Bharat Rakshak

As far as issues are concerned, the Opposition alliance is convinced that the State government’s attempt to tweak Section 21 of the Chotanagpur Tenancy (CNT) Act and Section 13 of the Santhal Pargana Tenancy (SPT) Act, enabling use of agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes, would electorally backfire on the BJP.

Watch the fun in Nov. Raj is occupying position of BJP’s principal opponent without having a single MLA

Lazy Congis.

Massive meltdown for the opposition has begun everywhere. Karyakartas are abandoning posts, booth level infrastructure is vanishing, opposition leaders have stopped spending money. Sympathietic (to opposition) local reporters have gone into slumber!

Just entering wave territory

Our reading suggests that most of the opposition is stunned because they expected MGB in UP, TMC in Bengal and INC-JDS in Karnataka to perform well in first 3 phases.
Nobody (including us) expected BJP to crush the entire opposition so strongly in these 3 states

Gandhi-Vadra Party Circuit

While Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been sweating it out and his 'Chanakya' Amit Shah has been planning booth level organisation of cadres ahead of every phase of polling, it was really surprising to learn that the night before the crucial third phase of polls, some people spotted Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and her husband Robert Vadra at a plush five-star hotel’s terrace bar. At a time when the speculation over Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's likely candidature from Varanasi to take on Modi in the election bout was peaking, the buzz in Lutyen’s Delhi began about whether the scions of the Grand Old Party really had the fire in their bellies to take on the meticulous, election-winning machinery of the Modi-Shah duo. While the BJP was planning its booth circuit, the Vadras were more worried about their party circuit.


Witty Prime Minister

During an interview that Prime Minister was doing with a leading channel, the interview was interrupted in between, only because after a walking interview, when the PM came and sat down on some garden chairs, the sunlight hit his eyes and spectacles directly. The PM raised his hand and asked for a cut. Soon after the crew wanted to adjust his chair so that he would be moved a little into the shade of a tree. When the cameraperson stood beside his chair, Modi looked up and said “Kya chahiye, bhai?” The cameraperson sheepishly said, "Sir, if you stand up, I need to shift your chair." Pat comes the witty response from the Prime Minister: "Bhai, main akela Prime Minister hoon jiski kursi koi bhi kheench sakta hai!!” The entire crew was left floored!!!

Bolein Taare

A close friend of Prime Minister Narendra Modi recalled the 2006 visit of the then Chief Minister of Gujarat to the Ashram of Satya Sai Baba of Puttaparthi fame. Just as Modi was walking up to the revered soul, the latter's assistant whispered into his ears that this is the Chief Minister of Gujarat. Sai Baba folded his hands and said “Namaste, Prime Minister”. His embarrassed assistant whispered again in his ears that this wasn’t the Prime Minister but the Chief Minister of Gujarat. Unfazed, Sai Baba said, “I know, but when I will not be around, this man will be Prime Minister.” But this was not the only bhavishyavaani. A few years later a renowned astrologer from Kerala (Panicker by name) had prophecised that the Chandrama dasha for Modi begins from 2013-end and will last 10 years. Which means Modi will remain PM till 2024. Is this the reason for Modi’s supreme confidence about a second term?

Fund-drought in Congress

Congress Insiders have their shoulders slumped after the third phase of polling. After Prime Minister Modi’s blitzkrieg in Varanasi, the buzz is that the Congress has given up the fight. The reports from within the battleground states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka are less than promising about a bounty of seats for the Congress Party. And after much speculation when Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also chickened out of a fight in the elections, the Congress seems to have lost its nerve. The latest is that in the remaining phases of polls, the Congress has now pulled back on releasing funds for its candidates. Candidates have been asked to generate funds from their own resources and not depend on central funding from the party. Has Congress conceded defeat even before May 23?

Without doubt the GREATEST sporting dynasty the world has ever seen. India is truly blessed. (List first complied by @rvaidya2000)

And this interview was no soft ball back and forth. Rahul Kanwal challenged ModiJi on many of ModiJi haters' pet peeves, failure of demo, GST, farmers, jobs etc. And ModiJi answered the questions as best as he could. His haters will not like his answers, but at least he took the questions. Then those 2 ladies, Anjana Kashyab, and I forget the other lady's name, both were respectful but forceful in their questioning. Burka Bibi must be seething with jealous that she didn't get to do the interview.

And I am a bit Hindi challenged, but ModiJi's sense of humor is cutting edge. The last bit is worth watching where he cuts a joke on what SM will say about the interview with the 3 journos. Even I burst into laughter .

Can't imagine Pappu or any of the thugbandhan 'leaders' even coming close to such mastery over various issues, much less sense of humor.

As India is in the throes of its 2019 general election, the mood of discontent in the current social, economic and political climate across the nation is seeing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu Nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the brink of collapse.

A significant majority of the electorate is voting for the Government’s leading Opposition party, the Indian National Congress (INC), whose leader, 48-year-old Rahul Gandhi, is witnessing a remarkable surge in popularity.

None of these countries are known for diversity. US tolerates diversity for strategic reasons but doesn't believe in it. In US token diversity ends after putting check marks for African Americans, LGBTQ and now Muslims. It never extends to accommodate to the level of vegetarian Hindus. Forget about breaking the glass ceilings of corporate and political structures, wake me up when they bring me vegetarian food to the level of making sure that it's satvik like they do for Jewish and Muslims with kosher. We all know how Tulsi Gabbard gets treated in US and she's not even topical brown Hindu. Let see how these countries behave when their cores are asked to take the back seat in the name of diversity like being asked of Hindus in their own civilizational land.

Congress is a feudal system ran by Nehru clan where there's no diversity. Forget about allowing opposition to flourish, congress doesn't allow flourishing within their own party. We all know about Shashtri and PVNR and how they became PM and it wasn't because of flourishing within the party. When party itself doesn't believe in diversity, how's that going to bring diversity elsewhere. And transplanting rohingyas in Hindu backyards as landmines is not what I call diversity. Congress diversity plan doesn't include RSS and Hindus in the Hindu land itself.

Any given day BJP is generations ahead in providing diversity. They have chaiwalla who flourished within the party and became PM. I don't see founding or senior members' family running the party as a feudal system.

Medium, eh? An article like this will be used later to discredit the elections. "See, we predicted a different result", blah, blah. Never mind that this lady has no idea about the ground reality, but a gora publication has called a result, so we must follow the guidance onlee.

Btw, vimal-ji, thanks for sharing this article. We need to know what others think of the election, so we can expect what's to come down the line.

Towards the end of the LKA and his lootyens pasand associates ( mentioned solely with tribal association connotations) era, Modi flourished in spite of the party.

I shudder to think what would have happened to India had LKA and his lootyens pasand associates come to power instead of Modi.
