THIS is what Modi gets for pulling her out from where she was in a very bad shape/place and lifting her to a respectable position AND then he get blamed for her stupidity in the name of Women and Karma and Draupadi! NO one did anything for her BUT Modi.

BJP govt got Sadhvi Pragya get justice. She'd have died in jail otherwise.

BJP gave her ticket from a super safe seat.

BJP didn't take action against her for first time.

BJP govt gave her parliamentary committee post.

Still BJP is accused of ill-treatment of Sadhvi.
All she had to do was focus on the issue at hand and not open her mouth. Is that too much to expect.

Modi is very unlucky ... He gets it from all sides for his sincere efforts.
I believe she may not be mentally sound after so much of torture in jail. I feel sympathy for her.

She has her own agenda and is chafing at the perceived BJP bit.

This was a mistake to give her the seat.

She doesn't seem to accept/understand party discipline and thinks that the party needs her instead of vice versa.
She has grassroots appeal, so she is not completely wrong. She (and the BHU students) represents the challenge to the RW to balance between institutional discipline and the liberated Hindu spirit in all its manifestations.

In 2019 BJP got 1.8 Crore votes in Karnataka and 4.38 Crore votes in UP, a leap of 50 lakhs and 1 Cr respectively.

At this rate of implosion BJP will disintegrate sooner. People dreaming of BJP's sweep in West Bengal to counterbalance Jharkhand must have realised the mood of the voters with the loss of both the seats in the bye-election. When India was partitioned in 1947, it was Punjab and Bengal that was partitioned and had partial territory loss in the current super-structure of independent India. Therefore NRC is a painful experience people of West Bengal are not willing to endorse - they have endured the loss and pain of partition more than any other state (other than Punjab). There are many poor people who do not even have a piece of paper to provide specially Yindoo refugees!

But. OTOH, is the sadhvi really wrong, given the strong views on the subject expressed by ambedkar himself.

51 countries or erstwhile British colonies got independence in the 5 years after WW2. They all did not have Gandhis. But among them only we are stupid enough to believe that Gandhi got us independence.
The price of Indian independence was paid in Russian blood, born of Hitler’s stupidity, subsidised by British constitutionality, aided by American arm twisting of Britain. Gandhi & the Congress were a footnote at best #BitterTruths

BJP's Maha Folly
Now that the dust has settled on the Maharashtra political ruckus and govt formation, we can look at events and history a bit more calmly. The Shiv Sena (SS) has formed a govt with Congress and NCP. I am not concerned with how long it will last. What this post is concerned with is the poor foresight and wisdom among BJP leaders in allying with the two-bit SS in the first place. It is not “Mahayuti” as they call it but “Mahamoronery” to say the least. The BJP doesn’t learn from history it seems. But before all that, there are also equal number of morons among the RW who still think SS was a Hindutva party that has changed stripes, that Bal Thackeray (BT) was a Hindutva icon and all that rubbish. Let’s get some understanding of history first.

The SS was formed in 1966 with the help of Congress and Bombay industrialists to combat Commie unions in Bombay. BT added another ingredient to it called “Aamchi Mumbai” and non-Marathis to get out. Therefore, the first assault by SS was on Commie union leaders and the non-Marathis (South Indians, Bengalis etc). Many non-Marathi families were violently attacked and driven out of Mumbai. Majority of these families were obviously Hindus. The culmination of this violent cult resulted in the murder of a Commie union leader and MLA Krishna Desai for which over a dozen SS men were convicted. BT was not charged or implicated in this. It is this cult of violence, fear-mongering that made BT a “force” in Mumbai and not any political ideology and the term “Hindutva” was hardly in the political lexicon back then. Politicians, Cops and other local entities developed a fear of BT for his “Disruptive” capabilities. Thus, whether in power or not, BT could influence political events and outcomes and politicians genuflected before him at Matoshree. He became “Sarkar” as the movie projected him.

It is only towards the late 1980s that BT understood that violence isn’t paying politically and his party got nowhere that he sobered it down and started becoming more of a “politician”. This sobering down took on a more “patriotic” flavour. Remember, in 1991 SS men dug up the Wankhede pitch to prevent a match with Pakistan which thrilled the Hindus. As the Hindutva movement, led by LK Advani started gaining ground, BT’s clothes also changed from white to “Saffron”. By mid-90s BJP started winning some elections here and there and for the first time the SS-BJP combined came to power in 1995 in Maha and Manohar Joshi became CM. By 1995 BJP also got its permanent footing in Gujarat and became a political force. Later on, AB Vajpayee would become PM and BJP kept rising as a national party while SS remained a local party Mumbai Municipality. This dwindled the dominance of SS vs BJP. Thus, from a dominant partner, SS had become a “sidekick” that had lesser influence on BJP. In time to come, Narendra Modi became a nationally popular force and that finally asserted BJP’s supremacy over SS in Maha politics, as in many other states.

By the 1990s, BT who was just known as “Bal Thackeray” came to be respectfully addressed as “Balasaheb” and continued to exert influence in Maha politics whether in power or not. He had such an enormous clout that that all political leaders genuflected at his feet. With his death in 2012, the SS had lost all that “phenomenal informal power”. The replacement kid, Udhav Thackeray (UT), had neither the charisma nor the intelligence or sharp wit of BT to be as dominant a force in politics as BT was. In addition, with time, BT had become the senior-most figure among all his peers, so that brought him some reverence too. It is not easy to fill the shoes of a giant like BT and that was the biggest problem of the “power hungry” UT. But even with the giant BT, SS never won a majority on its own in Maha. Thus, SS always remained on the side-line and their only way to power was with some alliance. But even before the death of BT, I had warned the BJP never to have a prepoll alliance with SS because the party neither had any ideology and all the Hindutva crap being credited to it is nothing but falsehood


PM Modi understood this and did not ally with SS in 2014. The BJP won LS and Maharashtra on their own (although outside support was needed in Maha to form the govt). It is only after the results in 2014 that SS became a partner with BJP in the Maha govt. It would naturally hurt UT’s ego to realise that he is just a bit-player and does not possess the “Dadagiri” of BT. “Balasaheb” had open contempt and disdain for many of his alliance partners, including LK Advani. He was sharp-tongued and even said “those who bow before Sonia are Hijdas”. You can easily conclude what UT is if you go by that statement of BT. The other Thackeray, Raj, was reduced to a mere roadside-watcher in politics. What UT wanted was, the same power that BT had without contesting elections. He was more power-hungry than BT as his son AUT too is. These men haven’t built anything on their own, therefore, their lust is different. And then came the Palghar bypoll in May 2018. This is an event that most people are simply ignoring. It was the final insult to UT’s ego that turned him into a vengeful politician desperate for power at any and all cost:

Mentally, UT had already sworn revenge after the Palghar bypoll loss. He started publicly slamming PM Modi, even going to the extent of using “Chowkidar Chor” in a public meeting. UT also started hobnobbing with “Sickular” forces like Mamata Banerjee and their lovey-dovey exchanges were there for everyone to see (Except Devendra Fadnavis who was blind)

If not for his fear and knowledge that he would be slaughtered in Maha elections if he broke from BJP, UT would have also attended that spurious “Unity rally” of Mamata in Kolkata. The fallout of the Palghar bypoll fight was not missed by even the moronic media. Somehow, BJP and Fadnavis completely missed it altogether:

With all the actions, utterances and even the “Chowkidar Chor” reference, the BJP and Fadnavis simply failed to measure the motives of UT. He is not a BT who had any ideological compulsions later in life. UT simply wanted power, to seek revenge against Fadnavis and upstage the BJP as the major force in Maharashtra politics and sustain or rebuild the languishing influence of SS in the state’s politics. It is unfortunate that the BJP failed to recognise this freaky chameleon and still took on the SS as an ally after much protracted negotiations over seats. And if anyone was in doubt over the motives of UT in partnering BJP, the NCP MLA and leader Anil Deshmukh repeatedly alluded that post-elections, the NCP-Congress-SS would form the govt. In a speech and an interview, Deshmukh asserted this confidently. Hindsight, is a gift to all of us, but foresight should have been a gift with BJP with shrewd players like Amit Shah who were watching all this (Video 37 secs):

By the time Deshmukh made his speeches, it was too late to correct any mistakes. The withdrawal dates were over and elections were just a few days away. BJP’s fate was sealed even before the elections. I don’t think anyone is in doubt that UT and SS would have been in shambles had BJP gone it alone with the powerful magnetic pull of PM Modi with the voters. BJP didn’t lose the Maha election, they are victims of bad judgment and a bad partner. That is all there is to it. And post-results, Fadnavis lamented that UT was not even taking his calls. It is not because the post-election nonsense of 50:50 demand by UT or anything else was the reason. SS and UT had already made up their mind before elections to have their own CM and they knew it wouldn’t be possible with BJP

That’s not all, after stepping down as CM for “80 hours”, Fadnavis made a statement that SS had surrendered “Hindutva at Sonia’s feet”. This is hypocrisy at its worst. In the five years that he was CM, Fadnavis had completely forgotten Hindutva and never uttered the word once. He was busy pleasing Muslims giving Minority scholarships and calling it “Sabka Saath”, he was allowing Kabrastans near Hindu temple, sporting Muslim gear at Bohra celebrations and his wife was doing Christmas Carols. Hindus were seriously short-changed by the Fadnavis-govt and ModiSarkar had better take that warning seriously or they will alienate more Hindus

The map is only “indicative” and like the BJP BhajanMandlis one need not try to find excuses or dissect the reducing Saffron colour by some statistics of voting percentage or other factors. Simple fact is, if BJP could win a giant state like UP in 3 big elections without any partner, there was no reason to ally with the treacherous SS and UT. If that lesson is learned, then BJP will be back with a thumping victory again. The other lesson BJP has to learn, no amount of lipstick for “Sickularism” will get it anywhere. They cannot beat the Sickulars at their game – the only way they can win is with Hindutva as its core. That is the only thing that separates BJP from the motley crowd.

;). So looks like Shani Shingnapur and Mahalaxmi temple issues were only local issues. Yes, the BJP candidate may have lost there but there has not been a deep dive of BJP seats in MH. The original plan was that BJP & SS would be together and form the government. Even today they could have done that. The root cause of BJP's debacle was that they could not judge the true colours of Shiv Sena. And with that being the case even if they won the seats at Shani Shingnapur and Mahalaxmi temple things would not have been any different. An addition of two seats would NOT resolve the problem caused by Shiv Sena. Take for example how CPI(M) got drubbed in Lok Sabha elections in 2019. They lost in 18 out of 19 seats; which is a big big thing in KL. And it was that defeat which made the commies now sing a different bhajan.

We have some folks here who are first to shoot our people if something goes sideways, but disappears when some real culprit comes out.

I am telling you sadhvi is not normal human. no normal human goes through these hardships and still be in our face smiling. Don't know why some people on forum adding bad karma to their chart. I can write it on paper, bjp going to face setbacks one after another after this debacle. modiji is sanyasi, he loses nothing. bjp will see loss. and by extension the people who are depending on them will suffer.

Just as it is possible hold the opposite views on Godse at the same time, it is possible for Sadhvi too.

Godse was wrong to kill Gandhi even if his motive was great concern for the country. Similarly, Sadhvi is wrong to keep harping on Gandhi/Godse even when one feels sympathy for what she had to undergo.

Sadhvi was granted an elevated perch of an MP and she should have kept to the party discipline. IF she had a different take on Gandhi/Godse, she should have declined the BJP ticket. Then her statements would count for much less and create much less fireworks. Modi/BJP would not need to disown her and she would be free to "educate" people about other side of Gandhi/Godse debate. There are many who do that, whose pov does surface in the media from time to time, without inviting much scrutiny.

Someone in the BJP erred in giving her a ticket. They gave in to temptation to rub it in to Dogvijay without testing her temperament. BJP has been making a chain of such mistake, the last being sending ED notice to Pawarful just before Maha elections.

A couple of missteps don't count in the larger scheme of things. NRC may or may not fetch the dividends in Bengal BUT it is the right thing to do. You must read the opinion of CJI Gogoi on the matter.

EVEN of NRC does not identify the current illegals, once the database in ready ALL future illegals will have nowhere to hide. It is about future proofing the country. Is that too difficult to understand?

IF the above is true, a smart person would have held up the book in parliament and read from it constantly referring to Ambedkar in the speech. That is the way to do it.

Something on the lines of "... a different perspective .. from some one who lived during those turbulent time .. who's views are well respected by this august house ... I want to place on record of the house the views of Ambadker ji .." and done it.

Taking this theory to the next logical level; Indian National Congress, Sonia Maino & kids and the Nehru-Ghandi clan all seems to have got an extremely good karma. Perhaps what they did were the right things to do? ;). They did good "karma" and they are reaping the benefits as well well 8).

+1. The BJP (and every single cadre) should understand the ground situation and then think about making comments. At present main stream media is extremely hostile to them, and if they don't realise that then what can be done? In politics a lot of straight forward speaking will never help. If some one does not like that, they should keep away from politics. The BJP may have given tickets to many folks because of their local crowd pulling powers; but the "return gift" is that many of these local crowd pullers do not have a mass appeal else where (and their words/actions may not have the same effect).
I know some people dream of BJP "implosion" but mark my words, Modi/BJP will come back in 2024 with a BIGGER mandate.
The trend I have noticed is that all losers gang up against the winner (i.e BJP) and then form a government. It is a very strange thing to happen in the democracy, but India is really unique. This tactic is working in some states, but we have also seen it failing as well (KA is an example). At a national level such a thing will not work; because too many small time players whose pan-India vision is a big zero.

The most unforgivable part of what Sadhvi did was A Raja is known for foot in the mouth disease, if she let him complete his speech he would have definitely said something embarrassing the UPA, instead by talking out of turn she allowed a line of attack on herself rather allowing A Raja to hang himself.

So Very ‘Gandhian’: Congress MLA Says He Will Burn Sadhvi Pragya Alive If She Sets Foot In MP
People still don't get it ...

1. MP vs MLA
2. Sadhvi with her baggage vs a local unknown
3. Modi with his baggage in the mix
4. Modi's open admiration for Gandhi
5. Majority BJP voters still hold Gandhi in high regards

Wishful thinking does not work in politics. Politics is about calculation and getting it right. BJP miscalculated in Maha and is paying the price.

With power you can push you agenda by 1% at least BUT without it the field will be tilted against you by -10% at least. What will you chose?

Congress MLA threatens to burn Sadhvi Pragya alive if she sets foot in Madhya Pradesh
lol. Now explain this. Sadhvi is bad. Sadhvi is loudmouth. Sadhvi doesn't know anything about anything.

On other hand, this congi mla will get away with his murder threat. All of you who are criticising her, are just enabling people like this congi mla. shame on you.

You totally forgot the gandhi folks who died over the years. It hardly qualifies as good karma. they are worst hit, so are other dynasties.

So Gandhi could call the murderer of Swami Shradhanand, His brother but we should not analyze MKG lest some people get offended.
We have some folks here who are first to shoot our people if something goes sideways, but disappears when some real culprit comes out.

I am telling you sadhvi is not normal human. no normal human goes through these hardships and still be in our face smiling. Don't know why some people on forum adding bad karma to their chart. I can write it on paper, bjp going to face setbacks one after another after this debacle. modiji is sanyasi, he loses nothing. bjp will see loss. and by extension the people who are depending on them will suffer.
Sadhvi should have declined the BJP ticket and should have created he own organization to spread her own message.

Nothing wrong in that and with Sena going secular, we will need a party or a pressure group to the right of BJP. Perhaps she can resign form BJP and create her own Orginization/Party.

Karma does not work that way you make is sound. BJP did not loose Maha because of Sadhvi nor will it loose Jharkhand, as is forecaster by pollsters because of her. In Bengal, Mumtaz has recovered some ground per reports and the by-election even before Sadhvi made he statement. Karma does not work in advance.

BJP made THE mistake of giving her a ticket just to rub it in to DogVijay.

she is a lightning rod for all the commie/naxal/anti Hindu media and oped writers.

Best that she maintains a low profile.

She seems neither intelligent nor media savvy.

One genuinely sympathizes with her hardships and troubles but to repeatedly bite the very hand that feeds you is ungrateful, to say the least.

Her vested interest inner circle and others living off her reflected persona seem to be driving her into indiscrete pronouncements.

Her MP status gives her the medical benefits that she may badly need.

Sadhvi was sidelined with the concurrence of Modi in the latest round. Did Modi/Nadda/Rajnath too bow to "media crooks and congi slaves"? I am in good company.

Modi keeps winning while uber-yinduvadi keep loosing their mind!

For the record before someone claims WB 2021 as a payback for Sadhvi.

Yashwant Deshmukh @YRDeshmukh

Here is the final analysis of #WestBengalByElections . The BJP almost doubles it vote share from approx 20% to approx 40%. while TMC gains further 15% points to be ahead of BJP. Entire gain of both parties coming from Congress and CPM kitty. From approx 40%, now down to 10%.
https://twitter.com/hrnext/status/1200047504667971584
Anurag Shrivastava @hrnext

at the moment , TMC is unbeatable - they have at least 42-45% votes that solidly locked in . and in next couple of years just need to totally decimate CPM and Congress votes to be around 48-51% unbeatable number
While BJP will increase their tally in WB assembly at the cost of the rest, TMC seems to be comfortably placed to return.
