Re: Lok Sabha Elections 2024 - World's largest elections - Desh Ka Garv [World's envy]

MH watchers, agree/disagree with RT possibly joining the NDA? He wants my seat, Mumbai South, to contest.
If part of the NDA, he will win the seat, he is proposing Bala Nandgaonkar's candidature.

Re: Road to the 2024 Elections in India-1

The outlook for BJP in Maharashtra is not at all smooth sailing. I truly expect it to get less seats than before even with the alliance. The Maratha agitation has now taken a nasty personal turn with casteist slurs being hurled at Devendra Fadnavis. One of Jarange Patils followers even threatened t...

FYI - go check out Uddhav Thakre's twitter feed. Looks like he really wants to reconcile with the NDA. Hope Modi and Shah teach them a lesson and refuse to take him back. He will be reduced to 2-3 seats after the LS elections.

Re: Road to the 2024 Elections in India-1

Any RoP vote splintering helps BJP, but any additional to the congress may not be of much help. It can only help them against non BJP regional parties (that are anti-BJP anyways and in the opposition camp). There is a bigger game Chetak sir, and it would pay to figure out that.
