@nisheethsharan
Just had a detailed discussion with an Electoral Wizard who was part of Delhi planning.
Lets call him YR.
According to YR the gameplan was restricted to 45 seats.
BJP may lose some seats with huge margins, but will win many with 1K-3K margins.
YR is confident of 38 seats for BJP.

Re: 2020 Strategic and Political Analysis-1
I dont see much possibility of BJP winning, even with theories of late surge in voting etc. And while that is slightly disheartening, lets not lose our minds over half a state. There is distinction in local and central elections and Modi Shah juggernaut will keep moving, i have little doubt about that.
Yes liberandus will be ecstatic for a few days and yes the complacency and inability of most Hindus to see bigger picture is a huge concern, but let that not affect us in what we strive for. This we should learn from the liberandus. No matter how big the defeat, they are always only down but not out.

BJP losing Delhi will be just punishment for shameless attempt to divide and rule
It horrified me to hear senior BJP leaders like Yogi Adityanath make the word ‘biryani’ a term of abuse and to hear other BJP leaders speak of this election as a choice between ‘India and Pakistan’. Horrified to hear a minister in the government of India urge his audience to ‘shoot traitors’ and to hear Home Minister Amit Shah say at a public rally that he wanted voters to press so hard on the ‘button’ that registered their vote that it would send a shock all the way to Shaheen Bagh.
Had he bothered instead to actually go and talk to the women in Shaheen Bagh, he would have discovered that they are not Pakistanis or traitors.
All they want from him is an assurance that he will not implement, as he has threatened more than once, a nationwide National Register of Citizens (NRC).
Sadly, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, instead of controlling his troops, has actually encouraged them. Last week in the Lok Sabha, he accused opposition leaders of spreading lies about the new citizenship law. And, during the campaign for Delhi, he said much too often that he saw in the Shaheen Bagh protest a sinister attempt to spread anarchy in India.
If he examines the protests without prejudice, he will discover that the protesters have genuine fears that if an NRC is held, they will be unable to produce the documents that prove that they are Indian. He may also discover that their fears have been exacerbated by the sort of speeches that were made by BJP leaders during the election campaign for Delhi.

A possible MKVenu response. Don't be nitpicking. The reference to former Delhi CM is 'metaphorical'. It might have been a former CM not necessarily Delhi. He might not have been a CM either or even a congressman.pankajs wrote:This is how narrative is sought to be created, sometimes quoting imaginary people, some times imaginary conversations, sometimes quoting even dead people!

Problem is the only former CM of Delhi from CON is DEAD. How did he ring her up?
Re: 2020 Strategic and Political Analysis-1
Very well put. It is the basic ideas behind the CAA which are a big problem to Seculars and also peacefuls. They can not admit the reality of the sufferings of the Hindus in Islamic nations in our borders. If they do then they will be asked why they are not being critical of that. They can not do that and still have aman ki asha cocktail parties in gora lands etc. They can not write articles critical of BJP in WoPo etc if they are critical of Islam even indirectly. Their entire earning model will be hit for a six if they do.

Calling Kejriwal a terrorist might've been a bit too much though. Of course shaheen bagh is a jihadi nest and attacking that is just fine, but most Indian electorate is emotional and doesn't get nuance and media highlights even minor slip ups of BJP. Add to it the fact that most Hindus wont care until the fire reaches their home, BJP was always fighting a losing game here. Hats off to their fighting spirit and getting Hindu causes done despite little actual electoral benefits. Lets keep supporting them and ignoring dhritarashtras like Tavleen.

The fact of support to Paki views by PAAPis and AK47 is well known. The funding and other details of the creation of this group was done by BIF. He was supported by INC from the day of its creation. INC never fought the election seriously in 2015. There is no explanation for the lacklustre effort they are putting up even this elections. What other explanation we can give for these actions of INC other than PAAPis are their B team? One defeat of PAAPis will destroy their power to a large extent. A very big section of MSM is being funded by Delhi State advertisements. The MSM then supports INC and it BIF teams.

Hindustan Construction lenders to restructure debt
MUMBAI:, July 13, 2016 23:45 IST
Mumbai : Ajit Gulabchand, Chairman of Hindustan Construction Company (HCC), addressing a press conference on Lavasa issue in Mumbai on Friday. PTI Photo by Vishal Kelkar(PTI1_21_2011_000074A)
A consortium of 27 lenders led by ICICI Bank have decided to restructure more than Rs.2,000 crore worth of debts of infrastructure major Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) — one of the first instances where the ‘Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets’ or S4A has been invoked has since it was introduced by Reserve Bank of India on June 13.[..]
Billionaire Ajit Gulabchand's folly Lavasa turns into a nightmare for Indian bankers
Last Updated: Jun 19, 2018, 05.39 PM IST
The days of zero crime are over. Garbage collection is sporadic, so litter soils the man-made lake. Storefronts are vacant. Signs of neglect are everywhere: maintenance is late or nonexistent. And that’s for the construction already done. For the unfinished building works—i.e. most of it—there is little happening.
Two decades ago, then-billionaire Ajit Gulabchand envisioned something very different: a city called Lavasa, modeled on the cotton-candy harbor of Italy’s Portofino, a four-hour drive from the slums and pollution that pervade so much of India’s financial capital of Mumbai. To deliver that dream, he hired the architects at HOK, creators of LaGuardia’s Airport Central Terminal B in New York and the Barclays world headquarters in London. Design awards and global news coverage followed.[..]
Lavasa was conceived by Gulabchand as India’s first private hill city in 2000, following similar private developments in the U.S. like Seaside, Florida, or the Disney development of Celebration. Now the unit of his Hindustan Construction Ltd. is struggling to repay its 41.5 billion rupees ($610 million) of debt, leaving the township to slowly slip into disrepair. Neglect has taken the Mediterranean sheen off once-bright red and yellow buildings. The cobblestone streets and stone bridges are growing moss. Sidewalks are crumbling in places.[..]
It may not be easy to find the right suitor for Lavasa considering the cost involved. Reviving the project would require as much as 100 billion rupees ($1.5 billion) just to start with, Gulabchand estimates.[..]

Just noticed: @ 1:09:42 >> Modi says that GOI has used the NPR data collected by UPA and update in 2015 for RM Aawas yogna and Direct benefit transfer like schemes to benefit/Cover the left out folks (Left out of what ???).
Note:
1. NPR already being used for beneficiary validation!
I was under the impression that NPR to subsidy/benefit will happen over time in the future.
2. The press reports always suggested that Aadhar was the basis of state subsidy/benefit. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the validation is either/or and NPR, whatever has been collected, has been seeded with Aadhar.
3. The only thing to do is to get the missing population into the NPR database and make it the sole identity for the purpose of state subsidy/benefits.
@ 1:10:20 >> Modi says that by opposing NPR you are depriving crores of poor people form availing state subsidy/benefits.
1. Signal that NPR identity will be the sole for the purpose of availing state subsidy/benefits.
2. Will Modi make the opposition to NPR == Anti-poor stand?
Added Later: Why is the GOI hellbent on creating a duplicate database to Aadhar when it would be much easy to update Aadhar in theory? Easy to guess the reason if you have followed the Aadhar debate with any interest.
Context: IIRC, Aadhar has 90+% coverage compared to ~60% coverage for NPR and therefore logical to push for Aadhar update if one doesn't understand the Aadhar debate.

CP Joshi joins the long list of Congress leaders who have voiced their support for the CAA in a sharp departure from the position held by the Gandhis. Does this point to growing disenchantment with the Gandhi brand of politics within Congress? When will they grow a spine to snap?

Bitter critic of BJP understands BJP politics better than some so called "Hard core" BJP supporters who shit bricks at the first wiff of a minor setback.
OTOH, I disagree with him at another level. BJP did not polarize the elections but the opposition did by creating the Tauheen bagh spectacle. They setup a clash between the BJP and the Muslims and were waiting in the wings with cameras and records like a vulture to feast on the aftermath.
All Modi/BJP did was to side-step landmine and allow the spectacle to continue and in the process morph into a anti-Hindu gathering that became the focus of the country and thus polarized the rest of the electorate. BJP mean while collected all the photos and clips of the obnoxious slogans, etc to be used in future campaigns.

Serious point: the ideological hegemony, and the polarization is real and has national implications: Kejriwal avoided virtually all *Muslim* constituencies, and carefully avoided any ideological arguments. A local election doesn’t change that.
and for GE 2024!BJP was making the arguments in Delhi but fighting the future elections in Bihar and Bengal......

Some who were celebrating Modi in 2014, now saying likely defeat of BJP in Delhi is the defeat of Hindutva politics in India. Pure Nonsense.
1. AAP has NOT challenged BJP on Hindutva
2. AAP has NOT challenged Modi's Leadership
3. AAP has NOT gone to JNU, Jamia or Shaheenbagh.
Some very pathological haters of Modi/BJP/Hindus, are at times, able to draw some right conclusions, even while some of Modi/BJP's hardcore supporters are overtaken by fear at a minor setback!Yashwant Deshmukh @YRDeshmukh
There you see. Even the most rabidly biased minds are capable of saying some objective things on rare occasions.
Kujli did NOT challenge Modi/BJP on Sickularism or Modi's record of omissions/commissions from their pov or take Modi head-on on CAA/NPR/NRC or on JNU/Jamia/Tauheen bagh!!!
Kujli ran away from all such confrontation and he might just retain his CMship i.e. to say, Modi will WIN even when Kujli becomes the CM of Delhi because, in the view of the sickulars of India, Modi made Kujli abandon his principles to win!

Re: 2020 Strategic and Political Analysis-1
If we see caste wise polling data on Delhi (by Axis), the sudden surge late in the day is not going to make any difference.

Push and pull of politics but the sootradhaar behind Raj is more likely to be Pawarful given how much play this rally is getting in Marathi media as per media watchers. The Marathi media is Pawarful allies and do his bidding.Milind Khandekar @milindkhandekar

At the beginning of their rise khujli and sisodia had Bharat Mata picture removed from Anna Hazare 'anti corruption protest'. By making that same khujli recite Hanuman chalisa and visit Temple is INDEED FORCING HIM TO ABANDON HIS PRINCIPLES. BIG VICTORY!

Okay so @ECISVEEP has given the final Voter turnout at 62.59%
At 3:30PM voting was just 40.51%
So 22% voting happened after rhe time most of pollsters had collated their data!
Assuming most of BJP voters came after 3PM to vote bcoz of match, it wud be safe to predict a BJP win!

Just an example of how filthy garbage BIF forces work ... Tell how bad economy is before elections and then slowly change the tune
https://theprint.in/opinion/modi-hasnt- ... ts/361623/
Modi hasn’t done so badly on the economy. But more needs to be done on many fronts
Modi & his Cabinet need to get over their hostility to criticism, and frontally address the jobs problem as it is central to tackling the growing inequality.
Before going further, it is worth noting the socioeconomic changes that Mr Modi has wrought: Dramatic improvements in access to financial services, clean cooking fuel, toilets, electricity, digital transactions, and now free medical insurance, not to mention cash handouts for farmers. In addition, as Sitharaman mentioned, macro-economic balances are comfortable, including on core inflation. Her reference to the fiscal challenge fell short of an explanation and therefore offered no answers. Still, the transport infrastructure has improved, as has the digital one. There is striking growth in data consumption, and improved access to higher education. In another few years the metrics on all of the above should improve further. Many lives are being transformed.
Modi’s critics often fail to acknowledge these changes and their importance. This may well be because the failures are both manifest and urgent: The worsening picture on employment, the loss of momentum in consumption, its downstream impact on investment, the stagnation in exports, legislative inaction on key aspects of policy reform, the many challenges confronting farmers, and much else. To that list you could add the fear factor and institutional erosion.
Modi and his Cabinet colleagues need to get over their hostility to any and all criticism on such issues, and frontally address the jobs problem because it is central to tackling the growing inequality and uneven sharing of the benefits of growth. Sitharaman has tried to address some of these in her speech, but the general impact after 160 minutes has been underwhelming. More needs to be done on more fronts, and sometimes differently, than is now the case. If that effort is mounted and growth revives, the Modi government’s economic record could still shine. If not, the next phase of rapid growth will be some time coming.
Re: 2020 Strategic and Political Analysis-1
The voting percentage numbers have a lag. It would be more than what was displayed on the EC website at that time. It would be more than 40% by 3:30. But look at the caste wise polling I have posted above. That picture is scary. It actually gives a higher percentage of total votes to AAP than in 2015 and BJP is not even able to hold on to its share. I just hope those numbers are wrong.
Re: 2020 Strategic and Political Analysis-1
Respectfully disagree. The narrative BIF spokeswomen like Burka bibi are spinning as follows:pankajs wrote: Modi will WIN even when Kujli becomes the CM of Delhi because, in the view of the sickulars of India, Modi made Kujli abandon his principles to win!
1. Crazy’s temple visits are ‘mainstream’ Hindu in contrast to BJP’s ‘aggressive Hinduthva’ which Delhites supposedly rejected if as expected crazy canters home comfortably
2. Crazy was actually pro Shaheen Bagh because by staying away, he did not get into a dog fight with BJP therby highlighting his development agenda which Delhites allegedly supported
3. Crazy’s support base cuts across religious lines
I expect her to pen a WP propaganda op-ed along these lines post Feb 11.
Finally, I don’t want to get on your nerves, and lets agree to disagree, but a BJP whitewash as predicted by India Today Axis exit poll will surely energize BIF IMO.
Even if BJP does not win, they should at least get 25 ofd seats to show BIF that there is price to pay electorally for their break India machinations

Exit poll says AAP is winning Delhi.
But...
Amit shah says BJP will win 45+ seats.
Manoj Tiwari says BJP will win 48 seats.
ECI not declaring final voter turnout.
What's cooking?
Re: 2020 Strategic and Political Analysis-1
no matter what is the surge, it is very difficult numbers will be skewed so much in the end.
Last election, CON made all vote transfer to AAP at the end.
This year if BJP sensing it waiting till the end to bring their vote bank and got 80% in the last 2 hours may be a great paper idea but doubt it.

looks like the people who may not have otherwise voted for various reasons may have been contacted by the karyakarthas to urge them to go and vote.
These are booth management guys who know the families who would be voting in their booths and all it needs is a physical check for the inked finger.
The BJPs booth management is awesome in the sense that they activate more than a month before any other party does and they are local guys from the mohallas. They are constantly in touch with their voters and actively trying to convert the fence sitters.
Don't go by what any party says. In every case where the BJP has not done well, its only the bhaktas who are surprised and disappointed at the results. The BJP always knows that they either have or do not have the firepower to win and they are always aware of the ground realities before the elections actually take place and yet, win or lose, they fight like it is a matter of life and death.
That is AS and NM for you.
In the earlier days we had the BJP leadership hobnobbing with the lootyens liberandus and treating elections like it was a friendly game of neighborhood cricket on a warm and lazy sunday.
Re: 2020 Strategic and Political Analysis-1
BJP should have announced a CM face. I don't like the idea of keeping it secret and then springing a surprise after election. Same with a PM face. People need to know who their leader would be. Last them they picked an unpopular leader. It's possible they don't have any good leaders in Dilli and would parachute someone in. Gambhir is too young and too hot headed, he needs to calm down and show his capability before he can be the face.

I want to be pleasantly surprised. Praying for that.
If there is a surprise, expect Burkha to every mad dog BIF rep, crapping all onver in NYT/WaPo/BBC how EVMs have been rigged
