I heard about him being in trouble, but there are some TRS supporters that are spreading rumors about zero development. Hopefully the urban voter base that wants to see Modiji back in power will get him through.

Overall Telangana prediction
After going through non-MSM sources it looks like 8-11 BJP, 5-8 Cong, 1 AIMIM.

BJP to retain the 4 (Adilabad, Nizambad, Karimnagar, Secunderabad) + gain 4 new (Chevella, Malkajgiri, Medak, Zahirabad).
It's neck-neck between BJP vs Congress in Bhongir & Mahbubnagar w/ BJP edge.
It's neck-neck between BJP vs Congress in Nagarkurnool w/ Cong edge.
Cong to win 5 (Nalgonda, Khammam, Peddapalli, Warangal, Mahbubabad).
BRS likely to be wiped out.

Overall, things looking up in Telangana.

Can anyone share similar projections for Karnataka ?

Congress threatening Hindus. They are still banking on the fact that they might come back in power sometime in future to finish off hindus once and for all. I hope Modi and Co make sure he's jailed for the crimes he did. Congress must be finished once and for all.

Lok Sabha elections 2024: EC takes cognisance of MCC violation by Modi, Rahul; seeks response by April 29
I hope Modi uses this explanation to further buttress his point, on illegal immigration and Mauni Baba's demand on "minorities having first rights on nation's resources". This being an explanation cannot be twisted or abridged, and every one including EC will have to publish it as is.

Not surprising if BJP becomes #1 party in Telangana in this election.

Karnataka: most polls predicted 23-25 for NDA. Now with all the new foolishness coming from Congis, it should be a clean sweep of 28/28.

PM Modi hits Congress hard on inheritance tax, recalls how Rajiv Gandhi abolished it just before his children inherited Indira Gandhi’s estate

PM Modi today slammed the Congress party for revoking the inheritance just before transferring Indira Gandhi’s estate to her grandchildren



https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/ne ... s?from=mdr


Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi of abolishing inheritance tax to evade tax after Indira Gandhi's death, alleging that Congress now aims to impose it on taxpayers. Modi's remarks follow criticism of Congress leader Sam Pitroda's inheritance tax comments

Al-Guardian has a spate of articles running down BJP and calling Modiji various epithets of dictator, fundamentalist etc etc. The stickers are all from usual suspects, but not a single one from BJP side. They are one step away from calling the election a sham and rigged.

None of the views that any of us give will be published. Please don’t give them bandwidth.

cong Leftist cabal want to break Hindu unity at all cost. all this talk of Inheritance tax will skip Minorities and will land only on Hindu head.
on one hand talk of caste census, and other hand give religion based reservation.
this is a much bigger ploy here which sooner people realize the better.

NIA makes first arrest in Delhi for 2023 attack on high commission in London


Inderpal Singh Gaba, a resident of Hounslow, UK, has been arrested in Delhi by NIA for his role, particularly the March 22 attack


https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-ne ... 90886.html

Inderpal Singh Gaba, a resident of Hounslow, UK, has been arrested in Delhi by the agency for his alleged role, particularly the March 22 attack, in which over 2,000 pro-Khalistan supporters vandalised the high commission building and threw articles including ink to deface it, NIA said.

On March 19, a smaller group pulled down the Indian flag in an attack that also led to injuries to some embassy staff.

The protestors were organised by UK-based Sikh radical and Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) leader Avtar Singh Khanda, who later died in a UK hospital in June 2023. Khanda was a close associate of Khalistani terrorist Jagtar Singh Tara, and allegedly acted in retaliation to the action taken by Punjab police against Waris Punjab De chief Amritpal Singh on March 18. Singh is currently lodged in a high-security prison in Assam.

Per this article, parties are willing to fly you to India for free to vote in these elections. I can see this being a nice little money earner for the airlines as more voters living abroad are registered.

Lol. In what way does anyone trust a Paki on Indian matters?

IMO GoI needs a more firm hand on denying visas to Pak origin people regardless of citizenship. God knows Indian applicants are denied visas and hassled even when granting visas to Europe. So there should be no hesitation to return the favor. If a non-discriminatory rule is required, apply it to countries which have not previously extradited criminals wanted in India to India. This will snare US citizens too thanks to Rana and Headley, but so be it.

Moi did my part this morning in S BLR constituency. Voted for party which stands for development & 2047 vision. But the voting process was not pleasant. Just one EVM (one more reserved for VVIP)...it took 2 hrs to come out. 2014 experience was great...had 3 or 4 EVMs...in & out less than 15-20 minutes. All said & done...still in dhoti shiver mode onlee.

Brisk polling from my booth in Bangalore South. Joined the line at 7:15 and was out by 7:45. Hoping for an above-Bengaluru-average turnout this time.

Lots of Congi workers on the streets near my booth, but not that much presence from the BJP side. Perhaps because the BJP voters here are committed and traditionally form a strong rock of support. The Congi presence can be put to the good proportion of minority votes as well. Let's see.

Isn't every booth having only 1 EVM? The queue was moderate in my booth, but they had divided the votes into multiple smaller booths this time, so the process was smooth and brisk.

Bhailog
It appears as if everyone including my late Grand uncle' second wife's third brother's grandson (living in Germany) married to a Dutch-chinese women's granfather and his half Zulu and half Venezualan wife in South Africa is more worried about who the indians elect than the Indians themselves.
so lets take a bit of chill pill but do let all indians know what my Grand uncles nalayak potha (so called potha) is upto!! :rotfl:

vijayk ji,

Any preliminary read on the voting percentages .....


today is jumma so all the early voters would be the jihadis

when I went to vote at lunchtime, my usual choice of timing, we were in and out in less than a minute.

Overall Phase-2 has crossed 60% by 5 PM. Modi Ji tweeted that Phase-2 has gone great for BJP

I had a noob pooch. When people say (or even Modi Ji wants) that BJP will get more seats than in 2019, at a high level, what is the basis for this? Because as far as I can see, NDA maxed out in Maharashtra (41/48), Gujarat (26/26), Uttar Pradesh (62/80), Rajasthan (24/25), MP (28/29), Bihar (39/40), Jharkand (11/14) & Karnataka (25/28)

In WB, they did a commendable 18/42. Will they do any better this time?

TN *may* contribute a paltry 3 - 4 seats

Big States like Maharashtra dont seem as strong now as they were in 2019. Bihar seems much iffy than before due to Nitish's flip-flops and non-performance

So, where will BJP get those big wins which should firstly compensate for the losses they will face in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Bihar etc? Are they counting on making massive inroads into uncharted territory like AP, Telangana etc?

Ab Ki Baar, 400 Paar sounds good as a slogan. Does the math add up without making optimistic assumptions? In fact, I hope & pray that standalone BJP retains at least its 303 from 2019 and even if it drops, it does not drop to below 272

A_Gupta ji,


Even that pervez hoodbhoy is the same, and even he spent time in India like ahmed. In the end, their venal jihadi character always comes through, along with the ethnic covetousness and the ever present cultural grudges, which is a distinct abrahamic trait

They want India, the Indians, especially the Hindus to "forgive and forget" all the atrocities that the pakis have done, including things like 26/11, phulwama and pathankot, et al, but will keep shouting ghazwa e hind, at the drop of a hat

They have taken very serious umbrage to Jaishankhar saying at some public function the "one should never forgive nor forget" what the pakis have done

It all goes back to the self serving, devious and deceitful concept of a "forgiving and indulgent big brother, with a large heart" that is often thrust in your face by evil scum like shaheed afridi or shoaib akhtar many other such punks who hark back to the glory days of mahmoud ghazni.

First the pakis said "we will wrest cashmere from you by force" and when those miserable efforts failed because the "banias" buggered them in battle and that mirage quietly evaporated so now, they are now trying to get cashmere by other means. The major mistake that IG made was to let go the 93K paki POWS without getting an enforceable quid pro quo in writing in the form of a formal document witnessed by, say, someone from the UN, just like the IWT, which was brokered by the WB. Once that happened, the entire paki awam was and is convinced, especially the jernails and the "elites", that the Hindus are a forgiving lot and we can talk them into anything

They banked on Modi, thinking that the usual gambit of a "nobel" would work with him, like it almost worked with the raincoat and when that did not happen, confusing the amrikis, the euros, the britshits and most of all, the pakis they knew that they were dealing with a new species of Indian PM. The airstrike cooled everyone's ardour

Now they openly say that we cannot "negotiate" with Modi and we need to pray for a "better" leader .... but they also admit openly that they have never had/will never have a "leader like Modi" but they badly need a Modi to save their pustule of a country

That is exactly why "improving relations with the pakis" is part of the congi manifesto ..... pappu thinks that he should get the nobel

ukraine was just the icing on the cake and russian oil + weapons is the bright red cherry on top. The pakis are amazed that Modi has so adroitly managed to navigate the international minefield, and has still stayed friendly and relevant with almost all countries, even while taking the geopolitical stand that he has. Gaza has left Modi unfazed but he stays watchful.

With the pakis, it is one gigantic misstep after another, landing them ever deeper in the natural fertilizer and they are hoping that India will bail them out because of what they think of a foolish India as the "forgiving, forgetting, and affectionally indulgent big brother, with a large heart"

And the savage kick to the paki testimonials comes from the unopened gates at the attari border (wagah border to the phata pyjama pakis)

watch the videos of the paki and beedi common people, speaking to their own you tubers in their own countries .... apart from the extreme jealousy, the searing and corrosive envy, there is a resentful awareness that they have been bested and the self applied "tadka" or (“tempering”) of begrudging bitterness, hatred, and cultural ill will simply cannot be missed or even dismissed, and why should it :mrgreen:

One thinks that they are valorous and the other think themselves intellectual, while both are sure that they are superior beings to the inferior Hindus, but cannot explain why they are simply not doing as well in any field that they care to name, and besides both think it wise to identify themselves as "INDIANS" when they are in the west. .... This is an unmistakable sign that their addled brains are situated in their posteriors

Ask the jews about "forgetting" and see what happens

The entitled pakis want food from India, oil, fuel and gas and hence these numerous "trial balloons" from "business leaders" to start trade with India. They are obsessed with the abundant availability of these items across their border and salivate openly about the much lower prices

WTF makes these perfidious pakis think that India is going to trade with them

pervez hoodbhoy and ishtiaq ahmed have certainly been sent by the paki establishment using the good offices of a think tank(s)/FFNGO(s)with a brief, to test the waters, spy out the lay of the land and chalk out a via media but their bitterness seems to spring from the home truths that they may have been told.

Ahmed mentioned shivshankar menon and that obsequious congi controlled door mat gang, notorious for appeasement on an international scale

The pakis have admitted in many a fora that cashmere is a water dispute and not a religious one. In cashmere the abdullahs shout that the dispute is religious so that they can control the narrative as well as the water and electricity, mehbooba simply says make me the Padshah Begum (First lady) of the cashmeri empire and I will rule, and Modi's response was to insert art 370 in a cashmeri place where the sun don't shine and there the matter stands

There is no people to people contact nonsense as romanticized by the panju pakis.... They hate us and are very surprised when we are callously indifferent to their selfish overtures.

It has been a steep learning curve for India and now we know for sure that the ganga jamuni tehzeeb is just some hopeful weed smoking jihadi blowing smoke up your dhoti

It was exactly that sir... merely a slogan, to discourage complacency among the party cadre, and loyal voters. The top leadership must have already calculated, that with anti-incumbency factor, achieving 303 itself is a major task. Bills and decisions that are most challenging, RJB, 370, CAA have all been accomplished. UCC is already on its way. What else is left to achieve. The third term will simply be a silent march towards $10T economy, atmanirbharta and keeping the country secure from threats within and outside.

@chetak - Ishtiaq Ahmed has pretty much demolished Jinnah as he is understood in Pakistan and the basis for Partition in his recent books. So in that he has done a service.

Even in the attached video, he tells Durdana Najam that Indians have a basis for their hostility to Pakistan, e.g., Vajpayee was stabbed in the back by Pakis after he tried to improve relations. But yes, Ishtiaq Ahmed is ultimately part of the Leftist ecosystem. So, e.g, with FM Jaishankar's "never forget, never forgive", he fails to recognize that "forgive" e.g., for Mumbai 26/11 can happen only if all the masterminds of that attack are punished; and "forget" will be never. Further, if Pakistan does not yield up the perpetrators for punishment and they all vanish due to old age, India cannot forgive, because Pakistan will not have actively changed its mindset and strategy.

IMO, we should take what is useful and valuable from Hoodbhoy and Ahmed and so on, which is their knowledge of their country, and discard the rest or ignore it.

IMO, we should take what is useful and valuable from Hoodbhoy and Ahmed and so on, which is their knowledge of their country, and discard the rest or ignore it.

A_Gupta ji,

jinnah was an paki army/ISI project given to and completed by ayesha jalal to whitewash and glorify the pork eating, tarra guzzling, and tobacco smoking national papa of the pakis. jalal sanitized him completely, but later fell out with the paki army on another book that she wrote and ran away to britshitland for safety. She is married to a bengali Indian who hates India. Birds of a feather

at the same time the paki army cut down fatima jinnah to size, because they did not want to see her rise

The pakis try to "manage" India like they "managed" the amrikis for tens of decades, especially when the pakis want something big from India, like including paki players in the IPL or handing over cashmere or even the 93K prisoners of war that IG foolishly and "large heartedly" gifted away, as if it were her personal property, or like now where they want to "restart" trade with India. I am very sure that "restarting trade" would been very high on the agenda of both pervez hoodbhoy and ishtiaq ahmed during their apparently innocent India sojourns

If one is not mistaken ishtiaq ahmed wrote his books when he was safe in sweden, holding a swedish passport

Ishtiaq Ahmed is a Swedish political scientist and author of Pakistani descent. He holds a PhD in Political Science from Stockholm University. He is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Stockholm University

there would have been a obscure shooting beside some lonely canal on a dark paki night, had ahmed been a resident paki citizen, but any harm befalling ahmed in pakiland now will seriously jeopardise all hopes of future IMF/WB loans, so he is safe for the time being

jinnah's antecedents are well known in India. there is nothing new in ahmed's book for an Indian audience

hoodbhoy may be a paki celebrity, but in India guys like him are a dime a dozen. In short, there is nothing very useful to be gained from either of them

IMVHO, there is nothing remarkable about both these jihadis

I guess she is irrelevant now.. how the mighty have fallen.
Oh she is doing several on her own YT channel. Unfortunately I saw her interview Annamalai ji (who was excellent as usual but perhaps unaware of her legendary panauti). Now I am worried about his chances.

I had a noob pooch. When people say (or even Modi Ji wants) that BJP will get more seats than in 2019, at a high level, what is the basis for this? Because as far as I can see, NDA maxed out in Maharashtra (41/48), Gujarat (26/26), Uttar Pradesh (62/80), Rajasthan (24/25), MP (28/29), Bihar (39/40), Jharkand (11/14) & Karnataka (25/28)

In WB, they did a commendable 18/42. Will they do any better this time?

TN *may* contribute a paltry 3 - 4 seats

Big States like Maharashtra dont seem as strong now as they were in 2019. Bihar seems much iffy than before due to Nitish's flip-flops and non-performance

So, where will BJP get those big wins which should firstly compensate for the losses they will face in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Bihar etc? Are they counting on making massive inroads into uncharted territory like AP, Telangana etc?

Ab Ki Baar, 400 Paar sounds good as a slogan. Does the math add up without making optimistic assumptions? In fact, I hope & pray that standalone BJP retains at least its 303 from 2019 and even if it drops, it does not drop to below 272
Atleast 10 - 15 in UP
15+ in AP
4-5 in Telengana
3-10 in Tamil Nadu
2-3 in Kerala
5-10 in West Bengal

Best case Scenario with the above would be about 60 extra seats.

@chetak, on this one point, I disagree. Well-known to most, but apparently not to the Leftist-Marxist ecosystem. It is very good to refute them with a Pakistani author -- their usual charge of "hindutva fanaticism" doesn't get even an inch.

If you take a look at the Map of 2019 Election, it was still a massive win. So I will be happy if NDA makes that number. However, leaders set goals which will challenge the status quo and hence this new 400 number. My calculation will be (353 - 5) (2019 seats) + 10 (AP) + 5 (TEL) + 5 TN + 5 (WB) + 5 (North East) + 2 (Goa) + 2 (KL) + 2 (Odisha) + 6 (UP) = 390

For me if we get to the above number, NDA has got a massive mandate and BJP has got a firm foot hold in TN and KL to build further.

400 number could give some Lefty Media talking points when NDA could not make that and they continue with their delusion of them having some influence in NDA not achieving that target. While the others move on to Modi 3.0. What I would expect is that the vote share should increase from ~ 45% to 50%

Rangaraj Pandey, a centrist journo in TN with a good track record and ground-level visibility gives the BJP alone 330+ seats this time around (NDA would be more, of course). He says 400 is difficult to achieve, but 330 is very much possible.

In TN, he has said the UPA will win 30+ seats (total 39) thanks to the split between BJP and AIADMK, and the NDA may get 1-5 seats depending on last minute swings, but their vote share will strongly breach 20% and maybe even pull ahead of AIADMK to become the second largest party in TN. In terms of TN politics, that's a tectonic shift even if it doesn't yield seats at this point, since it would put BJP and it's alliance partners in pole position for the 2026 assembly elections which the DMK will surely lose.

A lot of this info is gleaned from his Youtube news channel called Chanaykaa.

P.S. Had the AIADMK been part of NDA, they would have swept at least 15 seats, maybe even 20.

Pandey made many predictions for last assembly elections and they did not come true. Not even close. So please take what he says with a grain of salt. And he is not a centrist journo - he was a AIADMK supporter and now a BJP supporter.

Have been talking to bunch of contacts in India, some people are less enthusiastic compared to 2019. Mostly because they think that Modi will definitely come back so they are complacent, some are planning long weekend trips etc.

Have been calling and telling folks why we need Modi back (This is compiled by me, feel free to distribute or give feedback):

1) Economic rise of India to 3rd place & stature in the world

2) Unambiguous, Independent, Pro India Foreign policy and diplomacy

3) Rapid Infrastructure growth -- Airports, Roads/Expressways, Sea Ports, Trains, Bridges etc

4) Steady modernization of armed forces, military infrastructure along border & rapid indigenization of space & military technology

5) Solid foundation towards a Product based economy

6) Solid foundation for manufacturing sector

7) Greater push in College & University level education -- more NITs, AIIMS, IIMs & IITs

8 ) Digitization of different sphere's of life beyond payments

9) Maintaining Internal security & territorial integrity, proactive mitigation/elimination of external threats

10) Preserving and promoting our dharmic culture, heritage & true history

11) Uniform Civil Code

12) CAA

13) Achieving social cohesion/Integration amongst Dharmics in particular and Indians at large with Idea of India that is Bharat based on Dharmic ethos

14) Continued Delivery of welfare schemes directly to individual citizens

15) Stand up to China and be able to compete


For all of this to happen India needs a stable govt with more than full majority under a capable leader like Narendra Modi. Till these goals are not achieved one has zero chance to be complacent. Any loss in central election of dharmics will be a civilizational setback. We are not a poodle nation where headless/unstable/wishy washhy coalition govt would do. Our destiny is to become an Independent pole in the world like US, China, Russia and France.

That is what should be our goal and not simply electing Modi. Modi should be elected because he is best choice for achieving this specific goal and all other 15 goals. In my humble opinion, I do feel one thing instead of 400 paar this should have been thrust of BJP/NDA's & PM Modi's election pitch. Dharmics need to be kept on their toes. Last time opposition did blunder of asking for proof of Balakot etc.. this time there is no such thing. TSP is also sitting quiet trying to see if BJP is defeated, it will be back to it's antics once INDIA alliance is in power and we will be back to dossier exchange with TSP.
