Things not looking great. Although BJP would still form the govt, it won't be Modi if they get 250 odd seats. The question right now is whether it will be Modi or who else from non Modi camp within BJP becoming the next PM.

That would be optimum, I wouldn't mind a close BJP victory provided the toxic duo Modi & Shah are removed from Cabinet.

lol Sam is a Gujarati ? Hahaha didn't know this. I thought he was of tribal origin from Orissa or something.

What exactly is wrong with the stereotypical rubbish he spouted apart from showing himself to be ignorant.

Calm down. India doesn't vote based on what some Pitroda says or thinks. But keep yourself happy for a few more weeks if that works for you.

BJP's true vote bank is the people, says Shah​

Amit Shah, further attacking the Yadav family, said, "The Yadav family declined the invitation for the Ram Temple ceremony due to concerns about their vote bank, but we do not fear such considerations. Our true vote bank is the people. PM Modi has not only overseen the construction of the Ram Mandir but has also undertaken the reconstruction of the Kashi Vishwanath Mandir, previously demolished by Aurangzeb. Additionally, work is underway at the Somnath Mandir. The decision to abolish Article 370 was made to integrate Kashmir fully into India".

They waived off Rs 16 lakh crores of his friends. In UP, farmers are committing suicide but their loans were not waived off...."

Why do these people want Babri mosque at the place of Ram temple, says Union Minister Anurag Thakur​


Addressing a public meeting in Himachal Pradesh's Bilaspur, Union Minister Anurag Thakur says, "Those who used to say, repress Sanatan, won't leave Hindus, Ram is an imaginative figure, Ram Setu doesn't exist and even today they are saying that we will build Babri Mosque at the place of Ram Temple. I want to ask, when the land for Babri mosques has been allotted separately, why do these people want Babri mosque at the place of Ram temple, why these people are doing appeasement politics...Their intentions will never be fulfilled."

Yes majority of Indians didn't vote for Modi yet BJP and his allies has 350+ seats in parliament. I know you aren't that sharp but atleast make some sense sometime. 37% voted for BJP but out of what? You do realize 100% never turns out to vote right? The voters turn out always around 60-65% mark.

Twist or cry how much you want, there is no denying Modi's popularity in India or overseas.

'Pulwama Still A Big Mystery…BJP Can Do Anything During Polls’: Cong's Warring On Channi’s Poonch Attack Remark


After Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi’s “poll stunt” remark on the Poonch terror attack in which an IAF soldier was killed and four were injured, the grand old party’s Punjab unit president and its Lok Sabha candidate from Ludhiana, Amarinder Singh Raja Warring said that the BJP can do anything during elections.

Warring went on to say that the Pulwama attack, in which over 40 CRPF personnel were killed on February 14, 2019, is still a “big mystery”.

“Pulwama attack is still a big mystery and story…I’m not talking about Poonch attack but BJP can do anything during elections,” Amarinder Singh Raja Warring said.

The Congress leader also mentioned former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik who raised questions over the Pulwama attack and alleged intelligence failures.

BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla launched a scathing attack on the Congress party accusing it of “playing vote bank ki Rajniti over Rashtraniti (playing politics of vote bank instead of country welfare)”.

“In Modi Virodh giving clean chit to Pakistan and Ajmal Kasab other Jihadis Congress ka haath pakistan ke saath!” the BJP leader said in an X post.

“Anyone who speaks the language of Pakistan should be put in jail, ” Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also reacted to Warring’s statement saying, “Those raising Pakistan slogans should leave the country, not become a burden on India.”

Former Punjab chief minister and Congress candidate Jalandhar parliamentary constituency, Charanjit Singh Channi on Sunday had called the Poonch terror attack a “stunt” meant to make the BJP win the Lok Sabha elections.

As usual -- traiter level talks from Congress- nothing unusual
 
Whoever wins should win with smashing majority. Coalition of parties never works and the Government will not be able to implement anything in their manifesto.

All the best to India.
 
Sam Pitroda seems to be another buffoon allied to Congress. He would complement Rahul baba really nicely.

I can picture both Rahul and Pitroda cracking jokes and laughing their tails off all day.

‘My vote snatched’: India election clouded by mysterious candidate pullouts

Prince Patel cancelled his vacation plans after the dates were announced for India’s ongoing weeks-long elections. The 61-year-old retired engineer said he had waited patiently for five years to cast his vote in Surat, India’s diamond hub in the western Indian state of Gujarat, “to give my referendum against the policy failures of [Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s] government”.

But when the May 7 date arrived for the city to vote along with 92 other constituencies in the third phase of India’s election, there were no polling booths set up in Surat.

Two weeks earlier, the Election Commission of India (ECI) had already called the seat in favour of Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after cancelling the nominations of the opposition Congress party’s candidate and five others. The eight remaining candidates all withdrew.

Patel said he was devastated. He had voted for the BJP in 2014, lifted by Modi’s promises of “acche din” (good days). But by 2019, disenchantment had set in. Unemployment and price rise are some of his biggest worries, he said – sentiments that mirror recent opinion polls.

“I would rather vote for a pigeon than choose the BJP,” he said. “My children have graduated but there are no jobs.”

Yet, Surat is only the most extreme example of a peculiar phenomenon that is playing out in multiple constituencies across India: opposition candidates dropping out, joining the ruling BJP or alleging threats to their lives. Even as the BJP has denied any foul play, opposition candidates claim these instances are evidence of an uneven political playing field.

“The government is their [BJP’s] own, and the election commission cancelled several nominations on one point or another,” said Vijay Lohar, who was the candidate of a regional party, the Bahujan Republican Socialist Party, before his nomination was rejected by election authorities. “The BJP is the referee of this game. Where should I complain?”

‘Show of dominance’

More than 400km (250 miles) miles away from Surat, the city of Indore in the central state of Madhya Pradesh is also preparing for what is shaping up, effectively, as a non-contest.

The city’s vote is scheduled for May 13. But Akshay Kanti Bam, the candidate for the Congress, withdrew his nomination on April 29, the last date for withdrawal of candidatures – after the deadline for filing nominations had passed. In essence, that has meant that the Congress cannot contest against sitting BJP member of parliament Shankar Lalwani, who is also the party’s nominee this time around. Bam, meanwhile, has also quit the Congress and joined the BJP on election eve, claiming that the party that nominated him for the constituency did not support his campaign on the ground.

The Congress party has called on voters in Indore to pick the ‘None of the Above’, or NOTA, option on electoral voting machines – which allows them to show displeasure with all candidates who are contesting – even as it accuses the BJP of pressuring Bam to switch sides on election eve. Bam did not respond to repeated requests from Al Jazeera for an interview.

The BJP insists it has had no role in the decisions of opposition candidates who have withdrawn their nominations.

“People have withdrawn as per their discretion and these are absolutely baseless allegations,” said Zafar Islam, a national spokesperson for the BJP. “Thousands of candidates are fighting in this election across hundreds of seats peacefully – these allegations are only aimed at maligning the BJP’s image.”

But some analysts see a pattern in the constituencies affected by candidate withdrawals. Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh are both bastions of the BJP: The party won all 26 of Gujarat’s seats in the Lok Sabha – the lower house of India’s parliament – in 2014 and 2019. It won 27 out of Madhya Pradesh’s 29 seats in 2014 and improved that to 28 wins in 2019.

In the public eye, the pull-out of opposition candidates from key contests in these states is akin to “booth capturing”, said Neelanjan Sircar, a senior fellow at the New Delhi-based Centre for Policy Research (CPR), referring to the illegal practice of seizing control of a polling station during elections, which used to be common in parts of India until a few decades ago.

“At a level of the booth, you capture the booth you are strongest at, and that is done to demonstrate dominance,” said Sircar. The idea, he said, is to “signal to the opposition that we can win elections whenever we want”.

And however the ruling party wants, if Jitendra Chauhan, a candidate who withdrew his nomination from the Gandhinagar seat in Gujarat, is to be believed.

‘Threat to our lives’

Chauhan’s name was supposed to be among the options on the voting machine on May 7, when Gandhinagar voted.

But the 39-year-old painter, who was contesting as an independent candidate, pulled out of the election against India’s powerful Home Minister Amit Shah, who is widely seen as Modi’s deputy.

“There has been extreme pressure upon me, and I have been mentally tortured to the point where I gave up,” Chauhan told Al Jazeera. He claimed that “BJP people” approached his extended family to pressure him to quit. If they could reach his family, they could hurt them too, he feared.

“So I backed off and withdrew my nomination,” he said.

Father to three daughters, Chauhan released a video on April 21, sobbing and alluding to a threat that he received of consequences – including for his very life – if he did not back down. Many other candidates also pulled out from the contest against Shah.

“I have a responsibility to raise my daughters,” he said, adding that he moved his children to safety outside Gujarat, which is ruled by the BJP, before coming back to vote on May 7. “I’m not financially well-off and I cannot afford to resist the BJP because anything can happen to our lives.”

The BJP has not lost the Gandhinagar seat since 1984. In the 2019 elections, Shah won the seat by a margin of 550,000 votes, and there is little evidence that he would have faced any risk of a loss even if all candidates had contested as they had planned to. But his campaign has set its eyes on doubling Shah’s 2019 victory margin, and fewer contestants could help.

In the 2014 and 2019 elections, “there was a booming turnout for anticorruption promises and nationalism”, but the BJP has lost that wave, said Sircar of the CPR. “The BJP is certainly the most popular party in India, but you have to manufacture some ways of keeping these markers of dominance,” he said.

A Gujarat-based political analyst, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of fears over their safety, said these incidents pointed to holes in India’s claims to be the world’s largest democracy simply because of the scale of the election it holds. “The worst of democracies also have elections – you cannot do away with elections,” they said. “But the question is about the fairness of the electoral process, and that seems compromised in India.”

It is a sentiment that Chauhan echoed. He said he had thought of contesting because, as a common man who had grown up in poverty, he felt politics was the only vehicle for change.

“But it will always be like a hole in my heart that I was forced into withdrawing,” said Chauhan, his voice cracking, as he spoke on May 7 after voting. “When I voted today, I did not feel like an independent citizen. I felt like a subject of King Modi.”

‘Future in darkness’

In India, a walkover is rare for candidates. An uncontested win has only been recorded 23 times since the country gained independence in 1947.

But for a little more than a decade, Indian elections have also offered the NOTA option. That’s what the Congress is pushing voters in Indore to pick on May 13.

Anuj, a 60-year-old from Indore, who wished to be identified by his first name, was first drawn to the Congress when he drove the campaign jeep of the late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi as a young man more than three decades ago. Since then, he has been loyal to the party, he said, and has campaigned for the Congress this time too.

“We all will vote NOTA. My party candidate is not there, and the other option is the BJP,” he said. “It may not change anything, but it will give comfort to my heart that I resisted.”

Meanwhile, a group of lawyers working with civil society activists are also planning to take India’s election commission to court for calling the result of the Surat election without allowing people to vote on NOTA.

“Is NOTA not seen as an independent candidate on the machine?” one of the lawyers said in a conversation with Al Jazeera, requesting anonymity, citing fears of pressure aimed at pre-empting the petition.

Back in Surat, Patel, the retired engineer, was more blunt about his frustration.

“My right to vote has been snatched,” he said.

PM's 'Babri lock' remarks absolute lie: Priyanka

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday termed as an "absolute lie" Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks that her party will put a "Babri lock" on the Ram temple in Ayodhya if it is voted to power, saying court judgements will be honoured.

Prime Minister Modi had recently stated at a rally in Madhya Pradesh that he wants the BJP-led NDA to win 400 seats in the Lok Sabha polls to ensure the Congress does not bring back Article 370 in Kashmir and put a "Babri lock" on the Ram temple in Ayodhya.

"This is an absolute lie ('yeh ekdum jhooth hai'). The Congress party had said a number of times that it will honour the judgement of the court. We have done this (in the past), and will do so in the future," she told reporters.

On Modi's Adani-Ambani jibe, she said Prime Minister Modi has been forced to take their names. Rahul Gandhi, she noted, mentions the names of Adani and Ambai in his speeches every day. Modi had on Wednesday accused the Congress of having a nexus with "Ambani and Adani", and asked if the party has received "tempo loads of black money" from the two businessmen for its leader Rahul Gandhi to stop "abusing" them.

Priyanka Gandhi also said that she wants the prime minister to read the Congress manifesto before commenting on it.

"Though he is the prime minister and elder to me...my advice is that he should first read the (Congress) manifesto, and then comment on it. He has not read it. Whatever comes to his mind, he says that it is written (in the manifesto). All the things that he is saying are written in manifesto are (actually) not written."

Politicians say what gets them votes.
Unfortunately in a country like India where majority of the electorate isn’t the brightest bulb out there, these sort of statements are the ones which work for votes.

You will find stupid statements across party lines, that’s just how it is.

It might take decades or even centuries for Indians to understand their rights and develop understanding of right and wrong and learn how to use their brain critically.

Even some of the so called educated ones here (assuming they are not paid IT cell employees) are so brainwashed it paints a depressing picture for the foreseeable future of the nation.

There is a difference though. This imbecile is a 2-term PM of world's apparently largest democracy. He was occupying chair of a state for 13 years before that.

Do you think its normal for a person of his stature to blabber this much about most inane things/ I've been following Indian politics for 35 years now. Never before any head of state has been as shallow and imbecile as this creature is.
 

'In India, some look like Mongolians, some are black...': Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Pitroda remarks​


West Bengal Congress chief claimed that there is anti-incumbency against the state government of West Bengal. Chowdhury also took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asserted that he became "nervous" after the first three phases of the ongoing Lok Sabha polls.​


Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said that India has a 'N-word type class' and 'Mongoloid class' after Indian Overseas Congress chief Sam Pitroda stepped down following his remarks on India’s diversity triggered a firestorm, and drew sharp reactions from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP.

"Our topography gives rise to different kinds of appearances of our people...," he said to ANI, adding "there are people of proto australoid type, negrita type class in our country, some are like "Mongolians", some are black, some are white..."

Pitroda stepped down from his post after backlash over the remark, but Chowdhury's comment came even as the Congress distanced itself from Pitroda's statement. “People in the East look like the Chinese, people in the West look like the Arabs, people in the North look like, maybe, White and people in the South look like Africans,” adding, “It does not matter. All of us are brothers and sisters,” Pitroda said.

West Bengal Congress chief claimed that there is anti-incumbency against the state government of West Bengal. "I want to expose the wrongdoings of the government in front of people... As far as the country is concerned, PM Modi has failed in many aspects and has been exposed in front of the people..."

Another day, another humiliating statement from Congress.

If Mods permit, can we have a Congress humiliation tracking thread? I can already list down 5 such embarrassing statements in last 5 days. So it will be good to have an overall tracker of this joke a political party.

It’s not even disliking her, I have 0 like or dislike for her. I think she was a good actor and I loved her roles Queen and Tanu weds Manu.

But we are talking about voting for someone who can represent us and fight for our upliftment.

People make fun of Rahul Gandhi for his knowledge/IQ back from his Arnab interview days. Yet the same people are now supporting a worse female version of that Rahul Gandhi just because she’s in BJP?

I mean if that doesn’t show how dumb Indian voters are then nothing will.

There is a difference though. This imbecile is a 2-term PM of world's apparently largest democracy. He was occupying chair of a state for 13 years before that.

Do you think its normal for a person of his stature to blabber this much about most inane things/ I've been following Indian politics for 35 years now. Never before any head of state has been as shallow and imbecile as this creature is.

Again, the statements don’t bother me. It’s statements and if that is what is required to win then power hungry politicians do that.

What bothers me is after 75+ years of independence these kind of statements still work.

It’s like we will never see a smart electorate ever in our lifetime.

There are hundreds of contestants in this elections who cannot read or write or even know the basics of Indian democracy and its history. There are enough clips on Youtube to expose these criminals who hail from all political parties from all different backgrounds.

lol Sam is a Gujarati ? Hahaha didn't know this. I thought he was of tribal origin from Orissa or something.

What exactly is wrong with the stereotypical rubbish he spouted apart from showing himself to be ignorant.

Calm down. India doesn't vote based on what some Pitroda says or thinks. But keep yourself happy for a few more weeks if that works for you.

According to his own words, he should look like an Arab.

I think he might have to go a little southwest of Arabia to find his own types.

Let me repeat, there is no one dumber than feku in Indian politics. Just because he has infinite spin doctors to rescue him from precarious situations due to his foot in mouth nature, doesn't mean anyone comes close to him as far as intelligence is concerned.

Modi might be fake, but he is still a million times better than Rahool who embarrasses himself every time he opens his mouth.
 
People so easily forget how dumb feku has been proved time and time again.

Yup and one shouldn’t vote for any of them irrespective of the political party they hail from.

So what’s your point?

I will never use the word dumb with Modi. He is ruthless, shrewd and a seasoned politician.
One might not agree with his policies or brand of politics but as far as his political acumen is concerned he’s quite sharp.

He and his advisors knows how to fool the public, how to control the mindless masses and they have perfected it for the last 20+ years.

If he was dumb he wouldn’t have been able to do that.

Narendra Modi's 'snap ties' dare to MK Stalin over Sam Pitroda's 'South India-Africa' analogy​


Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday dared Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin to break ties with the Congress over Sam Pitroda's remark that "people in the South look like Africans".

Sam Pitroda, in a controversial remark, also said that those from the North East resemble the Chinese.

"A close aide of Congress and biggest adviser of 'Prince' (Rahul Gandhi), what he said is very shameful. Congress feels that people of Northeast look like Chinese. Can a country accept such things? Congress feels that the people of South India look like Africans. I want to ask the Congress chief ministers of Karnataka and Telangana, can they accept such opinions?" he said at an election rally.

PM Modi said MK Stalin often talks about Tamil Nadu culture but didn't have the guts to break ties with the Congress for Tamil self-respect.

"I want to ask the Tamil Nadu CM who keeps talking about Tamil Nadu culture, such a big allegation has been made, will DMK break alliance with Congress for the self-respect of Tamil, does he have the guts for that?... Congress feels people of the West look like Arabs, I want to ask the 'fake Shiv Sena chief', remember about Balasaheb Thackeray...will Maharashtra people accept it?...Congress is now making racist statements," he added

No South Indians should vote for racist Congress
 
This is Sam Pitroda FYI who called South Indians as black Africans, is a close ally of Rahul Gandhi. He manages all overseas trip and meetings of RaGa

You vote for what the party stands for and their manifesto. Individuals contesting the elections are mostly useless.

Congress stands for dividing the Hindus based on caste, people on religion and language. They also want wealth redistribution(socialist) and appeasing minorities for their votes.

Liberal agenda is now same as far left globalist agenda. These neo liberals are a black mark on the original definition of who a liberal or preogressive is.

I think we have to agree to disagree here.

I think, as far as politics is considered Modi is one of the smartest leaders we have seen.
He knew how to get the business houses on his side, he knew how to buy the media, he knew how to create a false image, he knew how to brainwash people etc etc

He might not be the most academically qualified politician out there but as far as politics goes he’s smart enough to brainwash majority public by using various tactics which were used by historical figures.

Even if all of it wasn’t his doing but was his advisors doing’s, he was smart enough to hire these advisors instead of the morons Rahul Gandhi hired.

Is that offensive what Pitroda said ?

You're the same person who called Dravidians 'charcoal skinned' thinking skin color was an insult.

And that’s the whole problem with the current political system and the electorate.

Two rights never make a right. One shouldn’t blindly support BJP just because congress is worse or vice-versa.

What people need is for parties to give tickets to candidates who can actually work for their constituencies.

Do you actually think someone like Kangana will even know what to do with the MP funds let alone the other duties which comes under MP mandate?

Had my post mentioned the name Rahul Gandhi instead of Kangana, you probably wouldn’t have even quoted me.
That’s what the crux of the issue is these days. It all stems down to systematic brainwashing where one feels the need to defend even a legitimate criticism against the political party they support.

The day people realise again it’s OK to criticise a political party for their mistakes/wrong doings/bad choices etc is the day we move forward again.

I don't blindly support them. It is the better of the 2 devils.

I simply cannot accept the socialist and globalist agenda of Congress. The only other option is BJP. Whoever wins the elections must get absolute majority. Never believed in coalition governments. They never achieve anything. Since I cannot accept Socialism and Globalism, I have to go with BJP.
 
Subramanian Swamy thinks if Modi is elected again, India will be akin to Nazi Germany of 1930s and the country will never have elections again.

Pretty strong words from a fellow BJP member. I know Swamy is independent in nature but that's quite an assessment of Modi !

India will never be a Nazi germany. It is not part of BJP manifesto. Modi has been in power for 2 terms. Has any Indian Muslim be forced out of the country? Was there any mass deportation of Muslims?

Fear mongering is one of the tactics all political parties use. Subramanya Swamy is a tool. He has made several senseless statements before. Nothing new.

Swamy is overreaching in his assessment.

Timely democratic elections represent the crown jewel of Indian democracy, a facet of governance about which every Indian proudly speaks.

I agree about the fear mongering being a standard tactic of political parties. But Swamy's statement had anything to with the muslim angle. He has his own history of making such remarks.

It's about the concentration of power in one individual to the point where even the RSS apparatchiks are being sidelined i.e the lack of internal democracy within the BJP. It's the cult leader vibe that resembled the early days of Hitler that he's alluding to.

A presiding officer (BJP wallah) was caught destroying 8 key ballot votes thus causing the election to go in favour of the BJP candidate for Mayor. He still hasn't been arrested for this blatant act. It makes you wonder.

He never said Nazi Germany and all. That is your invention. He just said, if he becomes PM there will be no election for a long time indicating that govt will bring 'One Nation-One Election'.

Shah is the thakur, and feku is his ramlal, with Shah's influence shaping the party's direction, and feku serving as a symbolic figurehead, echoing Shah's directives. It wouldn't be surprising if, behind closed doors, feku were to even massage Shah's head, symbolizing his subordinate role. :rabada2 :inti

Rigging may persist, but the elections will be held on time.

Most of his cult followers will overlook pre-poll and post-poll rigging as long as he remains in power, but the notion of not having timely elections will not favor Modi.
