The ads basically depict families complaining no electricity, no water, etc. some ads also talk about corruption. There is nothing about what the congress will do if they come to power.
true...con certainly won't bring power and water...but such ads can nevertheless have an electoral impact..
In MP BJP will get lesser seats than last time...they ll get a simple majority most likely..con party in fighting is a factor that has helped it the most..sscs performance was decent ...but he does not command the respect Modi does in Guj..there were some mistakes he made..nothing that should cost him the election ,for he did far more right things than wrong..But con party nevertheless was able to cash on in these minor errors...it ll most likely be a narrow win for bjp..
scindia's are immensely popular and urban voters may fall for the young scindia heir . thankfully doggie supoorters may well sabotage his campaign..
in c'garh ,sources tell me ,that the slain leaders were well loved...they were most likely butchered by jogi/ej/maoist partnership...and they would be able to cash in on it..
ajit jogi is an extremely hated character in urban c'garh..(sadly only 15% of the state is 'urban')..when he was the CM he ran of the most extortionist and murderous regimes in independent India..rivalled by perhaps only lalu in bihar..and perhaps the present dispensation in UP..he could and would extort cash out of any business he laid his eyes upon...anyone who refused was butchered..he had slain entire business families...
But the tribals are blissfuly unaware of this despicable evil..even in the last assembly elections CON party was a triffle 1.3% behind BJP...level of education is so low in some of the inner tribes ,that clown princes antics or Modi's thunderous speeches and record of exemplar governance do not matter..because these people are unaware of existence of them...they still don't know that earth is a sphere and it revolves round the sun...and that is in spite of 10 years of BJP rule that actually tried to change all this...not that it was easy...
those slain leaders were immensely popular in these inner badlands...they did not know modi or clown prince..but they know verma and mudaliar and of course the legendary vc shukla(who should never have left the BJP,someone goofed)...now jogi/ej/maoist are trying to make the attack look like bjps fault...and i hear they are doing it with much success...
God only save the country...c'garh will too be quite close..
if the average Yindian electorate were brfite level ,the dynasty would not have made it this far..and our per capita incomes would have approached soko level last decade..we would have been talking about stuff like shale oil and sustainable energy and social security and university enrolment..comparing test scores of public and private schools..stuff people do in unkil...
but with a large fraction of population not having electricity and basic primary education we are still half a century from that point ...
if BJP has to win elections ,it sadly has to behave like congress and resort to divisive politics,which it has so far done only half heartedly..
