Gandhi had offered to step down from the party President's post at the CWC meeting, taking responsibility for Congress' embarrassing defeat in the Lok Sabha polls. However, his offer was unanimously rejected by the CWC members though Gandhi had insisted on its acceptance.
Party sources said that Gandhi took back the offer to resign in the wake of the views expressed by the CWC members.

This is a video interview w/ D Aravind, the BJP candidate who defeated KCR's daughter in Nizamabad, Telangana.. to give an insight into how Telangana is changing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF4pyENejaI
The video is in Telugu and hence am providing a few brief translations. His clarity of thought & grip on local issues is impressive. Future leadership material for Telangana for sure :
<my translation for the first few dialogues>
"
Journalist: You joined BJP on Aug 15, 2017.. did you imagine you'd ever be an MP in such a short time.
Aravind: I joined BJP only to work with & strengthen Modi ji. Strengthening Modi is proving your patriotism. We had a focused target for 21 months and achieved it thanks to hardwork of everyone including party Cadre.
Journalist: Why did you chose to contest MP elections, that too in the toughest seat in the state against CM's daughter in Nizamabad.
Aravind: I am big fan of National issues. My party highlighted Art 370 removal in its manifesto, if I can vote for removing it in Indian parliament, that will give me immense happiness. So will implementing NRC across the entire country, including our Nizamabad. So does contributing to building Ram Mandir, which needs to be built at the exact location . I will sleep peacefully if I can vote for these issues in parliament. Kashmir is integral part of India, why can't we go and do business there ? Some foolish people with vested interest created Art 35A and 370. My life will be successful if I can vote for a Bill that calls for removing these articles.
Journalist: you sound like a hardcore Hindutvawadi, but your father is a congressman
Aravind: Yes, I am a hardcore Hindutvawadi. But the above issues are about hardcore Nationalism. Why should anyone who is not nationalist stay in this country ? Why should anyone control who comes and stays in Kashmir.
..

<local issues>

Wearing "hardcore Hindutva" as a badge of honor sums up the attitude of the new crop of young BJP leadership emerging in the state - fearless, confident and nationalist !

The 2004, in its impact, were similar to the last ball six of Javed Miandad in Sharjah. Anyone who had gone through that match would attest the deep lasting scar left to the psyche that multiple Indian win at various venue still haven't removed completely despite the current dominance. 2004 GE result was one such. Similar to the cricket situation, the scar would never go completely (we have lost at least 10+ years of our productive life with UPA at helm) but this result would help sooth the pain.
I don’t feel any pain now.

Religious divide obliterates good work of ‘Ponnaar’
Consolidation of Christian votes went against Pon. Radhakrishnan in Kanniyakumari
Though he had executed commendable multi-crore development projects in his constituency, which were quite new to the southernmost segment of the country’s mainland, the lone BJP MP from Tamil Nadu and Union Minister of State for Shipping and Finance Pon. Radhakrishnan, suffered a crushing defeat in the Lok Sabha polls from Kanniyakumari constituency at the hands of H. Vasanthakumar of Congress by a whopping margin of 2.59 lakh votes.
While Mr. Vasanthakumar, chairman of the widely popular Vasanth & Co., polled 6,26,916 votes, Mr. Radhakrishnan got 3,67,108 votes.
With this victory, Mr. Vasanthakumar, the richest candidate from Tamil Nadu, has avenged the defeat he had suffered at the hands of Mr. Radhakrishnan in the same constituency in the 2014 general elections.
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
Is BJP going to do anything about its workers being killed with impunity? Does it even care? SI's close aide was killed, but twitter is full of how SI is carrying his body over his shoulders, than actual crime. Post results we saw many such murders. Or top leadership of BJP talking about murdered workers is all they are going to get?

Amethi is in UP and it now has a full time MP. Full force of law needs to be brought on the perpetrators. Smriti'ji going there just shows that she is very much hands on and involved. And it seems some five persons have already been arrested. In essence, CONgoons were ruling via their goons. And now CONgoons have lost Amethi for an entire generation. Regarding the perpetrators, law needs to take its own course. Smriti'ji already said she will seek death sentence.
Here is the irony, the person could have been alive if medical help was provided at the quickest. Instead they had to take the person all the way to lucknow! Medical infrastructure is lacking.While Surendra’s son Abhay Pratap Singh said his father’s kiling was a ‘political murder’, Irani told mediapersons outside the former sarpanch’s house that he was killed so that Amethi could be “terrorised, disintegrated and bowed down”.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/arti ... aign=cppst
This point, instead of retaliating in anger:
1. Have an insurance scheme for the BJP karyakartas.
2. Bring the perpetrators to justice as quickly as the judiciary allows
3. Identify sensitive areas and start tapping into legal aid.
India is just emerging from dark ages. It will take at least 5-10 years before things come to a better point. Take a look at Surat, thousands of coaching institutes operate illegally and without any safety norms. It is as much people's responsibility, government can only do so much.
But for all of the above, judiciary has to work quickly.

the "dravidian" sentiment is solely confined to some elements in TN and no one else anywhere in the country supports such a sentiment.
I know that some similar sentiments fanned by the BIF is being bandied about, trying to gain a foothold in two other states but they have a fragmented, rudderless and divisive leadership that is acknowledged as the loony fringe.
what will stalin support it with, especially when these forces are diverse in origin and pulling in different directions too.
if stalin is pinned down to explain what he said or meant, he will come up with some wishy washy wimpy lame ass explanation, if not that ready escape hatch of a cornered politico: "I was misquoted and my words were twisted by a hostile press"
Re: 2019 General Elections : Results Discussion
I do not have any power to ban. However I think the 15 lakhs is being well used, for example: https://www.newskarnataka.com/health-li ... m-jan-2018ShyamSP wrote:Are Gana-praja from Dwarak to Guwahati and Kashmir to Kanya Kumari are buying golden huts with 15 lakhs transferred from swiss accounts?

Tambram population in TN is less than 2% now
When I attend marriages within the community , I am struck by the absence of youngsters and kids - they all seem to be abroad
I myself am and NRI but atleast get to visit more often
Don't expect Tambrams to get politically active anytime soon. They have been systematicall disenfranchised in TN by the DK/DMK gangs and have learnt to mind their own business in the preceding decades.
And no , Tambrams did not vote for Kamal. If anything he is more detestable than DK / DMK.
The best bet is ADMK ( the lesser evil ) .
Modi needs to get the mofo TTV Dinakaran behnd bars at the earliest , reunify ADMK .
It is better to have some understanding with ADMK rather than an outright alliance ,as the hatred towards BJP seems to have rubbed off on ADMK this time.
Also , the local BJP leadership must espouse peoples causes more visibly , and open a TV channel or two.
H Raja must learn to keep his mouth shut.

There's no difference between Sanskrit and Tamil as both have common literature some works taken from Sanskrit to Tamil and some other works (mainly bhakti traditions) taken from Tamil to Sanskrit. There's perfect harmony between Tamil and Sanskrit as sister languages.
In fact, Thirukkural is the "Advaita" Vedanta. Where is the difference?
TKiran , all the above points are absolutely true.
In fact if one knows Tamil really well , they will understand that many Tamil and Sanskrit ( by extension Hindi ) words have common roots .
However , will the rank and file of DK/DMK gangs accept your points ? To them , Sanskrit and Hindi are more alien than English and Arabic.
Also , I do accept your point about the richness of Tamil literature . But one should not denigrate other languages . Hindi is a comparatively younger and more plebeian language.
However , what is the status of Tamil culture today ? In all art forms ? Just see how mango Tamils behave with each other.
We can keep basking in the glory of ancient Tamils, but what we see today is frankly disgusting.

I hope in 2021 Assembly elections DMK allocates the same proportion of seats to INC, Communists, VCK and fights election on Tamil issues with Zero Freebies or loan write off promises.

Since TN has not been cheated directly INC promises lately like Rajastan, MP CHattisgarh and Karnataka many in TN thought they were pushing a button and getting 6K a month, while these states voted in anger against INC for being cheated.

Better to have given a guy like Delhi's equivalent of "Tejasvi Surya" a chance, someone who came from within. One can understand getting outsiders in Bengal or Telangana or Andhara where the party does not have much presence.
Sadhvi Pragya too was a bit of showmanship. Now they are stuck with their choice. Cannot acknowledge her not dismiss her. Both options come with its own cost.
These are self goals that could have been avoided.

Nothing wrong with condemning an alledged attack on a Muslim for wearing skull cap and not agreeing to shout Jai shri ram.

This fits in nicely with Modi bowing to the Indian constitution.

I mean he couldn't find a single line form any of our spiritual literature to imply the same? If he did not want to quote Hindu scripture he could have quoted Guru Nanak or Buddha or Mahavir. I am sure we could find an equivalent or better quote.

Truth - BJP is the LARGEST party in South India, West India and East India. The biggest myth is about the South, where BJP has won 30 seats, significantly higher than Congress which emerged as the 4th largest party of South India after BJP, YSRCP and DMK.
