Assembly Election Results 2022: How Goa’s RG Party Left RG's Party All at Sea in Coastal State
Aside from the defeat to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in the Goa assembly polls, one thing that majorly embarrassed the Congress on Thursday was losing a part of its vote bank to the state’s youngest political outfit, the Revolutionary Goans Party.
RG, as the party is popularly called, gave Rahul Gandhi (RG)’s party a run for its money and hurt the Congress’s vote share in at least five major constituencies.

The Congress won 11 seats in Goa, almost 8 below their expectations, say party leaders. But what hurt them the most was how Goa’s youngest party, Revolutionary Goans, set them back by taking away 1,000-1,500 votes each in Curtorim, Valpoi, Shiroda, and Curchorem.
Led by former Aam Aadmi Party worker Manoj Parab, RGP started out as a social organisation built on the premise of fighting to preserve the rights of persons of Goan origin. The party fielded candidates against several heavyweights in the state — including chief minister Pramod Sawant (Sanquelim) and health minister Vishwajit Rane (Valpoi).
Goa: Advantage BJP as RGP splits anti-incumbency vote with over 9% of the pie
While results point to lack of opposition unity, those who questioned RGP are convinced that it’s BJP’s B-team.

This should put to rest any idea of Sabka saath sabka vikas working for peaceful voters.
For the past seventy odd years in independent India and for long decades before that during the raj, the minorities have been the entitled, as well as, the pampered lot onlee.

Some things started to change circa 2014 but in truth, the problem has lessened just a shade with non existent rights being asserted under threat of communal violence.

Have noticed one thing in many places for it to be some sort of a universal (Indian) truth.

Whenever any govt scheme is announced, for the first many days the peacefuls will crowd out any other and ensure that all of them monopolize the opportunity and ensure that they always get it in the first go.

The rush is always protected with burkha clad women so that no one will try to squeeze in between because it is guaranteed to spark off a major confrontation.

the jehadi males are invariably lurking well within earshot to pitch in.

shop owners on both sides of the road are always jittery because any confrontation is quickly escalated to arson of vehicles, smash and grab of goods and looting and burning of majority businesses'.

appeasement always leads to increased expectations usually well beyond the usual socially inspired notions

So the peacefuls always rush to grab while the going is good.

^^ I can attest to this. Every time i go to Aadhar card office I see a big number of peacefuls making these id cards. Not sure where these are coming from but there is a significant migration from overcrowded places like west UP to other places. Modus operandi seems to be to gather all local ids and make use of sarkari schemes while cursing the kuffars. With their current TFR it wont be long before they overwhelm the system and start another riot.

Ruling a state like Punjab vs city state like Delhi is hugely different. AAP will find the popular freebie give-aways are going to be hard when you have to balance budgets. Maybe they can raise money from Trudeau since he sympathizes with Kalistan. AAP will institute the fear of getting caught in corruption of govt of Punjab officials. Maybe electricity theft/losses will come down. But Punjab is mainly agri powerhouse with Canada/Britain foreign money sloshing around. Drugs are a bane. So far AAP has shown no great acumen in administration. Remains to be seen what unfolds in Punjab.

Meanwhile in UP Business Today India, March 11 2022: Improved infra, ease of business among key reasons behind BJP’s win in UP, says survey
Summary:
83% of voters felt that the infrastructure in their district has improved in their district
53% believed that the infrastructure improvement was significant in the last few years
Yogi Adityanath needs to step up the pace of reforms in his 2nd term and really show the Nation how UP (largest state) can be turned around and become an engine of growth for India.

Most of the Jatav vote is still up for grabs now that the BSP has essentially stopped being a significant political force there. Some of them might look at the situation and search for another option. I hope the BJP can attract the biggest chunk to continue the consolidation of Hindu votes.

Punjab is under a huge debt burden with little hope for a big increase in government revenues anytime soon. What the comedian turned CM will do to get out of it (if anything) remains to be seen. None of the others would have done much either though. Both parties have proved themselves to be useless in that regard.

MGP gives support to BJP to form Government in Goa.

Sudin Dhavalikar’s son Mithil hands over letter of support to Devendra Fadnavis.

BJP now had support to 25 MLAs now (20 BJP + 3 IND + 2 MGP).

The first thing Mann will do when he comes to power is that he will ask for special status or an increased allocation of funds from the central government. This will be either rejected or held in limbo by Centre. Kejriwal will immediately spin this as an assault on the proud Sikhs and that Centre and *wink * *wink * Hindus hate Sikhs and how it is a grand conspiracy that all evils of Punjab are due to this.

Meanwhile, Channi will announce the freebies of power and then set up his mohalla clinics which will lie unused like Delhi. The financial situation will be even more precarious…

Irrespective of its anti-corruption plank, the first priority of AAP in Punjab will be to fill personal and party coffers with Govt money. The've been handed the keys to the safe, the temptation will be too hard to resist. Kejri is ex IRS and will know exactly how to siphon money untraceably. DBT for central funded schemes will be a minor road bump.

Even in UP there were recent report about how peaceful beneficiaries got 1000s of crores in housing schemes without ever building anything. Could not have happened without low-med-high level corruption of govt officials, who had to verify building progress before sanctioning next tranche of funds transfer. All funds received by real people are surrendered to peaceful org.s .

AAP in PJ will find other tricks and coopt local babudom so that nothing can come out and retain its clean image. For ex: They can simply collect 10% from farmers getting MSP payments via DBT. They will have all the data, who got how much.

I get the feeling AAP is the Ghatotkach at the Indra Shakti - Khalistanis.

AAP and Khalistanis intrisically are anarchists, and if their handlers do not baby sit them every second, they would end up tearing each other.

Either Khalistani have to be pulled back or AAP has to be. If AAP is pulled back, the Punjab worsens, and people will get tired of AAP. Crazywal will not get to blame Center. Can the handlers pull the plug on Khalistani without retaliation?

I would be surprised the new gov lasts full term. Moi thinks, Modi and Amit did not want Punjab now. Too hot.

@SirAkPandey .19h

Fact : Bhagat Singh was born in village of Banga in the Lyallpur district which is now in Pakistan.

That's how they fooled the people of Delhi. And now they are on mission to fool Punjabi people!

@ANI · 11 Mar

I've invited party convener Arvind Kejriwal for the swearing-in ceremony.

Now swearing-in will not be held in 'Mahals' but in villages of freedom fighters.

We'll take oath in the village of Shaheed Bhagat Singh on Mar 16 as a tribute to him: AAP's Punjab CM candidate Bhagwant Mann

The angst that caused people in Punjab to vote for AAP can be explained by looking at this moving graph of Indian states GDP vs. time. Notice how GDP per capita of Punjab was one of the highest states is now on the lower side.

I remember that during the '60s and '70s Punjab used to be No. 1 per capita among the states (not including UTs) on almost all economic metrics. Then the Khalistan agitation started, Punjab's politics and governance got screwed up, and it has been on decline ever since.

Nothing illustrates it better than the fact that Haryana, which when created consisted of the economically backward districts of united Punjab, is now way ahead of Punjab on all economic metrics now. Even in sports, where Punjab used to dominate, Haryana now wins more medals for India at international levels than Punjab.

People of Punjab need to reflect on the causes of this decline, instead of just blaming the Center.

Not surprised in the least bit. Beats me why many are so desperate to see a Muslim change of heart due to Vikas. There isn't any, nor will there ever be any. Muslim voting percentage for BJP has remained in the 6% ballpark since 2014. Some have a fond hope that Triple Talaq, UCC etc will attract Muslim women's vote towards BJP. Not going to happen.

Hindu consolidation is the only game worth playing. Bheda among opposition where possible.

The graph in that tweet is based on opinion polls or just imaginary numbers cooked up by so called psephologists some of whom are thousands of kms away from UP, the EVM VVAT does not record one's reglion/caste/gender etc. While i have no doubt that as usual most shantidoots vote in a flock to a party that has best chances of defeating BJP, it is also true that in 2017, 2019 and 2022 many closely contested seats have been swung in BJP's favor because of M women. It is not without a reason that in multiple rallies this time Modi addressed the M women directly.

May be, but unfortunately Govt largesse space is already taken up by BJP (which does it in a better sustainable way) and now also AAP which gives out mindless dole. If Congress has to be noticed in this space they have to promise even more, and bigger stuff, bordering on the ridiculous and they won't convince anyone. Party coffers are bankrupt as their ideology, brand in tatters, historical Congress hero figures like Gandhi and Nehru are strongly challenged by new narratives and millennials.

Whats left in Congress thats really worth saving ? Which of their leaders have delivered anything of national interest who merit a second chance? What's there to estimate at all?

they have been decimated. Their cadres need nursing and the UP election splurge by pappu and pappi, not to mention the splurge in punjab may have almost juiced them out.

To rise again, they need another bhakra govt to plunder err sorry, administer.

the real reasons as to why the so called g-23 have been kept out of the inner circles of the congi mafia family is not really clear but it appears that there is very much more to it than what is visible from the outside, which is not really a whole lot.

Best guess is that it has something to do with ahmed patel's untimely departure and the fallout thereof. My best guess again is that money is the root of all evil and additionally, maybe some sort of a diary/recording kept by patel has reached the capo di tutti i capi or the madrina causing the famiglia to become katti with the g-23

like the pretty gurls in hong kong used to say: no money, no jig jig.

6% is a good number. I don't think anyone in BJP is desperate to see a Muslim change of heart. But helps make the point that while BJP does not appease the Muslim community, they don't have a policy of discriminating against them. All the development work has equal benefits. Unfortunately more than the Muslims, it is the Hindu sickulars who keep harping that BJP discriminates and acts against the Muslim community. So this is part of the Hindu consolidation if you get me.
