The video is about a protest by Shri Ram Vallabh Joshi, against the hypocrisy of socalled tapasvi Brahmins and in particular head of a math who feels desecrated by Shudras.

190 so far if 5forty3 is correct, and where the elections are still to be held expect around 25-27seats in UP, 1-3 in WB, clean sweep in Guj, 12 in Seema, 10-12 in Bihar, Utrakhand it’s again a clean sweep, Himachal 3, Tel 1-2, Punjab 5-7 for NDAKaran M wrote:so total so far?
Gurgaon offers a classic example of how things can go wrong in urbanisation when politicians, land developers and highly connected people collude to structure a disaster. The controversy surrounding the Haryana regime-Vadra-DLF deal must be seen in this context
To nuance this a bit more, RD is OBC and Modi is OBC too, so the idea is to make it a OBC Vs Dalit match to crack the rainbow coalition. The entire electoral maths of the nation has gone for a toss barring Punjab and Kerala. First time ever in the history of Indian elections we are witnessing a firebrand OBC leader vying for top post of the country solidly backed by traditional Upper Caste dynamics plus Dalit tailwinds. The sense of ownership about Modi is simply phenomenal amongst ALL sections of society. The NDA has to safely manage anything North of 220 to install Modi. Rest is all academic in nature.pankajs wrote:Baba RD's statement provided all the sides opposed to BJP the opening they were all looking for and Baba got caught in the middle.

This is the best shortest sentence to summarize the election so far. In Telangana based on latest reports, the OBC card has played a definitely role to blunt the Telangana pride of TRS. All pointers that the election here is a tossup with most of seats in close contest 48 hrs before the polls. Anything can happen. It started with a 3 seat for NDA and now everyone is saying it is 8 seats for NDA out of 17.munna wrote: To nuance this a bit more, RD is OBC and Modi is OBC too, so the idea is to make it a OBC Vs Dalit match to crack the rainbow coalition.

It is the best analysis so far as they break down the vote between urban, rural, caste, and religion. What is amazing is that the hard core Muslim groups voted 7-11% BJP.Sanjay wrote:I just hope 5forty3 is right and not overly optimistic. That said, the analysis is interesting and worth the subscription.

Why is EC after Baba Ramdev for something he said on Pappu? Surely he cannot be arrested for something as measly as a honeymoon in a Dalit Home.

21% rise in votes cast by Muslims surprises many
As reported earlier, voter turnout was 52.55 per cent from 41 per cent in the 2009 elections. Muslim turnout has risen to to 53 per cent from 32 per cent in 2009, a rise attributed to the ‘Modi factor’.
Ram Joshi is commenting on the varna vyavastha. He is questioning how by just doing the vidhis or growing hair one becomes Brahmin. He is exposing the Brahmins for being just namesakebrahmins but nothing in deed or thought.Paul wrote:Nikhil Wagle had posted this link on twitter, can some learned Marathi speaking soul please summarize.

Probably this is why Modi is going against the other regional parties with great gusto. They must have a great feedback, or maybe they did not. Still confused.

The yadavs of Bhagalpur going with RJD sounded too good to be true, they did not vote rjd (voted BJP) when Laloo was at the height of his power!! The Bhagalpur riot you know was between whom and whom, what caste was at the fore front. Which seat you are giving con in Bihar - Sasaram or Aurangabad (I guess Sasa)? What 4 are gone for BJP in UP?
So this round was good for BJP. Maybe they can now win with an inning then.

Bhim Singh and his panthers party would win zilch. No impact whatsoever. He will hardly get any votes to damage either BJP or Congress. He is more of those leaders who remain in news but hardly deliver electorally. Since my childhood I have heard about this fella fighting and losing elections and he is still in business of elections.nageshks wrote:In general, I tend to track smaller parties as well, in LS polls. I have a couple of Qs if anyone here is from J-K or Odisha.
How is Bhim Singh's Panthers Party doing in Jammu region? What effect will Bhim Singh contesting Udhampur have? Since none of the analyses have mentioned him, I take it that he has no chance to win. Whose vote will he damage?
What, if anything, will be the impact of Soumya Ranjan Patnaik's Aama Odisha Party?
