Voted! My polling booth is in the toniest part of Gurgaon and it was heartening to see all the beautiful people with their Prada and Gucci standing in line patiently, air kissing each other and waiting for their turn to come up. Just a cursory look at the voter assistance stalls put outside the voting center by all the parties was indicative of the trend. AAP reps were swatting flies, while BJP kiosk had people spilling over. A small trickle at the congress kiosk as well.

Of-course by the time voting ends TimesNow will have shifted its position inline with the data or perhaps by then they will have cooked up another reason for high turnout.

How blatantly partisan can TimesNow get? Instead of reporting news they are trying to manufacture news.

Article from 2009

Nilgiris remains an outsider constituency-Voters in the plains outnumber those on the hills

he Nilgiris constituency sprawls across four districts. While three of its Assembly segments Udhagamandalam, Coonoor and Gudalur (SC) are in the hills (Nilgiris district), Bhavanisagar (SC) is in Erode, Mettupalayam is in Coimbatore and Avinashi (SC) is part of the newly formed Tirupur district. After the delimitation, the Nilgiris constituency has lost its essential character: it no longer is a majority hill people constituency. The voters in the plains outnumber those in the hills. Because people straddle different worlds, the voting pattern cannot be expected to be same throughout the constituency.

The Badagas, the largest single group account for roughly 22 per cent of the total votes, the SCs form about 12 per cent and STs around 2.5 per cent. The Sri Lankan Tamils account for about eight per cent. The three constituencies in plains are dominated by Vellalar Gounders and Arundathiyars.

While a longstanding demand of the Badagas is that they should be included in the ST list, other poll issues include opening defunct industries in the region, providing adequate water schemes, creating more employment opportunities and making the hill station a global vacation destination.

The Badaga community, though not a single entity, has largely been with the Congress in the past elections. They are not Tamil, and speak the language out of need and hence, have no great affinity for the Dravidian parties. They are also not too comfortable with the narrow concerns of the other parties that sometimes led to unpleasantness with the neighbouring States, be it over water sharing or ‘job stealing’: the spillover of violence has meant loss of lives and livelihood in The Nilgiris. Some in the community also see the plantation Tamils as people who took away jobs that essentially were theirs. But both communities have come to like the DMK for different reasons. Finally, the Badagas have representation in the State Cabinet: an event to celebrate over which a thousand Badagas landed up in Chennai and thanked the DMK president and Chief Minister M.Karunanidhi. Khadi Minister Ramachandran hails from the community.

Long relationship
Plantation Tamils’ relationship with the DMK is very long. TANTEA was created for them: the Karunanidhi-led government would not have ventured into tea production but for the need to employ the plantation Tamils who were repatriated from Sri Lanka. Again, it was Mr.Karunanidhi who hiked the daily wage to Rs.113.And, tea prices have been looking up. From an abysmal Rs.8 a kg, it has risen to now hover around Rs.15, evidently because of problems in Kenya and elsewhere. The plains present a different picture: Mettupalayam, Avinashi and Bhavanisagar Assembly constituencies are so distinctly different in character that it is difficult to imagine them as part of the same constituency.

It seems to me a scandal that the Nilgiris is a reserved constituencies(SC) when at time of state reorganisation the district had substantial badaga population.

Modi has now understood that going easy on Mamata is not very helpful for her. By attacking her, she will get even more Muslim votes, and at the same time, more Hindu votes would come the BJP way.

Net effect: CPI-M and Congress would lose more votes.

Interesting title for the article : "The LOTUS that got sold to the LEAF (btw 2-Leaves is ADMK's symbol). JJ's check for RAJA." .

This explains why even the back-up BJP's candidate's application form also got rejected at Niligiris while the back-up PMK candidate's application in Chidambaram LS seat got accepted. ADMK seems to have completely removed NDA from the equation in Nilgiris and Pro-BJP voters (if they come out to vote) will have to vote for a party that has nearest affinity to BJP and that would be ADMK. Wonder how the BJP+DMDK+MDMK+PMK cadres in Nilgiris are going to react. I am not hearing any noise from the local party workers. Have they also been bought out by JJ <OR> will they will adopt an independent candidate & campaign for him on behalf of NDA <OR> worse ask their people to instead vote for DMK's A.Raja. A.Raja can still make these other guys (MDMK + DMDK + PMK) to swing NDA votes into his favour.

In TN - Many BJP voters are forced to vote for ADMK in the Assembly elections & LS elections ... with their aim being to not allow the DMK or INC to win the seat. This is not tactical voting per se but the unfortunate situation brought about by a weak or even non-existent cadre base of the BJP in TN (but for some specific regions). Now with MODI standing for PM - many of those BJP supporters who used to vote for ADMK would be thinking more & more of voting for BJP. I guess voting for BJP in many constituencies of TN (again but for a few specific ones) is only going to reduce ADMK's vote share and end up helping DMK.

Even in most parts of Chennai - while the BJP cadre base is existent it is very low in numbers ... because conscientious Hindus who like BJP, tend to go about looking at their own life issues rather than jump into building the cadre base for the party. These people often end up voting for ADMK. I have been analysing & keeping abreast of situation and on election day i need to travel to my home place. Currently - I am thinking of voting for ADMK because the BJP's campaign in South Chennai is almost invisible as per my Friends & relatives while the ADMK is campaigning aggressively and out-of-power DMK's campaign - while visible is less exuberant than ADMK.

I don't know what the problem is. It worked flawlessly for me, as an international subscriber. I cannot speak for domestic folks. Steps:

Go to 'Subscriptions'
Pick your choice. Mine was international $10 .
It asks you to create a username, email, password, password confirmation
DON'T complete the above until you have set up a paypal account . I already had one. I logged into it from another tab and confirmed my CC information.
Once you've confirmed payment on paypal, click ok to register your information. It will take you to the page where you get to accept $10 payment through paypal. By that time you'll get an email saying your username/password has been registered.
Make the payment. Once you see payment confirmation, your account is active. In my case, it was active as soon as I clicked 'pay' and then tried to access content.
