Demonitization has ensured that bjp will lose all elections from 2017 to 2019. It is an unmitigated and unparalleled disaster. This is the end of the Modi era.

ashkrishna

Amit Shah has been given charge of UP for 2014. Shows which way the wind is blowing. This is Modi's man.

All this talk of EVM magic is funny. I personally worked with about 100 booth level committees for the BJP this election. 40 is what they were expecting. Unlike Keshubai Patel's case the cadre were split down the middle. BJP cannot win with cadre smashing each other. No chance. This is an open and s...

Just pulling up some data on the AP elections (parl.) in 2009. These are constituencies where the TDP came second. I am comparing margins with 2004.

Can some AP gurus tell me how the PRP's Merger with INC will affect the outcome here?

ashkrishna

Congress is getting decimated in Tamil Nadu (-8) Will lose seats in kerala (-2) Will lose in AP (-10) Will lose seats in Punjab (-3) Will lose seats in UK (-2) will lose seats in Rajasthan (-10) Maha (-3) easy. that is -40 already and this is a tentative estimate. so we have 160 for the congress, no...

Many projections put BJP in Karnataka at 35-50 seats. Serious blow.

I think Ktaka is going to throw an interesting outcome. One more month to go.

An interesting outcome, with the BJP among the losers. Still NM must campaign.

ashkrishna

Now that NM has been elevated to the national stage, he must not shy away from the k'taka campaign. It doesn't matter if he loses.

Modi from UP will be terribly interesting

ashkrishna

Cong has 206. It will lose 8 in TN quite easily. Around 15 in AP. That approx 23 already gone. UP, I am not too sure. It has 20+ now, how much will get this time? Any guesses?

ashkrishna

@Hari Seldon - That may not be possible. There is real pressure from the D4 to dilute NM's appointment with someone else like Sivraj or Raman Singh.

Here's some insider info. I believe it has some legitimacy, but I don't expect others to do the same. Anyway, here goes: 1. Modi will be inducted into the parliamentary committee by this weekend. 2. It is likely that he will be the sole inductee. 3. Modi will most likely contest from UP. Some whispe...

@Varunkumar That is painting with a very broad brush. The BJP performs below par most of the time because of its own silliness, not because of the somnolent Hindu. I am talking about the BJP because, as of today it is the only party which has a remotely pro-hindu agenda. Look at 2014, they can win 1...

Let us continue to focus on election related issues. I didnot mean to initiate a tangential discussion on the "Hindu Mindset" or perceived servility.

ashkrishna

There are indications that the BJP will score more than the congress. I suspect something like 150-130 in favor of the BJP, but that means UPA3. As of today, UPA 3 is a distinct reality. The vote share of the BJP will increase, but this is likely to be the result of further consolidation in "sa...

even if Modi contests for PM in 2014. I don't know how he'll get the numbers.

What a glorious fall from the rhetoric of "Aar paar ki ladayi" to the empty rejoicing at the long overdue death of a petty Islamic gangster!

What has the Indian state done to effectively project its might and influence in Cashmere?

TREK BEGINS It will be wrong to assume that Mr Modi is unaware of the simple truism that Delhi is not India or Bharat, neither are the relatively affluent young men and women of a Delhi college representative of the Indian people. Till the day before, the nincompoops were saying Gujarat is not Indi...

There is persistent rhetoric from the lefties regarding Gujarat's HDI and the malnutrition situation there. What is the actual situation there, any statistics that other BRFites have?

"Iman, Taqwa, Jihad fi sabal allah" - Obedience, fear and Jihad in the name of Allah. That was the creation of the greatest military-mullah Zia-ul-Haq.

It is atrocious to suggest any elected politician has rights to seek revenge and abuse powers to seek personal fortune, and exploit and threaten people. Period. Supporting such actions is incongruent to all the bashan people give on the floors of BRF, and have no grounds to question the abuse of po...

I think this is a Congi + DMK game to defame JJ. Even if she allows KH movie, they will instigate some riot thus making a mess for her. Remember someone threw a petrol bomb already on a theater.

My friend, all three recent polls that came out are pure urban india centric surveys. NDA won the rural areas in 2004 and 2009. The urban areas have been the problematic ones putting UPA into power. Any numbers to support that claim? If the NDA won rural areas in 2009, its seat tally would have bee...

@somnathji: I dont agree with the author on multiple fronts, but I do find his idea of a dormant "pragmatic-realist nuclear lobby" interesting. Here are two parliamentary exchanges that I am quoting from the book... KRISHNAMURTHY RAO vs JLN on the Atomic Energy bill (1948) Rao: May I know ...

@sanku : I havent finished the entire book, but, here are a few points: 1) The Indian nuclear program though (initially) admittedly civilian in nature with the setting up of the AEC, was nonetheless shrouded in secrecy.
