Prime Minister Modi Has Relieved Women Of Their Daily Routine Worries
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s popularity among women voters is a reflection of his successful government policies. In addition, it underscores his ability to tailor successful policies which are based on his insights into social issues. His immense knowledge of problems faced by the general public come from the lived experiences gathered while working as a swayamsevak across the country over several decades.

As we celebrate International Women’s Day, it’s worth keeping in mind that when Narendra Modi announced that the government would build crores of toilets to end open defecation, protecting the dignity of women was at the heart of it.

As of today, over 11 crore household toilets have been constructed. Imagine the relief for the women who had to, for decades, subject themselves to bodily torture for a basic and routine function, keeping an eye on the clock until dusk to leave the house, risking embarrassment and physical harm.

In a similar vein, the impact of 9 crore cooking gas connections on the lives of women cannot be overstated. During the past six years, the Ujjwala Yojana has ensured that women living below the poverty line are no longer dependent on hazardous firewood for cooking. The smoke-free kitchens have afforded a cleaner and healthier life that has also led to savings on healthcare in the long run. Women are now also free from the tedium of having to collect firewood.

Policymakers have been aware of these problems for decades but it took Modi to finally deliver a solution to the people. These schemes have gone along way in redressing the injustice perpetrated against the poor, and women in particular, in the country.

UP Exit Polls: Among Women Voters, 16 Percentage Point Gap Between BJP And SP, Predicts Axis-MyIndia
The Axis-MyIndia exit poll for Uttar Pradesh, broadcast by the India Today group, has predicted a 16 percentage point gap between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Samajwadi Party (SP) among women voters.

According to the exit poll, the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP is likely to get around 48 per cent of the female votes in the state, while the Akhilesh Yadav-led SP may receive only 32 per cent share of female votes.

"If these numbers are true — 48 vs 32 gap among women voters — this would be the highest gender gap anywhere in the country," Rahul Verma of the Center for Policy Research said during the panel discussion on India Today as the numbers were released, adding, "Even [West Bengal Chief Minister] Mamata [Banerjee] had only 6 to 8 point advantage."

I am proposing to identify the toolkit that deviant state govts are using against the GoI, please add as necessary
1. Blame Centre for lack of implementation of schemes --- ohhh hyd/chn contributes somany billions of $$ to the economy but gets only this much
2. Create a rift between telugu/tamil/*you name it* and the yeevil hindi people
3. Do not say anything against minorities
4. Flout all constitutional conventions(not rules) -- dont let Governor speak, dont invite the governor, etc
5. Take away CBI's authority in the state
6. Create riots on some law, use local media and then show chaos and anarchy - all along dont use force
7. Create secessionist talk through memes
8. Harass migrant labourers
9. *fill your religion* khatre mein hai
10. Create fake surveys, give the results wide coverage and show central Govt is yeevil
11. Oppose central projects with frivolous objections
12. Make inordinate demands on centre 3000 tons of O2 needed
13. Pass laws that are untenable and blame GoI, Governor, Supreme court etc

I said the same thing a few weeks ago on the assembly 2022 thread. This UP election will be decided by the women and dalit voters. These are the two groups are the most positively affected by the improved law and order and social schemes. Upper caste and other groups are too full of themselves.

the evaporation of the presidential, veepee and pee emm ambitions of the many put to pasture war horses and the emergence of a potential new leader to lead the fight against Modi in 2024 will cause resentment the regional satraps

mahamafia agadi will be understandably apprehensive now, especially after fadnavis made public those sting videos, (many many tens of hours worth) in the assembly.

Hope BJP won't fall for rhetoric that 2024 is a cakewalk.
BJP lost MP/CG/RJ three months before 2019 but won GE.

KCR/Mamta/Pawar/Kujli/Stalin will redouble efforts to unleash mayhem.

It is South vs North, Caste divisions, UC vs OBC ... Hell hath no fury like scorned politicians
I think the plan is to use PAPPU to openly divide and be the idiot on the front abusing India/Indians/Hindus and encourage minority hatred of Hindus and Kujli to be the soft face abusing Modi over economy, lack of jobs and play soft hindutva to CON Hindus. Kujli will be first one to visit Ayodhya in 2023


Racists/Jihadis/BIF/Soros/Missionary forces will unload all their funds/tricks with help of Twitter/Instagram and woke crowds.

Expect more Harvard chootiyas, RR kind of idiots, WaSHI(T)NGTON post, Nazi Times to spewing crap from every hole they have.

Remember they will have rabid WOKE CJI whose mind is in La La land of America. He does not believe in Indian constitution.

BJP has to keep the infra, digitization, managing economy/exports on one hand but use global anarchy to show how anarchists like Kujli can be dangerous. Also proactively create divisions in MH, PJ, WB to weaken BIF.

We also need a massive youth programs to distract them from BIF woke ideology unleashed via Netflix, Instagram, TikTok kind of channels.

The Obvious And Not-So-Obvious: Top 10 Takeaways From Counting Day
9. The reverses and scares that the BJP is facing in urban Uttar Pradesh seems to suggest that middle-class urban voter has her share of complaints with the BJP. While the state administration covered all bases in protecting the most vulnerable sections of the population from the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath, there is a possibility that the urban middle-class felt neglected in comparison.

10. The Congress is so irrelevant that we've come to the end of this piece and it is only now that I remembered that the party was also in the contest in the five states.

The party has taken a dangerous turn in the last two-three months. Maybe we have to wait for Rahul Gandhi's next speech in Parliament to know if the Congress has doubled down on that approach, or gone in for course correction

The topic of UP and development reminded me of this post in 2019.

Development is a broad term. It can focus upon things with little electoral dividends for a while, e.g. arterial highway building or capital investments in building HVDC electricity lines. These do not get votes, mainly because they're far from the end user for most of the poor. They cost a lot, take a lot of time and their electoral benefits are very trickle down.

However, they are necessary, and they take time to invest in. That time and investment yields no immediate electoral benefit, which is why India long underinvested in those things. So 'development' needed an alternative set of ideas that yield immediate gains but don't necessarily cost a lot, even if they take a lot of effort to do regardless.

What Modi understands well is that there's an enormous number of deliverables at the 'last mile' that can dramatically improve the lot of the poor. He focused on those. Swacch Bharat Mission, Saubhagya Mission, and since 2019 the Jal Jeevan Mission. Cooking gas, PMJDY, and more. These avoid the political trap of development not yielding electoral benefit - it offers direct and immediate quality of life gains while enabling investment in the real economic multipliers - trunk rail lines, expressways and the electricity grid.

UP is the crucible of this experiment - simultaneously the center of the low level benefits delivery effort, and by a distance the most hard driving state when it comes to expressway construction - they're building fixed assets at Jiangsu/Zhejiang/Guangdong speeds in UP now. UP is still poor - its GST contribution sits well below MH and even below KA but this will change by the end of this new administration's term.

Modi realized this plan works because fundamentally these efforts are not costly. Swacch Bharat Mission costs about as much as the Mumbai-Ahmedabad HSR and less than Delhi-Mumbai expressway. The problem was execution. This plays to his strengths - he's a hands on person who likes to keep track of execution, rather than being a political astronaut, who looks at grand far away visions from a height.

These actions are going to continue to yield results at least for another 10-15 years. But there's another subject that BJP should embrace wholeheartedly and push aggressively:

Law and Order

Not just a heavy-handed state approach like the US 'tough on crime' tactics, but fundamentally a rethink of the political and police interface, driven by policy templates suggested by Delhi, tried out in some preferred state locations to gain feedback and then expanded. Essentially a much more comprehensive and formalized take of Yogi's tough on crime approach in UP. This also keeps them in focused against aggressive goon based politics that dominate regional parties now (SP, TMC etc), and helps them deal with the inevitable future direction of Indian polity, which will be state vs street in multiple places. When 'BJP states' become places that not only have visibly better hard infrastructure but are also places where the general pop can be safe day and night, that is a long term political benefit, because their opposition fundamentally depends on lack of law and order.

There are so many problems due to rank incompetence in our political and administrative class.

1. Macro economics - Solve NPA, Infra, Industrial and Agricultural reforms, Manufacturing, Tech/Engineering, Digital, GST (all solved/being solved by center)
2. Micro economics - Toilets, Health, Water, Daily life (need to solve with help of state Govt. - need strong and clean leadership) - There were great CMs like Fadvanis/Yogiji but also bad ones like Rawat
3. Law & Order and rebuilding other institutions such as Education - Lacking (very weak)
4. Cultural - Ongoing ... this is where media needs to be co-opted

Law and Order, like what you call microeconomics, is an immediate political benefit path. It also addresses the opposition's likely pronounced effort to make the fight a state vs street one / andolanjeevi / manufactured protest based polity. It requires a bunch of deftly executed actions at the legislative and executive level.

Kishen Reddy - wasted away a leader with huge potential but thanks CBN he didnt make it to the next level, like they say in rocky - the worst thing that can happen to a boxer is getting civilized
Bandi Sanjay - the best hope, not sure how clever he is but yes
Raja Singh - the running back of the team, sometimes runs without direction
Aravind D - good overall skillset/talents but bade baap ka beta you never know how these kids turn up

Agree with suryag ji's assessment. So let me add some other points.

TS politics have long had a feudal lord influence, ever since post Razakar movement and operation Polo, Nizam was disposed, the region integrated into the Indian Union and before the landless peasants could revolt, the zamindars joined Congress and perpetuated their hold over the society.

Acharya Vinobha Bhave's bhoodan movement tried to change this, in fact it started from Pochampally, barely 50km from Hyderabad in 1950s but it couldn't really change the feudal structure or landownership pattern. Thats why there was considerable hold of Naxal movements over Telangana region for decades that followed.

Poor rainfall, arid climate and poor soil quality meant even if you had some land, eking out a living is hard and most lived at subsistence levels. There was lot of bonded labor too. The expression "banchan nee kaallu mokkuta" (I'm your slave touching your feet) was so prevalent among rural poor even until the late 90s. State provided jobs were a precious glimmer of hope. Thats why neglect by Andhra domination argument (even under NTR's regionalistic rule) had lot of takers and ultimately led to the rise of TRS and its success in bifurcating the state.

BJP always struggled to find its footing in the narrative and had no ideological arguments to influence the voters. KCR and his son KTR have given excellent support to ITES companies who set up shops in Hyd and the influx of investment $$$, NRI remittances have made land prices skyrocket. TRS is a huge land mafia and has enriched itself unimaginably. Computerisation of land records was another huge Govt led scam. Any opposition is tackled ruthlessly using the police force since lakhs of crores are at stake. But everyone has made and continues to make good money in TS. Even rural land prices ave skyrocketed.

While TS people are fed up with TRS' rampant corruption and there is dissatisfaction, they have been beneficiaries of the ITES+RE driven economic growth as well. So perhaps, since the issues of poverty, upper caste domination of the poor to slavery levels are issues of the past now for most TS residents. Their aspirations have shifted up the Maslow's pyramid to some extent. Secondly Hyd lives under the shadow of AIMIM and its crass muslim vote bank politics, and its open knowledge that they brought and settles a few lakh Rohingya migrants in and around Hyd. With TRS support they have got ration cards, aadhar cards and are indebted to AIMIM and will do anything for them. They regularly do martial trainings in full public view.

So finding a plank for BJP is not so easy. Anti-corruption? Yes, but won't go very far. Anti-dynastic ? Yes but won't go very far. Sabka Vikas ? Yes but won't go very far, vikas is already happening. Anti-anti-inational stance? Yes, but no one is feeling the threat yet. Caste/reservation politics ? No, those divisions aren't deep enough right now.

Creating an election plank is not easy, but not impossible either. BJP needs a charismatic leader to amplify this plank and wing it based on his/her personal credibility and charisma. They have some recognised faces, but none who can rise above the melee and inspire the whole state so strongly to sweep an election.

So the opportunity is there, but the task is as arduous as ksheera saagara madhanam to extract the pot of electoral success out of jana maanas. I don't see any of the four princelings having the stature to do it.

IMHO from a far off vantage point only, I could be wrong, so feel free to share your insights.

Battle for India will be fought and decided in 2024 & not in any state #elections

Saheb knows this! Hence this clever attempt to create frenzy around state results to establish a decisive psychological advantage over opposition.

Don’t fall or be part of this false narrative.

the qeschun upper most in the minds of every bakth

why is the majority under the constitutional jackboot since even way before independence

when will it be our turn for civilizational vikas or is the appeasement to continue endlessly onlee

OK, BJP & devotees, for long you have justified your spurning of the Hindu agenda w/ a petty party-political pursuit of a "Congress-mukt Bharat" (India freed from Congress).

Now that Congress has been wiped from the map, do you have more reasons to shirk your duty towards Dharma?

Actually, Congress mukt Bharat is successfully realised by AAPturds, in Delhi and now in PB.
However, they are even more sold out and compromised with tukde tudke and bif gang.

both need to unwind from their strenuous campaigning, after all, getting 2 seats in UP and that too in YA's raj, is a major victory.
soon, the famiglia, at the mercy and generosity of the regional CMs and satraps may only have RS seats open to them
Famiglia is baiting the G23 to break-away and form a separate Congress party so that leftovers from INC can jump the bandwagon and join there.
Then famiglia will slowly and steadily sell INC assets totaling about 5B$ in next 1 decade and enjoy their retirement in Italian Alps.

Some time when I am stuck at some riddle, I turn away from it and give it fresh look without any prejudice. Most of the time I solve the riddle with ease. Same logic I apply to this Parshant kishore. He has made his carrier on one success. Rest is just simple logic. There is nothing new in the statement above. Any mango man with average intelligence can come to same conclusion.one condition....he has to hate the potential employer who is not employing him. This guy has oversold himself.JMT

The large number of US-funded bio-labs in Ukraine is quite shocking.
GOI needs to have a full scope review of all US-funded projects in India across the board.
