Nothing fishy. We forget that parties exist for people and not the other way around. Those of us who live outside UP had no idea about the anti-incumbency wave, but talk to someone in UP even before the results and it becomes obvious. Credit is due where it is due, INC/SP got their caste arithmetic spot on. BJP MPs were MIA just like in other states hoping Modi will help them win again. Smriti Irani, who won by 50k votes in 2019, was doing video campaigning where was Priyanka was hitting towns and villages in person. Then there is the excellent social media management by Congress. True or false they spun a narrative the last couple of years that Modi/Shah want to cut Yogi down few notches, this was exacerbated by the fact that Yogi's 30+ candidates were rejected by Nadda and Shah (reported by many media outlets and not just youtubias).Aditya_V wrote: ↑05 Jun 2024 17:37 Looking at UP some really professional intelligence agency level psy ops was done to make sure if BJP wins reservation ends directly to smartphones, looking at Rahul late entry into Rae Bareli, I feel this was distinct possibility, with the general 400 plus discussion and bombarding information that if BJP gets 400 Reservation ends , probably clinched Purvanchal for SP and INC around 20-25 seats.
The proof of this would be Rahul quitting Wayanad seat, as logically he can quit Rae Bareli, give it to his sister and they can represent North and South. People like Ajai Rai and rest of INC riff raff getting soo many votes really looks fishy.
The massive defeat in Ayodhya, Mathura and Amethi should give a clue how poor the performance of MPs were and how strong was the anti-incumbency. In Ayodhya, Congress/SaPa completely negated the Ram Mandir "feel good" factor by highlighting the plight of those who lost their homes and businesses to demolishment drive but did not receive adequate compensation. Considering the incompetent, corrupt MPs, wrong candidate selection, wrong caste calculation etc its a miracle BJP ended with 30+ seats in UP. That said if there is a assembly election held there tomorrow, i wouldnt be too surprised if Yogi comes roaring back to power.
RaGa must be kicking himself for not running from Amethi because he could have won with an even bigger margin. BJP now has to redo all the work going back to 2010 when Amit Shah rejuvenated the UP BJP during his "tadi par" years.
While many of us were complaining about the govt not doing the long overdue census, in a way its good considering delineation could have given UPA a majority given their performance in northern states.
If JP Nadda remains as the national president even after this then there's not much to say. The party just has 3 months before Maharashtra, Haryana and Jharkhand goes to polls, there is not a minute to lose.
of this on BRF in the last couple of days.
. Along with tangible benefits, religious stuff can be introduced.
