right, and held a primary threat and a veto in house. there are a lot of things that needs to happen to get that sort of thing - lots of funds, media machinery etc, organization and a pan-...

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

Why is chinmayanand being engaged over here? Kick him out. I would suggest to not respond to posts/posters like that. You cannot convert people like that. And you are allowing yourself to get disturbed and disrupt flow of the thread. can't just ban people for not liking modi and criticizing it (fai...

The good thing with modi shah is they learn and adapt quickly. And they fight and give it their all. The supporters need to do that instead of moping around or engaging in told you so point scoring.

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

have to check vote tallies as well, not just seats. vote tallies matter more for LS calculations due to makeup of electorate. overall, this is disappointing for sure, but not a drubbing. vote percentages are neck to neck as well. and more annoying than the results are the amount of folks pushing the...

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

Muns- the modi operandi has been to use other ministers until the point where Modi has to speak during campaign trail. His response depends on the traction of issue and timing in campaign calendar.

can't go against SC judgment without having a viable alternative.

if viable alternative is state ordinance, a la JK in TN..then it needs political strategizing ..can't open mouth just like that..

Before posting some crap from Ecosystem and asking “is this true” , please check if the full video or direct transcript.

Once you cross some lines...then it becomes an addiction In TN , singer chinmayi has accused lyricist vairamuthu of groping. I believe her.

Re: Nukkad

social and cultural nukkad stuff is subsumed into political thread...

what to do..some thread discipline on behalf of poster is needed.

if we get a lot of traffic and posts, we can look to enforce discipline, but at this low volume it does not make sense.

MGB is not that easy for opposition. Seat sharing is going to create issues. Leader may give up some constituency to ally but the local guy can stand independent and split votes.

GST council runs GST decisions. Not Modi.

BJP is handling petrol issue as it should be handled.

no reason to waste revenues now and make a hole in the budget.

rupee and oil are going to be under pressure ...

the only backstop is at around $80 barrel, US fracking becomes profitable and that supply will dampen the prices.
