She will win. Non-NDA parties will find it easy to justify voting for her. They do not want to vote against an ST female.

I do not see how Naveen babu can oppose her. :)

This shows the master strategy of BJP. Opposition parties were running all over the place throwing names without seeing any strategic points for their selections. BJP calmly waited and did what they do best. 8)

now that Draupadi Murmu is the NDA's choice for President of India, this yashwanth sinha shyte should step aside willingly to facilitate an unanimous choice to preserve his own dignity.

naveen babu would have voted for an ostrich, if the BJP had put it up as its candidate.

he loves his peace and prefers to protect his flanks, as do jagan and a few others who prefer the BJP's छत्रछाया to the harsh sunshine of the real world. They don't ask for any special treatment and nor would they get it even if they did.

naveen and jagan, both know हाज़िरी कहाँ लगानी है in dilli

They all know which side of their bread is buttered and they also don't cause grief to the center

anyway, with his eyes firmly set on the छत्रछाया, naveen has welcomed her candidature.

Eknath Shinde has clearly seen the writing on the wall for him and has jumped ship. Shinde is the senior most leader of Sena, once the old guard was sidelined. Shinde is one of the old time hard core Shiv Sainiks - he was a follower of Anand Dighe, one of the biggest leaders Shiv Sena has produced. At his time, his popularity and support was eclipsing even that of Bal Thackrey… There were rumours that Dighe had an attempt on his life at BTs behest but I don’t believe it… BT seemed to have made up with him. But I digress… Point is Shinde is old school Sena with whatever original values it was founded with. He is trying to get out because:
  • While he is extremely strong in Thane proper and surrounding areas, he has his ears close to the ground. He knows come the next election SS has no chance
  • He has no love for the likes of Raut who is a fool with no popular appeal nor organisational capacity. Rauts outsized influence on SS grates on him no doubt
  • Shinde knows he has no chance to be a CM ever and he accepts that but his son is a different story. The penguin will inherit and there go Shinde Jr chances
  • To a small extent Shinde can never stomach tying up with Congress..
He seems to have support of around 20 MLAs. How long they remain with him is anybody’s guess. The longer this drags on the worse it is for Shinde as chances of the rebels going back increases.

UT right now is totally clueless and is being advised by idiots like Raut, one of the most opportunistic characters on this planet. It won’t end well for SS. The only winner here is the Powerful party

Long ago after the 2019 elections itself when Raut started mouthing off some people kept saying that Raut was a Pawarful Trojan horse whose short term aim was breaking SS away from BJP but the long term one was always the destruction of SS. He achieved his short term aim very quickly. May he achieve the long term one as well if indeed that is the case.

So, what changed between the end of 2019 and 2021? I can think of only one major change - the rise of the Biden sarkar. So, after the rise of Biden sarkar, Modi government has decided, for whatever reasons, that they should appease the enemies of Hindutva.
You are dead wrong on this.

I can confirm from reliable second hand (cousins) from South India who are formal BJP functionaries. Annamalai will deliver ~30% of BJP MLAs in TN assembly.

Rsatchi ji,

banditji had no worthwhile opposition, and betiji had huge political testimonials.

Both of which are apparently lacking in the present setup, obsessed as they are with the "लोग क्या कहेंगे" syndrome, in spite of their 303 calibre

The Congress has been creating a hubbub with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioning Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case. Contrast this with the situation years ago when Narendra Modi was questioned by an SIT and Amit Shah was arrested.

SS is in common usage here.. why change it for perceived foreign 'sensibilities'. If we go down that route we should also give up referring to the swastika. And that was the white shits slimy way of hiding the origin of the hakenkreuz - the hooked cross

One has often wondered if the term "house nigger" is used in India whose sensibilities are hurt. India has never had "niggers", it is merely a turn of phrase. offensive though it may well be in some ameriki context.

In a purely Indian context, SS (nazi), etc is a woke and manufactured construct. The nazis have no relevance in India, and that is a historic reality.

More to the point, no jew has ever been persecuted in India because of his religion or beliefs.

why would we needlessly carry the historic guilt of the germans and that too in 2022.

Guys, its a small request from a member… doesnt hurt. He hasnt said anything about Swastik, so why go there, anyways OT.

Apparently 2 more have flown out to Guwahati on their own today. I think he has support of around 35-40 now. Shivsena has only 56 MLAs.

As I had mentioned earlier Shinde doesnt take to penguin. There are reports today that 2 days before the MLC election there was a massive argument between Shinde and penguin and Raut. The latter wanted to use Senas excess votes for Congress and Shinde took a very dim view of it…

Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari will be available via Video conferencing no charge of Maharashtra Governor to any other state Governor- #Clarification issued by Governor House Maharashtra.


https://www.livemint.com/news/india/ami ... 04779.html

A statement from the Raj Bhawan was issued which stated that anybody who wanted to contact the governor should do so via video conference.

"Governor has Covid symptoms. Which is why he is admitted to the hospital. He is stable and there are no such talks of handing over his charge to the other Governor. If anyone wants to get in contact with the Governor, can do it via Video Conference," a statement from the Raj Bhavan said.

A practice so common in Tamil Nadu.

To whisper into Nandi bagawan 's ears.

Odisha tribal practices are the same too.
Just common Hindusim things across this desha.

For those who think it's just a collection of states.

No. It's the fundamental dharma that's common
