Actually, voters like leaders who can brazen out their decisions, as these people are seen as strong willed. Withdrawing the right step quickly just because RG gave it a spin shows poorly on Modi and voters will see it as chickening out Not really. In India, voters vote for their veto power. And it...

The lateral entry for government jobs, and the RaGa reaction against it & privatization, is exactly why development is a double edged. I hope government realizes it, and that’s why it under-performed in 2024 elections. Development brings fair competition, small businesses, skill based approach, ...

BJP also needs to ask itself. How many seats it lost as a result vote split to BSP. All that the BJP needs to do is get back to its roots and to re establish the connect it seems to have lost with its core grass roots savvy supporters Reduce imports, especially the shady guys from other parties and...

We have to understand, BJP no longer enjoys the overwhelming support among middle class people. Last two years, most of the criticism was swept under rug cuz they had numbers. By hook or by crook, Cong+ punctured that bubble now. It's no longer core supporters that are being angry with BJP. It's no...

BJP did give the first actual Dalit & ST for India president, and various record numbers of allocations within SC/ST/OBC. Yet, they lost their votes in some constituencies, and ironic, development could be one reason. New development brings competition, and changes the status quo, brings jealous...

With hindsight, why did Congress/UPA lose 2019 elections then? After all, 2024 & 2019 was fought on the same lines, 1Lakh wages, freebies, Modi is corrupt, Modi will end reservation. The opposition actually had a better-defined campaign in 2019. Yet,few takers back in 2019, so what has changed ...

Wrong. BJP/NDA won, it was a simple win, not a outstanding one. Lets appreciate and be comfortable with imperfect results, imperfect leaders despite pathetic voters turnout.

%age votes polled by BJP are higher than in the previous election BJP also contested more seats. BJP definitely under-performed. Interestingly, many rants about Modi/BJP. But what about vice versa, surely Modi must many problems with us, his own voters? We let him down, and shown we can't be trusted.

Inclusivity has to start at voting day! That should be first goal of Modi 3.0. Voter turnout got to increase. Be it at malls, ac polling booths, ballet polls, online voting. Challenges like internal sabotage, external interference are there, yet it has to be done foremost. Put pressure where Jitni a...

1) BJP & Supporters have good presence on Twitter. This started pre-2014 itself. But not so much in Instagram, YouTube etc. They need to amp up the game. They dont have to do it themselves, but provide ideological, monetary & other forms of institutional support to citizens who want to beco...

Covid can be the big factor between 2019, and 2024. Rahul Gandhi 72000 minimum wage failed in 2019, yet the 1L to women could appear differently in 2024 now. Covid has undoubtedly caused much pessimistic, lethargy and that is still reflected today across all sectors. BJP probably also knows this, an...

It should not be limited to just parliament. All highly sensitive places got to rechecked, and training done professionally.

Its hardly about a panic or them being scared by BJP. These DMK are habitually spewers and thus, its not a new thing, and lets not forget their past. The only difference is now they are one combined opposition alliance, and thus national media are actually covering them. And then their leaders are f...

Potentially allies like Manjhi of Ham party or Om Rajbhar have made interesting comments on Lord Ram itself. So it pointless to debate about Hindu people or Hinduphobia. BJP have both allies and hindu name members within who are not even really practising Hindus by any means. Similarly, there are op...

I've looked at the numbers in some detail. There are structural problems with the BJP which are evident in the last 3 state elections (Guj, HP and Karnataka). It has little to do with Hindu vote consolidation. In every single State election since 2014, the BJP's vote share is less than the previous...

Imo, our people vote on how bad the party is, rather than good of party. There was nothing against, nor questions on local Congress and their 2 big state leaders, and thus the environment favored them. Whereas, lots of questions, negativity about state BJP. It's the fault of local BJP for doing noth...

Impeding genocide, and the now impeding doom, that's always been the opposition propaganda, so let's not fell into that trap and over-react.

In 2018, many seats with <5000 margin was won by BJP, which made the difference. So 1% swing can matter in a close election. Then, BJP struggles in urban city of Bengaluru, that region has been managed badly, together with just 50% turnout there and it's this region that potentially hurt BJP? Next, ...

Most are predicting Congress as either SLP, or simple majority. So that was the expected outcome for many months, a bit like Rajasthan 2018. Strong anti-incumbency, internal rebellion, weak CM, just that the Modi factor helped to reduce the gap, but not enough to overcome.

In some irony, this non-binary movement is actually making the thinking "binary". This thinking process of either good or bad, either happy or sad. There is no middle ground, or tolerance when things are not going your way. There is high and low extremes, and are very prone to mood swings....

Seems there is overconfidence on BJP numbers. That can be dangerous as make voters complacent. Ultimately, BJP voters need that do or die mindset, else turnout gets lower and that affects results. A small swing is all it takes. We already saw that in 2019 MH state elections, where what should have b...

My bacha analysis or whatever feedback with my circle of people is about, pro BJP ppl actually turning out to vote will decide it all. It could be complacency, or it could sheer oversmartness.

Uddhav has completely lost it, and now no chance of return back? How did Uddhav become a lost cause? Our history is filled with many selfish and traitorous acts.

When Muslims can embrace Shiv Sena/Uddhav, it clear politics is about short term goals and oxymorons. Mulayam being awarded has to be seen on similar lines, which is a good move by BJP. It is completely wrong to fight about “purity” when the other side is full of oxymorons and contradictions. Winnin...

Any big wishlist is amateurish. There are century old problems, and so to expect Modi/BJP to resolve them is foolish. Not everything can be done by government, it's always and more importantly about the people. Our own mentality has to change, like can we think of being job creators, not just job se...

Swamy is driven by self-importance, and that leads to jealousy, and infighting. Its’s a big problem within the dharmic side of personal importance.

Talks about JDU merger with RJD. It seems inevitable, but what's the plan of Nitish? He really thinks himself as the compromise opposition candidate for 2024?

You don't poke a bear and expect a result less than referendum/annexation. Ukr treated the Russian people in the eastern sector of Ukr very badly and reneged on their commitments.

I guess the lack of scrutiny, is the big reason to go with "secular" side. Earlier, Nitish facing questions from within party, the media, and now this new alliance calms the water. Economics, social development are on backseat, as the communal/secular buzzwords are the only narrative. It a...

Rajiv Malhotra is right. His biggest criticism is about the Hindu people despite his large scale work about the other side. There is no will to do, but complaints, and advises.

Is it a immediate political suicide by BJP? Or perhaps BJP doesn't want to face the heat in Maharashtra in short run?
