What I do feel will happen is #NotMyGovernment or #StoleElection kind of *uncivil* society kind of movement and a major media onslaught primarily in the foreign media to de-legitimize the Modi government. Anyone remembers the *Million Women march" or some such thing in DC when the Orange-head was elected?

Long-shot street *revolution* or subversive activity cannot be ruled out but Indians in general are not a very revolutionary bunch.

while we are at it lets throw in Russian meddling as well

NO. The PM is indeed a spiritual man and always has been.

Not sure if this has been posted before. Eye opening talk on the real Yogi Adityanath, even for someone like me who believes that Yogi ji has been vilified by the English media.

Deans ji, that was a good one to watch. The last anecdote also took me by surprise. Perceptions that are created by MSM, stay with us subliminal. I wasn' t aware of the number of institutions that the Yogiji ran, though I was aware the Yogiji became an MP the first time at 26.

His comparison on the four parameters was an eye opener. This ranking should be made publicly available on an index for the general consumption. I wonder if it is already done.

The four points are: Attendance (High), Questions (303), Discussions/Debates & Private Member Bill (3)

The numbers in brackets are with reference to the Yogiji's time period in 2014-2017 in the Namo-I government.

Edit: 303 number is significant as pointed out in the YT vid, as the Yogiji is asking questions of His own Govt.

Yogi has been vilified not only by MSM but also by some RW Tweeple who feels he isn't sophisticated enough. The law and order situation in Bulandshahr-Meerut belt (which is infamous for highway robbery, rape, riots etc) has improved a lot . Most of the UP based criminals are now operating in Delhi & Rajasthan since Yogi has driven them out with the encounter threat. MSM has made even a old fart like Pappu a youth icon if not for SM he would have flourished like his criminal father.

What’s interesting is the handful of channels Oz has, leftist media (they all are here ), opinion polls and the legal satta bazaar all predicted an ALP (Labor) win. The Coalition’s bombshell triumph comes after repeated polls placed the ALP ahead of the Morrison Government, and the Prime Minister’s demise appeared assured. An analysis of odds offered by Ladbrokes, Sportsbet and TAB reveals punters believe Mr Shorten is well on his way to winning government, installing Labor as short-priced favourites in 59 of the nation's 151 electorates.
The elites got it wrong. The people got it right. The American media got it wrong with Trump, the Indian and western media got it wrong with NaMo and now the Aussie leftist elites got to wrong.

In defence of Bookie-stan (not the leftist/MSS twits): read what they said: they got it right, those who interpreted them got it wrong.

installing Labor as short-priced favourites in 59 of the nation's 151 electorates.

Labor actually won 66. Is it THEIR fault that the other side won 76, hain?

Likewise, satta bazaare is reasonably sure that Maha RaGaddha-Bandhan will win 40 seats. It's the other 505 that are in doubt.

BJP can never be 'Modi or Shah's party': Nitin Gadkari. "BJP neither became Atal or Advaniji's party in the past, nor it can ever be only Amit Shah or Narendra Modi's party," he said in an interview to at his residence here.

Stressing "BJP is a party based on ideology," Gadkari said it is wrong to say that "BJP has become Modi-centric."

He, however, said the BJP and Prime Minister Modi are "complementary to each other."

BJP didn't scrap Article 370 because of sensitive situation: Nitin Gadkari.

"Our party has been committed to abrogating Article 370 for long. But because of the sensitive situation there (J&K), we aren't doing it. We were in power with full majority this time, still we are not going to implement it. However, as far as the party's philosophy, policy and approach to it (Article 370) is concerned, we are firm on it," the minister said, according to the transcript of the interview.

Just wondering, but does whatever US think tank for which Sadanand Dhume is a mouthpiece actually pay this clown to hang around in India and DDM to mouth his sanctimonious BS along with the like of other frauds like Yogendra Yadav. He must be a very useful idiot to further their goals.

I used to know this Chutiya when I was in NY and at that time, he was a graduating student and appeared to think like the rest of us on BR. But the leopard has since changed his colors and become a libtard and Uncle Tom along the lines of most Indians in US who are given prominence. I am sick and tired of his cacophony on ModiJi, demo, YogiJi, Sadhvi etc. And like all the other Khan market ass holes, one of his pet gripes is ModiJi not taking questions from media and only doing ‘scripted’ interviews. I think ModiJi has done 20+ interviews, and I wonder which of them is scripted? I know there was one which had some questions sketched on it, and all his haters have latched on to that. But most did involve tough questions and follow ups. Has Pappu done any tough interviews?

370 got it's own loopholes. Temporary and special provisions can be taken out. Just like they did to 371s without needing to calling out abrogation.

They may be keeping it to keep KMs in humor feeling independant against Pakis.

CRamS,

He’s married to Alyssa Ayres, senior fellow at the CFR in DC. A south Asia “expert”. Thankfully Orange-uran doesn’t give a hoot about such people and is into real power politics.

No. The BJP will lose votes if they don’t repeal 370, 35A, UCC and Ram Mandir. Along with vikas for all.

williams · Post by **williams** » 19 May 2019 05:44

So to repeal 370 you need a two-thirds majority in one of the houses and more than 50% of the states need to ratify it.

Problem is that while the procedure is going on anti-national elements might instill rioting and Pakis may wake up many sleeper cells. If the new govt can stomach that, then it can be done. But the whole thing can derail other important legislation for some time and I am not sure how much it will affect Vikash. On the other hand, BJP may not get a third term if they don't it in the second term. It is going to be a tough term for Modi this time.

Suresh S · Post by **Suresh S** » 19 May 2019 06:29

Agree with above posts that 370, 35A and Ram Mandir will be and must be done in next 5 yrs and in 2024 these will be of historic interest.

Below is the story of opinion presstitutes like Dhume & his ilk like Rupa Subramanya etc

Truth is, lot of people started supporting @narendramodi in 2014 in the hope that he will return the favour. One thing I have seen for sure in him is if anyone thinks they have done him a favour , the person will return empty handed. That’s why such a huge list of people turning

If this dude has a problem, why leak it out to the rags? And why should "minority decisions" as he calls it be recorded? Its not a judgement from a bench of judges! Also, its not his 'decision', only his opinion. The decision is reflected in the final order of the EC.

Expect the Goons to conflagrate this issue after 23 May and go in for litigation to challenge the PM's election itself. Also expect lots of negative write-ups in the international press ghost-written by our journos. If I recall correctly, Indira Jaisingh / others had hinted at this line of attack some time back.

Yes, that is the most likely plan of attack. Try to discredit Modi's win as much as possible. The following rags have all been activated so far, Economist, NYT, WaPo (they are now pushing the Hindu Muslim angle hard), New Yorker, Atlantic, NPR, BBC, Telegraph and Spectator.

Our mentally colonized good for nothing Gunga dins are leading the charge. Much as expected.

And here it is:
https://indianexpress.com/elections/lav ... o-5735520/

The Election Commission (EC) has decided to revisit its clean chit to the NITI Aayog and Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) over an alleged violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC), at Election Commissioner Ashok Lavasa’s insistence.

Last week, the poll panel had disposed of a Congress complaint alleging misuse of the NITI Aayog by the PMO for gathering information on Gondia, Wardha and Latur ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s election rallies there.
Speaking at a press conference on May 12, Deputy Election Commissioner Sandeep Saxena had informed journalists that the EC had found no merit in the complaint as the PM, by virtue of an instruction issued on October 7, 2014, is permitted to combine his official and electioneering visits.
