Someone's interesting take:
Reasons why Congress is winning for the past 65 years and why it will win in the future:
( A View Point)
Currently, on an average (over states) there are 15% Muslims, 8% Christians, 7% Others and 70% Hindus.
That is out of 100 people, there are 70 Hindus, 8 Christians, 15 Muslims and 7 Others.
Voter registration is as follows:
90% of Muslims, 90% Christians and 60% Hindus and 90% Others.
This means, that is out of 100 people, 42 Hindus, 14 Muslims, 7 Christians and 6 'Others' will Register for vote.
Now, interesting point
Out of the registered voters having voter ID or at least having interest in selecting their representative....
Have a look at the number of turnouts 50% Hindus will vote, 90% Muslims will vote, 90% Christians will vote and 90% others will vote
That is ultimately 21 Hindus will vote, 13 Muslims will vote, 6 Christians and 5 'Others' will vote during election and these people are responsible for selecting the representative and deciding the future of our Great India....
That is these, 45 people of total population. It is highly likely that out of 13 Muslims, 10 will vote for Congress, Out of 6 Christians, 5 will vote for Congress and out of 5 others, 3 will vote for congress.
That is Congress will get 18 non Hindus votes, BJP may get 1 Muslim or Christian and 1 others vote.
That is BJP may get 2 non Hindu votes. Other parties, that are third front, may get 2 Muslim or Christian and 1 vote from others.
That is, 'Others' may get 3 non Hindu votes.
Coming to Hindu votes now Out of 21 Hindus. If 5 vote for Congress, 10 vote for BJP and 6 vote for other parties.
Final result will be Congress 23 votes, BJP 12 votes, other parties will get 9 votes. This has been the trend since 1990, therefore, Congress do not bother for Hindu vote.
Congress loses in States where the Muslims do not vote for them.
If Congress scares minority from majority, which is easy in the name of secularism, their 90% work is done....and they have been doing so.. religiously..
It is highly likely that the trend will continue and may vary by few percent and the Congress will remain in Power, as minority population increases, for the next 100 years..

MUMBAI/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The patriotism of wealthy overseas Indians has helped the country avert economic crises in the past and it is little surprise that embattled policymakers are turning to them again to plug a record trade gap that is battering the rupee.
This time, though, big investors among the more than 25-million overseas Indian community - the world's second-largest diaspora - are staying away as the economic outlook darkens and political instability looms ahead of national elections.
Shoring up inflows from the overseas Indians is a key weapon in Finance Minister P. Chidambaram's arsenal to prop-up the rupee that has lost 20 percent against the dollar so far this year and which dropped to a record low on Wednesday.
The rupee's crash has boosted remittances, mainly from blue-collar workers overseas - particularly in the Gulf - who can get more rupees for hard currency. However, it has not triggered a surge in high-value investments in real estate, private equity funds and stock markets, bankers and wealth managers said.
{Form Hindu's pages FII lost ~20% of their investments when reconverted into $s}
Underlining the hesitancy, flows from non-resident Indians (NRIs) into bank deposits in the April-June quarter dropped to $5.5 billion from $6.6 billion a year-earlier, central bank data shows.
Investments in real estate by overseas Indians dropped about 30 percent in the fiscal year that ended in March, according to the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI), an umbrella group of local property developers.
"People feel like there are too many unknowns. The most recent government has been ghastly, and nobody quite knows what comes after it. I haven't been optimistic about India for quite a while," said Vasant Prabhu, chief financial officer of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc in New York.
"What makes it hard, you don't know what the bottom of the rupee is," he said in comments underscored by a rupee that stumbled from 63 per dollar on Friday to almost 69 per dollar on Wednesday - a sharp move over such a short period of time for a currency.
His comments were echoed by wealth managers and bankers in Britain, the United States and India who said non-resident Indian clients saw too many uncertainties despite the tantalising prospect of buying assets with a record-low rupee.
{you kidding with Damad lurking around how do they know those properties are not scams?}
Economic growth is at its weakest in a decade and seen slowing further, New Delhi is struggling to close a record deficit in the current account - the broadest measure of a country's international trade - and a national election that must be held by May could tempt the government to spend to win over voters and so undermine its fiscal discipline.![]()
{They never showed discipline either in looting or spending. From a democracy they reduced India to a kleptocracy rule by thieves}
In addition, emerging markets are losing favour with investors generally as the prospect of the United States reining in its economic stimulus draws cash into U.S. assets.
In a bid to attract funds, India liberalised bank deposit schemes and some banks raised rates for overseas Indians this month. They could secure interest rates of more than 8.5 percent on one-year rupee deposits and as much as 10 percent on three-year accounts, a relatively high return compared with many other countries where rates remain near historic lows.
"All these folks always had this strong belief that India is the safest country to invest and four, five years back when the rest of the world was collapsing India was still growing," said Anil Behl, head of wealth and strategy at lender IndusInd Bank , referring to the global financial crisis.
"That mood has changed now," he said. "I can certainly feel that some NRIs are looking at dollar-based products from international stables ... they are very wary of pure rupee products."

LARGE HIT
The government goes out of its way to tug at the heartstrings of white-collar expatriates, such as those in Silicon Valley and at top investment banks in London, to raise funds and cushion the impact of slowing institutional inflows. There is even a ministry for Overseas Indian Affairs which has NRI investment as a core goal.![]()

New Delhi has managed to lure them in the past with attractive deposit schemes and bonds. It issued a five-year Resurgent India Bond in 1998, raising more than $4 billion, and in 2000 it raised $5.5 billion through a deposit scheme.
India, Asia's third-largest economy, was the top recipient of remittances from diaspora in 2012 with about $70 billion, followed by China at $66 billion, World Bank figures show. India received about $63 billion in remittances in 2011.
Banks, including RBS , Barclays and Morgan Stanley , beefed up their teams in cities like New York, Singapore, Dubai and Hong Kong in recent years to advise overseas Indians on investment opportunities back home.
But many investors are now staring at losses as the rupee's plunge since May has wiped out gains they made on investments in private equity funds and mutual funds in the last few years.
"For people who are dollar-invested, that's a large hit," said Ajay Kaisth, principal of New Jersey-based Kai Advisors, which has $30 million under management, of which more than 60 percent is from Indian clients.
After trading broadly around 45 per dollar in 2010 and 2011, the rupee has dropped more than 30 percent.
LOSING FAITH
The economy is likely to grow even more slowly in fiscal 2013/14 (April-March) than the decade-low of 5 percent struck the previous year, as investment will stay weak due to a dearth of reforms and uncertainty ahead of the election, a Reuters poll showed.
The rupee has become the worst performer by far among Asian emerging-market currencies tracked by Reuters, despite frantic attempts by the government and central bank to support it.
Lalit Kumar Jain, chairman of CREDAI said property purchases by Indian expatriates were now needs-based rather than speculative, reducing what has been in the past a key type of demand.
As a portfolio investment destination, India also faces daunting competition as developed markets, including the United States, show signs of finally emerging from the global financial crisis, said Bundeep Singh Rangar, who advises individuals as well as companies on India investments as chairman of London-based IndusView Advisors.
"And that's a cause of concern because the biggest champion of India is its diaspora, and if they are losing faith you can imagine how much the non-Indian investor would be losing faith."

It was Krishna in Ved Vyas who combined all Vedas.
It was Krishna in Aadi Guru Shankracharya who sanitized ill interpretations/beliefs of Vedas from sanatan dharma.
It was Krishna in Chhatrapati Shivaji who shielded Hindus from barbarics.
It was Krishna in Swami Vivekanand who announced the Hinduism in Chicago.
It was Krishna in Hedgevar ji and Golvalkar ji who formed and spread RSS. If you see the service RSS has done to this country you will realize this. To say it in few words, all dharmik forces of today are linked by RSS.
It was Krishna in LKA who did Rathyatra to unite and awaken Hindus. Babri was just a nimit karan. (to console Sushuptiji I have to say Krishna has left him)
And it "looks like" that it is Krishna in NM who is challenging adharmiks of present time. Though only time will confirm this, and a very long time at that.
These are just examples. I have skipped many many more Krishnas.
Even if you observe ordinary people's lives, each will have ups and downs in his/her life. God keeps giving opportunities to everyone, small or large based on their past karma. In both times we are often presented by choices dharmik and adharmik. At the time of the decision it is Krishna who inspires us to go for dharmik. But being manushya we have right to go adharmik. Based on our choices we form our karma for future. By not recognizing this Krishna in us, we are doing disservice to ourselves.
But still, if you want to go strictly by the text, then sorry to say that time for the arrival of Mr. Kalki is long long away. He will come in the end of the Kalyug which has just started.
For me what Krishna meant was that he keeps the balance between dharma and adharma. Note that when he promises to come time and time again, he also foretells us that the adharma will also keep coming with fierce force time and time again. In the same Gita he has also told us that Kalyug will be full of extreme hardships for people with ideals and values. So saar, this all is by design and things are only going to be worsen. Only thing is that we are assured that Krishna will keep coming to do the balancing it somewhat. And when it is totally out of control, Mr. Kalki shall do the sarvanash and create a new world.
What to do sir? we can't fight the design. Though we can honor and follow the Krishna within us. And to conclude, of course, it's all Maya onlee. So don't worry have curry.
PS: Sorry for the grossly OT post. I'm tired of hearing this same lament (not on BRF) among people and sometimes even in news media. It is common to see people saying on the lines, there was only one Ravan for whom Ram took avtar, but what Ram is doing today when there are thousands of Ravans roaming freely. I tell them that it was Satyug and this is Kalyug. Today there are only thousands of Ravans, tomorrow there will be millions and the day after there will be billions. Afterall, this was also promised by Krishna.
Let us not forget that he also said we need to do our duty. How many hindus today do their duty? Yet when it comes to claiming benefits, they all stand in line. If you do YOUR duty (including spiritual ones), he will help. Trust me, I know it.Hari Seldon wrote: Our gods betray us yet again.

I think Gadkari's removal was the last straw. Lets see. Things have gone too far. Hence they also warmed up to Swamy and let him in. In their estimation, this is the last phase where if still they remain complacent and neutrally observe the dharma will go to dogs. No dharmik can now afford to be neutral. Sadly many people don't know it yet. Next decade is absolute make or break for dharma like 1680-1700/02
